High School Bridal Romance
A rival?
Not feeling the time of one month has passed, life in white gray as if it feels like walking in place for Mira. Especially when he was in the third grade, making Mira have to study harder because his goal is to study abroad. As a smart student, Mira is always getting the highest marks for daily test scores.
Mama Marsha and Papa Abraham are proud that Mira is so cognitively intelligent. When children his age like to walk to the Mall or the approach stage for dating, but Mira actually spends a lot of time at home and of course to learn. Just like today, Mira who actually chose to be at home to study when Mama and her Papa invited Mira to one place.
"Mira, come with Mama and Papa first. We're invited to Mama Sara's house. They want to have dinner together maybe Elkan has come home from Singapore," Mama Marsha asked Mira.
"Ma, Mira is at home only Ma .. Apologize Mira to Mama Sara and Papa Belva. You have a math exam tomorrow, Ma. Mira needs to learn," he replied.
Mama Marsha smiled and looked at her daughter, "Wouldn't I?" ask Mama Sara later.
"Other times must also come, Ma ... now it's third grade, Ma," said Mira again.
"OK deh, okay .. Mama later told Mama Sara and Papa Belva. Uh, how was Elkan at school? You're a class, right?" ask Mama Sara later.
"Yes, one class Ma .. yes pinter, Ma ... El is a pinter. So Mira is encouraged to be able to survive to be the best in the classroom even in school."
Yes, it seems that there is an ambition that Mira has to remain the best in the classroom and school. Because, indeed Mira is a Parallel champion since the 10th class, so even though Elkan is smart, it seems Mira actually considers Elkan as her rival. Not wanting to be out of Elkan.
"It doesn't have to be a champion, Mira .. You graduated with good grades, Mama's already cool," he replied.
However, Mira just shook her head, "Mira wants to be the best, Ma .. besides that finished this semester Mira will take the A Level Exam yes, Ma," he said.
A Level or often called Level A is an internationally recognized qualification and is required for entry into some university courses and opportunities for professional training. Students usually study A-levels around the age of 17 or 18. The subjects to be studied at this A level are Mathematics, Languages, Science, Social Sciences, and Arts. There is even an A Level Test which is an internationally recognized standardization test as a requirement for college admission abroad.
Hearing Mira's wish, Mama Marsha nodded her head, "Okay, well Mira ... Mom and Dad always support you. Pursue your goals as high as possible" Mama Marsha replied.

The next day ....
The Math exam, which will be conducted in the first hour, feels better for Mira. Because he felt his brain was still fresh. Even Mira prepares her stationery as well so that there are no mistakes and technical glitches due to improper stationery.
Mira stared at each given problem in the form of Linear Inequality, Liner Equation System, and Straight Line Equation. Mira is very confident that she will be able to solve everything well.
While beside him Elkan also seemed to be working quietly. In times of all rowdy and trying to get an answer from my countryman, or who sits in front of his stool, or from another bench. Mira and Elkan actually look both calm and focused with the matter in front of him.
"Come, everything is done alone," said Mr. Pambudi who is a Mathematics teacher reminded students to be able to do it alone.
"Difficult sir," cried Sonya who at that time did not feel able to work.
Then Mr. Pambudi also smiled there, "If you pay attention during the time you teach all this time, you can. That's Mira and Elkan just seems so good. Definitely those who will get the best value later," he said.
However, both Elkan and Mira chose to calm down and focus on what he had to do. Then Mr. Pambudi called Mira's name, "I think you're starting to get a rival, Mira. Seeing a serious Elkan and no difficulties, he could be the one who ranked one later," said Mr. Pambudi.
Mira chose to smile at a glance and nodded her head. Yes, maybe not Mr. Pambudi, other teachers will think that Mira and Elkan are rivals because their values are slightly adrift and also both look equally intelligent in the classroom.
However, deep in his heart Mira wants to compete healthily with Elkan. He knew very well, Elkan had been so smart since he was a child. However, he felt that he could compensate Elkan. Now, Mira is encouraged to be able to study harder and remain the best in school.
