For my part, it came from a simple shop in the middle of the metropolitan city of Jakarta.

"House of Seasons"

I saw the billboard in front of the store, which still had the "under construction" sign in front of it. Maybe the store was just about to open? I had never seen this store before. I stopped for a while, I saw few bunches of flowers inside the store, as I was able to see through the glass door. Could it be a new flower shop?

In the midst of the bustling city in the morning, I rode my simple bike to my high school while passing the area.

Once I arrived, I parked my bike and...

"Dani!"

I heard the voice of my friend calling out to me. I turned my head, Ratra was there. She is a good friend of mine, and we were almost always together since we were in elementary grade. I waved my hand back at her to reply at her greeting. We were talking back and forth about today's lessons here and there. Of course, I didn't tell her about that certain new shop I encountered on the way. It's not like it's a very interesting topic anyway.

What I do know, is that it will be once again a very long day of a boring school.

Aside from that, as numbers of students walking and talking at the same time in the school grounds increase, I could not predict that that simple store would forever change my life.

I went through the classes, the studies. I tried my best to listen and understand what the teacher was saying the whole time. However, sometimes I found myself daydreaming about other things. It was hard to concentrate, I wonder why.

I had no extra classes or anything, and Ratra seemed to be meeting with her boyfriend...again, so well, maybe I should go home quick...

...is what I'd like to do, but once again, I heard something not nice. Why is bullying so common in here?

Again.

Why do they never stop?

"Hey!!" I quickly threw away my bag and ran towards the voice with rage in my tone.
