The Unusual Highschool Days
Traumatizing

Alexander Gildereich immediately hugged his son warmly as soon as Eric entered the office space.

“It's big you son, papa rarely see you. Know you already want to enter SMA course” said Alex gave up longing for his only son.

“Papa must be busy, this city looks very different from five years ago” replied Eric.

“So how, have you been around school?” ask Alex.

“But pa, finished the test immediately find food and leave here. But Eri saw the school yard from the exam place on the third floor. The place is quite spacious it turns” Eric commented.

“Lain times, you have to travel around so you can see other facilities. Oh yes, papa wants to know you with Mr.Arthur, the principal at Santana high school.”

The man in question immediately got up from the sofa and approached Eric.

“My name is Arthur, I heard. You will start school in Santana high school this semester”, he said while shaking Eric's hand.

“Ah, not necessarily sir. Her exam results have not come out” Eric low.

“There are many things I need to explain about Santana high school because there are some special things that make Santana high school different from the school in his public” Mr.Arthur opened the conversation.

“Come sit here, explanation will be long” Alex told his son to sit next to him, and Eric obeyed him.

“First of all, you probably already know that this school student is not an ordinary child in general. There are many children with unique backgrounds. There are sons of officials, sons of politicians, recipients of scholarships, even sons of criminals and mobsters. But, when entering the school environment… all backgrounds are considered non-existent and all students are placed in grades S to E according to their rank in entrance exams and special exams held every three months”

Eric nodded in understanding.

“Curriculum for each class from S-class to E-class is different. S-class students usually pursue learning targets faster than other classes, therefore their learning hours are shorter and denser. the rest of their time in school is allocated to other extracurricular activities that support their talents. The same thing also underwent adjustments in his other class” Mr.Arthur explained.

“According to papa, because the learning ability of each child is different..This curriculum is good enough to be implemented.” Alex commented.

“In addition to different learning systems, other differences that distinguish this school from the school in general are. This is to prevent prolonged conflicts involving the positions and powers of the parents of the disciples. The slightly isolated island state also supports this, most of the bellkarta residents are students who migrate from outside the island. There are several student organizations that specifically deal with this. But there is one message I have for you.” Mr.Arthur took a break for a while. “be careful with the Journalism club, especially the core members. And if you can, don't want to deal with El diablo. Only really troubled students sent to sana”

***

The rest of Mr.Arthur's explanation, more or less detailed about the learning system, and the class division system that resembles caste. There is also a difference between one class and another class. Of all the talks, the most interesting thing is the warning to be careful with the members of The Core and El Diablo. Why, should he avoid those two clubs?

So far, Eric has not been able to ascertain whether his status as a child of the owner of the Saint corporation will be known to many people or not. It would be better if it is not revealed, because he does not really like to bear the status as “anak who has a school.” That stigma will make a lot of eyes on her. And people will begin to have expectations of themselves.

“Oh come on, there is no way a child who has a school fails to enter the school has his own father”

Eric suddenly remembered the words of the boy who was followed by the ghost earlier. How did he know that Eric was the son of Alexander Gildereich? And what's he doing in this office? In addition, what eskul is newly established today and why is he certain to become a member of the eskul?

Eric took a long breath.

Just yesterday he came back from America, imagining how much fun it would be if he could live a normal high school life. But even today, he had already met people who were friends with ghosts, invitations to nameless clubs, and direct warnings from the principal.

***

A week has passed since the Santana Senior high school entrance test. Yesterday he had received a letter stating that he passed the entrance test, and was eligible to be placed in the S-class. Elvira also received the same notice. That means, for the next semester his second will be in the same class.

Many people crowded in front of the notice board, making Eric curious about something that was loaded there. When he started docking to the crowd, some people started staring at him with strange gazes.

“PUTRA OWNER SAINT CORP DEFEATED BY ORDINARY GIRL”

Kira think that's the headline of the school bulletin posted there, along with the ranking of the entrance test results that were never published before. Elvira is ranked number one, while Eric is just below her.

“Lo want news on take down, or want to protest with journalistic club?” asked Alfian who had turned out to be among the crowd.

“No problem same news kok” said eric indifferently, before leaving the crowd towards the classroom. He did not seem to care much about the contents of the Bulletin posted that morning.

But actually, along the way to class, various thoughts raged in Eric's mind. Actually it is not the news headline that makes it disturbed. But the fact that Elvira can beat him and be in the top position. The reality that disturbs the insecurity in Eric. What if his parents' goal of adopting the child was to keep watch if Eric couldn't live up to their expectations anymore? It was just baseless prejudice. But still, such thoughts can interfere with her.

