Moments And Memories

A boy was talking to the little girl with a warm smile on her. Suddenly the world turned pitch black and there was not at all any light emanating into the little girl's world. There was a shadow and a voice in the boy that was heard crying that haunted him and the boy saw the little girl. The little girl's heart somehow felt the deep enough tightness she had felt, when she saw the boy.

Tring...Tring...

There was an alarm ringing from a girl's room. Upon hearing the sound, the long-haired, tanned girl with a light brown eye color suddenly wakes up from her sleep and sweats her face.

"Just a dream?" the girl asked.

But somehow when the girl woke up from her dream, she suddenly shed her tears and was wondering to herself. In fact, it's just a dream like in general. Later, the girl stands up from her bed and rushes to get ready to go to school. Today was his first day as a high school student.

Before that, introduce the girl's name is Evelina Caroline and she is now 15 years old, but soon she will be 16 years old. Right now, she's a high school student. Evelina thinks that her life will be a normal girl in general, but who would have thought something would happen beyond her expectations. Then, Evelina stands in front of a mirror in her room and looks at her appearance. She felt that her face was not what it used to be, the girl's face looked very pale.

"Today my face looks pale, is it because of that dream?" she asked herself. Then, Evelina encourages herself. Shortly thereafter, she heard a bell ringing in her house.

Ding...dong...

After that, Evelina opens the door of her house and it turns out that the person who came was her best friend, Larissa Kraliss. Call her Rissa, not just her best friend. However, she also lives around Evelina's neighborhood next door. They've been friends since childhood or what's usually called childhood friend. Rissa as usual always picks Evelina up when she leaves for school and Rissa is happy to go with Evelina.

After that, Evelina says goodbye to her parents. Because she wants to go to her school. "Dad, Mom, I'm leaving!"

"Be careful on the road, Eve. Rissa please take care of her, yes!" said her mother Evelina told Rissa.

"Eve, don't talk to a man, yes!" insists Evelina's father staring intently at his daughter.

"Yes, yes. I know that, Dad," Evelina said.

Evelina rushes away from her parents, because she is uncomfortable seeing her father's behavior. Then, she closed the door of her house.

"Sorry for making you wait," Evelina said.

"No, really. As usual your father is too possessive. Wkwk ...," Rissa said with a chuckle.

"Hahaha ... that's my father," said Evelina who is still unfamiliar with her father's behavior.

After that, they went to school together. During the walk to their new school, Rissa immediately grabs Evelina's hand. Evelina replies with a smile to her best friend. She's used to Rissa's sticky behavior towards her.

Arriving at their new school, the two girls attended a new student admission ceremony which is a tradition of this school, Codeland High School. The principal gave a first-year student a pre-graduated form of Codeland High School. After the headmaster has finished giving a speech, now allows representatives from the first year who are usually represented by the first rank on the school entrance exam.

The representative also arrived on the main stage, the student was already standing on the main stage. He is a handsome silvery-haired man with jewel blue eyes. The man has reached the first rank and his name is Nox Cyril. Then, the man introduces himself and gives a speech thanking him for being accepted to Codeland High School.

The students at this school start to make a fuss when Nox makes a speech, because he is the son of Cyril's very influential family in this city, Lefko and also his face are very handsome.

"Hey... hey... isn't that the Nox of the Cyril family?" whispers senior A.

"Kyaaa!! True! Luckily we can see him in person," said senior B.

Evelina and Rissa are listening to the speech. Rissa also commented, when listening to the commotion around her. "Heh ... as usual the Cyril family attracted the attention of many people," whispers Rissa. Evelina listens to Rissa comment and she says, "Do you know him?"

Rissa listens to Evelina's question, she is not too surprised by Evelina's question. That Evelina doesn't know Nox or know Cyril's family. In fact, no one here knows the only son of Cyril's family.

Rissa holding Evelina's arm and looking happy. "As usual you're not interested in anything, except books and music."

"His father was my brother's work partner so as a child I met him a lot," Rissa explained.

"Oh, I see. Are you close to him?" asked Evelina.

"Not, really. Eve, don't get interested in that guy! Even though he's seen smiling, it's just his fake smile and his good nature is just a lie. He's actually a cruel person and has a bad personality," Rissa murmured.

"All right. You're just like my dad," Evelina said with a thin smile.

Midway through Nox's speech, the man suddenly pauses when he sees Evelina. Evelina sees Nox looking at her. "Who did he see? There's no way I am, right? Most just my feelings," Evelina asked in her heart. Then, Nox resumed his speech and it all went smoothly. The students, teachers, and principals were flattered by his speech.

