 (There is a new scholar at Nommensen University. It’s the first time for her in the campus. She is on 4th semester.)

Sir Andi         : Good morning. How do you feel today?

All students   : Morning, Sir. We are fine, Sir.

                         How about you, Sir?

Sir Andi          : I’m very good. I have good news for you today.

All students     : What is that, Sir?

Sir Andi          : Wait a second. I will show you.

                          Come over here, dear.

  (Someone comes into the classroom)

Sir Andi          : She is a new scholar in this group. She will be your friend in this group for now and so on.

Raju                 : Wow. She looks beautiful.

Inka                 : I agree with you, Raju.

Dahlia              : I think so.

Novita             : I think there is nothing special on her. (With flat face)

Sir Andi          : Be quiet! Give your attention for her.

                          Please, introduce yourself, dear.

Yeshinta          : Yes, Sir. Hello friends.

I’m Yeshinta Karsten. Before I come to this campus, I was a scholar of Nommensen University in Medan. I move here because I got a scholarship from our regent with a requirement, that is I should be a student university of this campus.

Sir Andi          : Congratulation. (Claps his hands)

                          You are lucky, dear.

Yeshinta          : Thank you, Sir.

Sir Andi          : Well. Please, take a seat wherever that you want.

Yeshinta          : Yeah, Sir.

Sir Andi          : Now, we will start our lesson. Open your book at page 30. What topic is               about?

Inka                 : It’s about “Recount Text”, Sir.

Sir Andi          : You are right, Inka.

                          By the way, do you have a book, Yeshinta?

Yeshinta          : No, I don’t.

Sir Andi          : Well, you can look at Novita’s book.

Novita             : I’m sorry, Sir. I can’t share my book.

Sir Andi          : Why?

Novita             : It’s because I’m difficult to see something far.

Sir Andi          : Oh, I see. So, who wants to share the book for her?

Inka                 : You can get my book, Yeshinta. Dahlia will share her book to me.

Yeshinta          : Really? Thank you so much.

Dahlia              : Don’t mention it.

Sir Andi          : Okay, we go on the subject. Who knows what a recount text is?

Yeshinta          : Recount text is a text that explains about event which happened in the past, Sir.

Sir Andi          : Good. So, what tense should we use in Recount Text?

Yeshinta          : Past Tense, Sir.

Raju                 : I think she is smart, isn’t it? (Whispers to Dahlia)

Dahlia              : Of course. It’s impossible to get a scholarship if she is not smart.

Raju                 : I almost forget about it.

Novita             : She is not as smart as you imagine guys.

  (Suddenly, Sir Andi receives a call)

Sir Andi          : Wait a minute, students. I have a call.

All students     : Okay, Sir.

  (Later…..)

Sir Andi          : I have something to tell you, students.

Inka                 : What is that, Sir?

Sir Andi          : We have a meeting right now. So, I must go there.

Raju                 : Hurray!

Sir Andi          : Don’t make a noise, Raju.

Raju                 : Sorry, Sir.

Sir Andi          : I will give you a task. Make a paragraph about Recount Text. It must have at least 200 words. Do you understand?

All students     : Yes, Sir.

Sir Andi          : I have to go now.

All students     : Okay, Sir.

  (When Yeshinta is busy to do her task, Dahlia approaches her)

Dahlia              : Yeshinta, why you don’t join with us?

Yeshinta          : I’m shy because I don’t know all of you.

Dahlia              : No problem. Let’s go over there. I’ll introduce my friends.

Yeshinta          : Okay. By the way, what’s your name?

Dahlia              : I’m Dahlia.

Yeshinta          : That’s a good name.

Dahlia              : Thanks, Yeshinta.

                          Hey, guys. Yeshinta doesn’t know our names. Mention your name, guys!

Inka                 : My name is Inka.

Raju                 : I’m Raju.

  (Waiting Novita to speak up….)

Dahlia              : Hey, Nov. It’s your turn.

Novita             : I won’t.

Dahlia              : Why?

Novita             : It’s because I don’t like it.

Dahlia              : Well, she is Novita.

                          By the way, have you done your task, Yeshinta? (Tries to change the topic)

Yeshinta          : Not yet, Dahlia           .

Inka                 : Want you to do it with me?

Yeshinta          : Of course.

Dahlia              : Okay, I’ll wait for it. Please, do it now.

Inka                 : Why do you force us to do it now?

Dahlia              : It’s because Raju, Novita and I want to cheat yours.

Raju                 : Yeah.

Novita             : Are you sure to cheat her answer?

Raju                 : Yeah. It’s because she is smart.

Novita             : Are you sure that her answer is right?

Raju                 : Certainly.

Dahlia              :  I think both of you should do it now. Don’t waste the time.

Inka                 : We got it. Take a seat over here, Yeshinta.

Yeshinta          : Okay.

Dahlia              : Novita, let’s move over there. I need to talk to you.

   (Pointing to the corner of the room)

Novita             : What is about? (Follows Dahlia’s steps from behind)

Dahlia              : It’s about Yeshinta. I think you don’t like Yeshinta, do you?

Novita             : Yeah. I don’t like her.

Dahlia              : Why? Talk to me properly.

Novita             : You don’t need to know that. The point is I don’t like her since the beginning   she came to this class.

  Meanwhile…..

Inka                  : Yeshinta, I’m thirsty. Want you go to canteen with me?

Yeshinta           : Sure.

Inka                  : Raju, we want to go to canteen. Do you want to join with us?

Raju                  : Absolutely.

Inka                  : Let’s go.

 On the way to canteen…

Yeshinta           : Inka, can I ask you something?

