August 18, 2015. His eyes opened, sunlight quickly entered his perspective. He looked at the unfamiliar area for a while and then he looked at his 2 friends. Friends who were close to him for the past few years were asleep or maybe they were unconscious. He then stood up and looked around. Looking around there was only wild grass growing luxuriantly. His gaze then turned to one corner, where there was a tall, brownish-black rock cliff with many trees in front of it. Then he woke his two friends.
After they woke up, he went to walk to a large rock in the middle of the grass and climbed the rock. After looking back at their area, it was certain that he had never visited this area before. He turned back to his comrades who were sitting in confusion.
"Where are we?" compact that's what they sound.
(23 may 2015)
A young man who is about 17 years old, leads an old bicycle from the road to a small alley in front of him. The streets were deserted and there was no activity after returning from the house, which made him guide the bicycle in a relaxed manner.
His footsteps stopped when he passed the intersection between 2 hamlets. He looked to the west to see the sun shyly leaving. The sun's rays were orange, with thick clouds covering almost all of his view of the sun.
When he was looking to the west, suddenly he heard a horn from behind him "TIN". he tried to look back to see who the biker was, but, when he looked back, there was no one on the straight road. "strange." he muttered. Then when he was about to leave. He once again looked at the Sky and…
"Ehhhh. Why is the sky green? It wasn't orange, was it." He was surprised, it was a phenomenon that even he himself was not aware of. After some time, the color of the green sky faded. And the sun is no longer showing itself. Then, he left from there to return home to prepare for the end of semester assessment which will be held in 2 weeks.
"I am home." While opening the front door of the house, he was greeted by his mother who was sitting on a chair in the living room watching television.
"Yes, put the food in the refrigerator, later let mother process it." said his mother.
Then, He went to his room to worship and study.
Entering the time at 8 pm, he was called by his mother to eat snacks that he had bought this afternoon. In the house, there are only his, his father and mother who do not work and are housewives. After eating snacks, he and his mother watch TV while waiting for his father to come home from work.
His father came home at half past nine at night, then he went to his room to rest alias to sleep.
The next morning. He goes to high school in his city by riding the bicycle,he has been using for the past 3 years. The distance between the school and the house is 3 km. Of course, using a bicycle will take a longer time than riding a motorcycle with the father or using public transportation such as buses or trains.
Arriving at the bicycle parking lot next to his school, he met his little friend and then he met his friend who was going to the school yard.
"Hey, Iris. Morning." He hastily distanced himself from his friend.
"Oh yeah, uh morning too,Noir." Iris turned towards Noir with a bit of shock.
"How come you go alone, where Lidya?" Noir asked as the two of them passed the school grounds.
"Ah.. she's been sick since yesterday, this morning when I picked her up, her mother told me something like that." Iris quickly informed Noir.
Iris and Lidya's house is in the same direction as the school. Since elementary school, they used to go together when they were going to school.
"Eh.. how come, usually she is immune to all kinds of diseases, how come she's sick now." Noir said a little loudly, he knew that Lidya was actually a woman with a male spirit. Not infrequently when Noir, Lidya, and Iris play in the rain, and Noir and Iris get sick. Only Lidya didn't even feel dizzy.
"I don't know. I'll take a look after class. Do you want to come with me?” Iris asked Noir.
"If you have time, yes... the tasks before test are a bit annoying. My goal this time is to catch up with you hahaha.” While laughing, they entered the classroom.
Iris, Lidya, and Noir have been classmates since 1st grade in high school, so they've been in the same class for 2 years. They are also children who are smart in school, as evidenced by the previous 3 semesters, Iris always ranked 1st parallel and the other 2 consistently entered the top 10.
The first and second hours of lessons on that day are sports. Class B is inhabited by many excellent students in the field of sports, especially Lidya. However, when Lidya there is no cause, such as a competition or illness. The balance of power in the field of sport became balanced among women. Noir is not very good at sports, but he has a special interest when playing in team games such as volleyball, football and basketball.
The sports activity that day was an assessment of athletic material. While the girls were running, the others especially the boys were watching intently.
"Crazy.. Iris is so beautiful today."" Really. Her braided hair and pigtails and her slender body shape… wow.” As usual the male students vented their joy when they saw Iris running.
"Don't forget about Jean. Hold on to hers. If only she could be reached." Jean, Iris' closest rival in academics and Lidya's rival in sports. Even if she can't control one of them. she had participated in almost all the competitions but her closed nature made the boys not dare to approach him.
After sports lessons, all class students change clothes and go to the canteen.. At Noir's school and friends, when they finish sports, they will rest in the canteen for 15 minutes. So that their sweat that might still be clinging to their bodies would at least dissipate a lot.
