Ayrisa And Her Story
Ayrisa¹⁰ - Tournament

A week has passed since that day. Nefra actually picked Ayrisa up at the Carsion family home. Though the girl had deliberately made her return and the mother was late. However, when he got home, his bag was already filled with books and uniforms. His brother was also faithfully waiting for him. Elio—the man could only accompany Nefra in the living room to wait while Arfa—sang papa— was in his private workspace to continue the work.

Fortunately there were no drag-pull scenes like Nefra said on the phone. By showing a smile full of meaning, Ayrisa was no longer able to wiggle and complied to go home.

Ah, that brother really is!

Now, it's entering August. And every four years, both schools under the same foundation, the Gyandisa Foundation, will hold a Friendship Tournament. There will be many races held for two full weeks, most of which are sports-related. Ayrisa School, Agnandisa High School, which this time hosted. Therefore, since last week the members of OSIS have been busy to prepare it.

Who would have thought, it turns out Gana and her friends come from a school that is in a foundation with the school of Ayrisa, Gisnandi High School. During this time Ayrisa did not pay too much attention to the uniforms used by them so she only found out this morning. So Mia and Gana came together.

If usually the state of the school is still quiet at this hour, now even the opposite is because many students from Gisnandi High School who come early. Whether it is participating in the races or just to watch.

Ayrisa herself had been silent in the classroom because she felt a little uncomfortable being among the many people. Mia who has now become her friend—not just a classmate—pun is not there because accompanying Gana breakfast in the school cafeteria at the request of the man. Several times Melia also returned to the class, she wanted to invite Ayrisa to be with her and her friends from other classes, but Ayrisa rejected her subtly.

While playing her phone, Ayrisa occasionally looked outside the classroom. Many students pass by, whether they wear the same uniform as themselves or different ones.

While reading from her cell phone, a female student entered the class. He approached Ayrisa who was sitting peacefully on her stool.

"Ayrisa," call the female student.

Ayrisa raised her gaze. He knew the female student, her name was Zia from the XI class of MIPA 5.

"What's up, huh?" tanyakanya.

"Gue only wants to be here if you're called Mr. Frans" Zia replied.

"Oh, okay. Thanks yeah. Mr. Frans is in the teacher's room, right?" Zia replied with a nod, then she immediately left first.

Ayrisa sighed softly before getting up from her seat and walking out of the classroom. Once outside, a crowded atmosphere immediately greeted him. Ayrisa stepped quickly towards the teacher's room.

Many foreign faces were encountered in the school corridor. On the other side of the pitch, members of OSIS were taking care of the stage before the official event of the opening of the friendly tournament.

While on a trip Ayrisa accidentally met with Aspen. He was a little confused to see Aspen who was alone, not with his friends as usual.

"Sir Aspen's another nyari, huh?" Ayris took the initiative to ask first. Not getting an answer, he continued. "They're in the cafeteria again" he said, "but I don't know in the side or back cafeteria."

"Where are you going?" Aspen asked back.

All right, Aspen is a little different. More precisely in the way the man spoke. Hey, with her sister alone Aspen doesn't talk like that. This was the first time, perhaps, to hear Aspen speak like that.

"It's going to the teacher's room, it was called the homeroom."

"Oh, can I go with you there?"

Ayrisa slightly gasped in surprise at what the man before her was throwing.

"Umm, I can." He answers. After all, it was better than walking alone among so many people. Moreover, there were also other school students who were foreign to him.

Finally Aspen followed the girl's steps. During the journey there was only silence between them until they reached the teacher's room. When entering the quiet teacher room, there were only a few teachers, including Mr. Frans. Aspen waited outside as Ayrisa walked in and approached her homeroom teacher.

It turns out that there are other students there, Rischa from XI MIPA 1 class. Ayrisa. They are friends, though not in the same way as Reylin.

"Oh, Ayrisa, you've come." Frans invited Ayrisa to sit next to Rischa before continuing to speak. "Father wants you to take part in the English speech race on Thursday."

"You still have two days, three days with today. You can use it to practice. And Ayrisa, don't get used to feeling so insecure. It can hurt you. So, there's nothing to discuss anymore, you want the two of you to come along."

Finally Ayrisa nodded slowly, unable to resist anymore.

When out, Rischa pamit went first to return to his friends. Ayrisa herself approached Aspen who was waiting for her. Then they immediately moved from there.

"What's the matter with your homeroom teacher, if I may know?" Aspen asked, but kept his politeness.

"Oh, I was asked to participate in an English speech competition."

"Do you want me to help you with the preparations?" aspen Tawal.

"Aren't you getting any nicotine?"

"Not at all." Aspen answered steadily. Ayrisa still looked at him with a slightly incredulous look— hesitated to accept the offer. "Yes, I'm sorry, you watch me play basketball next Tuesday. How's it?"

"Lho's? Can class 12 still compete? Here the 12th grade is just watching, the same one OSIS members take care of the show."

"In Gisnandi High School it can still be, right, still semester one. So, you want to watch, right?"

Ayrisa immediately nodded in agreement. He is the type who cannot accept without giving a reply. If he could not reply back then, he would continue to remember it and reply next time.

Finally they arrived at Ayrisa class, XI Language A. Inside there were only three male students who were busy playing the game together. It was a game that was recently famous.

Sitting on his stool, then followed by Aspen who pulled the empty bench in the second row. Aspen placed him in front to face Ayrisa.

Fortunately Ayrisa still carries her book and pencil case despite her school in activities like this. He took it out and put it on the table.

"So, what's the theme for the speech?" ask Aspen.

"There are two, same environment of global warming. Which one does Aspen think is easier?"

"Take the environment," replied Aspen after a moment of silence to think.

They both began to note the important points that would later be added to the content of the speech. Their fingers are busy surfing on the phone screen to look for supporting materials, after which discussing them together before taking notes.

Without them noticing, Mia, Gana and the others looked over from the doorway.

"How to pedekate a different person pinter, yes. I'm what, the capital looks of a favorite sexy motorbike must have lost to Aspen," said Alnan in a slow tone. Kion and Oska nodded in agreement.

On the other hand Viran pointed his phone camera at Ayrisa and Aspen. In his heart he cheered happily because soon he could get extra pocket money from his business with Gala.

Tired of looking from afar, finally Mia who first stepped into the classroom. Gana who always follows her boyfriend comes in. The remaining three men also entered in riotously, making Aspen and Ayrisa turn to them.

"Ay," Mia called out, "is it not okay to keep learning?"

Understanding the implicit intent of Mia's question, Ayrisa replied. "I'm not studying, just preparing for Thursday's speech race."

Mia rounded her lips while nodding in understanding. Then he sat himself on his stool, followed by Gana and the others who pulled seats to join.
