"He's given it up?" a man with a black shadow on the floor, his face invisible in the darkness of the night, "more interesting than a hundred years ago."
A flash of light split through the cold night sky, fine stubs of rain fell on the inhabitants of the earth, and gusts of wind in changing directions completed the gloom of the night.

Jederr... Jederr...
The weather tonight is really bad.
A girl stood by the window, looking out at the situation outside.
Tok...
I turned to the doorway of my room after hearing a knock there.
"Miss.I came to deliver dinner" said a woman behind the door.
"Please enter! I didn't lock the door" I cried, turning my eyes to the window again. Before long, a trolley voice entered the room.
Gag, tuk, cring...
The sound of eating utensils was placed on the table.
"Please, Miss," suguh the woman.
I walked closer to him. "Thank you, Miss Refisha."
"Together, Miss. As usual, I'll come here again to quote the cutlery after you've finished using it," he said, then exit the room and close the door.
Ms. Refisha is one of the boarders. Each boarder will have the task of taking care of all the needs of two of his handrooms. Incidentally, Ibu Refisha was assigned to take care of rooms 124 and 125, namely Tiara and I.
I was able to be friendly with Tiara as well because our dorm room was next to each other and it was indeed that girl character who was so easy to socialize.
"Today's menu of sweet spicy squid. Hmm... it's really delicious" I muttered, "by the way, what is Tiara doing in her room huh?"

