"Brother! All of my friends are wearing it like this!"
"Don't you delete it?"
Dinn! Dinn!
And the quarrel between the brothers was forced to stop, when the sound of the motorcycle bell began to disturb the hearing senses of Ayla and Daren. Both of them turned perfectly, both looked at each other and Daren smiled meaningfully.
"Well, brother's friend has come. Let's hurry to the front," said Daren while pulling Ayla's hand, but now it was Ayla's turn to be reluctant to move from her place.
"Don't I wash my face first, Bro? I'm wearing mascara, you know?"
"Ah, okay, just wash your face before you go to school. Later, my brother will video call you and you have to wash your face!"
"Just now, bro!"
"Too late, Ayla. Do you want your friend to wait a long time?"
"But, Bro, I!"
Ayla could only surrender when her body was perfectly dragged by her brother, feeling annoyed and angry mixed into one, but Ayla couldn't do anything.
"Bro, take my sister, okay! You guys are in the same school. Take care of her, if she is naughty, you can slap her."
"Ready, bro! I'll take care of your sister like I would take care of my own sister!"
The exclamation made Ayla turn her head, Ayla's eyes bulged perfectly with her mouth wide open. How not, in front of her now there is a figure of a guy who is still perched on his big motorbike. The guy was wearing a levis jacket, and what surprised Ayla even more was the guy's figure. Yes, this guy is the guy who made Ayla feel unlucky on her first day of MOS. Yes, that figure is Arka Mahesa! The new troublemaker at school who even on the first day of MOS had been called many times to the BP room, a very terrible thing and how could her brother tell Ayla to hang out with Arka?
"Brother, you're not wrong, are you?" asked Ayla who was already starting to get horrified, a bad feeling began to cover the heart.
"What is wrong? He's your schoolmate, right? He's my playmate and coincidentally he just moved. After all, his house is right in front of ours," Daren replied casually.
"What!" shocked Ayla. She glared at Arka again, while Arka waved his hand perfectly at Ayla, as if Arka had no guilt at all.
Ayla's face was bright red, she still remembered how Arka tied the end of Ayla's skirt with a raffia rope that ended with a banana peel, and because of that Ayla was nicknamed by her seniors as a monkey girl. Embarrassment as hell, annoyed as hell, and all these things are churning into one just because of the actions of a heartless boy like Arka.
"Hey, Moon. Ayla means moon, right? What should I call you? Bul, Lan, or… Nyet!" Arka teased with a discordant laugh that he directed to Ayla.
"Arka Mahesa, I swear you are a pig!" shouted Ayla, annoyed. She wanted to throw Arka with sandals, but Daren immediately interrupted the two, looked at the clock that wrapped nicely on his wrist then Daren took a deep breath perfectly.
"Well, postpone the noise first. It's noon, you'll be late if you don't hurry."
"This one monkey, Bro!" Arka fight. Ayla stared back in disbelief; how could her brother now be Arka's brother?
"You—"
"Well, let's hurry on Arka's motorbike."
"Do not want to!"
"Hurry up, Ayla!"
"I don't even want to go until Eid goat!" annoyed Ayla.
"Ayla, go up or I will complain to Papa!"
"Brother!"
While stomping her feet in annoyance, Ayla finally followed her brother's orders. Riding on the back of Arka's motorbike with a position some distance away then her hands behind the seat. Annoyed, yes, but she had no other choice, because her brother had threatened her in such a manner.
"Nyet, handler. If you don't, you fall."
"I don't care!"
"I already told you, yap."
"I don't care!" snapped Ayla.
Smiling, Arka immediately droves his motorbike fast, making Ayla tightly grip the handle on the back. Ayla's hands really hurt. Arka's motorbike went so fast, it only took him a dozen minutes to get to school. After arriving, even just at the school gate, Ayla immediately jumped from Arka's motorbike which happened to be stopped because the gate was closed. Ayla without saying thank you and so on, immediately ran into the gate, smoothed her hair with her fingers, and it managed to make Arka chuckle in annoyance.
"I'm not late, am I, Tan?" asked Ayla. All the students were already in the front yard for the flag ceremony, and luckily the flag ceremony hadn't started yet.
"Not yet, where have you been, anyway, Ay?" asked the girl called Ayla by the name Tan. Yes, Intan is her name.
"I'm late, this morning I had a bad dream."
"What nightmare? I thought you had sweet dreams."
"How come?" Ayla asked confused, why did she have to have all the sweet dreams?
"Yeah yeah, who wouldn't have sweet dreams, if you've become a superstar now."
"Superstars?" repeated Ayla stupidly.
"At the closing ceremony of MOS, you caused a commotion in the school, because of the statement from Devano who said that the two of you were already dating, Ayla!"
"What!"
Ayla could only scream like an idiot, then she realized her friends were already looking at her with that 'weird' look. Dislike stares, annoyed looks, rivaled looks, and so on.
This is Ayla's first day of entering Bhakti Dharma High School, which Ayla imagines if her high school life will be so beautiful like what is told in romance novels, or in soap operas that she often sees what happens in her dreams… real?
Ayla ruffled her hair in frustration, she hoped that everything that happened was a dream. Right after Devano left the room, everyone made fun of Ayla perfectly, all the girls didn't like Ayla. Ayla was even forced to be rescued by Nuna out of the gym so that Ayla would not be tortured by a girl from the same school.