A few hours later...

The ceremony was over, the students scattered themselves. Then, the new students saw the list of classes on the bulletin board. They want to know which class each of them is in. Evelina, who had just come from the toilet, rushed to see her class list. Then, Rissa comes to Evelina after seeing the notice board.

She hugged Evelina. "Eve, thank God we're in class!"

Evelina smiles, she is happy that her first year can be one class with Rissa. Because she is always calm when she is with Rissa who is her own best friend. They went to class, which is grade 1-4.

Arriving at the class, many students crowded and quite crowded in the place. Because in that class, a lot of people are attracting attention. Especially the four men who are in the group, namely Nox Cyril from Cyril family who are very influential in the business world, Lucas Aland is a teenage model who has been famous since childhood, Franss Vessalius is a talented child in the field of IT, and Owen Blouse from a well-known family in the field of medicine.

On the other hand, Larissa Klariss is a Klariss family of famous designers. Not to forget also with the bright brown-eyed girl, although Evelina is fairly simple. She has an IQ of 200 since childhood and she has received many science awards. Not only that, she has a very beautiful appearance. So, no wonder many people like her. Because today is the first day of school so they don't have any lessons, Rissa invites Evelina to go around getting to know the school environment.

"Eve, let's go to the greenhouse! They say that our school has a flower garden and a variety of berries," Rissa said.

"Really? Let's go!" said Evelina while pulling Rissa's hand.

Arriving at the greenhouse, Evelina is amazed to see the flower garden and give it so beautifully. Because Evelina likes strawberries so much, she eats them right away.

"Eve ... what are you eating?" asked Rissa in shock.

"W-What ... this should not be eaten?" asked Evelina with her pale face.

"No, it's okay. Let's see the writing," Rissa said, pointing out the sign.

Evelina was relieved, she thought that her first day would be punished and her face frowned.

"Never mind. I'm just kidding, Eve. I'm sorry!" Rissa says with regret.

"How do we go to the library?" asks Rissa.

Rissa, who knows Evelina likes books, invites her to the library to make amends. Evelina nodded and forgave her for taking her to the library. Arriving at the library, Evelina's eyes twinkle because many books are unique and have never been read at all. Evelina borrows many books, Rissa offers help to Evelina and them while walking. "Eve ... you like books too much. Isn't this too much?" asked Rissa.

"Hmm ... I don't like books, but I like reference material in books that can be researched."

At the time, Nox and Franss were together. They were walking down the school hallway, they were best friends since childhood. Nox is scolding Franss for not playing games while walking down the school hallway. Evelina and Rissa, who are having fun telling me about the book, don't realize there's someone in front of her. So is Nox, who is scolding Franss.

Thud!

Nox and Evelina are hit by each other, Evelina falls along with her book. Rissa rushes and panics to Evelina. "Eve are you okay?" worries Rissa. Evelina nodded that she was fine. On the other hand, Nox sees Evelina fall. Then, he reached out to help her.

"Hey, are you hurt?" asked Nox.

"Yes, I'm okay. I'm sorry," Evelina said, not seeing the road.

"Isn't she that girl? This familiar feeling ... is this girl 'her'?" thought Nox

This familiar feeling Nox felt while holding Evelina and staring at the girl. Later, Evelina wakes up and she stands up, after falling. Nox saw her face similar to the one he knew and mentioned her name. "Evelina?" called Nox.

Nox still holds her hand, they stare at each other. Then came the nostalgic feeling he missed, when looking at each other.

CONTINUED...

Evelina looks confused because Nox knows her name. In fact, they have not known or met each other.

"Do you know me? Not ... have we met before?" asked Evelina to Nox.

Nox hears the words, he slowly releases Evelina's hand. At that moment, Rissa only realizes that the person who hit her best friend is Nox Cyril.

"NOXXX!!! What did you do to my Eve?" cried Rissa.

"My Eve?" said Nox. Then the man turned to his side, when someone was calling. He was surprised when he saw in front of him a girl he knew. "Rissa?" said Nox as he looked at Rissa in astonishment.

"Yes, it's me!" insisted Rissa.

At that time, Nox ignored her and left Rissa without saying a word.

"Hey! Apologize before you go!" said Rissa.

Evelina nods her head and she tells Rissa that she's okay. After all, it's her fault for not seeing the road and having someone in front of her earlier. Franss is still standing and near Evelina, he goes straight to Evelina and he apologizes for Nox's disrespectful treatment.

