[TLS#1] Senior
SENIOR 30

THE XI IPA 2. The class that was originally quiet because of the ongoing lesson now broke instantly when a brown-haired girl came back to their class after greeting. Mr. Ahmad—guru of biology who taught in the class— got to the master.

"You're the new student?" ask Mr. Ahmad.

The girl nodded with an awkward smile that was able to make the eyes of XI IPA 2 boys glare. The beauty of the chick is completely natural with brown hair and sea blue eyes which they believe are not lenses. It was evident from his face that looked like a westerner.

"Please come in and introduce yourself."

The girl stepped in and stood in front of the blackboard with both hands fused in front of her gray skirt.

"Good morning. I'm Bianca Kimberly, a transfer student from France."

All the boys were excited by what they had just heard. Unlike the girls XI IPA 2, they show different responses.

Some stare cynically, amazed, and just plain.

Mr. Ahmad nodded and then circulated his gaze to the whole class. "Well, would anyone ask?" yells.

Suddenly the boys raised their hands in a race.

"Why move?"

"What'sapp number?"

"No singles?"

"So my girlfriend, yuk!"

"Entar goes home together, dad!"

Mr. Ahmad rolled his lazy eye hearing all that. Bianca herself could only smile awkwardly.

"You please sit near Meira." Mr. Ahmad looked at Meira who was now smiling widely. "Meira, raise your hand!"

Meira quickly raised her right hand into the air. The new student started walking up to him after thanking Mr. Ahmad.

"Hay, I'm Meira." Meira thrust her hand out after Bianca sat down beside her.

"Bianca," said Bianca smiled faintly by replying to Meira's hand.

"Hay, I'm Bella. Welcome to our class." Bella tilted her body slightly backward with her right hand outstretched. A smile also expands on the girl's lips.

Bianca turned back Bella's hand. Not to forget his smile too. "Bianca."

Bella nodded then turned back to face forward after removing their hands. He moved to nudge Dita's busy arm taking notes.

"Ta," he exclaimed.

"What?" sahut Dita without looking at Bella.

"Lo don't know the new student?" Bella said slowly so that Mr. Ahmad who was busy explaining did not hear his voice.

Dita shrugged her shoulders indifferently. "It doesn't matter. You know yourself."

The twitching on Bella's forehead became the end of their conversation.

"Hello all... Meet me, saye Upin. Nih, saye Ipin's sister." Devan shifted his phone camera to Dimas who immediately frowned in front of the camera.

After that Devan raised his phone camera up high until all the members of The Lion were shown on the Camera.

He and Dimas cried out together. "This is the story of us all!"

They laughed for a moment before Tian got closer to the camera. "Hello, guys. I'm Mail. Yes, Mei-May. Pretty, right?" the guy hugs Nice's head to be seen on camera.

Nah!

"Sekate-kate. Gini's handsome in the same place as Mei-May." Good to slow Tian's head.

Instead of grimacing, Tian instead laughed and demonstrated the typical style of Mei-May. "I like it, I like it" she exclaimed with her hands clapped like Mei-May.

They laughed again until Ezra finally came up with a panicked face.

"Where's the alka, Woy? Where's alka?" The guy who had just come was wailing in search of Alka.

Devan turns off his camera and stares at Ezra.

"Why Nye Alka?" ask Devan.

Ezra scratched his suddenly itchy head. "Urgent, weh. Urgent."

"Please calm down, Spell. Kayak abis in pursuit of Genderuwo aja," said Adnan while continuing his chess game with Arnold.

"What the hell, Nyet. It's really, really bad!" Ezra looked at them one by one. "Gus, where's Alka?" his tan turned to Bagus who sipped a bottle-packed coffee.

"It's not possible yet" he replied without looking at Ezra.

Ezra clucked loudly.

"Lo why the hell, Ja?" Adnan looked at Ezra with question marks.

Ezra breathed fresh air for a moment and joined them. Sitting between Dimas and Devan who were busy editing their video earlier. The two men glared at Ezra.

"Now, yeah. I have hot news for you. Really hot, as hot as his wife Mr. Bambang our school cleaning duty."

"Kayak lambe turah aja you bring gossip is not clear." Ezra sizzles at Arnold who is chattering but is still busy playing chess with Adnan.

"Lambe turah gigi lo bouncy."

"Well, why do you, baby?" Malik approached Ezra and gave her sweet smile.

A deadly smile for Ezra that she showed a grin at Malik.

"So gini, it was fitting me abis from the toilet. I'm afraid there's a new student in skol--"

"BODO VERY MUCH!" Ezra gasped at the screams of his friends. He snickered angrily then patted hard on Dimas' shoulder which happened to be close to him.

"Guard me first, nyet. Not finished talking to me." Ezra looked at them sharply. Everything is just a whimper.

"Continue, continue," exclaimed Good.

"So, yeah. New students, he said moved from France. Nam---cut once again I gibeng lo!" Ezra raised his hand as if he wanted to snap at Devan when the guy seemed to want to interrupt his words again.

Devan then raised his two fingers to form the letter 'V'.

"Continue, continue."

Ezra clucked at Nice. "The girl moved from France. Name's Bianca. Bianca Kimberly."

Quiescent. That was all they did after hearing Ezra's words.

Ezra looked at his friends one by one. "Why are you all diem?" ask Ezra. Surprised by their response.

