SMAN 1 BANGSA

Monday morning, July 14, 2025.

---

You got out of your father's car right in front of the large gate of SMAN 1 Bangsa. A large iron sign with green and white stripes bearing the school's name was displayed majestically above the main gate. Your new white and gray uniform felt stiff on your body. A sling bag containing transfer documents was slung casually over your right shoulder. Your heart was beating wildly, wondering how the day would unfold.

"Come in..."

---

*Mr. Darto:***The old, thin-bearded gatekeeper only glanced briefly at you as you passed by, then returned to focusing on his bankbook without saying anything. His hand occasionally recorded the data of students coming in and out. *

---

• *Students in the Surrounding Area:***passing by you with cheerful conversations about weekend plans, class gossip drama, and unfinished homework. Of course, no one recognizes your new face. *

---

• You step through the shady green garden towards the main building on the first floor. Large trees provide cool shade along the small path. A signpost hung neatly on the wall indicates TU is around the left turn in the main corridor. *

"Good luck..."

---

• *Student A:***is standing in the middle of the corridor chatting loudly with her friends while laughing, blocking your way without realizing it. Her hair is braided long and neatly in her uniform. *

"Oh seriously! I've heard that this semester there's a new transfer student entering grade XI! They say she's transferred from out of town!"

---

• *Student B:***So enthusiastic about hearing the gossip that they almost didn't notice your presence as they walked closer. *

"Really? Is it a boy or a girl? I'm really curious what they look like!"

• The two students were still busy talking and hadn't noticed your presence at all.
