NEETS
Chapter 2: True Friends

I don't think I'm in Junior High now. I wish I could make friends at my new school.

indeed, when I was in Elementary school I was away from children my age. they were hesitant because maybe I was the son of a rich man. so they did not want to get along with me.

yesterday as my graduation gift in SD with a fairly high value I was rewarded by my father a portable console game that was viral at that time.his name was Portable Slicetation.

because of the console I started to be interested in games and what I like most is the RPG genre because I used to love stories and adventures.

the games I like are quite a lot like Fun and Fantasy, Phoenix quest, Dinosour Hunter, Hearts Kingdom and many more. but what makes me fall in love with the RPG genre is the Fun and Fantasy game because of its unique story, thrilling adventure, classifying and exciting gameplay.

back in my junior high school days, here I managed to enter one of my favorite Junior High School in my area. and get into a pretty good class. and they accepted me happily, chatting everyday together and playing together.

but it did not last long. exactly half a year passed bad news befell my family.my father's company went bankrupt which made all my family's assets confiscated by the bank. and then my dad ran away somewhere leaving me and my mom alone.

because of that, I had to leave my house and move to a rented house that was not too expensive, even though it was only plywood walled and the wood was better than no shelter.

because the incident somehow one by one my friends began to stay away from me. they seemed not to want to get close to me anymore. well, the news about my parents' bankruptcy spread quickly. one by one they started to get away from me, but the thing I hated the most was when they talked weirdly behind my back..

"hey. it's Arya's son broke. don't get close to him ntar ketekilangan broke too."

"well.he is no longer a rich person nih. nih. no exclamation no one our jajanin"

yes, those are the words that I hear almost every day. Therefore I became a loner for half a year. I spent more time playing my SSP.

I did not feel I had entered the 2nd grade of Junior High, and because of my achievements I managed to enter the superior class. I struggled to enter the superior class to be free from tuition payments. because if you can get into a superior class is the same as getting a scholarship.one of them is released from the monthly tuition of the school for 1 year.

still like before I still have not got friends.yes, I think like that. but after I noticed it turns out there is one person whose fate is the same as mine.a tall man with a rather slender stature. sitting in the back right corner alone with no one to chat with, but even more terrifyingly he gave off an aura of hostility that signaled a signal not to approach me.

at first I didn't care about him but when I heard the words of his countrymen they said like this.

"hey.. You're not afraid of your teammates.not that he's a troubled student?.Why did he get into our class of superior children?"

"yes, I'm so afraid he has an air like he doesn't want to be approached."

because of that I became a bigie.

when the break came he never went out of class. let alone to the cafeteria. all I know is that he only stayed in class. most if he ate he only brought provisions. after eating his provisions, he just kept quiet in class, and when he came home he just went home.

after knowing his habit I took the opportunity to approach him during the break.well, all I know is his name is Khoi.

I started to approach him and sat on the bench in front of him. "hey your name is Khoi right? meet me Arya"

"yes, greetings" replied Khoi coldly.

I kept questioning him and he only answered with "yes" and "yes". but I didn't give up. Every break I kept asking him to chat and chat. but at least for now only he will listen to my grievances.

until one day I followed him home.he came home on a bike just like me. when I followed him through a fairly quiet street people.and there were only a bunch of teenagers sitting hanging out there.

the teenager immediately confronted Khoi. They were seen asking for something from Khoi. I got off the bike and slowly searched for a hiding place. coincidentally there is a tree that is quite large and can cover my existence.

I vaguely heard khoi say "don't pick up the kid from my school again or I'll act"

the teenagers laughed and started pushing Khoi. Khoi immediately fell and fell on the ground.

seeing that I immediately took my cellphone. old-fashioned mobile phone that is still sailing monochrome because at that time the smartphone has not been sebooming now.I also called the authorities.

"hello, are you calling the police, how can we help you?" the answer from the phone

with whispers I said. "please sir, my friend is being molested by a group of teenagers. precisely on X sir's street"

"okay, our personnel are on the slide."

