The 9th Grade Story

DARI PENULIS:

Gaaak, posting kali ini bukan tentang cerita semasa kelas 9 tapiiii cerita yang gue bikin buat tugas bahasa inggris Ms. Lilia -_- Just for fun, and sorry if i made mistakes, maaf juga kalo ceritanya terlalu maksa. Just for fun, k? Deal.

 

In this modern era, there lived a girl named Thalia Hannabel. She was a 14-year-old-girl. And she died in that year too. So tragic and ironic.

I'll tell you about her story...

Everybody treated her as a star, as if she was the magnet of the middle school, even this in small town. She was almost perfect. But, this multitalented school girl had a cocky attitude and was so selfish.

New term of the school just began and the bell rang just a few minute ago, which insisted the students to go to their classes.

Thalia was on 93. Before Mr. Ree came to the class, as usual, students made noises.

“Okay class. Be quite please,” finally this 50-year-old-man came and calmed the class down.

“i'll start this day by knowing you in person.” he said

The students started to moan “aaaah!”

“Hey quite please. Listen. I do not want to know about your basic information or about where do you live and stuff,” students listened at him seriously.

“I want you to talk about yourself. I mean, who are you and what do you look like. For example, my name is Ree and i'm cool.”

Students gave that art teacher weird looks.

Thalia was the most of popular students and she was so confident. She got the first chance to talk about herslef in front of the class.

“My name is Thalia. I'm popular, smart, funny, pretty and very confident because why i have to hide myself? I'm perfect!” said Thalia proudly. And that proved why people thought she was so cocky, selfish and stubborn. But, yes, she was so funny.

“But, nobody is perfect!” protested the one of the students there

“And i'm nobody! So, i'm perfect, arent i?” joked Thalia and suddenly the class fulled of laugh, even Mr. Ree.

“How about your motto, Ms. Hannabel?” asked Mr.Ree

“My motto is wearing glasses is as ashamed as ordering a wing of a chicken katsu. Haha.”

When the bell rang, which was the sign of breaktime, Thalia and her 2 popular friends, Melly and Ina, went out the class with guys stared at them full of adoreness along their way to the canteen.

“Your lunch is a carrot salad. Are you serious about your motto?” Asked Melly and Ina.

“I know i'm funny but i wasnt joking about that!” Asserted Thalia.

They chose to eat on the corner table. Melly and Ina bought the same lunch, egg sandwiches.

“Don't you see those dork people?” Thalia gave her disgusted stare at the table of a bunch of science freaks. They were all wearing glasses.

“Yeah, they look smart. Even if you are smart and pretty.” Melly, who wasn't confident and cocky as Thalia, actually didn't agree with Thalia's motto.

“What's the problem with it? I mean, wearing glasses. Not a big deal i think.” Shouted Ina, agreeing Melly's mind.

“Well, whatever. Their eyes are their weaknesses! I mean, don't they keep their eyes healthy? Anyway, I will never use glasses because I know my eyesight will be fine forever.”

“Whatever you're so selfish!” Yelled Melly and Ina at the same time.

Secretly, the boys on the table next to them heard about their conversation. They had an idea to punk the girls.

The one of the boys named Carl which was the guy that Thalia hated the most came to Thalia's table.

“Hey you dumb! Don't you see how beautiful the sun is? Beat me how long you can stare at the sun. Naked eyes!” Shouted Carl and it made almost all the people would see their competition.

Thalia had never ignored Carl's challenge so far, she would't break her record. “Start now, loser!” She shouted.

Melly had tried to warn Thalia about accepting that competition. “Thalia... It will..”

“I will be the winner!” Shouted Thalia bravely.

“No! Stop it Thalia! No!!!” And so Ina had tried to stop this selfish girl.

1, 2, 3! Go!

Thalia and Carl started to stare at the sun with their naked eyes.

Students were yelling at them which was mean to support the leader of 2 bastions of 75's middle school.

1.. 2.. 3...

5 seconds..

10...

almost 30 seconds..

And Carl gave up. ' You're the winner Thalia! But prove it if you're the true winner by keep staring at the sun till 1 minute! Prove it if you're the winner of everything!'

She should stop staring at the sun because it would burn her eyes, she should realize what Carl did to get her into his trap. But then, Thalia shook her head up and down which was mean she accept the next challenge.

As Carl was so even smarter than Thalia, He had scheme to make Thalia's eyes burn and her eyesight blur and insist her to wear glasses. But Thalia was so emotional, she would do anything to be a winner, especially to beat Carl. Carl actually Thalia's ex-boyfriend. No reason why were they broke up but since that they were enemies.

50 seconds already...

Thalia's eyes felt so weird. Burnt.

But she kept staring at the sun.

1 minute...

Carl thought a minute staring at the summer sun was enough to destroy Thalia's eyesight, he didn't want her to blind at all.

“Whoaaa!!!! Hey all! Thalia is the winner of everything!” Screamed Carl to inform the canteen. He kneed for Thalia.

“I am, since i was born.” Said Thalia proudly. But her eyes did feel weird. Felt burn. Her eyesight was blur and there was like a white light everywhere. For a second, she couldn't walk properly.

