Bayu I threw far away until it fell on a used chair that filled this warehouse. He grimaced in pain while holding his back. "Take him off!" I threatened to point to Zidan, one of my classmates who is now their boxing ring. His face was battered, and he looked helpless.
Three others began to approach. There was a fight between us. I really don't like to see their attitude in school. Acting recklessly and torturing other students they do not like for trivial reasons.
One raw punch on the neck of my upperclassman, making him sound up and fall to the floor.4 people were finally helpless again, even to get up they had trouble. I approached Zidan and helped him stand up. "You can walk, right? I can't possibly carry you down!" I said.
"It could be, Bill. Thanks, yes." I helped Zidan walk, because his right leg was injured. We went downstairs and immediately I took her to the school garden which was behind the empty classroom, which had been unused for a long time. This part of the school, is indeed in a state of improvement.
"I bought you a drink first, same looking for medicine. Wait here."
It's only 11 in the afternoon. And I, who was supposed to be in class, was involved outside. Actually I accidentally saw Zidan being dragged by them to the second floor warehouse earlier. I wanted to go to the toilet to wash my face. Since an hour ago I was very sleepy, because last night I slept late due to watching a movie. But apparently I saw something interesting instead of having to sit in class and hear the boring ramblings of Ms. Herlina.
Zidan is not a bad boy or often do the act, instead he is a good boy. He's even one of the smartest students in my class. His stupid appearance is indeed very fitting to be an easy target of insults people. Well, the type of school geeky child deserves it. But he's actually a good kid.
"Nih, drink first," I said as I held out a bottle of cold mineral water I had bought in the cafeteria.
"Thanks, Bill. How are you not in class?" He sipped the mineral water impatiently.
"Yes. You alone, what is the same problem with them? Why are you beaten up by gini?" I asked while pointing at his chaotic face.
"Because I was yesterday to take Clara home" said Zidan, gluing the bottle to the corner of his lips.
"Clara Bayu's girlfriend?"
And Zidan's nod made me shake my head. Now I know the reason she became Bayu's moons and her friends. Bayu is one of the gangsters in the school that is quite feared by some people. They are our upperclassmen.
Our discussion came to a halt, as I heard a cry for help that sounded quite close from where we were sitting. "Denger, right?" I asked Zidan while continuing to sharpen my hearing. He also heard the scream.
"Yes, it's like in the hall, Bil. Cheque, yuk?" bring him.
We immediately ran towards the hall located in the middle of the school. The school seems lonely, because almost everyone is in their classrooms. Arriving at the hall, we clearly saw a man in a black suit strangling a student. "God! Release him!" my screams. The man turned his head without removing his hand from the student's neck. I don't know who they are. What is clear is that the man who strangled her was not a schoolboy. And the child who was strangled was one of our seniors. He grimaced and displayed his pointy teeth.
"Damn it!" peekik Zidan quietly. "How about this, Bill."
"You're looking for help."
"But, Bill ..."
"Now!" I said half-screaming and turned to her, really. Zidan nodded then immediately left the hall.
The man threw the student unconscious. He then walked towards me slowly. I know he's not human, and he's not the first freak I've seen in my entire life. But I can't yet deduce what kind of creature is in front of me right now. If he was a vampire, that would be impossible, because vampires wouldn't show up at noon.
I kept retreating while looking for a way to fight it. Until I finally found something terrible. A body that is still wrapped in school uniform, looks not intact anymore. Some parts of his body were gone. It seems like he has become a creature in front of me. He glanced at the human body I was looking at.
"You're interrupting my lunch, so you're gonna catch up with your friend!" he said with difficulty speaking, perhaps because his teeth were messy and sharp perhaps.
"Curtain, don't dream!" I said. My net was fixed on a long spear commonly used for throwing javelins. As he ran towards me, I immediately grabbed the thing. And stuck the tip in his stomach. He screams in pain. His voice seemed to be stifled but I could see that he was in pain. Hugely.
His hand stuck to my neck. He choked me pretty tight. His sharp nails felt piercing my neck skin. Back I tried to find another thing I could use to attack him. My hand kept trying to move, and a dagger I managed to grab. I stabbed his right eye. He screamed again and finally my neck got away from him. But my arm got scratched, pretty deep. Soon I held the wound, as it was hot and painful. Blood is flowing. Even dirtying my white shirt. I groaned, because it felt really painful. Looking at this horrible creature. He was still in pain while holding his eyes. This opportunity I will not miss. I swore a silver knife that I kept in the thigh. I touched his heart then and there. He dies.
