1 The Classroom

A bright morning, where everyone usually got the excitement. It contrasts with the classroom 2-2 of this high school, they complained that the sun is too hot for doing the flag ceremony. It happens almost every week on Monday. Some of them were just wagging their uniform's hat to produce a cool breeze even they were small. There is also the upper body freeze like a statue but the legs are constantly moving due to fatigue. The rest are just gossiping with each other.

When the ceremony is over, all of the students enter their classrooms. Amir as the leader of classroom 2-2 with his best friend Masri met the homeroom teacher, Mrs. Yuli to provide a daily report on the attendance of the students in classroom 2-2. The others remain in the class to cool off under the fan that hanging in the middle of the ceiling. Some sat on the floor drinking ice that they get from the canteen. the classroom is very chaotic.

In the middle of being absorbed in relaxing, suddenly someone banged on the door, making the whole class nervous and immediately sat in their seats. Now all eyes are on the door; waiting for Mr. Manra, today's first teacher comes.

"Hahaha...!" Amir's voice laughed loudly as he entered the classroom followed by Masri. All the students who were initially tense immediately turned annoyed and cheered to Amir and Masri. With high confidence, Masri stood at the front of the class.

"Hey! Mr. Manra is not coming in today!" Masri said. All the students clapped their hands happily.

"Why all of you? I AM NOT DONE YET!!" Masri said, felt piqued.

"But we have an assignment!" continued Masri. All faces of the student changed.

"Watch out...! THE WHOLE CLASS SHOULDN'T DO THIS ASSIGNMENT WITHOUT EXCEPTION!! DID YOU ALL UNDERSTAND?!" The order of the class leader Amir. Everyone who agreed immediately went to the canteen, and Ridwan, who was just busy in the corner of the classroom, focused on his laptop.

The only ones living in the class now are Ridwan and the k-popers; Yuki, Rianis, and Tiwi are watching Korean drama on Yuki's laptop. Meanwhile, the 'madam noisy' a.k.a. Jesi is busy with her online conversation with his new crush. Everything is 'perfectly normal'.

The next class begins. Again, this lesson teacher did not come in. It was a great opportunity for all the students in the classroom 2-2 to take a break. Madi and Ahruz slept on woven mats, which they found out from nowhere. Ridwan as usual; pretending to be cool in the corner of the classroom with his laptop. Maybe Ridwan thought that if it looked so cool. In fact, the whole class found it was strange. And the others busy with their own business, eating, reading, watching, singing, annoying each other, and sleep in every corner of the room with the chair that placed in a line as the bed.

The trio of rempong (a call for the people who like talk about each other in Indonesia) women who were also taking a break, they had the back of the classroom to sleep in, with each bag used as a pillow. Sita falls asleep first, Zahra busy with her pocket mirror to check her beautiful as well. Maybe this last member looking the only one normal girl in this group, she just quiet, talkless, she just lay down while looking at the ceiling with her blank face, blank mind. At least, that is her only talent.

On a different day, this time a physics lesson (again). Isti and Jesi are certainly ready, they are competitors in the class. Compete for higher scores. The class is very quiet. Only heard the sound of the paper being turned in a book. It's really different than the day before when some teachers can't come to the class.

"Alright! Anyone know what the moment of force is?" Ask Mr. Manra. The class was silent for a moment, except for Melly who was busy disturbing Tiwi from the front. Mr. Manra just looking around, hoping someone raises their hands up and answers his question.

"I know what that is ..." Melly muttered. Suddenly Isti who was at the table next to Melly finally raised her hand. While reading her notes, Isti answers the question that was given by Mr. manra. There is no meaningful response from all of the students in the class because they know Isti always answers it. Almost all of the students in this class don't really like Isti. She's a nerd. Unlike Melly, who even though she already knows, but very lazy to talk and prefers to playing like what kiddos do. Melly is a friendly student, that the reason why Isti always follows her. The next question and this time Melly answered easily, then continued to annoy Tiwi. Tiwi grumbled several times, but always Melly ignored her.

"Why is a genius people always do anything like crazy?" Amir muttered in awe when seeing how Melly do anything as well even though she never being serious in everything.

At this time, Jesi seems to work really hard on her paper. She moved the pencil very fast till around heard the scraping sound. She worried if Mr. Manra will ask the others question and got preceded by Isti or Melly. The other students just hope that the study time is over and go to the outside, to the canteen. So they just have to survive from the next question, just stay still and looking at the smarter student doing the answers.

Melly still playing with her toys, pencil, paper, and latex insect toys. No one knows what is in that 17 years old girl. Some of her friends just think if she has a home problem causes pressure about her talent. So, she just does whatever she likes outside. However, everyone knows she just really genius, friendly, and a bit crazy cause no one can guess what she wants to do. She loved to following too much academic competition since she was in school.