Inka                  : Of course. What is about?

Yeshinta           : It’s about Novita.

Inka                  : What? Novita? (With confused face)

Yeshinta           : Yeah. What’s wrong with Novita?

                             I think she doesn’t like me.

Inka                  : I don’t know. Actually, she is a kind girl. Maybe she has a bad mood today.

Yeshinta           : I hope you’re right.

  Back to Novita & Dahlia in the class…

Dahlia               : I hope you treat Yeshinta better.

Novita               : Why?

Dahlia               : It’s because she is a new student here.

Novita               : I don’t promise you.

                            By the way, where are they going? (Looking around)

Dahlia               : I don’t know.

Novita               : Maybe they are in the canteen. Let’s go there.

Dahlia               : Let’s go.

  (In the canteen, Inka and Raju are talking to Yeshinta)

Dahlia               : There they are, Novita. (Pointing to them)

Novita               : What are you doing here, Inka, Raju?

Inka                  : We buy some soft drinks.

Raju                  : And you? Do you want to buy something?

Novita               : No, I won’t.

Raju                  : So, what are you doing here if you won’t buy anything?

Novita               : It is up to me.

Raju                  : Okay. Fine.

Yeshinta           : Hi, Novita?

Novita               : Shut up.

Yeshinta           : What’s wrong with you, Novita?

Novita               : It’s not your business.

Raju                  : Why do you say like that, Nov? I think it’s not polite.

Inka                  : Yeah. I think you are rough now.

Novita               : Do you defend her, Inka?

Inka                  : What do you mean that I defend her?

                             I don’t defend her.

Novita               : So, why do you say that I’m rough?

Raju                  : It’s because you are really rough right now, Novita.

                            Inka just tell the truth.

Novita               : Do you also defend her, Raju?

Raju                  : We don’t defend her, Novita. I think there is nothing wrong with Yeshinta.

                            The problem is on you.

Novita               : What? Did you say that the problem is on me? So, how about you and Inka?

Raju                  : What’s wrong with us?

Novita               : Don’t you know that both of you have changed since Yeshinta came?

Raju                  : What do you mean?

Novita               : You and Inka have changed since Yeshinta came to our class this morning.

                            She has snatched my friends.

Yeshinta           : What? I don’t do that. Why do you think of me like that?

Novita               : Am I wrong?

Yeshinta           : Yes, you are wrong. I never do that.

Inka                  : I think you are too much, Novita.

Dahlia               : Yeah. I think so.

Novita               : Do you also have the same thought with them, Dahlia?

Dahlia               : Yes. I think you are too much now.

Novita               : You have changed guys.

Raju                  : We never change, Novita. The only person who’s changed is you.

Inka                  : Yeah. I think you have changed since this morning.

Novita               : If you think of me like that, it’s okay.

                           But it’s because of her. (Pointing to Yeshinta)

Yeshinta           : Why do you think like that?

Novita               : It’s because you have snatched my friends and I don’t like you because of that.

Raju                  : Don’t make us to be your reason, Novita.

Novita               : It’s the truth.

Inka                  : No, it isn’t.

Raju                  : Are you jealous with Yeshinta?

Novita               : Why should I be jealous of her?

Raju                  : I don’t know. Just ask yourself.

Novita               : Yes. I’m jealous of her.

Yeshinta           : Why?

Novita               : Do you really want to know why I’m jealous of you?

Yeshinta           : Sure.

Novita               : As you know, I’m jealous with you because you have snatched my friends.

Inka                  : Don’t lie to us, Novita.

Novita               : I don’t lie to you.

Yeshinta           : You know that I never snatched your friends, Novita.

Novita               : I know.

Yeshinta           : So, why do you hate me if you know that?

Novita               : It’s because they have changed since you came.

Raju                  : We never changed, Novita.

Novita               : You have changed guys. You have ignored me since she came, especially because she is smarter than me.

Yeshinta           : I think I’m just so so.

Novita               : Don’t pretend to me.

Yeshinta           : I just tell the truth, Novita.

Raju                  : Don’t be so prejudiced against her.

Inka                  : We never do that, Nov. We just want to treat Yeshinta better because she is a new student here.

Dahlia               : We are sorry if you feel that you have been ignored by us. We don’t do that in mind.

Yeshinta           : Me too.

Novita               : Oh, no.  I’m the one who should apologize to all of you, especially to you, Yeshinta. I know that I’m too jealous of you. I’m sorry.

Yeshinta           : You don’t have to. I think it’s just a misunderstanding.

Novita               : Thank you, Yeshinta.

Yeshinta           : You’re welcome, Novita. Let’s be friends then.

Dahlia               : Yeshinta is right. Let’s be friends and don’t be jealous with our own friends.

Inka                  : I agree with you, Dahlia.

Raju                  : I think so. Well, should we hug each other?

Inka                  : No, we shouldn’t. (Refuses Raju’s suggestion)

Raju                  : Just kidding, friends.

Yeshinta           : I think we must come back to our class to do our task, aren’t we?

Novita               : Yes, we are.

Raju                  : Okay. Let’s go.

  (They come back to their class. A few minutes later, Sir Andi comes to take his stuff)

Sir Andi            : Okay, everybody. Have you finished the task that I gave?

All students      : Not yet, Sir.

Sir Andi            : Is it difficult for you to do that?

All students      : No, Sir.

Sir Andi            : Well. You can do that in your home. We will check it next week.

All students      : Okay, Sir.

Sir Andi            : I think it’s enough for today. See you next week and have a nice day.

All Students     : See you, Sir.
