At the School Garden...
"Liv, can they really insult me like that? I know I'm poor, but do they have to talk to me like that?" Anya said, holding back her tears.
"Don't listen to them, you're not wrong. They're just jealous of you, Anya!" said Alivia, comforting Anya while patting her friend's shoulder.
"Liv, thank you. For wanting to be my friend, even though I'm like this, different from you. Your uncle is the most respected person in this city, but you still want to be friends with me." Anya said with a bitter smile, feeling inferior as if her place was not a place where she could shine but only the trash of society.
"Anya, that's just my uncle who is respected. But that doesn't mean I'm like that too." Alivia replied, denying Anya's words.
"Okay, don't be sad anymore, we're going home soon. They said all the teachers are attending an event at the neighboring school, but I don't know where. Let's go to the classroom." Alivia said, ending the conversation.
In the Classroom...
Each teacher entered their respective classrooms to inform that there were no lessons today because all teachers had to attend an event at the neighboring school.
The students immediately put their books in their bags and got ready to go home.
"Liv, they said tomorrow morning at around nine o'clock there will be a basketball match between SMA Cemara and SMA Sanjaya at the Balekembang field. You have to come, okay?" Nanda said, urging Alivia.
"Ugh, I'm so lazy, I don't like basketball." said Alivia, reluctant to accept Nanda's invitation.
"Liv, why are you like that? You have to come tomorrow. besides, tomorrow is a holiday too!" said Nanda, forcing Alivia.
"Why don't you just invite your gang friends?" Alivia asked.
"I've already invited them but they don't want to, they said they want to go to the exhibition tomorrow. So you have to come with me, I'll pick you up tomorrow!" said Nanda who immediately left to go home.
"Hey Nanda, what the heck. Ugh..." Alivia who hadn't had a chance to speak but Nanda had already left.
The Next Day...
Alivia was actually very lazy to go anywhere on a holiday and would rather sleep at home, but Nanda's invitation was a compulsion for Alivia.
Knock...knock...knocking on the door...
"Assalamualaikum, Alivia." Nanda who was already in front of Alivia's house in her casual clothes.
"Yeah, wait a minute..." shouted Alivia from the room.
Creak...creak...Alivia opened the door.
"Nanda, you came so early, it's still 8 am." said Alivia, luckily Alivia had already prepared herself at half past 7 this morning.
"Come on Liv, we can't take too long. There will be a lot of people there. Come on, hurry up." Nanda who was in such a hurry.
"Okay...okay...but I want to buy some snacks first." said Alivia in a listless tone.
The two of them immediately went on foot because the place they were going to was not too far from their house.