In the classroom Elvira who was sitting sweetly on her bench looked surprised when Eric entered the class. He got up as soon as Eric passed his bench.

“Eric... lo have seen the notice board?” asked Elvira nervously.

“Udah” answer eric briefly. The mood seems to be in a bad state. He immediately put his bag on one of the empty benches. And sit there.

“Lo angry?” asked Elvira doubtfully. The girl approached Eric while keeping her distance as usual. “sorry..

“Elvira..” Eric langung clasped Elvira's hand covered with gloves tightly, making the girl gasp. His face paled, Eric could feel the girl trembling slightly. The last time he held Elvira's hand was five years ago, before he left for America. At that time, Elvira did not show this kind of reaction. I don't know what changed him.

People who were interested in the scene started to notice Eric and Elvira. All eyes are now on both. Some may speculate that this is a romantic scene or something.

“Eric, can you please release my hand?” Elvira was half begging.

But Eric didn't make that request. He felt threatened, knowing that Elvira had the same ability as him in academia. So, to get rid of that insecurity, he will use his ability, to find out Elvira's weakness. In order for the time being if needed, the girl remained under his control.

“Can see me for a moment?” eric's gaze turned cold. He looked at Elvira with an intense gaze, and slowly began to enter the girl's memory room.

Sheet by sheet

Eric looked at the palm with a scar. Elvira sliced her own hand with a flat face. The girl made a pinky promise with someone to kill herself together.

“Stop!”

A little girl with multiple bruises all over her body was crying for help, a boy who beat her with a phone handle. Women in their mid-thirties who looked panic, the atmosphere of the house was quiet and cold.

“Stop!”

Eric knew he had to stop. But in there, behind those mysterious eyes, there are still many secrets. The weakness of an Elvira is the most fatal. The incident that started all this. In those distant and near-forgotten buried memories, Eric sees the corpse of a woman hanging in the middle of the room, and little Elvira looks at him blankly. The eyes of the dead.

PLAKKK!!!

A loud slap landed on Eric's right cheek, a drop of tear falling on the corner of his face.

“LO OUTRAGEOUS!! I SAID STOP!” Elvira screamed before finally running while making sure.

Suddenly Eric felt all over his body hurt, and his head felt heavy. There was a true, profound sadness that enveloped her. It was as if all the pain in Elvira's memory belonged to her. People just huddled around watching the incident, until Alfian pulled on Eric's arm to leave the crowd.

“Follow me” he said as he dragged Eric towards somewhere.

***

Eric's body trembled violently, unable to control the fear that gripped him at this moment. He was beaten, hated, and banished. All those eyes full of disdain were haunting his mind, he had completely lost the ability to think clearly at this moment.

“Eric, can you hear me?” Alfian patted Eric's shoulder. But the young man did not give any response.A young man with cross earrings entered the room, he immediately approached Eric who was still trembling.

“What is this?” ask Alfian.

“Overwritten, memory she mixed the same memory Elvira pak” Alfian explained her circumstances.

“OK, Eric Gildereich... Can you hear me?” the young man touched Eric's forehead.

“Now... sleep!”.

And everything went dark.

***

“Eric Gildereich” eric replied.

“What do you see?”

The image of a man appeared before him. The man beat Eric, Eric can really feel his pain.

“I... beaten..” said Eric staggered.

"That's not your memory, you're the son of a conglomerate who guarded a 24-hour body guard. No one dared to beat you”

At that instant, the scene that eric witnessed changed, he only saw the unknown man beating up a little girl, and the little girl was Elvira.

“Now, what do you see?”

On top of a tall building, Eric saw two boys. The first boy resembles Alfian, and the other resembles a ghost following Alfian. The three of them made a little promise to die together.

“I, promise... will commit suicide together. Alfian and... that person” again Eric said terbatap terbalat.

“That's not your memory.you spent five years in America, and during that time.

In that instant, the scene that Eric witnessed changed. He only sees Elvira there, making a pinkie promise with Alfian and the silver-haired ghost.

“Now, what do you see?”

Now, in an empty room, Eric saw his mother hanging herself.

“Mama... die..”.

“That's not your memory, you just met your mother this morning”

Again the scene changed. All he saw was little Elvira, staring blankly at the figure of her mother hanging and stiffened.

“Now, what do you see?”

This time Eric was hiding in a closet, he could see out through a crack in the closet door. A group of people dressed in black and armed hunted into the room, shooting at a man in a white suit who always accompanied him. A warm man, a man so eric knows. One bullet escaped Eric's shoulder, the pain was really felt.

