The String of Destiny

The String of Destiny
Class Chair


The bell of the sign had rung, Alexander stepped into the classroom. He saw Tiara being mobbed by the students in the class. Her beauty was like the sunlight radiating through the entire class.


They get acquainted with each other and begin communication in living early life as high school students. Alexander sat in the back of the right corner. A student wearing a typical Sundanese blangkon, looks cool chatting with three friends.


The student was none other than Tamrin, she was sitting right beside him. He picked up a small book in his bag and read it slowly.


"Gathering together is the first step in making friends. Follow the direction of the conversation until it's over."


Alexander stood up from his seat, he walked up to Tamrin chatting with his three friends. They were all talking about a football game last night. He just kept quiet to hear all their talk.


"Cristiano Ricardo is so cool! He can fight 6 opposing players at once!" a student named Dandi.


"Team Star is not a tin can" Tamrin said.


"Only last night's score was 4-3!" his friend wore an upside-down hat called Dawn.


"If there were no famous defender, would have been slaughtered 7-0. Hey, did you watch the ball last night?" ask a classmate named Rudi wearing a white bando.


"Watch on, Chris John, right? He's a defender not a can!" exclaim Alex.


"Ha.ha.ha!" the four of them laughed.


"Chris John is a boxing athlete, not a footballer" Dandi said.


"Well, since when did Chris John become a defender? The one with the opposing player battered hit his fist," continued Rudi.


The past story repeats itself, when he is asked about the unknown. They slowly began to move away from him and threw some questions about the world he did not know.


Thousands of questions made Alexander feel uneasy and he began to dodge. Some of the students began to approach him and then prank him. They say that all they do is joke.


Gradually, the joke turned into bullying. Some of his pocket money is always given to students claiming to be thugs. Every time they fight, they always do evil and nosy.


The memory, made Alexander feel pessimistic and back traumatized when remembering the bullying for nine years. Alexander was very memorized, about the next incident after they knew that he was very little knowledge about football. He could only reply to the three of them with a laugh.


"My husband," muttered Tiara watching Alexander from earlier.


"What's wrong?" ask Wulan.


"My husband, it seems like he is very depressed," Tiara replied whispering so worriedly to Alex.


"In the meantime, let's just leave it. If we interfere, his social relations with classmates even worse. After all, just now in the hallway why were you being cold to him?"


"Finally, I'm still upset about Alex. You know, I was left alone in the city park" replied Tiara.


"Don't do that, I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding."


Some of the students approached Tiara, they invited her to talk while Wulan just kept a quiet eye on her friend. Meanwhile Alexander was speechless, hearing the talk of Tamrin and his three new friends. Among the crowd, he felt the silence so deeply


No one asked him to talk. He felt that he was only a complement to someone's story. In the end, he would continue to spin in the same cycle.


He really wants to live a better life. But in reality, until now good destiny had not been on his side.


"Alex" Tamrin said.


"Yes?"


"Kawasaki W800 Motorcycle, have you?" ask Tamrin.


"Yes, why?"


"Seriously, your bike?!" ask Dawn.


"Yes." Yeah."


"Well, crazy! Two hundred and fifty-one million worth of motors and special editions!" rudi was amazed with Alex's bike.


"But unfortunately, there is no gasoline indicator. Inevitably, it should be checked manually. Weighing only 217 kg, inevitably have to be careful. But the engine capacity is 773 CC (Cubical Centimeter), the shape is also basic not the market like a Motor Ninja in the parking lot," he told the four of them.


Alexander was happy, finally he could follow the conversation he knew and liked. Luckily, last night he had time to read the specifications on his motorbike before going to bed. Incidentally, he was looking for references in making a work of fiction.


He is grateful, can find references directly related to his motorbike. Talk to a classmate, the first time he enjoyed. The trauma he had experienced instantly disappeared.


Then, he glanced towards the yellow-haired girl who was busy conversing with her friends. He saw Wulan glancing at him holding a tarot card.


On the card, there was a man holding a golden sword. In front of the man, there were some tribal men in the interior adoring him. In addition there are three hours and the cross arrow is downhill from the left side.


Wulan smiled at him while nodding her head. After that, she joined the conversation with the students in the class. Not long after, a teacher entered the room.


All the students in the class returned to their seats. Apparently, the teacher was Mr. Dirman had punished Alexander and Tamrin, due to being late to the Opening Ceremony of MOS.


"Good morning, kids."


"Good morning, sir!" reply compact all students in class.


"Before starting learning activities, you want to form a class organizational structure. But before that, I was absent first. As for the one named, please raise your hand and say you are present. Okay, Alex and Tamrin?"


"Yes sir" answered the two of them.


The two of them, became the center of attention when Mr. Dirman called their names both. Alexander felt ashamed, especially seen by the beautiful Blonde Girl Tiara. A pair of purple eyes, her skin as white as snow and her sweet smile made Alex's face flushed red.


He had heard, the sound of laughter from the girl to make Alexander wrong. In order to cover up the embarrassment, he turned away by glancing towards the window right next to him.


Students' names are called one by one. Alexander, got the first turn immediately raised his hand and then connected with other students to Tamrin as the second last sequence number. After his absence, it is now Mr. Dirman's turn to form a class organizational structure.


"All of you, for those who want to become class leaders, please raise your hands. After that, we will hold the most votes," Mr. Dirman told all students in the class.


None of the students in the class volunteered as Class Presidents. Mr. Dirman continues to seduce that one of the students is interested in applying to become the Class Chair.


"Boss, let's apply as chairman" said Tamrin.


"Males."


"Why?" ask Tamrin.


"To be Chairman means to be a class. Males me, mending home, playing and sleeping."


"Father hear that," said the Master since then standing right beside Tamrin.


They were both silent, some of the students in the class were seen laughing at them both. There were also those who were just silent looking at the two of them.


"In that case, you will inevitably appoint one of you to be the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Class. Alexander, I'm appointing you as class president and you're Tamrin as his deputy."


"I'm sorry, I don't agree if I become the Vice-Chairman of the Class."


"Why, Tamrin? Please tell me why."


"In this world, the pair of Adam and Eve was created. Not Adam and Hendra. For the Vice position, you should just appoint students in our class. After all, I cannot afford to be the representative of this class," Tamrin replied giving an excuse to the Master.


"Then, I also did not agree to the position of chairman. The reason is, I was also unable to lead and gain the trust of a classmate" Alexander said.


Mr. Dirman, directly asked the class residents if Alexander was worthy and agreed to be the leader in the class? The entire class answered that they agreed.


"Damn," he murmured in the heart.


"Students, is anyone willing to apply to be a Class Representative? If so, please raise his hand."


Tiara smiled and raised her hand, becoming the center of attention. He glanced at Alex, a pair of purple eyes looking at Alex with full of charm. The fluttering of golden hair as well as the scent of her body made the girl look dazzling.


Alexander's face was red, he turned his face to cover up the embarrassment. However, when she dared to look at him Tiara's face became sullen and upset and then she turned her face back to the front, as if enmity was brewing.
