The morning sun shone into Maureen's room, waking the girl from her deep sleep. Maureen slowly opened her eyes. The sound of a knock on the door seemed to force her consciousness back more quickly than she wanted.
Last night, Maureen was quite difficult to sleep because the day that was quite special for her life was about to come her way. The day Maureen finally returned to school.
After a long conversation with Heri and Aldy, Maureen finally decided to go to the same school as Aldy, namely SMAS Caius Ballad, even if she had to repeat the first grade.
"Reen?" called Aldy, who had just finished taking a shower and was already in his school uniform.
Aldy always wakes up early, precisely when he hears the Fajr call to prayer from the mosque around his house. The routine that he has been doing is jogging around the area of his house complex.
"Hmmm~... " Maureen mumbled, still lying on her super comfortable bed, and turned around.
Aldy opened the door to Maureen's room, which was never locked. Aldy saw Maureen still lying on her stomach and buried her face in the pillow.
Aldy approached Maureen and gently stroked the head of his beloved sister. "Wake up. You don't want to be late on your first day of school, do you?"
"Give me ten more minutes, please," Maureen whined, not opening her eyes yet.
Aldy pulled the blanket that wrapped Maureen's body, but Maureen pulled the blanket back as a form of resistance.
Even so, Aldy has never failed to force Maureen to leave her bed all this time. Aldy finally attacked Maureen's weak point without hesitation. He started to tickle her waist, which made Maureen squirm.
"Aldy, stop it!" Maureen struggled, trying to hold back the attacks that Aldy gave her.
"You still won't wake up?"
"Okay, okay! I'll get up now! Stop it!" Maureen shouted, chuckling. She could never stand it if Aldy tickled her body.
Maureen and Aldy looked at each other, with Aldy's body right on top of her. Their faces were at the same level, but Maureen stuck her tongue out in a mocking accent.
"Wleeeek!~" he mocked at Aldy, then pulled the blanket up to cover his entire face.
Aldy pulled the blanket over Maureen's face, making their eyes meet again. "Do you really want to be late for your first day of school?"
"Let me be. At worst, I will only be punished by the teacher."
Aldy got up from above Maureen's body, tucked his hands between Maureen's body and the bed from the side, and carried Maureen along with the blanket that wrapped her in a bridal style.
"Aldy! Put me down!"
Aldy ignored it. He continued to carry Maureen and put her down in the bathroom. Aldy immediately came out of the bathroom and closed the door from the outside.
"Aldy, open the door!"
"No."
"But this blanket will get wet!"
Aldy opened the bathroom door, intending to receive a blanket from Maureen. But Maureen immediately ran towards the bed. To be precise, the girl tried to run back to her bed. But Aldy, with quick reflexes, caught Maureen's body.
With Aldy's hands wrapped around her waist, Maureen had no chance to escape.
"Hahaha~ ... Alright, I give up! I'm going to take a shower now!"
Aldy, who had just realized something, let go of Maureen's waist and turned around.
Maureen frowned at Aldy's back.
Neither of them realized what was quite fatal.
Now, after the blanket was no longer covering Maureen's body, something that seemed inappropriate for Aldy to see was exposed from Maureen's lower body.
To be precise, Maureen's light blue panties were clearly visible. And the girl also just realized that last night, she only slept wearing a plain shirt and panties.
Maureen only realized it when she looked down.
"Aaaaaa!~ ... " shouted the girl, who then rushed into the bathroom and slammed the door loudly.
Aldy took a deep breath and let it out in a huff.
However, Aldy also felt something strange.
To be precise, he sensed that his little junior down there was also showing a natural reaction for a healthy young boy growing up after seeing something that could stimulate his libido.
Aldy shook his head and walked out of Maureen's room.
He didn't want to spend any more time in the bathroom just to calm his little junior, who had woken up thanks to Maureen's carelessness.
It was a really chaotic morning.
***
The roar of vehicles from bore-up modified engines echoed at the front gate of the Caius Ballad Private High School.
