Hai my name is Khairul,now I'm waiting for my school bus to arrive at my home.Here if you were in form 1 and 2 you go to school around 12 p.m. and end around 6:30 p.m. I turn to my side and see a kid around 8 years old,maybe this kid was school near my school.At our area, the schools just side by side so imagine the chaos when parent pick and drop their kids,plus there were supermarket nearby.Just minute afterward the bus come and pick us,I choose to sit at the second row because the aircond is more cooler there.Placing my beg on other empty sit,I begin to look the scenery outside as the bus moving.My house quite far from other kids so i be the first one to be pick up,it quite ....um you so bothering.I need to wait for bus at 11:30 p.m.,its the rules.If dont you might end up late to school.
Well since I'm the first one I get to buy some drinks that they sell,ahem you can even order some maggi and eat it on the bus but just don't throw the rubish everyway.They also sell other various of snack,candy,ice cream and more.I lean forward to front row where the driver bus was,brother Long.He is a old man,weird nickname right? But everyone call him that.I pick the green ice box where he place the drinks and start choosing,to many sweet drinks so I just pick soya milk.Don't blame me there only orange juice,soda and apple juice....okay...I just don't like over sweet thing."Abang Long,how much a soya one ?"I ask already open my wallet to pay it.Oh yeah 'abang' is being use to describe people who older but not married,it also use to describe older male sibling.
Brother Long just look up "Just one ringgit" he reply,i hand him the money and drink it peacefully at my seat.Slowly the bus filt with kids and teenagers,some playing,talking,most of them sit with friends and sibling,some already order some tomyam maggi from brother Long,chicken flavour and curry.Me? I only finish my drink,fold the drink box and place it in my pocket after that I get all cozy and sleep one my seat.Stealing? What they want to steal ? Books? So I sleep on my way to school.The bus arrive at school around 12 p.m. sharp,I wait other to get off the bus,everyone say thanks to brother Long including me.Enter the school,we walk until the school foyer where there is inspection will be doing by school prefect.they have two row,the beg inspection and self.
We have strict rules,you can't bring phone,camera,iron ruler,for boys no long hair,girls no makeup,lip balm.Maybe some of you...may not like this rules but we grown up with it,and yes we have school uniform.Must wearing tie,muslim girls wear hijab but it can't be shorter then you chest level,if wear black shoes you sock must be black to,if wear white the sock must be white.The school prefect inspect me,since I male of course the person who checking you is a male also.He let me go and i start walk to our school prayer hall,its located at side of our school.Other non-muslim students being place at canteen but they still freely go to school hall.Our class start at 1:30 p.m. after zohor prayer.I take off my shoes before going in,I place my bag on my shoes so it wouldn't be taken mistakely.
I pass by my old classmate and talk for a while,most of it we chatting about our last school holiday,we laugh at old story.While chatting I could feel someone staring at me maybe it just my imagination,someone call my name.It come from another guy,familiar somehow.I stare at him,trying to remember where I meet him."It's been a while,how are you"he ask and I turn back at him "Yeah...it's been a while"I reply with unsure tone."You school at sekolah rendah Seri Melati right"he ask which I say yes."You don't recognize me?"by this time I only stare at him,it's quite hard because he wear a face mask.He laugh softly maybe he being watching my face wrinkled."It's me, Harith...the guy that like your sister"his face a bit flustered,embarrassed.After his confession everything click,ah...this guy.
Back at secondary school,I get approach by this guy.He told me that he like my sister,I can't help but feel sympathy.My sister can't even pick up her own mess,spoil and had those bitch attitude.I only say to him,my sister is a bit stubborn and hope he can change his made.It happen ages ago! I'm shock we meet again."How are you lately ?" I ask back."I'm doing fine,alhamdulillah.You?" he replay with small smile on his face."I'm doing fine.Now you just turn 14 years old right ? What is your class name ?"I ask,getting a bit excited because he is from my old school."1 Jujur" he smile when he see I nod in replay."I got in 2 Cerdik" I say to him.The last year exam will determine which class you got,if in my batch in mean I get into class number 4 from 8 class,just one level a head from last year.I want to try my best this year.
They both continue talking,most of it about their family members well.Khairul's friends watch them from afar.Later the call to prayer resound,both Khairul and Harith stop for moment to respect before they start the prayer in congregation.After that,the school prayer hall filt with microphone sound..."Assalammualaikum,to all my dear students.My name is Sir Asif,I was a history teacher.Welcome back to school for the ---- academic session.How was the school holiday,had fun?"playful tone at the end of it."Yes teacher!"every student in the prayer hall cheer with exciment."Ready to learn ?~"Sir Asif continue playfully,the students give mix respon.Some say yes and some don't,they still want to continue their holiday.There few teacher in the prayer hall laugh lightly and shake their head slightly.
"Alright,in a few minutes you guys will be arranged in your class row.If you forgot the name of the class or lost,you can ask help to teachers near teacher's room!"Sir Asif add before end the announcement.Khairul turn to face his friend,Bob and Ashraf."Do your best Khai.This year we are not in the same class.."say Bob with sadness at the end of it."Yeah man,do your best and try not to sleep in class"remind Ashraf to Khairul,his friend know him well haha.Microphone sound again in command tone."Alright,now we start first with form one and with continue with form two.Get ready.The class name that i call please stand up and leave the prayer hall and follow the direction that will be given."Sir Asif given the instruction clearly.
