Time's Up
Prologues

My name is Aldi, Aldiarama Fernando. One of the human species that runs a life like humans in general. Family is everything to me and my friends are the other family I have. Life has taught me many things, but unfortunately there is little I understand. My birth this time gave me a face I was always proud of, although my thinking level was not as high as the level of my face.

My life is like a game that never loses to me. Every step brings me closer to victory. Although not many understand what victory means in life. For me being the most prominent is one of victory. And being the one that not even an ant would dare to bite a piece of my life is another victory.

In life there are always friends who will always be present in whatever your condition. In my life, they were Doni, Erga, and Ciko. We've been friends since the blue white age into mandatory uniforms on Mondays and tuesday. But people around think something else. They see us more as a gang with me as their chairman. I don't know why they think that.

We are currently in the same school after making it out of the blue white uniform. And with a few sheets of numbered paper, we managed to become classmates. At first, the days at the new school were heavy. But blending in has become my habit, so it's not a big thing for me. And in a few months, we're leaving school.

"Al, after this to the canteen yuk," asked Erga to hold her hunger from this morning because no one was present when she woke up until the moment she was about to leave.

"You're the food continues," added Ciko meledek.

"Diem deh, your mother cooked this morning, the mother of the cave did not know where," answered Erga provoked the laughter of people around her. Even Santi laughed at his words.

"You can't be in them? I didn't hear what she said, "Santi said after she finally stopped laughing.

"Aldi, don't be noisy!"

"Sorry ma'am" I replied slightly lowered my head. "Why do I pray that I get it?" I whispered, A new laugh between us. But this time we really tried to hold him back.

20 Minutes passed and the hour-rest bell rang. We'll go to the cafeteria immediately. As usual, during the trip we determined what food we would order today. Erga and Doni are in charge of ordering food, Ciko and I are in charge of finding the best spot in the cafeteria to be a 15-minute hangout. The condition of the cafeteria was always crowded, therefore Erga ran a little so as not to queue for too long. Doni followed him from behind, whereas me and Ciko could relax a bit more. Some of the tables were empty when we got there. Any spot is suitable for the four of us.

When Ciko and I arrived at the cafeteria, some of the tables still looked completely empty. We chose a place where a lot of wind could visit. Before long, Erga and Doni came up with four bowls of instant noodles and iced tea. School children's standard food. Erga who had been starving, immediately ate his food greedily.

"Slow-slow, bro. Later choking, dead, we're the ones who bother," led by Ciko never peace to see Erga alive.

15 Minutes after all the recess drama was over, the school bell again rang and we went back to class. As always, there are no subjects that are not boring. Even Erga started to get sleepy because of her stomach which was finally full.

The white-gray period has always been the most beautiful time for me. Maybe for everyone too. But our life in the white-gray area felt very short. Even so, everyone is always impatient with college, including me. And many of us thought the story in the drama was about to happen in our lives. And let's see how fun it is.
