That morning, when Lupus was parking his Vespa in the yard of Red and White High School, suddenly his gaze fell on Poppi's sedan which had stopped in front of the school. Lupus was stunned. His heart was beating hard. Every time he sees Poppi, Lupus' heart immediately starts ringing like a rickshaw. Tar, tar, tar! After all, Poppi is cute, smart, kind and really perfect. So perfect, he is like a star in the sky. You can see it, but you can't reach it. Ugh! And from the moment Poppi got out of her sedan, until she walked gracefully towards the school building, Lupus' eyes couldn't leave her eyes until she disappeared behind the corridor. Only after Poppi's figure disappeared, Lupus was able to take a deep breath, put his helmet on the Vespa's handlebars, put his motorbike on the stand, then take the bag hanging from the handlebars.
Lupus finally walked towards class.
Arriving in class, Lupus reflexively immediately looked at Poppi's seat. But the bench was empty! Lupus' eyes immediately swept across the class, but Poppi was still not there. The only thing there is is the bag. Where is that kid? With unsteady steps, Lupus walked to his seat in the corner at the back of the class. Eh, but who is sitting in the chair? Put your head down on the table! Only after getting close did Lupus realize that there was indeed a girl with messy hair sleeping at his table. Lupus was clearly upset. The thing is, usually he sits alone. And Lupus really enjoys sitting alone, without being disturbed by his classmates. But why is there suddenly a girl lying there now? That's definitely a lost girl! Lupus immediately shook the Ngebangunin girl's body.
“Heh, wake up... Which class are you in? Lost, huh? Move over there!”
The girl woke up. With his sleepy face, he looked at Lupus. Expressionless, he stretched out his hand to shake hands, while getting ready to go back to sleep. “Let me know, I'm Trixie. I'm new here..."
Lupus was stunned. The new kid?
"I'm lupus. Why are you sitting here?"
"The homeroom teacher said that only this seat was empty..." Lupus was annoyed when he heard Trixie's nonchalant answer.
"That's fine. This is my seat! I'm going to sit down! I already enjoy sitting in the corner alone, you know!”
The sleepy girl who said her name was Trixie then shifted her body slightly, making way for Lupus to sit. Then don't comment anything else. Lupus becomes more confused. "Geez! I'm sitting with you, right?"
Nyit Nyit, who had been watching the incident, immediately shouted, "The child was told to sit with you, Pus. Like it or not, starting today you have to share a bench with a girl."
Lupus looked at Nyit Nyit in disbelief. Nyit Nyit just shrugged his shoulders, and went back to being engrossed in his lessons. Lupus sat down in annoyance. “Ah, damn.”
Meanwhile, Trixie is becoming less concerned about Lupus. It's fun to continue sleeping. In fact, this time I started to hear his soft snoring. "Where are the slackers again... I'd better sit with you, Nyit," cursed Lupus.
"Oh no, what you have is definitely just cheating," said Nyit Nyit.
Even though he was annoyed, Lupus suddenly saw Poppi coming into class, accompanied by Rainbow. Lupus immediately makes you more annoyed. Moreover, Rainbow, with a true gentleman's attitude, escorted Poppi to her seat.
"Until you go out to play, Pop... There are still a few more proposals
what we have to do," said Rainbow with a sympathetic smile.
"Okay." Poppi nodded cheerfully.
Rambow patted Poppi's shoulder affectionately, then left. Watching that scene, Lupus was clearly getting hotter. His head was blowing out. But Lupus can't do anything. He can't force Poppi to hurt Rainbow. Who are you? Maybe that's how Poppi will react later. And when it was so hot, the dirty girl next to him was disturbed from her sleep and asked Lupus, "Eh, PIS... I need to go to the toilet. Where is it?"
Lupus spontaneously turned around in annoyance. “Piss, Piss. .. is my name Cuplis?"
Trixie stifled a laugh. "Eh, what was his name? Lupis, right?” "Am I really a cake? Put your ears up. My name is Lupus..."
"Oh yes, Lupus...where is the toilet?"
Lupus lazily pointed outside. See, exit the classroom to the left...
until it got stuck, then went in to the door with the picture of the girl.. ..” “Please accompany me...”
