THE NIGHTMARE'S
2. NO LIFE

Today is Monday, a day that is often hated by some students for various reasons. But this Monday was more interesting than usual. There are feelings of nervousness, pleasure, fear, even laziness, all mixed up in several schools, including at Cahaya Bangsa High School. This is because Monday is the first day for all tenth graders in the new school year 2018/2019, who will undergo MOS/MPLS.

Right after the opening ceremony was completed, all students entered their respective classes. For new students, they can prepare before facing MOS/MPLS, and get the opportunity to get to know their new friends first.

In class X IPA-1 was so, the atmosphere of interaction between students who previously did not know each other occurred, of course in various ways, various greetings and replies, different, it affects the difference in feelings felt by each individual. There was one boy in the class who was quite crowded surrounded by other boys. The reason, the boy in the seat that is located in the third row ahead of it has a slightly unusual appearance when compared to the people of Indonesia who mostly have the characteristics of brown sliced eyes, brown, until dark and black chocolate. No wonder, Azure which has a bright blue iris will easily be the center of attention.

"Eh, what's your name?"

"Lu bule, huh?"

"The two Indonesians are real," Azure replied coldly.

"Oh, kirain bule, because your skin is so white, anyway."

"Yes, where your irises are blue too, like westerners."

Azure simply rolled his eyeballs lazily while remaining chin-backed, until one of the boys asked him to shift in order to sit on his desk, and make a horde with his friends who were sitting somewhere else. They began to get acquainted and cool chatting together, so less attention around them.

This cave is human, but why often meet humans who make caves sick of the same name of man?

Azure is often fed up with humans and thinks it's a little abnormal because after all he's a human. However, he was not the only human who was fed up with humans. There are and even many other humans who also feel the same way.

I think the cave will be bullied again here. Every time you enter a new school, there will be a new bully. Where this time the cave class again the same Bagas, surely it will not be much different from the years in Junior High, the inner one boy who sat in the back seat, would not be much different, some distance away from the horde of students who were acquainted with each other with his new friend. He placed his head on the table with both hands, seemingly devoid of spirit.

"Eh, why are you alone?"

"Which one?"

"That's, that's in the corner!"

"Rome?" Bagas glanced at his classmates during Junior High. "Let's go, that was it before."

"Kok, you know what?"

"He's the same class as SMP's cave."

"Oh, that. Son no life him?"

"Yes, the smell of onions, anyway."

"Huh? A wibu?"

"Love 2D creatures?" The other students asked in a mocking tone.

"Mobile picture enthusiast!"

The hordes of boys who had the most members were laughing loosely.

Less your asem, Gas! Do you want to make no friends in High School?! Not satisfied you bully cave fitting SMP?!

The boy named Rega who prefers solitude tries to hold back his emotions, even though he has to listen to Bagas and his new friends talking and mocking him openly. Their laughter made his chest really feel hot. He wanted to throw punches at them one by one, but he knew that he would lose if he had to fight with them all.

"Can't be a wibu? Was bad? Or is there a ban?"

The question made the crisp laughter of the horde of boys stop instantly. The one who asked was one of those who had not laughed in the first place. Bagas who sat on the table, then looked towards Azure who was sitting on the chair right next to him. It seemed like Azure was unhappy with the attitude of Bagas and his friends who were laughing at Rega.

"Well? You mean what's that, Az?"

"Any parents, is it wrong to be a wibu?"

He means what's that like?

"Lu want to buy that Rega, Az?"

"Not really. Gua told you that the cave is just his, what's wrong with being a wibu?"

"Clearly wrong, dong. They prefer the same things smell Japanese rather than something that is typical Indonesian. That's not the name of the love of the homeland, is it?"

"Tau where are you? Can you read people's minds or hearts?"

"No, but it's clear that the wibu has an average lack of nationalism."

"In this world not everything is clear, especially if you look at it from a point that highlights the majority. People who seem to have a high attitude of nationalism can be traitors to the state, while those who are considered too crazy as a foreign culture, even sometimes more attention to the condition of the country. So, why judge him?"

"Yes, my cave is wrong, bye. Won't judge him haphazardly anymore." Bagas was less than happy to have to give up, but he also did not want to argue any longer with his new friend who was quite popular. He did not want to lose the opportunity to use it to gain political power also in High School. "Rather than talking about him, discuss something else, how?" 

"Agreed!" answer all the boys present in the horde, again except Azure. They began to talk back to the topic that had changed.

Shouldn't have hoped that the child will be buying a cave, let alone become a friend of the cave. Popular guy like he might not want to win the same cave that is no life so much.

═══《❈》═══

When the break arrived, all the sellers in the cafeteria had been waiting for the arrival of the students faithfully and of course had provided a variety of foods and drinks that were favored by them. The students also seemed to have missed the seller of their respective subscriptions, more precisely missed the food and drinks sold by them because they were hungry. While most of the students scattered to the cafeteria, in class X IPA-1 only one student remained, namely Rega.

"It was so easy to the canteen. Mending cave watching anime," muttered Rega while stretching his hands and shoulders stiff.

Rega opened the backpack and took out a molded android phone from the land of ginseng whose screen is approximately 6.5 inches, not to forget also a white earphone whose cable is somewhat tangled. Opening the gallery, the anime video that he had downloaded earlier was immediately plastered onto the screen. Immediately he put the earphones in his ear and connected them to the phone

"It's 'Nanatsu No Taizai'!" rega exclaimed slowly while smiling widely. He touched the play icon and quickly drifted in his favorite anime storyline.

When Rega was busy watching, a student seemed to step foot into the classroom, then took a little swipe while fixing his shot towards the target. Casually, he tossed a packet of sandwiches with sausages, chili sauce, and cheese sauce right over Rega's head.

"Anj–!" Rega almost cursed out loud. Before looking at who hit him, he looked down first, where the object that hit his head earlier fell. Finding a sandwich that cost about 15 thousand rupiah, he frowned, then picked it up. "Bread? Who hit the cave with bread?!"

"The cave!"

Rega clearly recognized the blue-sliced student who was now leaning against the wall near the door. "Lu? You mean, what do you mean, a cave head with bread, huh?!"

"Rather than a rock cave, mending use that, right?" Azure ranted a slanted smile that looked sweet.

Rega did not reply, but directly threw back the bread towards the Azure. The one who was pelted caught him quietly and frowned, astonished that the bread he had given had been returned to him.

"Do you want to eat bread?"

Azure was ignored, as Rega returned to focus on staring at the screen of his phone. He let out a long sigh, though somewhat lazy to step, still he went forward and placed the bread earlier on Rega's table.

"No life also needs energy, you know. Mending you eat tuh bread, consider it as an introductory greeting from the cave. Sorry, if you don't like the way the cave of love was bread. The impression is not polite, but according to the cave, politeness among friends is not too important, because it often makes condolences."

Rega looked up after Azure finished saying it, but the boy who had just finished talking had already turned around and stepped away. Undeniably, deep in his heart, Rega felt happy that someone had invited him to talk and considered him a friend. He touched the bread that was still wrapped neatly and noticed its slightly messy filling, then looked back at the Azure back that was almost at the doorstep.

"Waiy! What was your name?"

Feeling called, Azure automatically turned its head. It was seen that he was biting his newly opened bread as he stepped out of Rega's seat. He chewed on the bread first and swallowed it, only to reply, "The Azure Cave. If you need a friend, find a cave!"

Not yet Rega had the chance to say anything more, Azure was about to pass.

"Azure? Sky blue?" Rega paused for a moment before realizing something was missing. "Ah, the cave hasn't been able to say thanks to him."
