After I got out of the car, I went straight into the school building.

    Luckily because of the sunny weather, nobody competes to go to their classes. Much different from the rain that continued to fall during the past week. One of the school student with me all ran down the corridor, on the stairs, even on the field wanting to make a shortcut to their class. I walked down the corridor to my classroom which was the most ending class.

    "Hi, Afya!" Lani, my friend said hello.

    "Hi, Lani." I replied.

    Me and Lani, together with Zandar have become best friends since grade three in Elementary School. And what's even more surprising, the three of us are in this class. Looks like fate brings together the three of us.

    After meeting Lani, we walked together in the corridor, toward our class.

    Because it's still early, not many people have come yet. There was only me, Lani, and Jayden the silent in the class. He sat quietly in his chair, which was in front of my desk and Lani, right in front of the teacher's desk. After putting our bags on their stools, Lani immediately took me to the cafeteria.

    "Afya, you want to accompany me to the cafeteria?"

    "Why, La?" Why would Lani have gone to the cafeteria so early in the morning?

    "I did not have breakfast. The gas in my house is empty, and my Mom will buy gas later in the day. So I have to eat in the cafeteria. "Lani explained the reason. Finally, because Lani's stomach sounded several times, as if to say, "Give me food!", we went to the cafeteria.

    Cause of hunger, Lani ran while pulling me in the still-empty corridor. The sound of our boots echoed in the corridor.

    Two minutes, we arrived at the cafeteria. Lani chooses the nearest seat with the nicest food vendor in the cafeteria.

    "What are you going to eat, Afya? I treat you! "Asked Lani, offering.

    "Next time you treat me, Lani. I have breakfast at home. "

    After I refused, Lani ordered some food.

    "Fried rice with one chocolate milk, Mam!” Lani exclaimed. "Wait a minute," replied the salesperson.

    "Why do you order fried rice with milk?" I asked.

    "Because my stomach just wants to eat fried rice for the past week." Lani replied, nyegir without sin. I chuckled.

    "But why with milk? If you drink milk and rice, the fluid in your side increases and you'll have stomach ache soon, La.” I commented on the food Lani ordered. Indeed, if you eat rice with milk then you will get stomach ache or that usually with stomach ulcer disease.

    "Yes, teacher." Lani ignored my warning.

    Five minutes later, Lani's order came. The fragrant fried rice smells and the chocolate milk served with a topping of sweetened condensed milk. I'm a bit tempted, but still my stomach can not accommodate fried rice and milk.

    With hoarse, Lani ate her "breakfast" it. I'm sure for a moment he will definitely ask Mr. Gerald's permission to go to the bathroom during the second lesson, SBK.

    "You want to try my breakfast, Afya?" Lani offered her "breakfast", but I refused. I do not want to have a stomachache during Mr Gerald's class just for eating fried rice with milk. Moreover, briefly someone said Mr. Gerald will make an impromptu test.

    The longer, the more students are coming. Since the cafeteria was near the field, I could see the students who had started coming in from the fence to enter and exit the school building in the west of the field. As I watched the students begin to run in, I saw my other friend Zandar.

    He looks a bit messy. His hair was disheveled, half his shirt coming out of his pants, and he seemed to be rushing into the school building.

    "Hey, Zan!" I greeted him.

    "Eh. Hi, Afya! "He still noticed his surroundings, although his appearance was a bit messy. "I go to class first, want to put my bag!" Zandar exclaimed. I answered yes.

                                                                 ***

Three minutes later, Zandar came. He immediately sat at our table. Looks like he already realized that he was a mess, so he fix it.

    "Hi, guys. How are you?" Zandar greeted.

    I say hello back. "I'm good."

    "Fine, Zan," Lani still chews her fried rice inside her mouth. "how about you?"

    Zandar said yes. We also talked in the cafeteria that is still quiet. Zandar's face looked matted-he seemed to be late to bed last night.

    "Hey, La, you want to listen to a joke?" Zandar asked Lani who still ate her "breakfast". His face twisted.

    Lani nodded steadily. He still chews his fried rice.

    I have a feeling that Zandar will do naughty things.

    "What do you call a three-humped camel?" Zandar started his joke. Lani and I shook our heads in reply, "Do not know."

    "Pregnant!" Zandar whispered to me and Lani. I immediately laughed out loud, followed by Lani who also laughed out loud.

    Later, Lani choked with laughter. He immediately grabbed his cold chocolate milk and immediately drank it.

    Me and Zandar laughed at Lani. After that, Lani immediately stood up from her chair and walked to Zandar's chair across the table. Lani exclaimed, "That's not funny!"

     Zandar smiles, putting on a face without sin. Lani's face went red in the face of Zandar. Later, Lani tickled Zandar. Lani laughed broadly (evil) as she tickled Zandar whose face began to blush with laughter.

    I laughed until my tears came out for a moment looking at the two of them. Zandar laughed very loudly. For information, Zandar and I knew that Lani was the most "sadistic" tickler among the three of us. To the point, the salesman's mother turned to our table, put one of her fingers in her mouth, exclaimed, "Shhh! Don’ t be noisy."

    Lani stopped, then walked back to her seat beside me. I chuckled at the sight of Zandar who tore his hair with his fingers.

    Zandar is similar to Dad, always can make people laugh.

    Five more minutes passed. Zandar has been talking long enough with me and Lani. Finally, he decided to go back to the class first.

    "I’ll go back to the class. I want to tidy my desk. It's a bit messy,” I chuckled. The phrase "somewhat cluttered" Zandar is definitely meaning not "a bit messy", but very messy.

    "Okay, Zan. See you in class.”

    Zandar waved to me and Lani. We also join in reply. In less than a minute, Zandar is gone from sight. He ran down the corridor to our class at the far end.

                                                                ***

Two minutes passed. I think I've been in the cafeteria for almost an hour with Lani—who still has not finished her "breakfast".

    "How long will you spend your breakfast, La? It's been almost an hour since I was in the cafeteria with you. And you have not finished eating yet. "I complained.

    "I try to enjoy my meal here, Afya. To be satisfied and not to go to the cafeteria for a while - because it must be crowded if I go at break time. "Lani replied with a glazed face without sin, still chewing her fried rice.

    As I checked my watch, in that instant I immediately told Lani to finish her "breakfast" quickly.

    "Hurry up, La! It's almost 7:15! We should not be late for class if there's Miss Anna, we can be forced to stand outside the classroom until the class is over if we get late. "

    Lani instantly finished her "breakfast". After that, we immediately ran in the corridor, exactly as we ran into the canteen earlier.
