Chemistry

It was her again. Just her. Nothing more, that could take up so much time and space in his brain. Space that was supposed to be filled with facts and figures for the following day's chemistry exam. But no. It was her.

Chemistry

Just how long ago had it been since he'd first met her? They were both young back then. And only inquisitive enough to find out each others' names. That was years ago. She'd just been another classmate. A quite annoying one, Nathan had to admit, but he had enough grace to let her alone with her giggly girl friends, while he spent his time with his friends, discussing work and things, like good grown-up boys do. But he'd soon come to realize that she was not so different from him as he'd thought. She also worked, and woke up at ungodly hours of the morning for interviews on topics girls her age should not even come into contact with. Did she have a choice? No more than he did, and that was none.

Then the years just skipped away like round stones on water, until it hit a dead stop at the bottom of the pond, which is where Nathan assumed he was stuck now, lest he grab a shovel and start digging himself even deeper. Somehow, he didn't think that was possible.

He shook his head, trying to empty it of the thoughts he knew full well he ought not to have, but could he help them? About just as much as one could help the rain to stop.

"Goddamnit… this is useless." He threw down the pencil in his hand. It clattered away across his desk. His hands automatically went to his forehead, shielding his eyes from the piercing light of his desk lamp. A light buzzing interrupted his fierce self-flagellation. Grabbing his phone from the drawer, Nathan looked at the display screen.

"New Mail. Sender: Sophie"

Nathan's breath caught in his chest. Her.

Flipping the phone open with much more enthusiasm than he'd displayed in the last 5 hours, he read the message.

'Dear Nathan, 

I was wondering if you could help me study for the Chemistry test tomorrow. I'm not very good at it, and I know you always get top marks. m(_ _)m I know you're busy, but I really need help.

Please? (^o^)/

Thanks in advance,
Sophie' 

A smirk spread across Nathan's face as he looked up at the Chemistry text book lying before him. Quickly texting her back with a 'Hn. No problem. Let's meet at the Coffee Shop.', Nathan grabbed his bag, shoved the textbook into it and almost tripped his way down the stairs.

And as Nathan hugged the textbook tightly to his chest, he realized just how much he loved Chemistry all along.

Plans, Wishes, Regards

HEY! Selamat tahun baru 2012 semuaaaaah!
How's your new year's eve holiday?
 

Pasti seru. Nggak kayak liburan saya yang cuma bengong di rumah, download anime-anime yang udah di list entah kapan, terus ngeliat fire flower dari lantai atas rumah. Huuufffttt.

Bukan bermaksud ngeluh sih, aslinya malah jadi lebih ter-organisir liburan di rumah tuh. Bisa lebih fokus untuk membuat planning tentang berbagai hal yang harus di tuntaskan tahun depan, bisa untuk kumpul sama keluarga, bisa punya banyak waktu untuk belajar banyak hal! Dan viola~ saya sekarang bisa masak nasi goreng sama spaghetti sendiri tanpa bantuan mama loooh! Saya juga sekarang mulai membiasakan diri untuk ngepel, nyuci piring, dan kawan-kawannya selama mbak Sih nggak ada. Hihihi. Amazing, kan? Beneran deh, berat badan ngilang 4 kilo selama liburan ini. Entah mau seneng atau sedih. -__-

Oh ya, ngomong-ngomong tentang new year, ada beberapa wish dan ucapan-ucapan terimakasih yang nempel di otak. Tulis disini ah~

[♥] Pengen lebih dewasa. Iya lebih dewasa. Ngerasa banget kalo saya tuh masih kekanak-kanakan. Masih manja, nggak sabar, suka paranoid sendiri, egois, cerewet, sradak-sruduk sana-sini, dan lain-lain yang sangat tidak lady-like. :'(

[♥] Pengen lebih taat sama Yang Maha Kuasa. Ya Allah, maafin Ayu yang tahun lalu masih bolong-bolong sholatnya, ngajinya, amalnya. I'll try my best in this year!

[♥] Makin banyak waktu sama keluarga.
Sama mama terutama, yang sibuk banget sama urusan kantornya. Meski pun sebenernya saya aja yang terlalu sibuk sendiri. Hauahahaha.
Buat ayah, kangeeeen banget ngeliat beliau. Banget! (aduh jadi nangis gue) Iya tau saya anak yang kurang berbakti. Semoga di tahun yang baru ini bisa lebih sering mampir ke rumah ayah ya.
Oh ya, saya juga pengen lebih akur sama kakak cowok. Abis malu kan, kita sama-sama udah dewasa tapi tiap kumpul masih beranteeeem mulu kayak kucing sama anjing.

[♥] Dompet menebal. HAHAHA

[♥] For someone named Ijosh. HEY YOU MY TIMEZOONE! Semoga tahun baru ini kita bisa berburu kecoak lagi ya. Tahan-tahan denger teriakan 5 oktaf saya. Saya juga kangen liat kamu main PES, juga kangen balapan makan mie ayam(oke, meski kalah terus sih). Kita akur-akur ya. Kamu bromance terbaik yang saya miliki kok :')

[♥] Hyo dan Yuu. IH! Makasih banget chuyunkz buat semuanya di tahun lalu. Kita tahun ini harus lebih kompak, oke?! *ciumin satu-satu*

[♥] Winterblossom Anthology Project, LANCAR! Kak Blekpepi, Kak Luthi, Ai-nee, Koko, Kak Cia, Kak Nesya, Nazla, dan blossoms lainnya... taun ini kita berjuang ya! OSH!

[♥] Buat para blossoms yang pernah saya temui *alah* Kak Luthi, Kak Cia, Kak Ria, Kak Aya, Kak Dilia, Kak Zarra, Uccy, Natsu, Debby, Koko, Afi, Gina, dan lain-lain(bukannya ga mau nulis, TAPI GUE LUPA UDAH KETEMU SIAPA AJA! DD: /plak). Terus buat Sakamoto. Buat semua anak FFn, yang pastinya terlalu banyak untuk disebutkan. Buat semuanya, tahun ini nggak buat kita putus komunikasi ya. Makin kompak, makin keren, makin kece… hahaha. Love you guys. A lot.

[♥] Temen-temen X-5 semuaaa. Kita akan berpisah dan mencar-mencar entah kemana. Tapi harapannya, walau kita pisah, kita tetep kompak dan gila ya! Wanna make a thousand memory with you guys! Terus buat temen-temen SMP dulu, morfin, gomen ne saya jarang ikut kegiatan dan acara kalian. Padahal saya kangen banget sama kalian dan suasana kelas kita duluu... huhu.

[♥] Sora-senpai, tetep jadi kecengan saya ya! Yang langeng juga ama mbak judes. Saya tau kok meski mbak-mbak itu judes dan mutungan, senpai sayang dia sepenuh hati #eaaa

[♥] Nilai gueh makin naek, please. Pengen lewat jalur PMDK ya Allah. Nggak mau ngerepotin orang tua.

[♥] Tambah segala-galanya. Yang baik-baik tentunya! Saya pengen semua di tahun 2012 lebih baik dari tahun 2011 lalu.

[♥] Oke saya tau saya tuh terlalu paranoid. Saya aslinya juga nggak mau percaya, TAPI PLEASE JANGAN KIAMAT TAHUN INI. ;w; *brb nangis*
Saya tau kiamat tuh bisa datang kapan aja, tapi tolong jangan kiamat selama saya hidup dong ya. Saya masih pengen nyari pahala, nikmatin hidup, terus masih pengen nikah, punya anak. Beneran sumpah gue paranoid!

Udah ah. Segitu aja.