There's no need to guess anymore who the man driving the motorbike is. With a black bomber jacket wrapped around his school uniform, black Vans sneakers with white laces with Old-Skool stripes accents, and a full-face helmet that covers his entire face.
He is Rizaldy Pradipta, a man who is currently in third grade. The most respected and feared student in the entire school. The number one bad boy whose name alone can make fear run rampant in the minds of other bad boys.
However, what made all the students who happened to be there curious was the person who was riding behind him.
From the uniform the girl was wearing, she looked like someone who was about to attend an orientation period.
Aldy parked his motorbike where he used to park it. Maureen got off first while Aldy was still sitting on the motorbike.
Yep, the girl who came with Aldy was Maureen.
The girl took off her helmet and gave it to Aldy.
"How do I look?" Maureen asked while looking in the rearview mirror on Aldy's motorbike. Maureen wears the nameplate she prepared for the orientation, a cardboard sign that is tied to a rope that now wraps around her neck. The nameplate writes MAUREEN, and (RABBIT) at the bottom of her name.
New students who will take part in the orientation period are indeed required to write the names of animals, plants, or anything under their real names as they please.
Aldy also took off his helmet and looked at Maureen.
"As usual, you look so ugly," replied Aldy, who found Maureen's sullen face. For Aldy, any expression shown by Maureen looks adorable, except when the girl is crying.
"Aren't you too mean?"
Aldy chuckled and got off his motorbike. The two of them walked into the school building.
Of course, Aldy alone was enough to be the center of attention when walking down the school corridor. But having Maureen next to him made it even more interesting.
Maureen's beauty is not something that anyone can miss.
And the rumors about Aldy coming with a first-year female student who will attend the orientation period immediately spread.
Who is the girl next to Aldy?
Is she his girlfriend?
Has World-Broken-Heart-Day finally come, knowing that Aldy, the man most girls desire at school, finally has a girlfriend?
Like the virus in movies about the zombie apocalypse, rumors spread at an insanely insane speed.
Aldy and Maureen stopped in front of the main hall, where all the students who were going to attend the orientation for the new students gathered. Of course, with members of the intra-school student organization in charge of the activity.
"I don't need to accompany you any further, do I?" asked Aldy, who found Maureen still looking around.
According to Maureen, the school where she is now is quite different from her school before. Of course, compared to her old school, Caius Ballad Private High School seemed much more luxurious.
No wonder. The cost per semester of this school is also not something that can be borne by people from the lower-middle-income side.
"Reen?"
Maureen turned. "Oh, yeah."
Aldy smiled, put his palm on top of Maureen's head, and stroked it gently. "Have fun. If anything happens, just call me."
Maureen returned Aldy's smile with a slow nod. Aldy finally stepped away from Maureen. At the end of the corridor, Aldy had turned around and received a wave from Maureen's hand.
Maureen turned her gaze back to the entrance of the school's main hall. After catching her breath, the girl finally got the courage to step inside.
Along the way, Maureen didn't know what to do. She received a different look from everyone who had been there before.
Maureen doesn't realize that most of the students who enroll in this school are people who want to go to the same school as Aldy. Somehow, Aldy's name was already well known even among the new students.
In fact, several accounts on various social media had posted photos of Aldy with the hashtag #HandsomeStudent.
Be it on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Tik-Tok, and others.
It sounds strange because Aldy himself was not aware of his popularity all this time. But that's the fact.
And the fact that Maureen had become a topic of conversation on her first day of orientation because she was the one who came to school with Aldy.
"Everyone, line up according to your respective classes!" shouted a student council member using the megaphone he was holding.
Maureen followed the student council members' directions, as did the others.
Someone tapped Maureen on the shoulder from behind, making her turn around.
A woman who looked familiar in Maureen's eyes smiled at her. Maureen couldn't believe what she was seeing right now.
"Y-you ..."
The woman smiled.
Maureen never expected to meet someone like her here.