The sound of footsteps came closer to the hall. I'm sure Zidan has brought help. My body went limp, and when they entered, they were shocked to see that horrible man already lying on the floor covered in blood. His body shrunk to thin once. His fingers look more and more terrible with sharp nails.
"When!" zidan's screams came straight at me. "Are you okay?" he panicked to see me with blood on some part of my body.
"I'm okay." I opened the arm that was injured, and now it's closed. The pain disappeared too. Zidan saw me weird, and turned to the creature in front of us. Some people started to walk around the hall and found another victim who was being eaten by the creature.
"Bill? You what's he?" ask Zidan again.
"Not intentionally, Dan. Just defending myself. You're late, thankfully I'm still alive" I said pretending to be upset.
"Sorry, Bill."
Now the hall room was filled with several teachers and upperclassmen. They are mostly from taekwondo school children. The clothes they were wearing were still complete, and I also knew some of them. Even Brother Rayi has been staring at me ever since. I sensed that he wanted to get close to me, but his friends called him to help the unconscious victim.
This incident is quite shocking. Because the body found was the child of the principal who truant when there is a lesson hour. Instead, he met a cannibal creature that came out of nowhere. Shortly after the police arrived, Zidan and I were also questioned as witnesses. Some people also look at me strangely.
I was still in UKS school. Mr. Feri, as my homeroom teacher, told me to rest first in the UKS. Maybe he thinks I'm shaken by what happened earlier. Zidan whose face was battered they thought it was because he had fought the creature, so at least he was safe from Mr. Feri's questions. No one wants to be summoned to the BP room due to a fight case. Because it is not a good idea while still a student at this school. Enter BP 3 times, then you will soon be kicked out of school. And I got 1 ticket. The case was closed with the alleged existence of an insane person who adheres to black magic, so he was possessed by demons and ate humans. Well, quite rational. But this news did not spread, for the sake of the peace of all school residents.

My decision to follow the taekwondo extra-curricular has always been opposed by Papa. She desperately wanted a sweet, kind, polite daughter, and was good at playing the piano, violin, cello or harp. Well, at least I stick to the piano extracurricular on Monday, and taekwondo extracurriculars on Friday. And, Papa only knew that I was following the piano extra-curricular.
"Bil, it has been picked up," said Kak Rayi who still wears Dobok. I who was cleaning the bag in the locker room just turned my head while nodding. Rayi's sister walked towards her locker, picked up a bag and a change of clothes. In this place all the lockers of children who take part in the exercise are merged into one, both women and men. All are equal except the toilet. Stay separated between women and men.
*Dobok is a special taekwondo outfit
"Eum, Nabila."
"Why, Brother?" I asked while looking at him.
"Thank you for that."
"So? Which one?"
"Rules. Faza is safe because of you and Zidan" he said, clarifying his sentence.
"Oh. That's. Equally, Brother. We happened to pass by, and it was not too late. Zidan helped a lot."
"Well, still, thank you, Bil," he said, looking deeply at me. I nodded with a thin smile. I put all the stuff in the bag. I have to leave immediately, otherwise the person waiting for me out there, will get angry and drag me home. Especially if he knows I'm in this room.
"I go first, Brother Rayi," said my.
Rayi's sister, who was closing the locker, turned her head. "Okay, take care, Bill. I'll see you at school tomorrow."
The hallway of the school corridor looked deserted. Some of the students who were still attending additional activities until the afternoon were seen starting to go home, just like me. The school will close soon after evening.
Black SUV parked on the side of the road, I immediately recognized. The windshield automatically drops down. Inside was a thin-floated man with black glasses crammed against his nose. He glanced at me who was walking around to the side door of the wheel.
"Why has it been so long?" ask me a stale base. Closing the door at once using seltbelt.
"Yes. How late are you coming home, Bil?"
"There were a lot of new kids, Pa. Following wave 1. So we repeated it from the beginning. More and more members, so long," I explained.
"How do you progress?"
"Lumayan. It's still basically, Pa."
Papa started to car, and left the school yard. Well, he's my papa. People who take me to school every day. People who are always angry if I come home late. The one who always taught me hard. People who always argue with me if I have to decide something. Because me and Papa have different beliefs more often. Like now, I follow taekwondo, and of course he doesn't allow it. Then I have to secretly register myself, without Papa knowing. And this afternoon my dad picked me up after piano practice, and I was taekwondo.
"Ingett. You're a daughter, Bil. Don't follow anything weird."
"What weird? Pa, that taekwondo isn't something weird, is it? Try, Papa shadowin if for example papa does not exist, there are still people who are evil to me. I how? I have to take care of myself, right, Pa?!"