The 3rd and 4th hours are math. Those are the toughest things for their class, because after exercise that makes them unfocused, they must be required to be very focused during that subject.
The next lesson was passed fairly easily until it was finished when the bell rang at the end of 8 o'clock. The students and girls left the school. Because extracurricular activities are held on Saturdays, so normal days like this they have to go home if there are no urgent activities such as competition preparation.
After the home bell rang, Noir immediately went to the bicycle parking lot located at the south end of the school. He usually passed the school yard when he headed to the parking lot, but today he chose a detour to go to the cafeteria first. This is because he will go to a tutoring place whose schedule that day is very tight with school time.
After removing the safety on his bike. Noir headed for the school's front gate. There was a beautiful figure wearing black stockings with long black hair moving in rhythm with the wind blowing from the passing cars and motorbikes standing alone there. Then Noir approached the beautiful figure.
"Hey, Riss. Are you together?" said Noir. That's right, that figure is Iris who is waiting for a public transportation.
"Eh.. I went straight to the tutoring place." Iris replied.
“Sure, I'll be right there too. Time is running out too. The road to get there also goes downhill so it's fast if you go with me. "ask Noir. Noir usually will go home first if he will go to the tutoring place.

When the trip to get there,
"Ris, you finished the end of the semester exam, do you plan to go or not?" Noir asked Iris who was sitting sideways behind his.
"As usual, what's wrong?"
"No, just asking."
"Ohh.."
"Your preparations are complete, Ris?" Ask a friend at the tutoring center.
“preparation for what? If it's for the final exam, it's okay." Iris replied.
—-------------------
"Where's Lidya, Ris? Why didn't you come with hers?" Ask another friend. Their tutor friends.
"Her mother said she was sick from yesterday." Iris said.
"Well.. can she get sick too?" "right. she's strong though." Compact twins from the school next door answered. They are close to Lidya because they often meet at school level and city level running competitions.
After the twins finished speaking, the tutor entered their classroom and the lesson began.
After the lesson, Iris was escorted again by Noir to Lidya's place, the direction from the tutoring place to Noir, Iris, and Lidya was in the same direction, so Noir didn't mind if he had to take her to Lidya's place first. Because Noir had already come to Lidya's house, he came to visit her even without any gifts.
Lidya's house is the largest house in the complex. So when Noir and Iris visited his house, they had to use the intercom feature.
"Hello, who are you with?" oh what came was Lidya’s little sister.
"It's me, Dee." Iris replied. Lidya’s little sister knew Iris' voice very well, so with such a short answer, she allowed the two of them into her house.
After passing through the big gate, Noir put his bicycle in the special bicycle parking lot belonging to the Lidya family. While Iris. Go straight to the front door because there is already waiting for Dea. Lidya's 5 year old sister,
“Dea…” with open arms, Iris quickly ran and hugged the tiny body and rubbed her cheeks against Dea's cheeks.
Whenever Dead and Iris met, it almost certainly happened.
"Uh,. There's Bro Noir too.." said Dea when Noir walked towards her with a smile
"Your sister is there De?" Iris asked.
"Eh, maybe she's in her room." Dea answered.
Shortly after that, Lidya's mother came out to the front because Dea was not in her family room.
"Eh. There is Iris, and also…” said Lidya's mother, asking who was the male figure beside Iris.
"Noir, Auntie." Noir replied.
"Oh yeah. Noir, haven't been here in a long time huh. Come on come on in." Noir just smiled wryly hearing what Lidya's mother said. After that, they entered Lidya's house with Iris carrying Dea.
"So, you want to see Lidya huh?"
"That's right, Auntie, she rarely gets sick." Iris replied.
"Oh then, you can go straight to her room, you still remember,Ris where is Lidya's room?." Lidya's mother said as she walked in.
"Yes, I still remember.”
After a short discussion, three of them with Dea in the arms of Iris' hand, climbed to the second floor of the Lidya’s house.
Once on the 2nd floor, Dea came down and ran to her sister's room.
"Hello Sister, are you healed?" excitedly, she came to hug her sister who was already sitting on the bed in his room.
Followed by the arrival of two friends who also entered her room.
“Hello Lid, how are you, are you recovering?”
"yo, Lid, how come it hurts?"
2 different responses when the two people entered Lidya's room. On the other hand, Lidya smiled seeing the two friends come to her room.
"Well.. you can see for yourself how I am now." While sitting Dea who continued to hug hers, she answered.
"Because of what made you get sick Lid?" asked Noir, who was very curious.
"I don't know. Maybe because yesterday afternoon when I saw the sunset, the color suddenly changed…”
“Green?” Noir quickly interrupted Lidya.
Lidya was surprised and wondered why Noir knew that the sky yesterday afternoon suddenly had a different color.