“Are you ok Thal?” Ask Ina

“Yeah, no...” Answered Thalia.

Carl thought his scheme had work on Thalia's eyesight. He and all people there disperse to their classes as the bell rang.

Since that competition, Thalia's eyesight blured and it was meant that Thalia had to wear glasses.

“Oh poor me! Why did I have to stare at the sun like that! Now, I think I have to wear glasses. Oh no! My life is over. I will never have any friend to talk, to walk, to live. This town will never accept me. Oh i feel so ashame though I never ordered a wing of chicken katsu.” Cried Thalia when she reached home. She phoned both of her bestfriends, Melly and Ina to visit her house.

“Hey Thalia. Tonight you have to visit the doctor i think. Cool! You're going to wear glasses!”

“Melly, Ina, please be my friends. I know i'm ashamed as i will wear those dumb glasses. But, please, don't leave me.”

“What are you talking about Thalia? We won't break our friendship just becuase you wear glasses. Omigod you're to over!” Yelled Ina.

“Yeah! Right! Nobody will leave you. Fine if you wear glasses.” Said Melly more softly than Ina who seemed like she would really kill Thalia –who acted as her life was really over. Oh seriously. It was just.. glasses. 

“Please don't talk like that if in the end you will leave me. I bet, as you girls leave my house, you leave our friendship!” Cried Thalia with those puppy eyes to her friends.

“Well, i think, we should give you time to think. Bye.”

Melly and Ina couldn't understand what was on Thalia's mind. It was fine with them if Thalia wears glasses.

The next day, Thalia went school with her new glasses. It wasn't that bad but Thalia acted as she was the only poor girl in this world. It made Melly and Ina tired. So they got an idea to punish what Thalia had acted out. They pretended to ignore Thalia. And it was really just a pretending.

Day by day, Melly and Ina were too much. They seemed forget about their friendship with Thalia, yeah it was because Thalia was really annoying. She was almost crying all the time, complaing about her glasses and talking like she will meet God tonight. She did like a mad. Thalia wasn't popular anymore. It wasn't because she wore glasses but because she acted so crazy. Cried and other frustating stuff.

Thalia was so desperate. One day she asked her brother what should she do.

“Why don't you wear the contact lenses?”

“Yeah!” Thalia had never figured it out. Now, she got it!

The next day she woke up, it was 7 o'clock already which was mean she would be late for school.

She didn't take a bath, just got her uniform, and took her backpack.  “Bye mom! I go! And don’t forget to tell those dumb maids to clean my room! Oh seriously, they are dumb because they can’t even kiss their elbows. Just kidding! Anyway, they are dumb, ugly, and poor! Oh man! Hahaha.” Shouted her with a devil laugh, as she got her sandwich to be eaten in her way to school.

When she reached one block from her house, as her school was 3 blocks more, she remembered something. “Ah! I've got this from my brother! I should wear this so I won't look like those dumb people who wear glasses mwahahaha!” She opened the case of her contact lenses and she took one and when it was just 1 cm until she could put it on her right eye, suddenly a bark of a dog  suprised Thalia and it made her right forfinger's sharp-and-artistic-nail jabed her right brown eye. “Aw! My nail! My nail jabbed my eye!!! Wow! It's sooo... AW SOMEBODY HELP ME!”

Poor Thalia, nobody even could hear her voice. And when she held her eye in pain, a ball hitted her head and she felll down to the middle of the street. Thalia looked like a mad people, held her head and eyes with both of her hands while crying and rolling with painfulness in the middle of the road. It was too sick to notice the  horn of a big bus. Oops, if she heard it though, she couldn't stand up. Remember! She jabbed her right eye with her sharp right forfinger and a ball hitted her head so hard. The bus driver had blew the horn and tried to stop the gas but he couldn’t because it seemed like the car was broken and the gas couldn’t be stopped. It was a meter again until the bus land on Thalia, and she was still crying and rolling in the middle of the road. AND... the bus landed on Thalia.

The bus driver stopped to check Thalia’s condition. Thalia looked so awful. She died in her condition still holding her eyes and head. Her face gave a look of painfulness. Blood came from her head, eyes, and armpits.

The bus driver was so confuse and terrified. He was afraid if the polices think  he killed Thalia deliberately. At last, the bus driver decided to take Thalia’s dead body home and cleaned it. And the next thing was he fried it and ate it because he had not eaten yet for 3 days. No breakfast, no lunch, no dinner, then fried-dead-body seemed so close with fried chicken.

3 days after the bus driver had eaten Thalia's dead body. The polices found a dead body on the bus driver's house. And actually, that was the bus driver's dead body.

A week after that. Carl, who was giving Thalia the challenge to stare at the sun and made Thalia's eyesight blured, Melly and Ina, who were pretending to ignore Thalia, their dead bodies were found by the polices in the same time but in different places.

And until now, no one knows where Thalia had been dissapear for years (while actually her dead body had been eaten by the bus driver), and no one knows why were the bus driver, Carl, Melly and Ina died. No one knows. So, watch out for Thalia's ghost! Her cocky attitude had been blind her eyesight actually since she was born. And also, her selfishness who actually killed herself.***
