One week has passed since the campus introduction activity. Today was the day the first college began. We had to wake up early because the bus to Indralaya left at 6 AM. Yonna, Haden, and I were ready to go to the bus stop on the campus in Palembang and we would be escorted by Mrs. Sari.
We arrived thirty minutes early. But the bus stop was already filled with students who were also going to Indralaya. We used the bus provided by the campus but it was not free. The yellow bus with the words ''Sriwijaya University '' arrived at the bus stop. For sure, we had to jostle to get in, but with Yonna's alacrity, we were able to get on the bus. During the trip, I felt a little hot because this bus was only naturally air-conditioned.
"I thought a lot of people wanted to take this bus because it had air conditioning. But I was wrong," Yonna said while wiping the sweat on her forehead.
"I think so, maybe because of the cheap price."
When we arrived on campus, we had to separate because of the different faculty building locations.
"Don't forget, the bus will be there at 2 PM," Yonna said.
Haden and I walked in the same direction because of the distance between my faculty and him. When I almost reached my destination, I saw Lyla who was walking towards me.
"Hi, Aneska! Finally, we meet again!"
"I'll go first," he said.
"Wait, this is Lyla, Lyla this Haden my boarding house's friend."
"Hi, Haden! Nice to meet you."
"Hi," he replied briefly, which made Lyla's face change a little.
When Haden left, I told Lyla that Haden was like that, he was the one who would talk as needed.
"Aneska! Our names are in the same class," she shouted with joy.
I was very happy to be in the same class as her, at least in this class I knew someone. Today we only made introductions to the lecturers who taught, so that my class schedule finished faster.
"How did you get home?" Lyla asked me while we were getting ready to leave class.
"I'm going home by bus with Haden and Yonna," I replied.
"Can I join you? My dad can't pick me up today."
"Yes, you can."
It was still 1 PM so we had to wait another hour to go home. The three of us had left the class while Yonna hadn't and we chose to sit at the bus stop.
"Didn't Yonna give you a text?" I asked Haden.
Again and again, he just answered with a shake of his head.
When I waited, Lyla and I talked a lot about our high school days.
"I used to have a friend who I thought was like my own family, but she was accepted to study in another city, we had no contact for a long time," she said.
"I've always had no close friends because I had a hard time getting comfortable with other people," I replied.
Yonna came over with an annoyed face, "The lecturer took so long to finish the class."
"Hi, Yonna! I'm Lyla. Aneska's classmate."
"Hi! I'm sorry for being angry. You're very beautiful!"
"Thank you! You too."
We were already sitting on the bus, I saw Yonna who was fast asleep while Lyla listened to a song from her Discman. Haden and I just stared at the street because we were both sitting near the car window. After more than an hour we arrived in Palembang. Haden said that Mrs. Sari sent a message that she couldn't pick us up this afternoon.
