The Day We Met

It's 6:01 A.M in the morning

"Don't forget your bag okay?"

I nodded to the woman and left the house.

This is the day I leave home and go to my new school. It's been 15 years i've live with my parents and now finally i can leave them. It's been a boring life after all, always study and study every day.

I got into a taxi and left everything that had passed. I finally enroll in high school, the place where society begin to broke their mind and doing every thing they like without any hesitation. Smoking, bullying, dating, or even having a sex. That's high school period in this decade.

They begin to destroying themselves and affecting other to do the same thing. Youngsters nowadays only care about their appearance and their romantic youth. Study for future? That's what the ancients say, they say. "High school is the best moment in your life", "You don't need to study hard, you also need to find love in high school." they say. But then, why when they are hurt because of love they don't care about other stuff but their feelings? "Oh because i need to enjoy my youth.". That bullshit, every thing is connected to their "youth". What is their purpose in life? To find love? To make a lot of friend? To enjoy youth?

For me you can't enjoy your life, because it just a stopover. But I still do what I like even though it means nothing. "You don't know how long you gonna live, so why don't you enjoy your life?" i heard that for many times. But once you enjoy your life then what? Happiness? One day we all gonna die and we are back to dust. "Your life is horrible, you didn't even enjoying your life." Then if you happy but you die, are you happy? A dead person can't be happy at all, even though other people give you happiness and you happy with them. Once they die it's all over. Others who give you happiness started to crying and the sadness will come over and take over their body. Then can you say that is happiness? People will make you happy for a second but they also will make you sad for an hour.

And my another "boring" day has just begin. I enroll in the best school in the country they say. But then, what makes it the best? Facilities? Probably the teacher? The curriculum? Well that all is no longer matter to me. I just need to graduate faster so that i can sleep all day in my house. That's life, to sleep and dreaming a good things that is impossible in this world. Probably one day i will get my super power like superman and when that day come, i will leave earth and travelling the universe alone.

"We're here kid, do i need to help you with the stuff?" the taxi man offered me help, that's what they say kindness. But it's all because of his job, if he didn't work as a taxi man he would never help other like this.

"No need, i'll help myself." i get out from the taxi and take my stuff and went to the school hall for the opening ceremony.

My first impression is this place is so crowded, even though it's less crowded than my middle school. I still can count how many people in here, thirty, no forty. But then look at them, holding hand together, chit chat and it's really loud. Very annoying really, but well it's their "life" i don't want to draw attention. I'm just gonna live my high school life like the wind flow.

I keep walking to the school hall. It's very big, the school hall it self bigger than my house even though my house has two floor.

"Good morning! Welcome new students, please take a sit." said the man with crazy white beard.

Like Captain Jack Sparrow huh, cosplaying?

"Today is a new school year, let's start with applause for all of you for being able to enter our school. "

Clap.. clap.. clap... clap..

It's really noisy...

"Then i will tell you how many students is registring in our school. There is 12809 students who register in our school. But only 100 is accepted, and now that 100 students is divided to four class. And that is 10 MIA 1, 10 MIA 2, 10 IIS 1, 10 IIS 2. Each class has 25 student and student already choose their majors in the entry test."

I choose MIA, that consist of Pyshics,Chemistry, and Biology as the main subject. Why i choose MIA? People say that it's really hard, but in reality it's the same as IIS. I choose MIA because i know there are less noisy people in MIA. That's what i know and i hope. I don't care how hard is the lesson, as long i can sleep it's okay.

"And now there is a school tradition, the best student in the entry test will have a speech right here right now. The student's name is Haruse Lee, please stand up and please give him an applause. Before he give you all speech, i will tell his achievement, he win the national chess 2017, 2018, 2019 tournament, that is three year in a row. Give him an applause."

Clap.. clap.. clap..

WOOOO....

"There's genius in our school!"

"He is handsome too!"

"Is he a model?"

It's noisy again, oh my god. My youth has just destroyed, i've been humiliated in the first day of my high school life. Ah, why me?

"He also ranked first in the national exam, with all his score is 100 a perfect score in all subject. He also won the 'International Pyshics Competition' give him an applause everyone for his achievements."

clap... clap... clap...

