ME AND SOUTHEAST
New Students

A black car stopped in front of the school gate.

"Are you sure you want to go to school here?"

"I'm not sure about the rumors that the school here is a thug place, but I have to make sure of it."

"But I also heard that this school is famous."

"Yes, right? Even so, I must be a student at this school."

"I think the previous school was better, look at that rusty gate. "

"Don't look from the outside, who knows the inside is better than the outside, right?"

"Hm... Aye! You seriously want to look like that? You look like a bookworm, you know. You'll be a target."

"It's okay. I just want to meet an old friend."

"Hmm. who's your friend?"

"Well, he's the only reliable friend in the class!"

"?? is?I don't know what you mean, but I hope you can meet."

"I'm sure the students at this school aren't what they say they are. The proof is that this school is famous for its high rankings."

"Well, that's right." A boy in a school uniform slowly got out of the car.

'Welcome'

He saw the sign in front of the gate of this school.

"Be careful, Teja." the man yelled at his brother.

"Yes!" He replied with a farewell smile, now standing in front of the school gate. The gate is high, unlike any other school. From the front it looks like an old and outdated school, with a lot of graffiti on the walls and rust on the gates that make it look unkempt. He walked to the gate and was greeted by the school security guard. After being allowed and asked for his needs, Teja said that he was a new student. The security guard had Teja follow him to the office and as he walked, he saw an unusual sight. On the right and left are trees and a large basketball court and well-maintained parking lot. Not what he thought after getting out of the car. It looks very beautiful and looks cool when windy.

"Sorry sir! I'm interrupting your time, this is a new student." Security guards knocked on the door and entered and someone greeted them.

"What's that?"

"Um, sir. This is someone who was declared a new student." Security officers showed a teenager beside him. "Oh, come in and sit down!" The headmaster told the teenager to sit down, while the security guard left after the escorting business was over.

"How's it?"

He was shocked by the principal's question of asking something without contents, suddenly to the point. The headmaster's office is on the west side, having to rotate to arrive, like a bend in Jakarta's square. In the middle there is a large banyan tree that looks creepy. The Headmaster smiled "You must be confused right? The principal knows what his students think?"

"I'm a psychologist!" The words of the headmaster were even more confusing, could the principal be a psychologist?

"I can read your eyes." The Headmaster's question really intrigued me, what is his true purpose. The new disciple simply nodded and smiled.

"What's your name?"

"Andragogy, sir."

"Oh, you were born in August."

"No! I was born in October, sir!"

"Oh forgive me!"

After he finished giving the interview and some documents he had to prepare, the principal called the security guard again and told him to take him to class, because his teacher was teaching and could not pick him up. He followed behind the security guard. To fill the void on the way to class, he chatted with the security guard. "How long have you been working here?"

"Oh, here.. It's been 5 years." He said while scratching his head.

"Eastern Skeleton School. "

"You moved, don't you feel comfortable there?"

"No, I have friends here."

"Oh, so you said you moved because your classmate was here, right?"

"Yes, I haven't seen him in 4 years."

"Well, 4 years? Who's your friend?"

“Name Satria if not wrong."

"Catria huh? I think it's been horrified." The security guard's face was sweating when he heard the name called.

"Why?"

"Uh, no. I just heard his name but don't know who he is."

"That means my friend is really here." Teja makes a happy face. With his glasses, the security guard worried Teja. Seen from anywhere must be very unfortunate, because the appearance of Teja who looks like nerds and introverts will be the target of student bullying at his school. They continued to walk and climb the stairs until they did not realize they were on the third floor. He asked the security guard, "Sir, I saw the gate on the roof, why did you open it?"

"The father advises not to go up to the roof, huh?"

"Why Sir?"

"Well, don't go up to the roof if you don't want that to happen." He was increasingly curious why he was forbidden to enter the fourth floor which was supposed to be locked, but wide open. But he only had to follow what the security guard said if he didn't want that to happen. He was already in front of Class 2 B, across from Class 3 A. The security guard said goodbye after dropping her off twice. Teja thanked him and apologized for the problem. But the security guard replied with a smile like the headmaster. What is really going on with this school? Very unusual. He entered the classroom after the security guard asked permission from the teacher who was teaching.

"Oh, you're a new student, right?"

"Yes Mom."

"I'm sorry I couldn't pick you up early."

“It's okay Mom, I understand."

"Well ahead, why don't you introduce it to your friends!"

"Good, mom!" Teja straightened her slightly angled glasses and began to introduce herself. No response from the students in the class. I don't know what she's thinking, but Teja's worried inside.

"Have you?"

"Yes Mom."

"Please sit wherever you want, because there are plenty of empty seats."

At a glance, Teja saw many empty seats. Are there many students who are absent? He also chose to be near the window so he could see his friend from there when passing by. The students looked at him, strange expressions on their faces and continued to stare at the new student as if something was about to happen. “OK, let's continue the lesson, then take a break to get to know each other." The teacher looked at his students as he predicted.

"Yes Mom..!"

The students simultaneously responded to the teacher's words and were confused by his voice so Teja could breathe a sigh of relief. It's weird that Teja keeps watching. He also took a book and a pen, after the class he did. Actually he was very lazy in mathematics, but only this time Teja realized that the math teacher was a beautiful teacher. Teja saw a safety pin stuck in the left chest of her teacher, named Anya Sriputri. He remembers his ex named Princess. He ends his old memories, now his goal at this school is to meet his old friend. Teja was supposed to be in third grade, but an accident forced her to drop out of school. And all this time the only ones who helped to support him during his illness were his friends. But after he regained consciousness, his friend suddenly disappeared. What the teacher said at the school, it turned out that he had already moved and was going to go to the city. He willingly went to the city just to find his friend and coincidentally his brother also worked in the city. Teja also plans to change schools, because she feels lonely without her friends. They are always together and laugh together. Although his school is delayed which requires him to return to MOS. Determined not to give up, she asked her brother for help. With the name of his friend and a photo from his old school, he finally finds out where his friend's school is. And when he arrived at the Southeast Tarung School, although his brother had criticized him for changing schools. He managed to persuade her, as a result inevitably the brother had to grant his sister's wishes.

The break time rang, everyone swarmed Teja like an idol.

"Hi, Teja! do you want to go to the cafeteria? "

"I'm Agustin, what was your name? forgets. "

"Oh, hello, Teja! "