I called shortly to see the teenagers want to take Khoi's money. But Khoi fights and fights ensue, because Khoi is outnumbered and he is beaten by the teenagers.

I couldn't bear to see it. I paddled my bike hard and crashed it into one of the teenagers.

the teenager immediately fell to the ground and one of the teenagers wanted to hit me but Khoi stopped the blow.

"fool, what are you doing here" angered Khoi.

"i just want to help you because you're my best friend" I replied.

Khoi just fell silent and hit back at the teenager.

not long after the police came with the sound of sirens.the teenagers who beat us immediately ran scattered, but one of the teenagers there was panic and pulled out a knife. he ran to stab me but Khoi beat him with his hand which made him get a knife.

after stabbing Khoi he immediately ran.so did the police follow him from behind.

Khoi endured the bleeding on his hands while enduring the pain as well.one of the policemen came up to us.

"are you okay, son?" ask the police.

"sir please my friend sir!! his hand was pierced by a knife." I yelled at the police.

the police then took Khoi and me to a nearby hospital before Khoi's bleeding worsened and at the same time asked for testimony from both of us as victims.

after that incident Khoi and I became close friends and their allegations about him so far in the stamp of a problem child turned out to be wrong. he was often seen battered and so on but in fact it was for the good of all of us one Junior High School so as not to be disturbed again by people from other schools. and actually he is a pretty smart kid as well.and honestly.he never cheated every exam at all. unlike other students who are smart can enter the superior class but they even cheat and use fraudulent ways to get good grades on the exam.

but most importantly after that incident people started to approach Khoi and he also started chatting with other people, but I like it from him. he never disputed my status that was once the son of a rich man so a mediocre child can even be said to be lacking.

I'm happy to be able to dispel people's misunderstandings about her so that she can make a lot of friends, and I'm also happy to finally get a true friend who accepts me for who I am.

it did not feel that the graduation day of Junior High had arrived.I fought hard to get a scholarship to get into one of my favorite SMKs in my area.I fought Matian to die in order to get the best for my future. and reduced my mother's burden as well.

my dream was achieved I managed to get into SMK my goal with a major in mechanics. I was very happy with this announcement. but when I wanted to show it to my mother.

yes, my mother died at that time.he worked too hard to send me to school and pay for the remnants of my father's debt that is still piling up.

to relieve my living expenses.the company that owed my father.released his debt and considered it paid off.

because I was also a minor, I could not live alone, and finally I was entrusted to my mother's sister's family, only they only met my eating needs. for the needs of school and others I only rely on my mother's savings are little and also while working part-time and also odd jobs.

the first day I entered SMK. I still left using my bike. although others had used the motorcycle at that time.but only this bike is what I have now.

just when it got to the front of the school gate someone was waiting for me.

"Yo buddy." said the guy

"morning is also boss Khoi" I replied listlessly

yes it was Khoi my best friend from Junior High he managed to get into the same school as me and it just so happened that we were in the same class.

after I approached him Khoi immediately grabbed my shoulders.we walked together into the school.

a month passed and Khoi was still faithfully waiting for me every morning in front of the school.

"hey. Arya it's been a month come on a little spirit. Don't keep moody like that."

"yes this is how I am now boss Khoi. I don't know why either."

yes, ever since my mother died I have lost my expression.My face looks cold and my eyes look sad, but Khoi always encourages me every day so that I can return to normal again.

as usual I was with Khoi entered the school together, but this time suddenly a woman attended me. a woman with long straight hair up to the waist with a fairly beautiful face. she looked timid and directly extended a flower towards me with both hands while slightly bowing.

"A, A.. Arya, I've been watching you all this time because I like you. Would you like to be my girlfriend?" ask the woman.

"HAAA???...."

instantly I, Khoi and the swaying grass that was in my school were immediately shocked and also wondered.What is this? why is a woman as beautiful as herself suddenly expressing love to me that is not too tamvan this?