"Really? International?"

"He is an alien!"

"100 in all subject? Did he cheat?"

Ah it's doomed. And how did they know all my achievements? I told every organizer of the competition that never tell any one and don't spread this to media. But they do spread it huh, well then.

"We are happy to have a student like you Haruse Lee, and now you can come up here to give your friends a motivational speech. Who know they will do the same and become your rival?"

"Haha haha"

"Hehe hehe"

They all laughing, they all look at me. I don't have any more choice, well then.

I touch the mic.

Ngiing.

"Ouch my ear."

Ah this is troublesome really. "Okay, my name is Haruse Lee. I want to say thank you for every one especially our parents-" parents huh. "because of them i can go to this school and meet with all of you. For this three year, let's have fun every one." I fake my smiled in front all of them.

"Wooo, the genius!"

Bz bz bz bz bz bz

They all are too loud, too noisy, very annoying.

"Well then, for the school rules will be explained by your homeroom teacher later. So for now all of you go to the dormitory, take the key in the receptionist and go back to the class at 8 A.M. Good morning every one."

Ah at least i can go to my room, i hope it's a single person room.

I walk to the boy's dormitory, it's actually beside the girl's dormitory. Very close and very dangerous it is. Because i don't have anyone to talk to, i walk to the dormitory alone even though every one seems to happy having me in the school but also the same time i feel like they also envy me. They scared of me genius and my talent. Well that's what i wanted, solo high school boy life. Without any problems in my life and just go to sleep every day that's the best thing to do.

"Here, your room number is 300."

Huaah the last number huh, is that luck? I got room number 300 from 300.

"Thank you."

Room number 300, it's here.

I open the door and find out that the room is pretty simple. It has bathroom, bedroom and a cool set of table. It's pretty good room for me. The bed is also really comfy i can sleep all day long here.

Well because i already done packing too. Sleep right now is not a bad choice but maybe library is a good choice too. It's still 7.32 AM so there's still time.

I leave my room and go to the library. The library is near the dormitory only a few minutes and you're here.

It's pretty big library, i can see there's like 50.000 books in here or even more.

Now, because i'm a high school student, i need to find a book to read. Probably in psychological section.

"Hmm, ah here it is. 'My Time' by Kima Kimi. It's only one here, lucky-" i take the book but at the same time i saw another hand that also wants to take the book. "ah."

A beautiful girl with her long black hair also wants to take the book. She is beautiful, at least for me.

"Oh i'm sorry." she said.

"Ah, no problem. You can take the book if you want." I talked to a girl! It's been a year since I last talked to a girl.

"Ah, thanks. I'm surprised that actually someone is looking for this book too."

Yeah me too also. This book is not that popular but lots of people said that this book is a hidden gem. I also want to read the book but she got it first, well then.

"Yeah, i want to read this book. But if you want to read it first, just take it. I can read it sometime later."

"Ok, thank you..." her voice shrunk when she saw my face.

"What's wrong?"

She looked surprised when she saw my face. What's wrong with my face? Maybe she knows that i'm ranked first in the test huh. Well any one will get surprised too, this is a normal case already.

"N-nothing. Alright, if we meet again i'll give you this book."

"Ah ok."

Then i walked away from her. I'm thinking that i should probably go to class now. It's 7.40 A.M now.

Ah i forgot to tell her my name or maybe she already know my name?

"Anu, my name is Haruse Lee a new student, MIA major."

"Ah, yeah i forgot to tell my name..." her voice got smaller again. "My name is Asane Lim, grade 11, MIA major too."

"Asane Lim. Okay, nice to meet you." so she is older than me huh.

"Yeah, nice to meet you Haruse Lee."

"Nice to meet you, ceh."

Ah, so this is how girls talk. This is very different from boys, i myself rarely talk to men myself so i don't know how boys talk. At least now I know how to avoid people who want to be my friend, especially girl. Girls talk with cute voice just to attract boys. So now i know how to counter it, of course with my specialty.

Alright now is the time for class. I don't want to make a trouble in my first day.

"Haru it's been a long time. Do you still remember me?"