“I got shot... on the right shoulder”.

“Oke, that one does belong to you”

***

Eric woke up, he immediately sat down and felt his head spinning. He blinked his eyes trying to get rid of the spinning sensation from his head.

“Lo has realized it turns out..” said Alfian who had earlier accompanied Eric in the room.

Eric looked around. The room looked like a red office space with various antic ornaments on its walls. Not far from the sofa where he was lying, he could see Alfian sitting at the desk leisurely while reading a book.

“This... where?” eric asked as he held onto his head which was still aching.

“Office with Nathanael. You were immediately brought here after the incident” Eric got off the table and is now sitting in the corner of the sofa where Eric was lying earlier.

“Lo remember the incident earlier?” ask her.

Eric was silent for a moment. He remembers everything clearly. He breaks into Elvira's memory room, peeling off the girl's past.Why, Elvira can tell that she is reading her past?

“Why would Elvira know if I read her past again?” Eric was astonished.

“Because of him..can read your mind. He is esper, just like lo and I” Alfian replied as briefly as possible. “lo may need a more detailed explanation, about the memories you see. But, I will not answer before you officially join the club Esperia.”

Eric massaged his forehead slowly, trying to digest his current situation. So, Elvira can read minds

is that why the girl told her to stop? Because he can see the past that he tried to forget by reading his thoughts when Eric began to enter into the memory room Elvira.

“Lo knows, it took years of counseling sessions so that he could forget the events that you just noticed in his memory. And you make him want again about it all..”.

“Where is Elvira now?” Eric cut out Alfian's word.

“Go home... Where else”.

Eric immediately got up from the sofa and was about to leave the room when Alfian suddenly restrained Eric's hand, preventing the young man from leaving.

“Where are you going?” asked Alfian in a serious tone.

“To place Elvira” replied Eric firmly.

“You what? Apologizing? Nyamperin he now Just going to add problems. we will not be able to entertain or help him a little bit.” Alfian explained. Eric looked astonished by Alfian's hanging explanation.

“Oh, don't tell me you don't know.. If Elvira has Androphobia?” disorder

***

The number of male employees has drastically reduced since the arrival of Elvira in her home, the reason why Elvira always keeps her distance whenever talking to the opposite sex. Also the gloves he always wore, all of his missed already. So, from the beginning, her parents already knew the state of Elvira. Why doesn't Eric know?

Eric came out of Nathanael's room at two in the afternoon. He didn't think he would faint for that long. Eric went straight to the classroom and picked up his bag. Another student had gone through the Orientation period of the first day. Walk around the school, see the facilities. Eric can do it next time, which is important he wants to see Elvira right now.

The apartment where Elvira lives is not far from the school. It was only about five hundred meters away. The construction of the apartment is not yet finished. Almost all of the rooms in the area have not been occupied. Postal only

the guards are inhabited. Naturally, considering this apartment complex will only be filled one year later, for students who come from outside the area.

After learning the location of the room Elvira occupied from the guard, Eric immediately walked up the stairs to the seventh floor, where the girl lived. There are no elevators, only stairs. Shortly after, he arrived on the seventh floor.

Eric could barely feel the air of human existence, until he passed through a room where there was a sound of sobbing women. That sound sounds like Elvira. Eric knocked on the door of the room.

“Elvira?” he said as he knocked on the door slowly. No answer. “el, what lo inside?” ask Eric.

“GO!” the girl shouted from inside.

“El, I swear.. I don't mean to scratch your old wounds or anything. I didn't know you could..”

PRAAANGGG!!!

There was the sound of something slamming into the door and breaking. Glass flakes slipped out through a crack in the door. Eric's whereabouts really aren't welcome here. Eric stopped knocking on the door in front of him.

Not once twice did Eric sneak into someone's recesses. Looking for the information he needs, finding out the weaknesses of others.he has been doing his for years since he knew how to use his abilities. This time he was caught off guard.

Eric leaned his head against Elvira's bedroom door. Wishing the girl would open the door for him, so he could apologize. Feelings of suspicion, danger, a desire to exploit the weaknesses of others for their own sake. The dark side he wants to close. If I'm honest, Eric hates his side

something like this. He doesn't want anyone to know about his dark side, including Elvira.

***

The color of the twilight sky had turned blue when the sound of cars was heard entering the apartment courtyard. Regina Gildereich was on the seventh floor, approaching her son who was sitting while hugging his knees in front of one of the rooms with a blank look.

“Eric” the woman called. The person in question immediately turned his head. “follow mama, there is someone who wants mama to talk to you.
