RAINBOW BOY

*short story

RAINBOW BOY

Before I go to campus, I always prepare for the books, headset, laptop, and dont forget for bringing food. Before I’ve finished for preparing the stuff, Tina's alarm is ringing, "Kariin, wakes up!" She makes me embarassing.

"I'm so crazy hearing your shout every morning. Why don’t you greet me 'good morning honey' ", I said.

"You are so lonely, do you think that I'm Indomaret worker? That's why I suggest you to look for boyfriend. hahahaha" Tina said. Boyfriend, boyfriend, and boyfriend, why I should hear that word everytime.

Today the alley is very crowded, the students queque for entering the small gate. But finally I reach my class. Oh GOD, what time it's, Mrs. Jen has started the class. Directly she looks at me so sharp like a knive when I enter the class. She is the most scaring lecturer in my class.

When I take my note book, ah where, where is my book? My soul like has gone. I do pray that Mrs. Jen won’t asks me something.

"Karin, please mention 50 things that are the most important things in our life!" Mrs. Jen asks me before I finish my praying.

I think hard. "I think just 3 things miss" I answer softly.

"what do u say? Wait for my C score." She said angrily.

I go out the class with confuse where my book is. I remember! I think my book was fallen in the street while I was reading that book in the street. When I go out from the faculty, I meet a boy.  He gives me my note book and then he goes away. I feel so surprise, and he leaves me before I say thanks. Who is he? I never meet him before. Oh my lovely rainbow note book, you are back.

The next day, I feel weird, the boy that gave me my rainbow note book looks at me for a long time. This is the tenth times he always looks at me, yeah tenth times! I make myself be brave to ask to him. "Hey you are so mysterious. Why do you always look at me? I feel unconfortable" I ask to him.

He just said "nothing", and gone.

For the next day I never feel that strange thing again, but at time I see that mysterious boy is standing and enjoy the rain. Yeah, it's raining, but is he crazy? It will make him sick and wet! I shout to him to go inside.

Nazy, my best friend comes and asks, "with whom u speak?"

I point to that myterious boy. "you see? That boy is crazy, it's raining and he doesn't wanna go inside." I tell Nazel about him.

Nazel replies, "boy? There is no one in the street. Are you dreaming?"

I answer quickly "of course not, that boy, standing in the street!"

That mysterious boy looks at me, and smiles. The surprise thing, he disappears! Where is he?

Suddenly, Nazy shouts "wow, a rainbow, beautiful! I will take that picture!"

I feel so dizzy about this situation, my rainbow note book, and the real rainbow. Is that any relation with that boy? Is he a rainbow angel? I ask to myself.
