When Jonathan Meet Erin
We Are the Same

The hp notification reads, hp in his pants pocket is taken but before he could see the contents of the message, first the basketball wants to hit him if he does not manage to catch. One hand holds the ball while the other holds the hp. Looks Jo is quite expert and alert.

"Elo the new kid, right ? Let's play." Shut up for a moment until Andika comes and does not know what they are talking to her cousin.

"What's wrong, jan on birth yes I am aduin later." He pointed to give a warning, before his om who is also his father Jo has advised that Jo not to make trouble at school and Andika must supervise.

"Don't be a sissy." Said one of the men who challenged Jo, dear words that had just been thrown seemed to ignite Jo's emotions to accept, he wanted to fight this anyway not a violent way of playing basketball for a while.

"Jo don't be rash." Andika confronted but ignored by Jonathan to accept the challenge. They are on the basketball court and people around notice because the one who challenges Jonathan is the school's superior basketball player whereas Jonathan is the viral new kid in school.

"It must be exciting." One of the girls from the same class as the basketball player commented and happened to be heard by Erin and Rani, curious about what happened.

"What's up ?." Rani asks after previously seeing Jonathan and Andika who are in the field by being watched by almost all school students.

"Our school basketball player versus that handsome new kid, must be exciting."

Erin and Rani notice but Erin's hand is not still, she squeezes her fingers spontaneously and unconsciously while seeing if only playing basketball is not a physical fight with violence.

While the one on the watch was smiling next to her, she felt challenged by people who said they were new children and the target of popular girls at school. It will be proven if the man in front of him only good looks but other than that there is nothing to be proud of. "If you want to back off please, before it's too late."

"Don't underestimate anyone before you're embarrassed." Jonathan.

Andika was there, she wanted to drag Jonathan off the field but seeing Jo who looked serious was impossible. And two against one will certainly be difficult to win, so that's why he will help, unfortunately the students even watch and perpetuate through vidio.

"Lo didn't go ?." Whisper Jonathan to Andika next to him.

"Udah already wet, if you face them themselves will lose, thank you lo same I ntar." His word.

The game began basketball in the control of the opposing team, Andika stormed and the game got hotter. The scorching sun burned the four of them in the field, sweat pouring out. The difference in close numbers makes the four of them will win this game.

Long enough they played and getting hotter, fatigue approached and the game in the last seconds won by Andika and Jo. The opponent did not accept and was reluctant when Jo invited the shaman but the game ended and inevitably there was only one winner.

"I'm so tired." Andika cried and threw cold mineral water he caught suddenly. Searching for the source of the thrower turns out to be Rani and Erin yann approaching after all the spectators left.

Erin gave it directly to Jo as well as a handkerchief to wipe the sweat, the faces of the two cousins look reddish in the hot sun. "You like the challenge, what about you who lost ?."

"Lose you have to accept, no matter what." Said.

"Your video playing basketball has been recorded and viral, get ready to become a school celebrity." Now it was Rani's turn to comment.

Andika who does not understand Rani's intentions can only smile, but every thing is good and for Rani will be a problem if they are too famous.

"Shit up." Rani goes to class, she leaves the three of them and they catch up with Rani to quickly enter before the teacher teaches.

Under a shady tree that many students fear, Jo instead feels comfortable in ana and will rest there while eating food that has previously been wrapped from the canteen.

It turned out that he had been someone first and that person was Erin herself who was his classmate. As usual the girl could not be far from the book.

"This is my place, you'll have permission to sit here." Jo smiled as well as Erin who realized it was serious and just a joke.

"How much do I have to pay, it seems expensive because this place is too comfortable."

"You're not afraid that there's a tree-waiter that's gonna give you goosebumps and freaks ?." Said Jonathan while sitting in front of Erin, looking for the most comfortable place while opening the lid of the canned drink.

"The only waiter for this tree is you."

And they laughed, Jo saw this time Erin did not read a book about the lesson but a novel from one of the famous writer's series.

"You read this book as well."

"You like it too ?." Erin stared in disbelief that they were reading the same book and perhaps their other tastes were the same.

"Yes I don't like the middle part, the main character goes and comes back with a new character, too unfair." Jo commented on the book he had read but did not arrive at the end, only stopping in the middle because the storyline he did not like.

"You take it easy, they'll be together at the end, I've read this book the third time and if I'm done it will be the fourth time, I didn't expect that Jonathan would read romance."

Jo laughed discordantly, he looked at Erin softly even though his lips were smiling. "This is the last book my mother read before she died, I wonder what book she likes to read, but after reading it in the middle I feel the storyline is more or less the same as my fate, at the nearest someone's residence but the difference is, I'm for good."

"You know every book will not always be beautiful in the beginning or middle but who knows the happiness is at the end, but for the real world there will always be happiness even if only for a short time or a long time too much sadness first." Erin held onto Jonathan's shoulder, as if giving him the strength to face life without comparing it to the world of novels.

"My father died when I graduated from elementary school, and I felt like I wanted to die, but my mother's grief made me realize that it wasn't just me who was feeling sad but other people were, too, at that time my mother tried to get up on her own and I think I should be able to because my mother lived with my father longer, so my mother's grief must have been greater than mine."

"You know when I tell you about my mother who died, usually, everyone looks at me with pity and I don't like that look because I feel sorry for it when it's not necessary so I don't want to talk about it, I'm glad I could talk to you."

"It seems like our lives are more or less the same, I also prefer to be encouraged rather than fixed with a look of pity and pity."
