5. New Identity (2)

~ Everyone is demeaning and insulting. It felt like I wanted to disappear from this world. However, when God lifts our heads. No one can bring it down. ~

“Just stop here, sir,” said Alex. Alex had changed into his high school uniform. New uniform. It’s no longer the uniform of his older cousin, the Pras. Alex also uses a luxury and branded backpack of course.

“Young master are you sure? Aren’t you all delivered in front of the school yard?” Marco asked.

“No, Uncle Marco. I’ll just walk from here,” he said draping his jacket over his shoulders.

“Then be careful sir. Don’t worry, the bodyguards will follow Master,” Marco said. Alex nodded. He walked to school. Only 5 minutes have arrived at the gate. Sure enough, the four bodyguards followed him from behind.

“Maintain a distance! 1 meter,” said Alex, “you can only be outside the school. No need to enter.”

“Okay, Boss,” said one of them. Then, Alex entered the school. While they were standing in front of the gate. On the other hand Marco got in the car and headed back to the office. He had to continue his work. When he returned to the school, all eyes were on him. Alex’s appearance was very different from before, of course it was very striking. Alex looks more groomed and his handsome aura shines more. Moreover, he looks cooler than his previous disheveled appearance.

“Wowwww... that’s not Alex?” Dina shouted to her friends. The whole school knows that Alex has been dropped from school. They didn’t think that Alex still dared to show up at school.

“Hasn’t he been expelled? Yes, after fighting with Yoga.”

“He, various kinds of donor children still go to school. Surely the principal will defend Yoga more.” Alex kept walking down the hall even though everyone was gossiping about him.

Alex doesn’t care. Even though time has flown, waiting for a queue of vengeance from him. It’s only a matter of time.

“Crazy...! Alex disappeared 2 weeks straight away like that. So handsome… I’m fine even if he’s naughty.”

“But I don’t think he’s Alex. How could he wear branded bags and shoes? Does Alex have a twin brother?” The students were confused about it.

“Alex...!” suddenly a woman stood in front of him, “you’re Alex right?” Misca?? Alex had stopped in his tracks. Alex stared at him intently.

“You’re Alex right?” asked Misca in a very girly style.

“You’re Alex right?” The question was repeated, though not always from the same mouth. What kind of terror question is this?

“No,” Alex answered firmly. “No?” Misca gaped then ran to her friends.

“Guysss...! He’s not the Alex we know Guys!” Meanwhile, Alex went into the principal’s office. He knocked on the door of the room carefully. He was waiting for a shocked reaction from someone who didn’t care about any excuse for an innocent student.

“Excuse me, Sir. I am a new student who was registered here yesterday,” said Alex standing in front of the principal.

Mr. Arka turned his back on him and seemed busy checking the files in the tall cupboard. When he turned to him. How shocked he was, that he jumped without warning.

“Why are you still here?” asked Mr. Arka, “Didn’t I expel you from school?”

“What do you mean?” asked Alex trying not to bring it up, after all, his identity was different. He’s not the Alex he used to be. The old Alex was dead.

“Just a moment...” Mr. Arka checked the new student files yesterday. Then he read it, “Here’s the name.... Gosh! Prince Alex Waleed Alan Tabarak, the name of Prince Waleed Alan Tabarak’s father is Saudi Arabian nationality. Are you a prince?”

“Sssssttt... Don’t ever spread my identity,” he said without any smile. His anger at Mr. Arka is actually not over, but Alex realizes that he is only a student and he is still a school principal who must be respected.

“Who are you really?” asked Mr. Arka looking confused, “don’t try to play with me and school, okay?”

“You think I made that name?”

“You’re the Alex we kicked out of school right?”

“No... Who are you referring to?” said Alex with a serious face.

“But here your name is Alex too. And your faces are similar. Very similar! It’s just that you’re prettier than him. Maybe because you guys are different. Are you twins?” asked the principal with a dazed face, “how could it be like this. You are the same age. The date of birth is exactly the same.”

“Sorry sir, I don’t understand what you’re talking about,” said Alex, “I’m going to class. I want to study properly. Please don’t spread that I’m a prince. I do not like.”

“Okay...okay...it looks like you’re not that stupid Alex,” he said. Still makes Alex excited. Pak Arka put his arm around Alex’s shoulder and took him out of the room. Walk to class.

In class XI-A-1, the same class, only that class is empty, one student is missing. The other classes are full. I’m sure Alex will be in that class again. Pak Arka and the principal entered the class. It was heard from outside the classroom, the voices of the students in the class were very noisy. “He’s not Alex,” came the whispers again. “But they are very similar.” Yoga and his gang looked at Alex with vengeful faces. “Children! Shut up! Be quiet!” said the principal. Mrs. Dewi, her homeroom teacher, has just entered. “There is a new student, sir?” Mrs. Dewi looked at Alex with her mouth shut. Mrs. Dewi hides her shock. Mr Ark nodded. “Your children will make new friends. Please introduce yourself to them,” said Mr. Arka who was standing beside him. Alex opened his mouth, “Introduce my name, Alex Waleed Alan Tabarak. Transfer from middle east international school.” HAAAAAAAAA~ All were astonished. “How come the name is the same too?” said Dina most expressively, “This is the new version of Alex, guys!” “Dina! Please don’t make a fuss,” said Mrs. Dewi trying to be calm. “Okay, I’m sorry, ma’am,” said Pak Arka to Mrs. Dewi. “Okay sir,” answered Mrs. Dina. Alex was still standing at the front of the class. “Kids, is there something you want to ask our new friend again?” asked Mrs. Dina trying to be as calm as possible. Although Bu Dina was very shocked to see Alex. Yoga raised his hand arrogantly. “Then who should I call you?” asked Yoga, narrowing his eyes. “Alex,” Alex said simply. “Alex? Even his nickname is as shrill as Alex before,” said Yoga. All the students laughed at Yoga’s words. “Yoga! He’s not that Alex, he’s a new student. Please be polite,” said Mrs. Dewi, “please take your seat, Alex.” Alex nodded. He even sat on the same bench. Alex’s bench before. Alex turned to Bagas, his seatmate beside him. Bagas also looked at him with a questioning look. “You’re really not the Alex we know?” asked Bagas, “or... are you deceiving us all??” ***
