My name is Ren, this is my first day in a new high school. There a lot of people that I do not know, because I moved to a different city from my junior high. I entered class 1st A. In class I am a little awkward to hang out with friends in my class, because the average student in my class is a woman.

In this school there is a quiet lovely and beautiful student, her name is Rina. She is in the same class as me, she is the only child of the owner of the school. She is also a student who is smart on almost everything, so that many are idolized her

***

Several days passed, I have started to get used to the atmosphere of the class. I've also get a good friend in class, his name is Bima. He is a kid who likes to joke, but his joke was always crisp. But we still laughed because of the awkward reaction from him because of the crisp joke.

***

When I walked in the school corridor, I ran into Rina. When I was about to greet her, it turned out she had passed me, so I undo my intention.

***

Sunday came, my sister and I went to shop for some groceries at the supermarket.

"Ren, what should we cook for lunch?" my sister ask me

I said "It's up to you sis"

While talking to my sister, suddenly a voice called my name ...

"Rennnnn ..."

"Long time no see you two. How are you guys ?"

"Long time no see too Lia, we are fine," I said

"Hi sis " said Mia

The one who greeted me was Lia. A friend of mine from childhood who had long moved to this city. She attended a different school with me, so we rarely met each other.

"Where are you going, Lia?"

"I want to buy some groceries, because I'm at home only living alone. Even if cooking is only easy to make."

"Do you want to come eat together at our house? Incidentally we bought a lot of ingredients," I asked.

"Are you sure Ren?, Thankyou"

"It's okay, we could spend more time together. We haven't seen each other for a long time."

"Oh ... hmm ... ba ... okay then, thank you! I can save my monthly money, teehee ~," she replied.

***

"So, how is your current school?" asked me.

She bowed her head, "Hehehe, it's fine, Ren."

"Why you answered so gloomily? What's wrong?"

"Oh, it's okay, Ren ... Actually because your not there"

"Eh, what?, can you repeat it again?"

"Ah, no, its ok Ren"

After about 1 hour we went home

***

Arriving at my house ...

I went to the kitchen and started cooking

"Mia ..." Said Lia

"Yes sis?"

"Your brother has a girlfriend yet?"

"Looks like it's not yet, what's wrong? Don't tell me that you like him.." Mia then let out her suspicious face.

"N-n-n-n-no. I-I-I-I'm just asking, isn't it allowed?" Lia answered with a blushing face.

"Hahaha, I understand, its ok sis" answered
Mia

After we finish eating,

"Sorry, Ren, I was bothering you, so in exchange, I'll help you with the dishes."

"Ah, no need too, you're the guest here."

"Oh well then. Sorry to bother you, Ren."

"It's okay. By the way, you didn't go home, Lia? It's already getting dark"

Lia looked at her watch,

"Oh yeah, I just realized. Then I'll go home now. See you again REN!"

"Ok!"

"I forgot to ask this, where is your high school, Ren?"

"In Mawar High School."

"Oh, Mawar High School? Looks like we will meet again in the near future. Bye, see you later Ren."

"Yes Lia,"

"But ... what does that mean in the near future?" I told myself

"Ah never mind." I went back into the house

A day past

Today Bima and I went to school by bus, but accidentally we met Rina at the bus stop, I greeted her.

"Morning," I said simply

Rina answered in a flat tone. Well better than she not answer at all.

After that...

"Ah! Ren, sorry I can't go with you. There's something I left at home, so you can go first REN!" he said in a hurry

After the bus arrived, I went straight inside.

***

It turned out there only two empty spots left on the bus, Rina and I could sit next to each other. Throughout the trip we just stayed silent until finally my cellphone rang.

"Texting ~," I said while checking my cellphone

"Ren, isn't that the song from the band name The First? Do you also like The First?" Rina asked me because she heard my cellphone ringtone

"Ah, yes."

It turns out she likes the same thing as me.

***

Arriving at school, Rina immediately went to the music club room, while I went to class. Then Bima came to me.

"I'm sorry Ren left you alone," he said, apologizing to me

"Yes, Its ok. Next time, check your belongings before leaving." I said without showing my frustration at him

***

When break time, Rina came over to me,

And said "Thank you, Ren," then she just left...
