The gray and white period is where you enjoy your teenage years. Laugh at each other over little things. Doing juvenile delinquency in general. And when you enter college, you will definitely miss those days.

As in general. Juvenile delinquency when school is late, truant or cheating. Like a Nathaniel Axel who was running along the school corridor being chased by Mrs. Rima for being late for school. And to make matters worse, he was caught climbing the wall to get in. Even though the clock had rung 10 minutes ago.

"NATHANIEL! STOP YOU!" The thirty five year old woman with a slightly bulky body chased Nathaniel who just ran away from her.

"DON'T WANT Mrs! I WANT TO CLASS! THERE'S A REVIEW, Mr. TONO!"

"THAT'S WHY NATHANIEL'S TIME COMING IN!" Mrs. Rima continues to chase Nathaniel. Both of them even become a spectacle of students who have free hours.

"TOMORROW AGAIN Mrs!"

"NATHANIEL! YOU STOP. I'M TIRED OF CHASING YOU!" Mrs. Rima started to gasp. That one student is really naughty.

"SO DON'T CHARGE ME Mrs. I WOULD NOT LIKE Mrs!" Instead of stopping, Nathaniel gave an eccentric answer which made some of the students laugh.

"YOU FUCKING BOY!"

"I WILL FIND THE Mrs WHEN I FINISH THE REVIEW. BYE Mrs. RIMA!" Without sin, Nathaniel waved his hand at Mrs. Rima who had stopped running. The woman's breath was one by one. Tired. Certainly.

Mrs. Rima just stared at Nathaniel's back who had disappeared at the turn towards the science department. From the first grade 10 Nathaniel and his friends have been the troublemakers at Pratiwi High School. So all the students are no longer surprised, if something like this happens.

"I'm surprised that the same person is one. Really enjoy making trouble." Virzha, who happened to be on an empty hour, saw the pursuit of teachers and students. Dislike dominates it.

"It's like you don't know Nathaniel." Said Nanda who was playing a game beside him.

"Because I really know how the child is, that's why I was surprised. I'm not tired of being the target of teachers every day." Virzha sat back properly. His hands returned to open the physics book he was reading.

"I'm also surprised at you Zha. Aren't you tired of holding books every day?" Reply Nanda also asked. Because his best friend and cousin really likes to read. Even a full day of reading Virzha is very comfortable.

"It's different with me. I'm reading and getting knowledge, isn't it?" Virzha shook her head in disbelief.

Nanda pauses the game. His gaze was focused on Virzha. "Did you forget that Nathaniel is also a smart student at this school? Even with his behavior like that."

Hearing the facts from Nanda made Virzha silent. That guy doesn't like Nathaniel and his friends' behavior too much.

"Don't hate someone too much. Later it can even be love." Nanda's advice. The tall guy is back playing his game which was stopped.

"I'm a boy in case you forgot. And I'll never like a troublemaker like Nathaniel."

"Watch out Zha. You shouldn't lick your own spit." Nanda said in a relaxed tone. "But if that happens, I'll be the first person to remind you." A lopsided smile appeared on Nanda's lips.

"I won't." Virzha answered firmly. She would never like a troublesome guy like Nathaniel.

oOo

"Staying up late again?" asked Danu who was sitting next to Nathaniel.

"Normal." Nathaniel replied casually.

Zain faces back. "Luckily Mr. Tono hasn't come in yet. If you do, you definitely can't take his exams."

"I don't care." Nathaniel shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.

"Then you didn't meet Mrs. Rima?" Gun asked curiously.

"Meet. But I ran. Yes, how can he catch me?"

"But how did you get away?" I was surprised. Usually, Mrs. Rima wouldn't pass her student who was caught late.

"I'll take Mrs. Rima around the school. When he's tired he gives up on his own."

"You are crazy. We're in twelfth grade. Soon we will pass. Don't play games, Niel." Steven, who is on the opposite bench, also raises his voice.

"You also don't keep playing with girls." Bagas replied firmly.

"Hehe… I'm still enjoying my youth."

"I'm also enjoying my teenage years. After this, I will never be able to experience the gray and white period again." Nathaniel answered plainly. For him, the white and gray period will not live with his desires. Don't want a time that can never be repeated again and will end with just boring things.

"That's right. Nowadays, we will definitely miss it when we are in college or worki Bagas confirmed Nathaniel's words. "If we are in college, we will definitely be busy with many things. Especially if we are already working. We will be sued for this and that. Not to mention how we arrange our future."

"Wow! Great! Is this really Bagas Hernandez speaking?" Zain looked at Bagas in amazement. Bagas often acts absurd, but behind his nature he has mature thoughts.

"Of course, yes. Are you proud of yourself?" Bagas pulled both his shirt collars up. Feeling proud of his own words.

"I regret praising you Gas." Zain looked at Bagas embarrassed.

"Just say that you are proud of me. I'm so proud that I can't even speak."

"Steven! Your friend is unclean." Zain looked at Steven who was giggling in his seat.

"Ohooo... Sorry, that's not my friend." His hands were raised in front of his chest.

"Wow... I don't want to admit it. I don't want to help you tomorrow if the girl you're dating acts up."

"Eh... Don't be like that. Then no one will handle them anymore." Steven put his arm around Bagas' shoulders.

"Ishh sorry bro. I will not eat fackboy seduction like you." Bagas lowered Steven's hand from his shoulder. His head was tilted like a sulky girl. Don't forget the rude words and pretentious selling of expensive things. "Hus hus her go. I'm hurt by your words."

"Please, do not be angry. Then who will I ask for help?" Steven pleaded.

"Oh, I don't want to know. It's your business. I'm already hurt." The drama of Bagas still continues.

"How come I'm sick of seeing the drama in front of me." Nathaniel looked blankly at Bagas and Steven.

"I'm about to throw up." Danu turned his gaze back to his book.

"I am a nobody. I don't know them." Zain looked at Bagas and Steven in horror. Like very embarrassed by the behavior of his two best friends.

"Steven! Sit on your bench." Mr. Tono who just came in.

"Yes sir." Steven complied.

"Take two of your books. Let's repeat."

"Yahhh, so it's a test sir." Complained to the kids in Nathaniel's class.

"I'm lying. Hurry up, and no one dares to cheat." Pak Tono's interruption was carried out by all the students, although not with a heavy heart.

"Why are you Za?" Nathaniel asked Zain who was laying his head on the table.

"My brain crashes Niel. Tired of thinking just now." Gun said pitifully.

"Yeee! Just like that, you're gone. Even though soon we will try out."

"I'm too lazy to think."

"You really don't think about Za every day." Bagas replied.

"Hey, what's wrong with the three of you?" Mr. Tono said.

Just grinning. "Hehe... It's okay sir."

"Do not be noisy."

"Excuse me, Sir."

"Uh, yes, Mrs. Rima. What's wrong?"

"Want to call Nathaniel, sir." Mrs. Rima said straight to the point.

"Why, Mrs?"

"He must serve his sentence because he was late, sir."

"Oops, kill me. Why does Mrs. Rima still remember?" Nathaniel grumbled in his seat.