"That's fine. Find it by yourself!" said Lupus bitchily.
"Duile, that's how fierce.. .." Trixie got up, grinning, then walked out of the classroom. Lupus looked at the annoying girl. Suddenly the fad came to an end. He hurriedly took out the gum he had been chewing, and stuck it to Trixie's chair. Hihihi, the new kid has to be worked on... Hihihi... After that, Lupus hurriedly ran out of the classroom. Just as he was about to tiptoe to the canteen, Adi Darwis suddenly appeared and, with his excited style, immediately put his arm around Lupus's shoulder. "Where are you going? Eh, man, do you have an event next Sunday? Shall we go to the water park? There's a really funky show going on, Maaan. Sunday Ska!!!! All the ska groups are showing up, oi!”
Lupus looked at Adi, thinking for a moment.
"Okay. But you came to my house, right? I'm too lazy to pick you up." "OK! "I'll bring your Vespa later..."
"Do not have to. Just me!" reject Lupus.
From the opposite direction suddenly the figure of Trixie, who was skinny and like a scarecrow with messy hair, appeared again. He had just finished fulfilling his needs in the toilet. Lupus was shocked and hurriedly dragged Adi to hide behind a pillar supporting the school building. Adi was clearly surprised. “What's going on? Who's that girl?"
“Shhh! Shut up. That's the new kid. Her name is Trixie. Oh, the guy was just drunk, so I just did it. I stuck chewing gum on the seat... hihihi..."
Adi laughed too. "Hihihi.... jail you. Eh, how come you like getting high? Hooked
cashew, next time?”
"I don't know..." .
“I know people who like cashews. The look in his eyes. It seems like there is no enthusiasm for life anymore. How come a girl like that is accepted into school here? "It's just embarrassing...," said Adi, pretending to know. "Okay, don't worry about it. Will you come to the canteen or not?"
Adi immediately jumped up. “It's fun to be treated!!!” "Ugh, who said that?"
Meanwhile, Trixie, who had sat back down in her chair and was about to continue sleeping, suddenly felt something stuck to her skirt. Tri.xe wakes up. Chewing gum got on her skirt! Trixie was extremely upset. "Who's pranking you???" Trixie screamed.
“Nyit Nyit, who was writing notes, turned around. "Chewing gum? Who
again if it's not Lupus. . ..”
“Lupus????”
***
The next Sunday, the water park next to Pondok Indah Mall was really busy. It turns out Adi wasn't lying. All the children who came were excited to join the ska party. They jogged like rowdies, while listening to ska music with a humorous rhythm. Lupus and Adi, who had just appeared at the entrance gate, immediately blended in and joined in the ska rocking.
The fun thing is, Adi's makeup at that time was really cool. He wears glasses as big as a rearview mirror, and his hair curls like snakes across his cheeks. Lupus often laughs to himself when he sees his friend's very intentional appearance. Even though Lupus himself was just relaxing, wearing a casual t-shirt and ripped jeans.
Adi invited Lupus through the crowd of children to the stage. For Adi, it wouldn't be good if he didn't dance at the front. He always wants to stand at the forefront of style. And coincidentally at that time the band that was performing received a very enthusiastic response from the audience. Especially the female vocalist who turns out to have a cool voice with really funky make-up. Her hair is tied in lots of small ponytails, while she is wearing clothes that look messy. Lupus was stunned to see his attractive stage style. But the more clearly Lupus paid attention to the vocalist, the more Lupus remembered a girl. But who, huh?
"Ha, isn't that Trixie?" shouted Lupus suddenly. While continuing to jog, Adi asked, "Where?" Lupus pointed at the stage. "That!"
Adi was shocked and looked at the band vocalist. Immediately he gaped. "Well, yes, right?"
It's true. It turns out that Trixie is the vocalist of this fun group. But his appearance on stage was very different from yesterday when Lupus met him in class. Trixie looks cool there. Lupus was clearly an extraordinary surprise, it turned out that Semen was a ska singer. Adi was also hysterical. They then competed to try to wave at Trixie.
