Freshmen, oh, Freshmen
Since school has started a week ago, I've noticed my schoolmates have wrote about how much the things changed in my school and how it damn sucks. I'll tell you why;
You know about how the freshmen are treated here in Indonesia? They are given a lot of weird tasks to do for 3 days before they can finally be 'accepted' in the highschool. It's called orientation days . I remembered when I was a freshman I had to make a literature for one full page with siht dnik fo gnitirw (read: this kind of writing) and how I had to make an atribute of clothing with cowboy themed with this kind of '18,467 cm' measurements.
... and now, those times are over. Those spoiled freshmen weren't given ANY of weird tasks AT ALL. The teachers are behind this all, I think they are dissapointed because the school's rank has dropped. Yeah, and it's unfair like that. So, no more happy moments watching the freshmen 'sunbathing' while watching the seniors promoting their clubs activities : /
Last year orientation days was the most unforgettable moment.
So basically, there's a boy that is kinda cute. Let's just call him 'A'. I knew A because he's my friend's cousin. Last year he graduated before my friend had a chance to introduce him to me : (
BUT. he came at orientation days last year! I wasn't expecting it. I was standing with my friend in front of the school's gates waiting for my driver to pick me when suddenly A approached my friend.
My Friend (F) : Hey! A! How have you been ?
Me : *speechless* (think : OHMYGOD OHMYGOD)
F : Oh btw, here I'll introduce you to my friend here *gesturing to me*
A : *pull out a hand* Hey, I'm A.
Me: *still rather stunned but shook his hand and introduce myself* (think: OMIGOD HE'S STILL CUTE AS ALWAYS)
*Suddenly F went away and talked to his friend leaving us alone*
*Both didn't talk and feeling awkward*
Me: *thinking HARD of something to say*
*After a while*
Me: How's your college? *FINALLY having something to say*
A : Well, it's ----
*my cellphone rings*
Me : (think : *curses*) Excuse me for a moment *pick up the phone* Hello ?
A: *Still trying to finish his (kinda long) setence but then stopped*
Voice from the phone (P) : Woohoo, looks who's happy that her crush is around...hehee.. are you blushing?
Me : (think: THE HECK?!) *looks across the street*
THERE'S MY BEST FRIEND STANDING ACROSS THE STREET LOOKING EVIL AT ME (she knows about A)
P : Don't just stand still, start a conversation with him already!
Me : I just DID and you called !
P : Ooops sorry, i'll let you back to your business. hehee.. *hang up*
Me : *put the phone away and looked at him again* Sorry, what was that?
A : No prob.
Me : So.. what about your college again?
A: Ya...just the way a college is. *flat tone*
HE GAVE A SHORT ANSWER LIKE HE DIDNT WANT TO TALK WITH ME WHILE I KNEW EARLIER HE GAVE A LONGER ANSWER AND SOUNDED LIKE HE WANTS TO START A CONVERSATION.
And then my driver arrived. damn.
I'll make sure to turn off my phone when talking to a cute boy next time.