"Eh..." not only Lidya, even Iris was shocked. While Dea could only see the response of the three of them.
"Is that true Lid?" Iris asked.
"Yes. Yesterday afternoon when I looked up at the sky when the sun was setting, the color briefly turned green. Strange thing isn't it?" he nods and then smiles wryly.
"After that, I suddenly became physically weak and hot until this morning, so I couldn't go to school as usual." continued Lidya.
After talking about the color of the sky, Lidya's mother came in with tea and porridge for Lidya and her friends.
They ate the food and Iris also handed over the souvenirs she had prepared during the school break.
After that, they had time to talk with Dea who was sitting on Iris' lap. They laughed to the point of tears when they recalled the ridiculous incidents of childhood.
In the middle of the chat between Lidya, Iris, Dea, Noir, and Lidya's mother. There was the sound of a horn blaring while parking the car in the garage.
"Yee.. daddy's back." Said Dea happily.
One week later,
“Hello, Lidya and Iris. It's ready for next week." Noir asked as he entered the class. Lidya and Iris were chatting about something.
"It's you, the spirit of this time." Answered Lydia.
"That's right, very excited."
"After exams, holidays await. Ha ha." Laughing, Noir walked to his seat.
Their classmate saw the interaction of the three of them and then their classmate ignored them again and went back to their previous activity.
The long class ended, everyone in the class looked exhausted including the three of them.
"Huh... really tired." Noir complained when he left the class, followed by their friends.
Out of class, Noir went to the cafeteria first, to find snacks. And then go to the bike park. While there…
“Eh.. Vana, Vani. Why did you come here?” Noir asked the two people he knew walking in from the school gate. They are both twins who attend high school which has the same quality as Noir and his friends.
"Eh ah, Noir, we are looking for Lidya, is she still inside?" Ask the person with the hair in a ponytail, Vana.
"she already went home with Iris, just now, I don't think she's home yet if you ride a bicycle." Noir replied.
"Oh ok, thanks for the info." While looking down, the person with twin tail hair, Vani thanked him. And left leaving Noir alone in the parking lot.
Why are they looking for Lidya huh, Noir muttered.
Another week has passed, and today is the day the end of the semester test starts for the week ahead.
The first lesson, of course, is religion and civic education. The subjects that many students scored high on, the next day were mathematics and sports. 2 subjects that are 180 degrees different in terms of assessment. And the next day until the last day they passed easily.
When the test period was over, the day of the sports festival their school was now holding began. The festival is attended by both junior and senior high school students. Lidya herself was excluded from this competition because for 4 years she participated, only when she was in 7th grade where she failed to win in the athletics class.
Since this year's sports festival was a special celebration, there were several students and students from competing schools who took part in the events of Noir's school and his friends.
And because of that, they met the twins, Vana and Vani who also didn't compete because they were champions in their school's championship in the previous edition but they were allowed to come to this school.
"Eh, Lidya and friends." They waved at Noir and friends who were enjoying the food from the school, the three of them didn't even watch the school event because they were too lazy.
"Eh.. hello." While munching on the bread, Noir retorted.
"Why are you here, instead of you not taking part in the competition?" Iris asked looking at the list of participants from the school next door who were planning to take part in the competitions at this festival.
" haha. Right, that's why we're both here. Last week I told Lidya to allow us to come here as escorts." She answered with a big smile. Noir's other friends who were watching the competition from behind the classroom glass suddenly turned around and were bewitched by the 17 year old girl's smile. Besides they are good at sports, they are also beautiful, no wonder many of the high school students next door tried to approach one of them and all ended up failing.
Then, Jean came towards us,
“morning, sorry, can you guys help us?” she asked in a polite tone, in general, she is the second best student in this school, so now she is in charge of this festival event.
“Oh, what are we supposed to do if we are going to help you?”
"you guys are just keeping it safe."
"Oh… it's possible."
After finding a reliable person, Jean then went to another place, her busy life as a person in charge required her to always be active in moving here and there.
On the other hand, Noir and his friends go to the right of the race and wear yellow armbands that signify that they are security guards. With Lidya and Iris, whom the students respect, it certainly makes this task easy.
Then after finishing the first day of the festival, Noir and his friends went to the canteen. There they meet a tired looking Jean and Noir's two male friends. Jeremy and Jimmy.
"Damn it, it's only the first day that you just made a harem, Noir. Hahaha"
"Shut up Jim." Cursed Noir who entered the cafeteria area which was followed by his friends including the twins.
This year's Sports Festival Day is held for 3 days, 1 day faster than the same activity last year. The first day was spent with handball games such as volleyball and basketball. Then the second day was a soccer game such as sepak takraw and footbal. The third day was athletics and the presentation of the champions.