"I'm sorry, has made you fall," Franss said.

"He's not good at apologizing to other people, but he's a good person," he explained to Evelina.

"Franss ... you're here too!" said Rissa.

"Of course, who else can look after or handle the man? Wkwk," Franss said.

"Oh yes, I stayed first. Bye-bye Rissa ... and Evelina," he said.

Franss leaves Rissa with Evelina, after Nox and calls him because he has been abandoned by Nox ever since.

"Hey Nox! Why did you leave me alone?" shouted Franss.

Evelina is surprised by the man's remarks, as Franss learns her name. In fact, they have never met at all. Rissa realizes that Evelina looks confused, explains it to Evelina.

"Franss Vessalius, he's an easy man to remember anything. Although, once seen and also he was the youngest son of the Family Vessalius of the Company Swath."

"Swath Company? Isn't that ...," Evelina said.

"Right, a worldwide company in the field of technology that has been famous from the past until now," replied Rissa. "It doesn't matter, let's go back to class!" Rissa asked Evelina.

"Oh, right!" said Evelina.

While walking with the book, Evelina realizes that Nox seems to know her and it appears that the man wants to say something to her. However, it was not said by the man. Evelina also realizes that before Nox left, his facial expression looked sad when she looked at her.

"Have we ever met? I don't think so ... before that, I had never had a man friend as a child. Well ... but I think there were some male friends at the time," Evelina thought.

After that, they finally got to their class. Shortly thereafter, the school bell rang.

Ding...dong...

Although today there are no school lessons, but they have to introduce themselves before that. Rissa and Evelina sit on them bench, Evelina realizes that there are Nox and Franss in their class. After that, there is a man with dark gray hair with a navy blue eye color. He came and entered the class, he immediately introduced himself as a homeroom teacher 1-4.

"My name is Kyle Xerxes. Just call me Mr. Kyle, I teach maths and also as your homeroom teacher, please cooperate!" said Mr. Kyle.

After that, Mr. Kyle asked his students to introduce themselves to the first one at the end of the window, namely Nox Cyril and Franss Vessalius.

"Nox Cyril from Izles Junior High," smiles Nox.

"Franss Vessalius from Izles Junior High School too, greetings know all!" exclaimed Franss.

The disciples began whispering to each other, when the popular men introduced themselves.

"Franss is Nox's best friend. He has a cute nature that is in contrast to Nox," whispered student A.

"Right, despite his cute nature he's a talented kid in the field of technology. Since childhood has won many awards as well," said student B.

Then, followed by the introduction of two men who are no less famous and influential in this city.

"Owen Blouse... from Anwerd Junior High School, greetings know everyone," he said kindly.

"Lucas Aland, Anwed Junior High School," Lucas said briefly.

When Rissa sees her class situation, she sits down and leans back. She saw the men crossing her hands.

"Well our class is really surrounded by famous men," Rissa smirked.

Evelina smiled thinly and she said, "That's right."

Seeing Evelina's smile, Rissa, who was sitting next to her, amazed her and said, "But, I'm not interested in them. Hmph!"

After everyone finishes introducing themselves, all that's left is the two girls. They introduced themselves to their classmates.

"Larissa Klariss from Vanth Junior High School," said Rissa

Everyone is impressed by her gorgeous look with long blackish brown hair unravelling.

"Evelina Caroline from Vanth Junior High, greetings know everyone," she greets kindly with a smile.

Their classmates began to whisper something again, when the two girls introduced themselves.

"Larissa Klariss isn't she the daughter of a world-renowned designer? And also Evelina Caroline who earned many awards when in Elementary and Junior High School in Science and Math competitions in a row," said student C.

"Right, I've heard it too that she has an IQ of 200," said student B.

"And also I listened ... she went to high school on a scholarship from the school board. She is also a friend of Larissa Klariss since childhood," among students D.

"No wonder she looks familiar with Rissa and also many who like her," explained student A.

After the students had finished introducing themselves, the homeroom teacher told the students that today is an empty hour. So, they are now free of subject hours. Later, Mr. Kyle left his class.

After a few hours later...

3:00pm

In the afternoon, the bright color of the sky began to fade. There was a man standing and staring at the view in front of him while waiting for the day to set. Nox was on the roof of the school and rested his hand at the base of the stairwell fence, he stood alone near the stairs thinking of something. At that interval, Franns appears and he comes to Nox. He patted Nox on the shoulder and asked what Nox was doing alone on the roof.

"Nox what are you doing here?" asked Franss.

Nox doesn't answer a word of his question and Franns asks him again.

