The Legend Of Ling: An Amazing Journey Will Begin
Chapter 7: It's Time to Be a New Child

The sun rises again from the eastern horizon. Wake up all sleeping creatures. Today, Salsa and I will take the entrance exam to the new school. We start the day as usual, we get up, make the bed, take a shower, then have breakfast as usual. After doing all that, we headed to our new school. Arriving there, looks a magnificent school building empty leaping without a single student or teacher on the move. We were greeted by a female teacher wearing a batik uniform with a long black skirt and a red hijab, “Welcome! You must be the kids who want to sign up! Alright, please come in!” We entered and were escorted to a spacious and quiet classroom. Mom and Dad were escorted to the principal's room for an interview.

“Alright kids, please take out your stationery! The first test today is an IQ test. Spirit!!” said the teacher. He also took out 2 blank papers that were used to write answers. Then he issued 2 thin books containing IQ test questions. “Alright, please work on!” We also did everything according to instructions. We answer every question carefully. It's been 10 minutes. We went on to the next test.

“Good kids, this is an academic test. Happy working!” We also started working on things for the sake of what was there. “Luckily last night had time to learn, otherwise I might not be able to do this, my inner” is in the heart. I saw Brother Salsa answer everything quickly. Well, he's been predicting what's coming out and already knows the answer.

It has been 2 hours, we have completed all the tests including the interview test. “Mu teacher, why does this school seem deserted?” tanyaku plain. “This week, the school is still on semester break and just entered on Monday,” he replied. “Wait first! Dad should have taken us for a walk this week!” I said. “Iya, that's right!” sahut Kak Salsa's. We protested to Dad on the way home. “Yah sorry. You have spent quite a lot of money on airline tickets and apartment down payments,” replied Dad. “Hah, I was expecting this,” said Mother. We also came home disappointed. A few days later, the semester is over. We've been declared a graduate and we've got uniforms and books. We also went to a new school.

I put my bag on Layla's desk, “Why did you put your bag on my desk?” “Sorry, I see no empty place. Anyway, we have to get to the field now, right?” I replied while wearing the red and white hat used for the ceremony. “Yes. Le's go! The field is over there!” answer Layla. I followed him to the field where the ceremony was held. “Quick march!” layla's orders. “Iya-iya. Don't tell me!” my answer. After entering the line, the ceremony began.

Half an hour has passed. The ceremony was finally over. All the students and teachers returned to their classes. “After class, quickly bring your bag moved from my desk!” “Take it easy. If there's an empty place I move. Otherwise, yes I drop my bag, hehehe!” my answer. Arriving in class, all the children were busy playing and chatting. I took my bag and found an empty place. “Hei, Layla. Next to you is empty. Can I sit there?” “Good. I don't think Amalia came in today,” she replied briefly.

Shortly after, the teacher arrived. He was wearing a brown uniform. His radiant face made everyone feel at ease. “All right, I have a little announcement. Starting today, our old friend Amalia is transferring schools because she is following her father's workplace who also moved. From today on, we have new friends. Roy, please introduce yourself!” said the teacher. I stood up and introduced myself, “Hai, I'm Roy. I am from Beijing, China. A few weeks ago, I moved to Indonesia. Everyone, please work together.” “Good Roy, thank you. By the way introduce, Mother's name is Ayu. Greetings, yes!” timpal Bu teacher. My journey in Indonesia has just begun. Today is a new student, another senior student.