"What does this have to do with us?" Adnan opened his voice after a long silence.

"Lo don't know who he is?"

Adnan finally nodded. "So you know me" he answered.

Ezra let out a rough breath. "He's Bianca, man. Alka's ex. How, anyway, the ex-men himself forgot."

It took them a few seconds to digest Ezra's words before the shocked faces began to appear on their faces one by one.

"The eyes are blue, right?" tanya Tian made sure. Ezra nodded in response.

"What does Ninggalin Alka mean?" Ezra chuckled in response to Arnold's cynical sentence.

"Do you know that Bianca is here?" Good to finally raise his voice after a long silence.

Ezra shrugged his shoulders not knowing.

"Oh, so you came back to Indonesia because of someone?" Meira turned a glance at Bianca who was walking beside her right.

They—Meira, Bianca, Dita and Bella—walk together towards the parking lot after five minutes ago The home sign bell rang.

Bianca slipped her hair behind her right ear and nodded. "Yes, but not entirely, anyway. There's something else, too, private."

Meira nodded in understanding.

"Lo native French, huh?" the question was from Bella who was standing to the left of Bianca. Beside Bella at the very end there was Dita who seemed uninterested in the topic of conversation.

Bianca looked at Bella. "No, really. My mother is Indonesian, my father is French."

Bella nodded in understanding. "Lo's eye is a bokap derivative?" ask again.

Bianca nodded. He wanted to speak but Meira's screams were heard first. The scream that made his body suddenly stiffen.

"SISTER ALKA!!"

In front there, looks a guy with a jeans jacket looking away from the rules of the school stand on the edge of his motorcycle. His right hand was busy on the phone and his left hand was drowned in a pocket.

Bianca looked at Meira who showed a big smile and ran over to the guy who was still looking down.

"He's who Meira is?" bianca painstakingly asked Bella.

But unfortunately not Bella who answered, but Dita with a thin tone. "It doesn't matter to you who she is to Meira." after that Dita pulls Bella's confused hand towards Meira, followed by Bianca with heavy steps.

"May, we go first, yeah."

Meira nodded at Dita. As the two had left, Meira quickly pulled Bianca's hand to get closer.

"Sir Alka?"

"Hm?" The guy was still busy with his phone regardless of Meira.

"Know, this is her new friend, Mei. Name's Bianca. Bianca Kimberly."

It was also when Alka's finger stopped on top of the phone's screen. He slowly looked up to confirm the questions in his brain after Meira mentioned the name.

Just as Alka's black eyes collided with those blue eyes, Alka stiffened. Saliva feels heavy to swallow. They keep staring at each other before Meira's voice intrudes.

"Copy, Bi. He's Alka's sister, the most handsome senior in Garuda." Meira chuckles at the end of her sentence.

Bianca gasps at Meira's voice which takes her to the real world. He smiled awkwardly then reached out to Alka.

"Bianca," he exclaimed.

Alka budging. He only glanced at Bianca's hand before taking Meira's hand for her to hold.

"Alka," he said flatly. He switched to wearing a sky-blue bogo helmet on Meira who was welcomed by the girl.

Bianca smiled wryly looking at her hand and pulled it back. His eyes never turned away from Alka and Meira.

"Whose helmet is this, brother?" meira asked when without being told Alka to bend put a helmet hook on her.

"Have you," Alka replied in her distinctive flat tone.

"Sister bought it?"

"Hm."

Meira smiled broadly. Staring at the back of Alka who was now turning to ride her iron horse.

"Favor, Brother."

Alka just nodded briefly then put on her fullface helmet.

"Good," he exclaimed after turning the key on his motor.

"I'm first, yeah, Bi." Meira began to climb into the back seat of the Alka motorbike after Bianca nodded silently. He held onto Alka's jeans before the bike drove off the school.

As well as Bianca who could only stare at them in silence.

***

"Please, brother." Meira gives her helmet to Alka after getting off the bike.

"Hold. Nih, make lo," said Alka while returning the blue helmet to Meira.

Meira smiled happily. "Aren't you going to stop by first?"

"No." Alka started the engine.

"Jude, careful. Don't think Meira keeps on, keep on doing nothing." Meira chuckles.

Alka gave a brief nod after her eyes caught a black marcedez car that was quite familiar to her in front of Meira's house. The red-black motor sport began to leave Meira after giving the honking of the sign.

Meira turns her body into the fence of her house which is inexplicably wide open. With an expanding smile she opened her door knob.

Alka changes are quite drastic. The man bought him a helmet, clasped his hand, hooked the helmet hook without asking, and honked before leaving. The things that Alka had never done to Meira before were enough to make the girl happy.

"Why smile?" the heavy voice jolted Meira into the real world. His father is now standing while his chest is staring at him.

Meira widens her smile and goes to Arya. "Tumben cepet home, Pa."

"Why? Don't like Papa coming home?"

Meira hissed and took off her shoes and put them on a shoe rack not far from the door. "Father, Ish! Love so'udzon with his own son."

Arya chuckles and welcomes Meira with an embrace as the girl approaches. "Papa has brought you a private tutor, he's in the living room."

Meira rolled a lazy eye. Following Arya's steps into the middle room.

"Tuh," cried Arya after the two got to the middle room. The man pointed at the person with his chin.

Meira's eyes were round looking at the person she said was her private tutor.

"Bima Brother?!" pekik.
