After Dark's
I'm Lululanna Marley
My Junior High has ended. I decided to continue High School in a city far away from my family.
Schooling in one of the famous private schools is not easy, I do various ways to be able to continue to learn here.
I studied very hard to get a variety of scholarships. I don't have time for myself, my playing time is gone.
After school I did part time work at Honey market in front of the boarding entrance. Every night I take the time to sit down for a while at the cafe next to the Honey market while ordering my favorite Latte.
As I sat alone, I pondered.My mind was very messed up, I don't know what I'm doing here.
I took a deep breath, hoping this would never happen.
"why is it so hard? learn while making money..."
Without even realizing it, a single tear fell down and soaked my cheek. I kept wiping it, wiping it constantly until my eyes were sore and reddened.
"Why can't I control these tears?"
"Why keep flowing?"

kring. cring...
At 06:45 wib,
"Why this alarm doesn't sound on time"
Grusuk grasak's voice rang out loud from inside the kosan. I couldn't make breakfast. I ran out in my shoes, biting my bread.
"Based on the child, it looks like he woke up late again" said a mother.
Tina's mother is a boarding owner. I also sell breakfast in front of the cost. Tina's mother was very kind, always lending me money.
hehe....
"This time especially what makes Lulu late to wake up?" Shouted Tina's mother
******
"I feel like my breathing is starting to stop"
I spoke breathlessly as I ran towards the school.
The location of the school is quite far from the boarding makes me run every morning.
My name is LULUANNA MARLEY, used to be called LULU by people around but my sister always calls me ANNA. Since my sister left I have never heard the word ANNA...
At 07:50 wib, class XII Ipa 2
The first lesson has begun. This time I passed the morning class again. I shifted the back door of the class carefully. While other students were watching Mother Riana write the chemical formula on the board.
"Are you late again, Lulu?" ask buk Riana while throwing a marker
The right marker fell at my feet, making all the students look at me. I bow my head and apologize.
"How many times have you been late in my class?" ask buk Riana
"I'm sorry buk.."
"A reason this time? are you late to wake up because of work at night? or do you have to take care of your boarding canteen first? or you. (sighs) after class you come with me to the office"
riana's mother's face looked upset, though,
"Good buk.." I said slowly
Classes are over this morning.
After packing the books, I headed straight to the office, following Riana's buk from behind.
Knocking on the office door.
Tok tok...
Buk Riana put her book on the table.
"You know you went to school here with money from donors?" said buk Riana
Hearing the buk Riana say like that my eyes started to glaze over.
"Sorry buk, I promise I won't miss the morning absence in the ibbb class..."
"Why? just in my class? lulu you don't be smart and you can make it as you please. I don't like it. You hear?" loud say buk Riana
I nodded my head
"Go back to your class, don't repeat this again, understand!!!"
I walked through the hallway of the school, towards the back. This place is rarely visited by other students.
Solid trees accompanied by wind gusts that make the leaves fall. It makes me feel nostalgic again.
"my brother longs. (my little heart's weed).

The activity is repeated every day. There was no such special time in my teenage years. All the same, colorless.
In my spare time, I tried to call my mom and dad. But it never lifted.

"Lulu don't forget tomorrow morning we exchange ships yes" said loud Mimi who was closing the door.
"I'm next to you, no need to scream"
"Hehehe, I'm sorry you. I'm too excited for tomorrow"
"Is this a family meeting? ask me
Mimi gave me the key. Mimi's big smile made my heart pound.
Feeling the happiness of friends is so much fun.
Mimi was my partner for 3 months, Mimi always treated me like her sister.
Her name is FLORIDIA MIMI, we are 5 years old, now Mimi is studying at the University but not in this city. Mimi just came home for the holidays because she was bored at home she decided to work part time.
"Not lulu, but. (mimi's cheeks are getting reddish from embarrassment) she rarely wants to visit here. If you remember the last time he was here was 2 years ago" Mimi smiled
"If so, I pray that tomorrow the date is smooth" I said.
"Thank you dear"
Mimi tried to hug me. But I just hid it.
"You don't want to be hugged by this cute sister?" upset Mimi
I just smiled while frowning.
"This child always has such an expression.if you continue to be ignorant how do you want to have a girlfriend?" ketus Mimi's
"I don't need a girlfriend, sister, I can live freely by myself" while putting the key in the bag.
Suddenly Mimi switched the conversation, embracing my hand.
"oh yes lulu, for our payday celebration..... done tomorrow night how? I also want to know you as my girlfriend"
Mimi smiled as she swung my hand.
"Yahh yes" said Mimi
"For what? (removing Mimi's hand) Never do anything like that again, you know I'm getting goosebumps" I trembled
"You think I'm a ghost? I assume you agree"
Mimi went home on her motorcycle.
"It was one-party approval" I said loudly
On the way home, I was happy. I feel this feeling I haven't felt for a long time.

Krringgg.
"Welcome, happy shopping at Honey Market"
This morning Honey market has many customers. I'm busy until lunchtime at the checkout. In my spare time I organize messy things.
Sunday mornings are always a lot of customers, this time I did not have time to eat supplies prepared by Tina. I only eat bread that has been rationed every morning for employees.

Angglora Housing,
Cring... Kirrrr (mimi's phone ringing sound)
"Hallo baby. You're in front? you go in, I'll be done" Smile Mimi
Mimi wore a blue dress decorated with a hint of white pearls. Mimi came out of the room and hugged her boyfriend.
But there was no reaction from Mimi's boyfriend.
"Why? why are you just quiet? you don't miss me? we haven't seen 3 months baby" Mimi let go of her hug while looking into Jason's eyes.
Jason is Mimi's boyfriend, they have been in a relationship for about 3 years.
"You're still pretty, because of the dress?" Jason turned his gaze to the dress Mimi was wearing
Mimi hit Jason's arm, Jason frowned while stroking Mimi's hair.
"Where are we going this time?" ask Mimi
"You must be where you are, where you want to go. We're there" Jason replied
"If there is a good place"
Jason nodded his head.
This time Mimi and Jason's date went really well. Not like 2 years ago.