"Do you think she's that girl?"

Nox sighed, when he heard the question from his best friend and he answered the question.

"I think so ... when I held her hand, this familiar feeling that I felt at the time," Nox said while looking at his palm.

"Isn't she a very important person to you? So, you have to protect her this time," Franss said with a smile.

Franss also sees Nox that he smiles a little listening to the words of his best friend. Franss was relieved to see Nox smiling again, meaning he smiled a lot but it was all just a fake smile that he showed to others.

On the other hand, Evelina and Rissa are still in class. Evelina who is still dissolved in reading her book seriously while listening to music. Meanwhile, Rissa accompanies Evelina while reading a book as well. Rissa who looks bored she squirms and talks to Evelina.

"Eve... How many hours have you read a book?" asked Rissa.

"Wait a minute this is only three books ...," said Evelina casually.

Rissa stares at Evelina while supporting her cheeks. "Isn't this too boring? Read a lot of books ...,"

Evelina closes her book and sees her watch. "Oh right, it's late," Evelina said, as she stood up from her chair.

Ding...Dong...

The school bell also rings which indicates it's time to go home to each of them.

Evelina puts her book in her bag and takes Rissa home. After that, they have reached near the ginkgo tree at their school. At that time, Rissa remembers that she had left her wallet in her desk drawer. She asks Evelina to wait for her for a while, Evelina nods her head. Then, Rissa has left in front of Evelina. The girl while waiting for Rissa, she leaned under the ginkgo tree.

Ginkgo leaves begin to fall slowly, because of the strong wind. It was until the long brownish-black hair that unraveled was wiped as well, because the water was blowing fast. Evelina also holds her hair so that it does not fall apart and attaches her fine hair to her earlobes.

In between scenes, there was a silvery-haired man approaching the girl. Evelina realizes Nox's presence and looks at her, they stare at each other.

"Have we ever met before?" she asked Nox gently. The girl's gaze goes to Nox Cyril.

Continued...

Evelina asks Nox and he answers, "Actually, I ...."

By then, Rissa was back after she took her wallet. Then, Rissa immediately approaches Evelina and calls her. "Eve!"

****

~ Flashback ~

After a few minutes later...

After all this time, Rissa finally finds her wallet. Then, she returns to Evelina's place that her best friend is waiting for her. Rissa walks up to her and she stops from her path, when she sees Evelina with a man. She walks slowly unnoticed by the two of them and Rissa realizes that the man is a very well known person to her. "Nox?"

"What is he doing with Eve? Does he want to get close to Eve??" panicked Rissa. She immediately rushed to Evelina.

~ End of flashback ~

****

Rissa pretends to see Nox at the time. At the moment, she turns toward Nox and pretends to be surprised when she sees him.

"HEY NOX!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" cried Rissa to Nox.

"Hey! Why are you yelling at me? I'm just waiting for a boy," Nox said angrily.

"DO YOU THINK I WILL BE-" Rissa said.

On the sidelines of Rissa's talk, there came a man who approached Nox, namely Franss Vessalius. Franss who ran he looked tired and said, "Nox so-sorry it's been a long time waiting ... I thought you'd leave me alone." Franss breathlessly while talking to Nox.

"You took a long time! I've been waiting for hours and almost been attacked by a monster," Nox said.

"Monster?" asked Rissa and Frans at the same time

Franss realizes that there are Rissa and Evelina here, he is unconscious because he was too tired from running earlier.

"We meet again! Evelina ... Rissa!" said Franss.

Evelina replies to a greeting from Franss, while Rissa ignores him. Evelina is understanding that Rissa is upset with Nox and she persuades her to go home soon.

"Rissa, let's go home!" asks Evelina.

"Right, than I'm talking to this rancid boy!" said Rissa while staring at Nox.

Then, Evelina says goodbye to the two of them. "We go first, be careful on street! Nox ... Franss!"

Evelina and Rissa have left them both and Rissa while holding Evelina's arm. Rissa, who looks sticky to Evelina, makes Franss talk. "Look! Rissa's behavior is so sticky to Evelina," said Franss with his eyes coded for Nox

Tin... tin...

At that moment, Nox heard a honking sound from his pickup and he took Franss.

"Come on, we go home!" he said. Then, they both got into Nox's car and the car starts moving.

On the other hand, Evelina and Rissa arrive at their home. Rissa finally releases Evelina's arm. They said goodbye to each other and stretched out their hands. At that time, Evelina fell silent and she did not reply to Rissa's words saying goodbye to her. She said, "Rissa ... No-" But Evelina didn't ask Rissa.

