Chapter 45
"Of all, greetings know Melya, born as a normal child but growing up as an 'abnormal child'. I'm gifted at seeing ghosts. Hello to you."
I'd be crazy to say that at an introductory event. I don't know what their reaction was like. But seeing the way my friends see me, I know what's on their minds.
It's just a small town. There are only a few schools here. My Junior High School years will not be much different because most of my Junior High School friends are my SD friends as well.
This is the time of orientation for the new child. We were all gathered in the school field to be given guidance by the 2nd grade elder brother. They asked us to introduce ourselves one by one.
When I advanced suddenly all was quiet.
"My name is Melya, 12 years old." As I sat back down, I heard them whispering behind me.
"He's the kid you told me about?"
"Yes. That one. He said he was a liar. That's why I don't have any friends."
"Don't he see ghosts?"
I can only breathe out the tightness in my chest from their talk. This time I will be alone without friends.
"Please collect the chocolates you brought."
Lothawat! Yesterday the seniors gave us instructions on what to bring today. And I forgot to buy it again because of the chocolate I bought Angga yesterday! How'this?
"Brains!" Angga called me from the sidelines. "Take this!" He threw a chocolate bar at me. My reflexes caught it.
"Auntie Vina asked me to bring it for you. He said the chocolate was left in your room" he told me again. Then just leave without caring about the views of everyone who is fixed on me.
"Thank you," I said quietly while holding in shame. I know that Angga is famous in his school. That's why I don't want the kids to know about our relationship. I want to go through my school days in peace. Suddenly the children swarmed me.
"Well, tampannnya! Who her? Is he your acquaintance?"
"He's my cousin's brother."
"Lucky! Does he live with you."
"No. It's just that he's been to my house a lot."
"Can we play at your house?"
"Can ya? Introduce us to your brother."
I don't know what to say to break up this crowd. And just a few minutes ago they were shaking my ugliness in the back. But now it immediately turned into such a close-knit act. It turns out that humans can change 180 degrees in just a matter of minutes.
Yesterday, Angga said he had plans to help me make friends. I've been suspicious of his plans since the beginning must have gone wrong . Sure enough he pranked me like this.
"Enough! Don't noise! Back to the line!"
All return to the line according to the instructions of sister Mia, she's the famous jutek and fierce upperclassman. No one dared to argue with him.
He walked up to me. Does he want to scold me?
He hugged me and whispered, "Let's take a break to the cafeteria with you?" She smiles.
I know clearly his purpose and purpose. I can only reply with a stiff smile.
During the break I managed to escape from the Angga fans for various reasons.
From the field I saw Angga standing on the 2nd floor balcony. He waved his hand at me with a smile. I rushed to catch him.
"Sister! Really-did!" exclamation kesel.
"Why angry?" tanyakanya.
"I don't know how hard it is to escape from them!"
Angga laughed. "It's good that you have a lot of friends?"
"That's not his name, but a bully!" rebut me, while throwing a packet of brown bread at him.
"What's this?" tanyanya caught the brown bread.
"That's the chocolate change this morning" I explained.
"Well, thank you my beautiful sister" he said, munching on the bread.
He looked at me wondering. "Help? Help you find a friend?"
"Not that one!"
"Keep what?"
"Help me persuade mama to let me camp the day after tomorrow."
"Ah, right too. After MOS you usually stay outside right for the closing event. You want to go to the show?"
"really. I'm tired of being cooped up in this town. I want to get out. I want to take a walk."
"Have you talked to Auntie?"
"It has. But mama immediately forbade me without giving me a chance to talk."
Since the accident, my mother has been very strict in looking after me. He forbade me from going on any tour. Including a 6th grade farewell.
"If Angga's brother were to speak, mama might listen."
I don't know why my mother trusted Angga more. He even asked Angga to watch over me.
"The way of his camp on the mountain. In such a place there will be more you can 'see'. Are you sure you want to come?"
Duh! Don't tell me he's also preventing me from leaving.
"I knew. I'll be careful not to draw their attention."
"I'm worried too. The only people who participated in the event were 1st grade children and some 2nd grade children only. I'm not coming. So if there's anything I can do to help."
'Well, I'm starting to feel its protective properties. I think I was wrong to ask him for help. He is not much different from my mother.' I murmured in my heart.
"Sister, I promise I'll take good care of myself there, I'll remember everything you taught me. So please just help me get permission from my mom, yeah!" i beg.
Angga breathed a sign of surrender. "OK, but you have to promise to take good care of yourself there."
"Yes, I promise."
The next day, she said she would let me go. I don't know how Angga convinced my mother, but I'm glad Angga managed to persuade my mother.
She also helped me prepare everything I needed to leave. On the day of my mother and Angga's departure, they took me.
Angga introduced me to his friend who was at the camp.
"This is my best friend, bam. If there's a problem we can tell him."
I nodded in understanding. My mother hugged me while crying.
"You have to promise, take good care of yourself there, and go home healthy."
"Yes, ma."
After saying goodbye, I got on the bus. Two first-year students approached me.
"Are you Melya?" ask one of them.
"Yes?"
"My name is Dina and this is Lisa. Can we sit with you?"
"Could only. But why?" Much
"We heard you were very brave. Ghosts do not like brave people. That's why we'll be safe with you" Lisa replied innocently.
Waitaminute! If they're afraid of ghosts, they should stay away from me. Because I'm the one most targeted by those creatures! They got the wrong guy!
I wanted to drive them away, but when I saw them sitting next to me I was happy to hesitate.
Huh! let it go first! later when the group division also we will be separated. So I don't have to take care of them.
Damn, I was in a group with both of them. Plus we have a tent. I hope the show times won't happen.
Baby, my hope is in vain.