But Trixie only glanced at it, then became engrossed in her song again. As soon as the band session ended, Lupus and Adl hurriedly ran to meet Trixie behind the stage. Among the crew and people behind the stage, Lupus and Adi came out and immediately approached Trixie who was drinking mineral water. “Hey! Lupiiiiis!” Trixie chided hilariously.
"Eh, do you still remember me?" Lupus was shocked to be greeted in such a way by a singer who was on the rise that day. Even though it's wrong, the important thing is to still remember.
Trixie smiled mockingly. “How could I forget the people who once teased me. ..”
Lupus grinned. “Sorry, but you're top. Very cool! I didn't expect..."
Trixie beamed. "Thanks." However, this fun was suddenly interrupted by a long-haired boy who suddenly grabbed Trixie's hand roughly.
That guy is Sebastian. His nickname is Bass. He's Trixie's guy.
"Trix, I want to talk to you for a moment!" he said curtly.
Trixie didn't seem to like being roughed up like that.
"What else do you want, Bas? I'm meeting my friends..."
Bas looked at Lupus and Adi, and immediately disdained. He
dragging Trixie to another corner. Trixie hurriedly said goodbye to Lupus and...
Adi, "Eh, sorry, wait a minute..."
Lupus and Adi nodded.
Trixie and Bas then immediately argued loudly. I couldn't hear what they were arguing about. What was clear was that when he returned to Lupus and Adi, Trixie's face still looked bright red. Meanwhile, the long-haired guy just walked away. "Who the hell, Trix?" Adi asked, glancing at the guy who left while slamming his cigarette. "What a great song!"
“My boyfriend, uh, my ex-boyfriend. It's indeed his son. Just bother me. Come on, let's hang out together..." Lupus and Adi Darwis followed Trixie.
***
The incident that Sunday afternoon clearly changed Lupus' view of Trixie. Frankly, Lupus really likes Trixie. Until that evening, he kept thinking about Trixie. The problem is, when they came home from the event, Trixie took Lupus and Adi for a walk at the mall. From there, Lupus began to get to know Trixie's true personality. The child really has "something". It's like, when you first meet Trixie, she's nothing. There's nothing wrong with it. But the more you get to know him, it turns out he has something. Something special about him. On the other hand, Adi Darwis, the first time you met him, maybe he seemed to have something to be proud of, because of his magical make-up, his strange behavior. But after a long time after getting close to Adi, it turned out that he was nothing, aka nothing!
So on Monday morning, Lupus couldn't wait for Trixie to come in. But it turns out the child didn't come in. Until Mr. Punk taught in the first hour, Trixie's brain was still invisible. Lupus becomes desperate, forgetting about Trixie. Of course the child is truant.
When the children were busy studying, Trixie suddenly appeared at the window. First, Lupus doesn't see. Even though Trixie was already trying to wave her hands and try to get Lupus' attention. Lupus inevitably bothers me too. And he was really surprised when he saw Trixie grinning at the window, poking her head around. Trixie then said something in code
his hand. But Lupus didn't understand what was said. Unconsciously, Lupus said quietly, "What?"
Trixie gestured again with her hand. The other kids started to get annoyed by Trixie's actions outside, so they all looked at them. Lupus also makes him unable to concentrate on lessons. And at that time Mr. Punk knows that Lupus is chatting with someone outside. “Hey, Puz! What are you doing? Chatting zama ziapa, you???” shouted Mr. Punk suddenly. Mr Punks are the most angry when their students don't take their studies seriously.
Lupus was shocked, his face was pale. Mr Punk is famous for being very fierce.
“That's enough, you're out! Meet your friends outside. Zepaaaat!!!!” snapped Mr. Punk.
Lupus stood up, and weakly walked outside. His friends were all watching him, especially Poppi. But if Mr. Punk is already angry, he can't negotiate anymore. He never really chooses love. And outside the classroom, Trixie even greeted him while laughing. He wasn't at all concerned about Lupus being kicked out of class.
“Naaa, that's it. I also mean to invite you to accompany me outside!" welcome Trixie.
Lupus is upset. "Oh, you're crazy, aren't you? That's what Mr. Punk?” "So what?"
“So what? Mr Punk is the killer teacher, don't you know? And the most stingy in giving grades on report cards. Where are you teaching physics again, addduh... I'm getting scolded!"
