Stuck With My First Love

Stuck With My First Love
Coincidence Or Just a Fool?


The Olympic race has finished, he is the 1st champion along with Dedi. So they will represent the city towards the provincial level race. The awarding of medals and trophies 1 champion is held during the flag ceremony. In front of all eyes, I saw that her bright face had returned. I'm relieved too.


I think he's angry because he's dizzy preparing for the race. I thought if the race was over then everything would come back as it was. Actuallyno. We never even spoke again. Many thought we had broken up. And it makes me even sadder. Our relationship is falling apart like this.


I still often record the lessons he left behind, but I give notes through Dedi. We are now like two years ago, like when we first entered this school. He's with his world, and I'm with mine. Although I kept trying to clear up the issue between us, but he chose to stay away from me. I could only give up and accept his attitude towards me.


He was busy with the preparations for his provincial race and I was busy with my bazaar preparations. It was as if we had found our new partner. He's with Feli and I'm with Aldi. Even many rumors circulated in the school about our respective closeness. Rumor that he's dating Feli. And I'm dating Aldi.


When we passed each other, we were already with each other's partners. I often see Feli playing to my class looking for him. Or when passing in the IPA lab where the race preparation, I see Feli always sitting next to him.


At first I was very jealous to see their closeness, but over time the sense of it gradually decreases as the lack of attention to me. Sometimes I still daydream, longing for the good times of last XI class. I missed walking alone with him through the basketball court to the cafeteria. Or when walking alone to the school library during empty hours.


But somehow, I always felt that Feli was after Coco. Maybe because women feel more sensitive then I can see Feli is always trying to get close to Coco. And for whatever reason, Coco always let Feli be around.


Once, Coco was opening a locker in front of the class, and Feli was beside her standing behind me. They are talking. Aldi and I had just finished a meeting, walking up the stairs to my class.


She's staring. I also looked at him. We looked at each other.


Whether intentionally or not, when he got near the locker, Feli suddenly nudged me. Made me almost fall from the floor of my classroom which was 1 meter high from the ground.


Luckily, Aldi was holding me so I didn't fall. Coco was also willing to pull me. I saw him extend his hand to help me. He lost quickly to Aldi.


“Kak Vivi ga papa?”


“Iya.I'm fine. Thanks to you”, I'm on Aldi


“Sorry brother, I didn't see you going through. I was gonna straighten my loose shoelaces. Sorry kak”ucap Feli


“Iya.ga papa.”


Feli reasoned that he did not see me and wanted to tidy his shoelaces which he said were dislodged. I, who had begun to be lazy to doubt, finally forgave him.

His son is also very active in school activities. PMR, OSIS and Scouts. I see this kid as a combination of Arsy and Coco. But the difference is he's not a playboy like Arsy. Aldi is also a family man. Very dear to his family. I know that, because I once accidentally visited his house.


At that time, our bazaar committee was planning to survey the location of the donation bazar submission. Me, Aldi and some of the bazaar organizers split up looking for an orphanage that we felt was worthy of our compensation. Coincidentally at that time, Aldi and I were in the survey together.


After school, Aldi and I agreed to go together to the orphanage. That day, because I was in a hurry I didn't have time to tidy my hair. I just tied some of my hair up. We went on an Aldi bike.


Though we did not make an agreement, but strangely the outfit of both of us at that time could be a twin. Like twins. I wear a white short t-shirt with a soft grey cardigan and a subordinate pair of white toad jeans and white shoes. While Aldi wears a white T-shirt combined with a dark gray jacket with subordinates cream color cloth pants and white shoes. At first glance, we are like twins.


I was shocked when I got out of the house, and he looked over from the top of his bike. Can it be the same as the outfit? Bizarrely..


Before splitting up looking for an orphanage, we had previously gathered at school. And when they met with other committee friends, they compactly teased us.


“Cieeee..yang couple-an..Kak Vivi same Aldi promise yes? Couple-an so dress”goda Lea my underclassman who is also the bazaar committee.


“Yes yes”sahut Irham


“Eh.ga make an appointment.this is just a coincidence”my answer is to defend myself


“What coincidence?”sisil Goda


“The soul mate was mah”goda Bryan


Perhaps because he was uncomfortable with their temptation, Aldi immediately switched the conversation.


“Already yes..keburu afternoon.we leave the survey only now”ucap Aldi.


“Iya deh”reply friends almost simultaneously.