Peugeot, cit...
The chirp of a free-flying little bird, the warm and dazzling sunburn. This morning was so sunny after a night of so bad weather.
Hehehe.. Last night I fell into a deep sleep with my stomach full, I said in my heart.
With light steps, I headed to the main field of Nusa Bangsa Academy. The mandatory ritual that every school has on Monday is also done by the Nusa Bangsa Academy, especially if it is not a ceremony. Girls' uniforms for Monday are a knee-length maroon skirt with a white shirt top and a maroon blazer, as well as a maroon-colored ribbon tie as well.
Today my mood is so good, the hairstyle I choose is a tie half a angel.
Today I will be a sweet girl.
"What's the first time this sweet girl will do huh?" my murmur seemed to think, index finger on the cheek, "i woke up a little late, surely Tiara was already lined up in the front row."
It didn't take long for me to arrive at the field full of students. In Nusa Bangsa Academy consists of three levels, including level 1, senior level 2, and senior level 3. During the ceremony, each level is divided into two rows of women and two rows of men. Position from left to right starting from the lowest level. The comparison of female and male students of level 1 was the same, so if one disciple was not present, it could be clearly seen.
"Luciana Lighter, still hasn't entered the ranks?" the heavy voice of the adult male behind me scattered the daydream.
I turned my head and said, "Eh, morning, Mr. Supervisor."
"Luciana Lighter, how many times have you said, don't call me 'Sir Supervisor' again, we're not in the school entrance test, I'm now your guidance counselor, teacher level 1," yells.
"Ready, Mr. Peng--, I mean Mr. Gubing," I said with a firm body and a respectful hand.
"Luciana Lighter, just call me Master, what is Gubing anyway?" tanyanya while scratching the nape.
I replied, "Gubing stands for Teacher Instructor, I called you so as not to be confused with the tutors of Nusa Bangsa Academy. Can you, sir?" With Fish eye, I started to carry on my role today to be a 'sweet girl'. Hehehe.
"OK, okay. Father allow. Quickly enter the line!" mr. Gubing orders with one hand to massage the forehead and the other to shake as if he was expelling chicks.
"Well, Mr. Gubing..." I stepped lightly with small leaps towards the line that was only left behind.
Slupps...
I stopped with a last step so graceful.
"Eh? Isn't this Princess Luciana Lighter?" Someone poked his head in front of my face, making me turn my face because I could see at a glance who it was.
Then the man pulled back his face. "Am I so invisible that Princess Luciana doesn't see me?"
His words attracted the attention of the few disciples in front of us, especially the gazes of the girls who seemed to want to skin me. A girl's admiration for a man is terrible...
I took a rough breath and exhaled it slowly. Be a sweet girl, be a sweet girl. "Yes? What's up?" ask me to turn my head with a smile and expression as sweet as possible.
The man in front of me gasped and was silent for a moment.
"It's so sweet." he murmured softly.
I can still hear his murmur. As expected, who can shy away from my sweet charm today? my mind then chuckles.
"of course. There will be big things today, who is unhappy?" sahutku.
"Great thing?" he asked while showing a confused expression.
"Yes, big thing," I said, "oh yeah, why are you marching behind?"
With a dazzling smile, he replied, "i knew you were going to be late, not have time for breakfast, so I deliberately lined up behind to be next to each other and if you suddenly passed out, I would..."
"Rey. you, you don't scare me. Your words give me goosebumps," I remember.
"Oh no, it looks like I'm going to faint." I said with closed eyes, one hand on the forehead, and the other side pointed forward.
"Look down Princess, I'll catch you" Rey said acting like a dashing prince.
Duk!
A pair of firm hands caught me who had fallen.
"Let me always be by your side to catch you when you want to fall" he said.
My heart's moved. "Oh... Prince Rey.." I said with a spoiled expression.
"Oh... Princess Luciana." said in a tone that was no less excessive, "I myself will carry you to the clinic..."
I immediately shook my head to shake the delusion. "Hiiii. is so disgusting." I said with both arms hugging myself.
No! Rey flicked my forehead without compassion to the point of making me complain.
"What are you thinking? Of course I'll call the medics to take you to the Aknusbang clinic" he said, then chuckled.
Ah. right too. The medics have a stretcher to lift me up, what am I imagining such a disgusting thing for...
I just replied with a grin while one hand held the nape of the neck.
"TEST... TES.." The instruction from the loudspeaker, in front of which was seen a senior teacher of level 3 as a speaker, "today is the first ceremony of the month, this month, which is also the day of the announcement and delivery of gifts for outstanding and talented students. Unlike before, this time the one who would preside over the ceremony was the headmaster directly."
Instantly from the direction of the crowd of disciples was so rowdy. The whispers began to sound like a flock of bees, making my ears buzz.
With one hand normalizing the buzz in the ear, I asked Rey, "Hey, Rey! What exactly is being confused?"
The man patted his forehead, "Haihhh, right said Tiara, your sensitivity level is very bad. They must be talking about Mr. David Robert, the headmaster who supposedly never known what his form was like. There were only rumors describing it, but until now no one had ever met him."
I nodded my head in understanding. "Oh. Then, why would he want to lead the event in person?"
"I don't know either" Rey said with a shoulder.
"At least just an old man, so horrendous," I said disparagingly.
"You are indeed very adorable" Rey exclaimed as she pinched both of my cheeks mercilessly.
Gently, I took off Rey's pinch, and said meekly, "It hurts so much, let go, Rey."
In my heart, damn this guy, really sucks. Fortunately, now I'm being a 'sweet girl', if I play 'bad girl' now, I will definitely beat her to death, dare to flinch and try me.
"Well, Princess..."
Princess, princess, why is it so disgusting to hear her call me that, so it reminds me of that previously equally disgusting delusion.
"Consider everything. Introduce, I am the principal of the Nusa Bangsa Academy, you must have known my name, "the sound of a loudspeaker with a man as the speaker there, as soon as the students were silent, "the sound of the loudspeakers, so did I who immediately turned my eyes towards the podium, "I will preside over the ceremony today. It is expected that the students can work together to create a conducive atmosphere."
Seeing the principal of the Nusa Bangsa Academy made me mutter, "How is it possible? How handsome..."
"Ehem... didn't anyone say that the headmaster was an old man?" ledek Rey with a displeased look.
"I errat.. where the Nusa Bangsa Academy got the headmaster of a young man who was so handsome and authoritative, charisma and carrier that was so charming.." I said while cupping the two cheeks that felt heated.
My reflexes flinched when suddenly a palm blocked my view. My emotions have peaked wanting to break his neck right now. Patience, Luci.. patience to be a sweet girl, be a sweet girl... Fuck those! After this I will choose the role of a cruel girl to make it easier to avenge this already turbulent...
"Hahahahaha.." my laughter made Rey immediately pull her hand from the front of my face.
"Why are you suddenly laughing evilly like that? My body suddenly went cold." said Rey.
I cupped Rey's right palm with both hands, then put on a smile as sweet as possible. "Oh, not why. I'm just feeling good, we better follow the ceremony solemnly."
"Thank God, then." said Rey, in her heart, either I felt it, or I felt it wanting to kill when Luci laughed.
30 Minutes passed.
Finally arrived at the end of the ceremony, previously it has been announced and handed prizes to some outstanding and talented students this month.
"Those are the outstanding and talented students of this month, please return to their respective ranks. The last is the announcement of the top five genius students with their achievements and talents." said the principal, "In fifth place, Cechillia Anatashia was awarded as a genius student in fifth place, awarded as the mascot of the Nusa Bangsa Academy, it ranked first in artistic, theatrical, dance, and modelling talent.

The 3rd level senior guidance teacher took over after the headmaster finished announcing the top five genius and talented students of Nusa Bangsa Academy and dropped down the podium. "To the five great genius and talented students, please climb the podium and receive an award from the Nusa Bangsa Academy. Congratulations..."