“Alaaah, don't be ignorant, Pus! You should thank me. So free from prison. Is not it?" “Ah, you!”
Trixie finally invited Lupus to sit alone on the edge of the basketball court, "That's it, don't be upset. I'll entertain you..." Trixie then said
singing cheers up Lupus. Lupus couldn't help but laugh too. Trixie suddenly stopped singing, and looked at Lupus.
"Eh, let's just take me after school to look for clothes, okay? My group has another gig offer, so I need clothes. They said Poppi opened a boutique! Bring it on, shall we? Do you want to? Do you want to?" Lupus nodded. Trixie is excited. Singing again.
When physics class ended, Lupus rushed back to class with Trixie. The children looked at the two of them.
"Pus, there was a physics assignment that had to be submitted. "They say it affects the grades on the report card," said Poppi as soon as Lupus passed his desk.
Lupus was shocked. “Oh, Pop! I have to hurry and do it. Please borrow your book, Pop. It's okay to cheat, right?"
Poppi sighed, then handed him the book. “Here you go. But hurry, okay? At the same time, I forgot about the lesson I missed!" Lupus nodded happily and thanked him. But on the other hand, Trixie just seems indifferent to her physics assignments. Instead, he poked Lupus on the shoulder, wanting to say goodbye again.
"Pus, don't forget, this afternoon... I'll take it off first!"
Lupus was surprised to look at Trixie. "Eh, where are you going again, Trix? Didn't you copy the assignment?"
Trixie shook her head. "Lazy. I'll just hang out in the canteen..."
Trixie immediately left. Lupus shook his head at Trixie's ignorance. Gile, this is the first time Lupus has met a girl as cool as Trixie.
Meanwhile, Poppi, who is curious about Trixie, can't resist
didn't ask, "Pus, what did you promise him earlier?"
Lupus turned to Poppi. "Oh, that. I want to accompany you to look for clothes in a boutique
You...."
"Oh."
And in the afternoon Lupus and Trixie actually stopped by Poppi's boutique. Poppi, who saw Lupus getting closer to Trixie, felt "hot" too. Yes, because actually Poppi also likes Lupus, but she's too proud to show it first. Poppi was waiting for Lupus to shoot him first. Of course, yes. Lupus boy! But in reality Lupus didn't have the guts to shoot Poppi. On the contrary, the child likes to annoy Poppi by not keeping his promises. So even though Lupus isn't hers yet, Poppi actually still has hope that Lupus will express her true feelings. He still doesn't want Lupus to belong to someone else.
That's why, even though Poppi looked busy writing something at the cashier's desk that afternoon, the corners of her eyes occasionally stole glances at Lupus who was accompanying Trixie to choose clothes. While Trixie was trying on a dress in the dressing room, Lupus came to Poppi for fun. Poppi immediately pretended to be indifferent.
"Have you sold a lot, Pop?" Lupus said politely.
"Yeah, that's not bad..." Poppi stopped her writing activities; Then
looked into the changing room where Trixie was wearing clothes. Poppi then deliberately lures Lupus. "Eh, I've been looking at you two for a long time, it seems like they really suit each other!"
"Suitable? What's appropriate?" asked Lupus, half laughing.
"Yeah, you're both ignorant."
Lupus just grinned.
Not long after, Trixie came out of the dressing room. And at that moment his cell phone rang. Trixie immediately accepted. "Hello? Oh, Bas... Yes. I'm at my friend's boutique. Looking for clothes for a gig.... What? That's enough... there's no need to talk about that problem
Again. I'm tired..." Not long after, I heard the guy grumbling.
nagging on the phone. Trixie just listened to it to the max. Lupus feels bad, and Poppi exchanges glances.
Unexpectedly, Rainbow suddenly appeared at the boutique door carrying pizza.
“Hey Pop!” Rainbow said cheerfully.
Lupus was surprised to see Rainbow's arrival. Rainbow just glanced at Lupus a little, then, as if she didn't notice, said again to Poppi, "I happened to be passing by, so I stopped by. Want to go to Kemang. I brought pizza here, I'm afraid you'll forget to eat it..."
"Oh, thanks, Bow..."