"No! Anyway, no! And if you don't already exist, Papa still has a lot of people to take care of you, and there is Om Gio who will take care of you later!"
"What the hell is that talking? What does Papa mean, nothing?!"
"And you first said, if Papa doesn't exist, how? yeah, right?"
"I don't mean no one ... Argha! Whah! Huh, ah!" I turned my face to the side window. Seeing the heavy street traffic every afternoon has become common to me. He argued with Papa like this, like my daily meal. The sound of heavy breathing was clearly heard in the ears.
"Nr ... Papa didn't mean it, just ...."
I immediately grabbed the headset and stuffed it in the ear. Tune music with a loud volume. This is the end of our discussion. Never found a common ground. And it will end with my frustration, even often I break down to talk to papa.
We reached the courtyard of the house, Mr. Dio opened the gate. He's a papa driver, but in recent months Papa has been driving on his own. And it makes me uncomfortable, because I'm getting stuck. Everywhere should be with Papa. I'm really very restrained. Sucks.
I slammed the car door and walked quickly into the house. Bi Wati greeted me, but I ignored her and immediately ran upstairs. To my room. I just dropped the bag on the floor. Throwing the body on the bed. The ceiling of the room was one of the places that had always been my escape when upset with Papa.
Room door knocked. I cluck, I just want to be alone right now. It must be Bi Wati who was behind the door to persuade me to eat.
"I'm not a laper, Bi," I screamed.
"Bil, open up dong first. This is Om Gio. Though Om has been waiting for it, uh even you enter that room."
I was a little tempted to open the door. The last time I met Om Gio was 3 months ago. But I'm sure that Om Gio was told by Papa to talk me out. "I'm tired, Om."
"Relatedly? Take you to one of your favorite places tonight. Om Gio sure you like it. "
I was silent, thinking and still guessing.
"Sure, don't you want to watch this WWF? Tonight there's a game. And Om has two tickets. If you don't want to ...." My door opened slowly, and Om Gio's face looked fresher in front of me. He smiled as he showed the two tickets in his hand. "Come?" tanyakanya.
I nodded excitedly. He smiled and I hugged him. "But ... Papa?" ask me who is aware of other problems later.
"Just calm. Your papa's going to London tonight. So come here, take care of you. Don't run away, he said." Om Gio stared as he pinched my nose.
______________
At 20:00 I was still at the study table. A task from Mr. Galih makes me have to quickly work on it before midnight. Because I'm going with Om Gio at midnight. This is the moment I have been waiting for so long.
"Bil ...," Call Papa behind the door. I was silent, but my heart was beating faster. "Papa go first. There's business. Maybe a week there. You're at home with Om Gio. Don't be naughty, Okay?"
"..."
"Nr ... Papa's sorry." The sound of footsteps left from the front of the room, making me breathe a sigh of relief now. I'm finally free, and I need to finish my job right now.
The clock has been ticking 12 times. It means it's midnight, and now I'm wearing a thick jacket with my favorite sneakers. Om Gio was already waiting for me in the middle room and we were about to go watch that game.
"Where is your school?" ask Om Gio while focusing on holding his wheel. The road is still crowded, many vehicles pass by, the difference is there is no road that is jammed if it is this night. And, it was still afternoon for most of the people in the capital. Like our.
"It's normal, Om. Still as usual, follow the piano exkul as Papa and taekwondo desire secretly. Uh, there was an incident at the school," I cried enthusiastically.
"Yes? What's?"
I told him everything I've been through, every detail I didn't escape telling Om Gio. He listened enthusiastically and I really liked his response. Not like Papa.
"What's? A wendigo?! It's crazy!" his screeches. With sparkling eyes.
"Yes, Om. I thought it was a vampire, but there's no way vampire dong is out in the afternoon. And eat ... man."
Om Gio nodded while thinking. "You learned a lot, Bill. But you're not hurt, are you?" Om Gio stared at my body intensely.
"No, Om. I forgot I was a mutant? Who can't get hurt?"
He laughed off. The word 'mutant' is indeed often used when I am upset with my own body. Because I'm weird. No matter how bad I get, I won't die. Even the wound will heal on its own.
I was in a car accident with Mr. Dio. Mr. Dio even had to be treated in the ICU for 1 week because our car was hit by a large truck and squashed by a roadblock. But when the ambulance came, I was fine. The wounds on my body disappeared in a matter of minutes.
We started to enter the bridge. In this area it has started to fall. My feelings are uncomfortable, even though Om Gio keeps raving about his experiences when he was young. Suddenly something fell on top of our car. Gio and I looked at each other.
"What's up, Om?"
The voice was like someone walking on top. "Bil, handle!"
