A New Age At School

Author's Point Of View.

It was not a happy ending for these two characters in the two chapters that before this one. Jackson Freeman retired after the worst incident of his life and returned to school afterward. After learning of Jackson's retirement, Lisa was compelled by her mother to attend classes.

Jackson's Point Of View.

Me and my siblings have been provided with uniforms, as well as a variety of other amenities like low brand mobile phones, rudimentary bags and shoes purchased from the market, not to mention... Glasses.

During breakfast, my mother said, "What do you want to ride to school in?"

"Maybe taxi app."

The mother replied promptly to the suggestion to use an online cab service to get to school.

Every month, my driver would be required to take a day off work. As a result, my bodyguard remained at home to ensure that my home was secure.

In the morning, as soon as I finished breakfast, I called a cab using my cell phone. A short while later, an elderly man on a white Honda NT650 appeared in a dark blue jacket. When he saw that I was serving, the driver grinned.

"You want to attend Pramuwijaya High School, right? Are you familiar with the shortcut?"

I shook my head in sadness "Sorry, but I don't know how to go there. If so, when was the last time you visited that location?"

After a brief check at the map, the driver said that he would take me along the path indicated on it. I'm having a great time traveling to my new school. Usually, I can view the street scene from my limo's windshield.

I return the helmet to the driver when I get at school and thank him for his service. When I reached for my cell phone, I dialed a five-star rating and left a generous tip for my driver. I could see the driver weeping from a distance as he turned his head.

Also, this feels wonderful to me, I replied.

I went towards my new school, feeling comfortable and unbothered by everything that was happening around me. In my haste to get to the school steps, I knocked over a girl.

The two of us tumble to the ground. Her gaze fell on mine before she seized my collar.

"Hey, be careful when you're walking! You know that my skirt became dirty?" Then she gets up and walks away, leaving me to my thoughts.

Was I ever wrong? - I replied with irritated eyes.

Then I walk into my classroom to see pupils talking and playing with their cell phones. A chair appeared, and I quickly sat in it. Using my cell phone, I played the music.

When I looked up, I recognized a familiar person. The girl I knocked down on the stairs was a classmate. "You?" Our eyes connect and we point at one another.

Some person in the class identified this female figure as mine.

"Is that Lisa Hanugrah you're looking for? You know, the musician that received the prize as a rookie artist a few days ago?"

"It's true, you're on the money."

She accepted the request to take a picture as the class environment grew more animated. In her mind, she was going to be the most popular student in the class.

This class is full of students who are well-known to the television industry even though they are actually students.

On my cell phone, I listened to the music regardless of Lisa's situation. Homeroom instructor enters class with student attendance book. We sat down at their chairs instantly. Teacher smiled warmly and greeted the kids.

'Good morning to everybody!"

Greeting the teacher with a cheery "Good morning, Sir!", the students responded.

"Please accept our sincere welcome to Pramuwijaya High School! It has a wide range of faculties and resources. Please don't miss out on the many extracurricular activities that are offered at our school."

Oh, my God. I'm very sorry. Why do I need to hear it again?

Pramuwijaya High School is still a topic of conversation for the teacher.

"The next step is to make introductions. Who would like to introduce themselves first?"

As Lisa raised her hand and walked up to the front of the room, she greeted everyone with a confident grin.

"I'm Lisa Hanugrah and I'd want to say hello to everyone. I welcome your calls. The only things I like doing are sleeping and eating. Thank you for your time and consideration", She took a seat.

"Lisa Hanugrah? A few weeks ago, you won an award."

"Yes, sir," she said.

"Thank you for coming to our school. We hope you will be able to draw attention to our school in the media."

As Lisa said with a smile, "Sure thing, sir."

"How about introducing your friend to us, who do you pick?"

Lisa squinted her eyes and said, "Him."

Well, I withdrew my earbuds before the lecture became uncomfortable.

"Me?"

"Okay… You're free to stand up at this point."

I get to my feet and present myself to the group "It is with great pleasure that I announce myself to you as Muhammad Jeksen Frimantyo. You can call me Jack."

"Okay, Jack, thank you."

"You'll pay for that," I told Lisa as I sat down.

Many students take the time to introduce themselves to one another.

"Holly Ferguson here. You may call me Holly if you'd want to! ", said Holly, pointing to a nearby tree. Because of her angelic traits, Holly is the most popular student. As a result, several of the males in her class fell in love with her.

"Okay, there is one more student to be added to the list. Where is Dessy Reeves?"

Dessy? Lisa is the subject of this essay.

Dessy Reeves, the girl who had been summoned by the instructor, came when the door was opened.

Dessy apologized to Lisa, who was surprised when she arrived.

"It's fine to sit next to Jack, I'll let you."

Then she came over to her desk and glared at Lisa with a frustrated expression on her face. My expectations were not met when I learned that Dessy attended the same school as myself.

~~~

The teacher asked me to leave the classroom for a few minutes during recess. A group of Lisa's new pals also went on the canteen with her. I quickly went to the canteen to purchase food. Suddenly, I noticed Holly standing alone in the school's park.

"Hello, Holly," I said as I approached her.

"It must be Jack. Should I call you Jackson Freeman?"

Her question, "What are you talking about?" had me in a state of astonishment.

"Jackson, I'm familiar with you. You are my all-time favorite artist. Your desire to leave from the entertainment industry actually surprises me."

"The subject will not be revisited, Holly. You know, I'm more interested in life than celebrity."

Holly nods her head, indicating that she understands what I've stated.

"So, let's go on... Why do you cause a scandal, then?"

Damn, it was right after the fact.

"It's hardly a scandal, in my opinion. Maria Fantasia was the first woman I had sex with."

"Her? A young woman who has a spouse already?"

With drinks in her hand, she touches her face and I nod.

"What?? At initially, who is more interested in having sexual relations with the other person, you or her?"

As soon as I informed Maria, she was stunned.

"Wasn't it Maria who did it first? She must be completely out of her mind."

"Yes, that's what I'm talking about."

We sat in quiet for a moment, not saying a word. The last time I spoke with a buddy my age was a long time ago. Older individuals in the agency are sort of strange to chat to.

"Are my secrets secure at this moment?"

"Yes, for now. Are you aware of your presence in this school?"

When she asks if I tell my identity, I shrug and tell her that no one will know my identity until 'she' finds out.

"Your knowledge of me predates even my disguise. This is a really well-minded analysis."

She snickered. Because of her, I began to laugh as well.

"What's the matter with you?"

"As a result of you, I'm laughing."

"Hahaha…"

During recess, we talk with each other. In school, I made my first friend.