Lupus is a bit jealous seeing Rainbow who is so nice to Poppi. Luckily at that moment Trixie tapped him on the shoulder, inviting him to leave. "Pus, just take it off, come on.... I'm not in the mood to buy clothes.... Come on,
Pop. "Thanks, okay... Next time I'll stop by again..." Trixie said while
waved to Poppi.
Poppi waved back at Trixie.
"Okay. Thanks too, okay?"
Lupus also said goodbye.
Rainbow looked at Lupus and Trixie who were leaving together. Trixie nonchalantly took Lupus' hand. Rainbow, who saw it, immediately made a sarcastic comment, "That's the new kid who says he likes getting high, right? In the end, people come together like that, right? It's true that each of them already has a partner..."
Poppi just kept quiet, not paying attention to what Rainbow was saying. Because he actually doesn't agree that Lupus is considered to be drunk too.
And since then, Lupus and Trixie's relationship has become even closer. They often go to the mall together. Play Sega games, race cars, get boongan tattoos at Gramedia, or eat D'Crepes with ice cream. Usually while having fun gossip. Lupus knows why Trixie is often sleepy in class. At first he thought Trixie was using putaw or shabu-shabu. Apparently, according to Trixie's confession, no. He's just tired every night at band practice. According to him, he used to participate in narcotics too. That's because Bas, the guy, invited me to do it. But now Trixie has realized it, and doesn't want to use it anymore. That's why he dumped Bas. Only Bas is the one who doesn't want to leave Trixie.
"But I'm happy now that I have a good friend like you. ..," said Trixie at the end of the story.
Lupus was frankly proud to hear Trixie's confession. ***
Rumors that Lupus is already close to a band girl named Trixie apparently also reach Lulu's ears. It was no one who spread the gossip, but Lupus himself. Normally, children like to show off to their only sibling.
"So you've been hanging out with that girl?" Lulu's bait when they gather in front of the TV in the evening. Mami, who was making cake dough, just listened, without commenting. "Of course. Fast motion system, bo!” Lupus said.
"Usually, what's quick to find, is also quickly lost..." "Ah, I don't know...."
While she was having fun gossiping, Lulu suddenly called her
ringing. Lulu hurriedly picked up. "Hello?"
Poppi's voice was heard on the other end. "Hello? Can talk to
Lupus?”
"Who is this from?"
“Poppy. . . .”
Lulu was shocked, then excitedly tried to talk to Lupus without a sound, telling him that it was Poppi's call. Lupus hurriedly snatched the phone. Mother, who saw her children's miraculous behavior, shook her head. Lupus took the call while walking away.
“Hello, Poppi? This is Lupus..."
“Hi, Lupus. Doesn't it bother you?" .
Lulu tried to eavesdrop on the conversation by moving closer to Lupus. But Lupus chased him away by pushing Lulu away. “Hus... hus... there you go... .” “What, Pussy?” Poppi on the other end was surprised.
"Eh, no, my little brother is rese..."
While pouting, Lulu walked away. Mami immediately waved
hand, told Lulu to come closer. “Don't disturb the fallen
Love. Can be fierce... hihihihi..."
Lulu laughed too.
While Lupus safely continued chatting with Poppi. "Just called, Pop..."
"No, just a reminder, don't forget to bring my physics notebook tomorrow."
“Oh, yeah... yeah. I'll definitely take it."
“I'm sorry, Pus, for calling late at night. After I called this afternoon, you were gone. . ..”
“Oh, this afternoon I went for a walk with Trixie. "Playing at Timezone, eating D'Crepes.... Oh, it turns out Trixie's daughter is fun too, you know," said Lupus cheerfully.
"Oh yes? Are you happy?" Lupus didn't catch the jealous tone in Poppi's voice. Ugh, you're so insensitive.
"Of course. Because it's been a long time since I've been hanging out with girls... hehehe....
Uh, Pop, I want to ask... is that okay?”
"Ask what?"
"You're dating Rainbow, aren't you?" "Why?"
"No, just want to ask..."
“Rainbow and I are just normal friends. Eh, Pussy, that's it already, huh? It seems like my mother keeps calling me and calling me......"
"Okay, thanks for the call..."
Lupus hung up the phone, letting out a sigh of relief.