"No? What?" asked Rissa.

Evelina she shook her head and she said it was nothing. Evelina wanted to tell her something, but it wasn't. Rissa is aware of that. But Rissa just smiles at Evelina. Then, they enter each other's homes and Evelina sighs that looks tired.

"I'm home...," Evelina said to her mother.

Evelina's mother replied to Evelina's greeting and told her to take a shower because they were going to dinner soon. After finishing the bath, Evelina dries her wet hair. Evelina pulled a book out of her bag that she borrowed earlier in the school library.

BAM!!!

The thumping sound of the book she put on her desk, sounded very loud because the book was quite heavy and thick. Evelina checks the book and she realizes that she borrowed so much. She didn't expect that the books borrowed by her were enough. So, no wonder Rissa commented on this morning.

"Let's see what books I just borrowed ...," murmured while sorting out the book.

"There's a Sherlock Holmes novel, Her Last Word, A Time Return, ... and finally you're my butterfly?"

When Evelina wants to open the book, she is suddenly called by her mother to dinner and she closes back the book "You're My Butterfly". Evelina comes out of her room and heads to her dining room, where Evelina's father and mother are waiting for her to eat together. After Evelina got to the dinner table she noticed that the dinner menu was a bit fancy and said to her mother.

"Mom ... isn't this too much?" asked Evelina.

"No, because today is your first day as a high school student. So we have to celebrate," said Evelina's mother.

"But ...," said Evelina.

"That's right, your mom's words. After all, you went to a flagship school that only rich and smart people could attend. I think it's amazing because the entrance exams are very difficult," her father said.

"It's not like you get a scholarship, so it doesn't matter," said her mother while looking at Evelina.

When listening to her parents' words, Evelina cannot refuse offers from her mother and father. She accepts the offer, Evelina who feels uncomfortable with her parents. Because her family's finances were simple, she accepted it because her mother had cooked rib soup. Then, the girl sits in her chair and eats the diner cooked by her mother.

After finishing the meal, Evelina tidying up the plates and cleans it. Her father who is reading the newspaper while sitting down, he asks his daughter about her first day of high school life how. "Hmm ... the school environment is good and people look friendly," Evelina replied.

Hearing Evelina's answer, the father looks calm. But at the time, Evelina was still continuing to say what she was saying.

"Oh yes! In my class it seems like a lot of people from famous families ...," she continued.

The father looked agitated and asked hesitantly, "Are they a girl?"

"Of course, not. Because my school is a public high school and in my class there is a famous model if I'm not mistaken ... Lucas Aland?" explained Evelina in wonder.

The father heard his daughter's words shocked until the newspaper he read fell.

"Honey! Our daughter is friend with a man!" he said looking at his wife.

"Isn't that natural? Our daughter is a teenager," his wife replied.

Her father wants to advise his daughter, but when he wants to talk to Evelina. She's not in the dining room any more, that Evelina has been in her room ever since.

"Sigh ... that girl," squealed her father.

Evelina who was already in her room was sighing, because she knew for sure her father's nagging must be long enough when it comes to men. She sat at her chair that she wanted to read a book, she didn't have time to read since earlier. She opens a page on the novel "You're My Butterfly" feeling familiar when looking and holding it.

"I think ... I've read this book somewhere, but I don't really remember," she thought.

After reading the book for hours and a half from "You're My Butterfly", she saw her wall clock showing that it was almost late at night. She went to bed and the girl turned off the lights. By then, Evelina had laid herself on her bed and she was thinking about something.

"The butterfly makes the life of the person closest to her become more colorful, but one day she suddenly disappears in the life of someone else," she explained.

"It's sad, it must be the people closest to her feel sad. When someone of value suddenly disappears, it hurts a lot. Never give it up! I'd better just sleep."

Then, the girl began to close her eyes after thinking a lot about the novel read by her earlier. The girl ended up asleep and dissolved in her sleep.

At that time, Evelina was in the trees like a park. She saw boys and girls joking around. Suddenly, the little boy disappeared and the sky was so dark and it rained. Then, Evelina sees a man in a junior high school uniform, the man standing in the pouring rain. He touched the tree crying and he said, "I miss you, where are you?"

At that moment, Evelina walks slowly that she approaches the man and holds his shoulder. The man turned to her and said to Evelina with a thin smile.

"I miss you, Eve ...,"

Evelina is shocked to see the man find out her name and she wakes up. She realized that what she saw was just a dream and said, "Who is that man?"
