Waiting For Him

After a while, Vania and Lisa arrived at the school parking lot. There were many students from different classes gathered in the parking lot, and some went straight to the field. The number of students who were gathered in the parking lot indicated that they had not yet left for the camp destination.

"Thank God we weren't late." Vania was happy because it turned out that she was not late.

"Yes, Vania, they're still chill in the parking lot."

[To all students and students, please go to the front of the field and line up immediately. Soon we will go to the forest where we are camping.]

The voice sounded clear and loud throughout the school area. It was the speaker's voice coming from the principal, he was telling all the students that they were leaving soon.

"Hey, it's been announced, let's go to the field, Vania."

"You right, okay, let's go Lisa," said Vania while walking.

The two of them walked side by side towards the field to catch the sound from the speaker.

"Lisa." Vania called Lisa.

Lisa's gaze was focused on the cellphone she was playing with, regardless of what was around her.

"Hmm?" Lisa mumbled as if asking, but Lisa didn't really seem focused on what her friend wanted to say.

"Lisa! I want to talk, please pay attention." Feeling her words were not heard, Vania called Lisa once again with a slightly louder tone.

Lisa pressed the power button once, then she put her cellphone in her pocket.

"What's the matter, Vania?"

"When we get to the forest, let's meet up at there."

"How do you want to meet, we just went there this time, you're so funny," said Lisa who smiled while shaking her head.

"I'll text you when I already get there."

"What if there is no network in there?" Lisa asked.

"Hmm, I guess we'll find each other later," answer Vania.

"Well, okkay." Lisa said yes to her friend's request, she smiled while directing her right hand which formed the OK logo.

After a leisurely walk from the parking lot to the school field, now the two of them had arrived at the school field. There were many students who were lined up led by their respective class representatives.

"That's my class, okay Vania, i'll go first." Lisa approached her class which was lined up.

"Yes, Lisa."

Vania also walked over to find where her class lined up. Vania kept walking until she found her classmate who was ready to line up. Without thinking, Vania then went there and joined the line.

After finishing lining up, the teacher checks the attendance of the students by taking the attendance of the students one by one.

"Okay, now I Will absent all of you," said the teacher who immediately started his class absence.

"Alex Ferguso!" The teacher called his students in a loud tone to be heard.

"Yes, Sir," respond Alex Ferguso whose name was called.

The absence continued until it was Vania's turn to be absent. "Vania Callista?"

"I am here Sir." Vania answered the call from her teacher.

"Okay, I've checked all of you. It turns out that there are three people who haven't come yet," The teacher let out a deep sigh.

"Joshua, Max, and Neman, where have they been?" The teacher asked the students in front of him who were lined up.

The teacher take a deep sigh. "Well, I guess we should wait for them."

The teacher was annoyed with their lateness. After the students in other classes finished lining up, they entered their respective class buses and went straight to their camping destination.

They had been waiting for more than twenty minutes for Neman, Max, and Joshua to arrive, but they haven't come yet.

"Sir, the other buses have all left, and we haven't. It's better for us to leave now without waiting for them." One of the other students advised the teacher to immediately go to the camping destination.

"Wait a minute, if they still haven't come in ten minutes, then we have to go without them."

Shortly after the teacher spoke, they came running. Neman, Max and Joshua, the three of them came towards the teacher's line with panting breath due to exhaustion after running as fast as possible.

All eyes immediately turned to those who had just arrived late.

"Why do you guys always come late. Until camping, which should come at 08.30, you are almost an hour late," the teacher was shocked and wonder at them while arranging the class line.

"Before this, we were, hmm ..." Max thought of something to find a reason for their delay to make sense.

"Ah, yes, we were stuck in traffic, Sir, and the motorbike broke down too, so, we go to the repair shop for a while first, right Josh?" continued Max. He hoped his lie could be believed by the teacher.

"Y-yes Sir, that's right, Neman's motorbike is broke down. As Neman's loyal friends, we have to wait for him," reply Joshua.

They both try to lie so they don't get punished. The thing that actually happened was, they were late because they were waiting for Neman who wake up late.

"You don't have an excuse," the teacher snap.

"Ahh, come on Sir, it's just a moment," said Neman.

Neman is a young man who has a handsome face, has a sharp jaw, sharp nose and cold sharp eyes that make him a little respected. Although he has a handsome face, his handsome face becomes useless due to his bad behavior which is always looked up to by the people around him. All they think about when they hear Neman's name is the ugliness of his behavior. Neman has a selfish and stubborn nature. He always wanted to win and did not want to lose. Unlike other students who wear short-sleeved Scout clothes, Neman actually wears long-sleeved Scout clothes that are rolled up to the elbows.

Unlike Neman and Joshua, Max doesn't have a face as handsome as them. Max has frizzy hair which is his trademark. While Joshua is dominant with his yellow-blonde hair and his wistful gaze.

Because the delay of the three of them is what makes Vania and the others feel annoyed, they are tired of waiting for the presence of the three people in the midst of the sun which is starting to heat up a little. They can only hide their annoyance because they don't dare and don't want to get into trouble with Neman and his friends.

Neman, Joshua, and Max. They are one of the most popular groups in school, almost everyone knows their name. They are famous because they are a group of feared bullies, and the leader of their group is Neman. Neman once won his school's Silat championship with the first position, thus making him respected and feared by the entire school. Neman's fighting ability is unquestionable, because Neman once fought with four people who were carrying weapons, but the one who managed to win was Neman, even though he was alone.

Neman is also the son of the principal, which makes him somewhat protected from his mistakes. There was no way for the ordinary disciples to take revenge on Neman. Knowing that, they prefer to be quiet and not make trouble with Neman.

Vania seemed annoyed because of their lateness and also their presence, 'Why do they have to be present, it's better if they don't attend at all,' she said to herself. Hers face was sullen but she didn't look at them.

Vania is one of the bullying victim from the Neman group too, Vania's mind was temporarily happy before their arrival, because she thought this camp event would be the best event in their absence, but her hopes were dashed after seeing the three of them. Vania thought that the camp event would be the worst event according to her because the arrival Neman and his group.

"Okay, now everyone has gathered and no one is left behind," said the teacher while monitoring his students. "Alright everyone, let's get on the bus, according to the line, starting from the left row."

One by one the students who were lining up began to enter the bus. Unlike the others, Neman and his group went in without regard to the order of entry according to the row, and they chose the seats in the back row. The teacher who witnessed that could only shake his head and sigh.

It didn't take long, just a moment to wait for another line to enter, now it's time for Vania's line which is in the far right position to get into the bus, and she just got into the bus. After getting into the bus, Vania walked down the bus seat to look for an empty seat to be occupied by her.
