Revan & Kanaya
Chapter 1

My name is Revan Julian 13 years old. Family life? I don't know... My father was a lover of cheating and gambling to make a business that was passed down from his parents to bankruptcy. Indeed, after bankruptcy, my papa never played women again but his habit of playing gambling was ingrained with him. Until my father became a true unemployed man, he still could not stop playing gambling.

Actually, papa is one of the lucky children because my omah who is abroad often sends money to help our daily lives. But the money is always running out at the gambling table. My mom has to work for the daily living expenses.

Mama enrolled me in one of the private schools that has 4 floors. Ground floor for SD school. Second floor for Junior High School while 3rd and 4th floor for High School.

Today is my first day of school. At 6 a.m., I was in school. I immediately entered the classroom and picked a second table by the window. At least I don't dare to get out of my chair. One by one the other students arrived. They seem familiar perhaps because they come from the SD that is at the bottom.

Teeeettttt

The bell went in.

"Where is the cave sitting?", asked a puzzled student.

"No...!"" his friend glanced at my desk as a gesture.

The student shook his head quickly. He looked panicked because only my desk was empty. His friend laughed at him.

Feeling unbearable, I finally shifted my position to the corner of the window, letting him sit down with me. He sat down right along with the teacher's mother who came into my class.

"For the kids!", he said kindly.

"For Ma'am..!", they answered in unison.

"Include me Mother Helda, your homeroom teacher and teach biology!"

"Take out your notebook!", said Ms. Helda.

He wrote a schedule of subjects. 2x45 minutes for 1 subject. All the children were busy keeping track of the schedules of the subjects given.

The first day of school is only filled with introductions and distribution of subject schedules. I was also still silent, not yet acquainted with the other students because I felt inferior because most of them came from the lower Elementary School, not to mention they seemed to come from a capable family.

***

I went to school here for a week. I've started making new friends.

"The cave oath you think you're bego!", said Viona, a friend of my age.

"Why do you think that?", I asked.

"Abis you like to be bengong that trus lu diem aja rich electricity pole.", he replied ceplos ceplos.

"Ha ha ha ha ha.!", the laughter of those around me.

"You know, the bego brain is bigger than the cave!", he said again.

"For you mah sakep doang but slow!", quipped Lia who sat at the table next to my desk.

"The cave has chosen the wrong seat!", My mind is in my heart.

Because my row sat with noisy children and then if you talk like the origin of ceplos. Next to me is Viona. Then the table in front of me was Billy and Yuke. To the right of my desk is Lia and Grace. Just behind my desk is a boy named Yosi and Jojo. In contrast to the row line there which mostly contains alim and quiet children.

The kids were busy talking to each other. They are not as arrogant as I thought they were. Suddenly the atmosphere became silent as Bu Helda entered the classroom.

"Today the division of the class administrators yes!", cried Ms. Helda.

After voting, Kanaya was elected class president and Yosi as her representative. Lia as treasurer. And Grace as secretary.

Teeeettttt

The break bell rings.

"Vi, what do you want to eat?", asked Grace.

"Eat popmi only once in the cafeteria" replied Viona.

"Lu didn't eat Van?", Viona asked me.

"The cave is not yet a lager!", I replied when I did not have an allowance for snacks.

"Yes cappus yuukk!", take Lia.

I took the class out and stood on the balcony watching the children in the cafeteria.

5 minutes before the break ended suddenly Viona approached me who was still cool standing on the balcony of the classroom.

"Van, math guy already knows belom?"

"Why?"

"Gua nyalin dong, the cave forgot to mention it."

"Forgot what your males?", asked me to investigate.

"Suwer the cave actually forgot!"

"Lu baek! plissssss.!", Viona cupped her palms together pleading with me.

"No take it in the cave bag!"

"Thank you Revan... I lop yu pul deh!", Viona immediately ran inside.

Yeah, girls like Lia, Grace and Viona used to copy my pe-er. Even when Viona repeated often asked for answers from me.

Until one day I didn't give him an answer when I repeated it. An annoyed Viona silenced me until the redistribution was given.

"65... Good thing you dropped the value of the cave!"

"Well, you really can only be you males!", I said.

"Iyeeee.. I'm sorry that the cave has made you!", Viona stretched out her hand, I shook her hand.

A month later...

"To commemorate Independence Day, we will carry out the 17th race. As usual we vote yes!", said Ms. Helda.

"Who's daughter's cracker meal?"

"Lia aja Bu eat it a lot!", chirped some children in unison.

"Okeeeeee...!", Ms. Helda noted on the board.

"Si Dodol why the cave anyway?", protested Lia.

"You eat a lot of trus cepet!", replied Grace eagerly.

"Who's cracker feeding competition?"

"Revaaaannnnnnn Buuu...!"

"No Ma'am. Don't be my Mom!", I tried to refuse him.

"Okeeeeee.", Ms. Helda kept my name on the board.

"Mampus lu hahahaha!", Jojo laughed at me.

The election was very crowded. I got a share of cracker-eating competitions, sack racing, and tug-of-war. The kids look so enthusiastic. This is my class that is famous for being crowded and compact.

I went home from school, Yosi, Jojo, Billy, Kanaya, Viona, Grace and Lia gathered in class to talk about a fashion show competition using newspaper materials.

"Where did this?", asked Yosi confusedly.

"It's also a thought!", I replied.

We all thought hard. Because no one can make newspaper-based clothes.

"Nahhhhh!!", suddenly Kanaya exclaimed.

"What?", asked Viona instantly stopped pacing back and forth.

"We take the newspaper and we go to the tailor to make clothes with his pants", proposes Kanaya.

"Are you broken, a stitched newspaper?", I asked confused.

"Well, let's ask the tailor how good it is" Kanaya replied.

Finally we immediately went to the tailor who was near Lia's house. Once there Kanaya explained our request to the tailor.

"Hmmm... It could be, but it needs a lot of newspapers. Later use glue fox aja not sewn!", replied the Father.

"Judah sir, we'll have the newspaper ready!", replied Grace.

"But we have another 3 days, sir, no hunt?", asked Yosi.

"Could.. later Mr. Rakain ngerjain have you first.", replied The Father.

"Thank you, sir.!", said the children together.

The next day, it was only me and Kanaya who went to the tailor to deliver the newspapers the children had gathered.

In the microcrolet Kanaya was sitting right next to me because the microlet was full of my feet coming into contact with Kanaya's feet. My body feels like it's getting into an electric current. My heart was pounding, I did admire Kanaya. Besides being beautiful, she is also smart.

"Van, about the class we won is not the fashion show competition?", asked Kanaya.

"Let us make his clothes in the tailor", I replied optimistically.

After delivering the newspapers. I intend to take Kanaya home. Kanaya's house is further away from mine.

"Lho don't you go down Van?", asked Kanaya when I didn't stop the microlet where I used to go down.

"Ehm... The cave wants to anterin you first Nay!", I replied timidly

Kanaya was speechless hearing my words but I could see Kanaya smiling silently

Kanaya dismissed the microlet, I followed her down. Kanaya and I walked to her house. Along the way we talked and joked. Until we finally got to his house.

"You want to stop by Van first?", Kanaya offered me to stop by her house.

"Ehmm... The cave just went home to Nay!"

"Ohhhhh.!", Kanaya looked disappointed that I didn't want to stop by her house.

"When the cave play to your house!"

"Yeah...?", he asked expectantly.

"Yeah...! Cave back first!"

"Be careful!", he cried as I had walked some distance away from his house.
