The Time of White Ash 3

"Pbu....!" That soft voice roused me from my hallucinations.

"Yes Jo???" My answer was immediately downcast in shame while busy tidying up the book I put to sleep on both my thighs.

"Father...." Johan replied chuckling at my behavior.

We also smiled wryly. He then looked back at the school yard.

"You haven't been to Jo's office? You see, the Headmaster is already there" I said to Johan while pointing to the Office on the right of my classroom, right in front of the school gate.

"Yes, just a little more Ra. Wait for the bell for the new sound" replied Johan Knot.

"Goddess!!!" Suddenly I cried out to see the wailing Levi in front of the gate, while standing from my seat.

Then Levi waved his hand after hearing my voice and then walked towards where I and Johan were.

"Ra. You are not alone anymore. I am not waiting for the bell. I went to Ra's office" Johan suddenly stood up with a smile.

"Oiya Jo. Thanks for being my friend" I replied as I turned to Johan.

"Okay..later home from school SMS I yes Ra" Johan whispered in a position very close to me.

Deg.....

"Jo Iiiiya...." My response was a little surprised because Johan's position was too close.

Johan replied to me with a smile and then passed from where we were, towards the Headmaster's Office.

"Grea. That's Johan, right? How can he be with you?" Levi asked suspiciously who was now in front of me.

"Oh....Yes Lew, he had no friends so come here" I answered looking for an excuse.

"Ohhh....The others haven't come yet? Though this was already at 07.18 loh, just wanted a bell again" asked Levi while looking at his watch.

"Yes, Lew hasn't come yet because it's cloudy" I replied, then sat back down.

"Fearing the cloudy Gre. Ntar on the road squatting again from the gate" Levi sat beside me.

"Now Lew, another moment came. Niya and Karina are rarely late. Septi and Sharon are the ones I'm not sure about" I said.

"Tuh.tuh Lew. Lookie! isn't that what I said? Tuh Niya and Karina have come" I said as I pointed towards the gate.

Levi confirmed my words and then we stood waving our hands towards the arrival of Niya and Karina.

Now we have sat four of us in class while checking each other's PR and tidying the table before the bell rang.

Cringe cring

The bell rings as a sign the class is about to begin. We who have attended, then scattered to the front of their respective classes. Line up while waiting for the teacher who will teach at that time.

And sure enough, while we were marching in front of the class, we turned our heads towards the gate. There we saw already lined up a group of late students who would be ready to walk squatting while crossing both hands to reach each other's ears. And in that line there must have been our friends Septi and Sharon.

"Tell them both again" said Niya who almost whispered but with eyes that only slanted to the left because the Physics teacher was in front of us.

Today many students are late due to the cloudy weather. And so there were many of our Principal's pet sheep that he would herd around the school ten times.

And those of us who have lined up, students per student will enter the classroom by greeting the teacher who stands in front of the class. Because it is still the turn of other friends me and Niya who stand in front of the front suddenly have to turn their eyes.

"Gre.see Johan looking at us" Niya said as she poked at my waist.

"Where?" I asked to look back.

"That, at the Headmaster's window" Niya pointed towards the Office.

"Oh yeah...." I said to look at the Principal's window and there Johan was smiling.

"Ciye...." Whisper Niya instantly while holding my left and right waist

What happened to Niya? Is there anything he knows about Grea and Johan?

Wait for the continuation 😆

~Your smile is like immunity for me to start my day. Would I be selfish if I kept expecting it?~
