As soon when we arrived at school, we went straight into any class we saw. We choose a class that looks calm. It says 5 stars.

Each one seems to be studying so diligently that our presence is not noticed at all. I want to pull the chair but I feel like I going to committing an international crime.

"Pst..pst.." I whispering call Thaqif to ask what we should do now. He raised his hands and placed both palms on the side of his right cheek, brought it down to the table and slept.

What?

I boldly scolded my friend in front. I patted his shoulder gently. Don't want to disturb his peace when he is busy studying. He turned his body to face me.

"Hi, I'm Anas.'' This is how to be new students transfer schools, right?

He didn't reply and continued his reading.

Okay I understand.

I followed Thaqif's style, raised my hand, placed both palms on the edge of my right cheek, brought it down to the table and slept.

PANGGG

Something happen. This is not an earthquake.

"Who told you to sleep?" The voice came from the front of the class. He is the teacher who will teach us.

"Forgive us but before that we were both new students." I spoke quickly.

"Name?" The teacher simply asked us.

"I'm Thaqif and the one next to me is Anas."

"Okay, today I have a meeting." That was the only way the teacher forgave us.

"I left the homework of one chapter of this book to finish before two o'clock." He continued before walking out of the classroom.

I patted my friend behind me.

"Thaqif, what is the meaning of the meeting, isn't he teaching us?" Thaqif just shrugged his shoulders to show that he is as smart as me.

Very smart.

"Hey new students." Someone scolded us. I don't think anyone even noticed our existence as new students. I saw his name written on his shirt pocket.

"Hi Hadwan." I tried to be friendly.

"Don't forget to do homework." He spoke firmly.

"Oh , but we don't have any books."

"At downstairs have cooperative, buy books there." He spoke without a smile, and pretend don't want to get to know about us as new students.

"He's so arrogant, he remembers he is a big boss or king.'' Thaqif spoke without realizing that he had raised his voice to the 100th level.

"He's the head of our class.'' This time the student behind us answered. His name is Atif. His face looks calm if you want to compare it to whoever the name of the class leader was. He looks like he can be talked to instead of fighting like before.

"Hey Anas, this is Thaqif." I repeated the same sentence from earlier.

"Alright, hurry up, you have to prepare it today." He quickly warned us and we should go down and buy books.

.........

Have you ever heard go in one ear and out the other.

Cooperative?

Buy a book?

It's not his answer. We who are like midwives suddenly become school students today.

This school is also beautiful, the reeds have reached a beautiful school, so let's have a tourist tour session.

Wow, there is a big aquarium.

Wow, there is also a mobile park there.

Wow , the field is like a football stadium.

We who are like frogs that have just come out of the shell are like watching an airplane take off.

We are so excited. Hahahah.

Until we saw and read the exam results near the student information board.

A+?

All A + .

SERIOUSLY?

IS THIS REAL?

There are no A-A, B, there are only A+ marks in their exam results.

Wow?

I was so shocked that I couldn't breathe.

"What are you two doing here?"

This voice is like the teacher's voice earlier and when we turn back .

True.

It is true.

"We…go…." Thaqif stuttered to answer.

"I have registered you at this school so the necessary items are at the cooperative and school hours start from seven until two in the afternoon. Any questions?''

School?

"Do we have to go to school?" I asked and the teacher just nodded.

"Do you really think we have to go to school?" This time Thaqif didn't believe it.

Once again question and the teacher just nodded.

Run away.

Is that what we should do?

Well, for now, just agree and tomorrow we no need to come right?

"Don't forget to finish one book that is two hundred pages." The teacher's speech warned about the homework given.

"Okay .. two HUNDRED?'' I was surprised. Our eyes almost fell out because we were so surprised to hear about this surprise.

Really?

Two hundred?

"If you guys not finish this homework , there will be additional pages.'' And this warning….

Terrible…

............ .

It's over for our first day of school. Nothing interesting happened just now.

Just nonthing best happen.

Fortunately the homework question is only an objective question. Just random your answer.

Easy right?

So even be new students we not celebrated. Bland and boring.

And

"Brother."

Really yes he wants to invite us both.

We got into the car with a familiar face since this morning. Sleepy. Nothing to cheer about.

"Can you guys smile when see me?" He asked while inserting a request.

"See you brother? Smile? What does that mean? Are you going to stay here?'' I asked many questions.

"That's right. I will stay at home.''

Oh no!

You think I should laugh or laugh out loud right now?

"Brother, drop us at field.'' My voice issued an order.

"Why is your house over there huh?" He asked with a hurtful question.

"Just drop without ask anything ." Wow! My tone is like launching a war bomb. So my good beloved brother drop us to our destination in the field.

After my brother go , I automatically become a heat worm.

"WHAT A JOKE IS THIS, I DON'T WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL!'' I screamed out loud while Thaqif covered his ears as he was surprised by my fiery and stinging vocals.

"Don't worry, just go to school."

"Is it school? After this we are no longer free. We can no longer hang out near the field, We can no longer do game activities near the field."

"But we can still play again.'' He spoke calmly.

"Play what? What are you playing?'' I asked frantically.

"ONE."

Does he already know what that means?

"Good.'' I weakly agreed with Thaqif.

"But….''I spoke again with a hanging sentence.

"Only tomorrow I will go to school and then I will make a decision.''

"What decision?" He asked.

"Either I will step out or my brother can't see my face.''

"For?" He asked.

"Getting rid of distractions that bother me.'' I answered.

"Can I ask something?" He asked again.

"What?"

"What do you really hate your brother or school?"

"I…I…" I stuttered to speak. I wasn't even sure of the answer but what I remember was something that hurt.

"Or you hate school because you're not smart and your brother will probably babble even longer after this.''

I breathed a sigh of relief. Let that be all he knows. No need for more than that. I just nodded affirming Thaqif's answer. If he knows I'm sick because of something I don't remember, he'll ask a lot of questions.

"The back of a knife, if sharpened for a long time, will be sharp. We don't know in the future we will be heroes in people's eyes instead of zero.'' Wow, I can feel a different aura from this Thaqif. Full of dedication and courtesy in the way he speaks. In an instant I saw him transform into an international university lecturer.

"Alright let's play ball." I invited.

"Let's go.''
