Before you start reading Lupus’s story, let me tell you about Lupus and his friends who will join in the fun later. Maybe someday while you’re out and about, you’ll run into them hanging out on the street. That way, you can say hi to them.
The first creature I’m going to tell you about is Lupus. He’s a pretty cool kid with hair like John Taylor, skinny and kind of tall. He talks however he wants, and he’s a simple guy. But he’s actually a nice guy, even though he can be annoying sometimes. He doesn’t shy away from crushing on pretty girls, even though he already has Poppi by his side. He also loves teasing his close friends like Gusur, Boim, or Fifi Alone. One thing you need to know is that Lupus loves chewing gum and sticking it wherever he wants. He likes riding crowded buses and wearing shabby clothes. Besides studying in the second grade at SMA Merah Putih, he also works as a fake journalist for Hai magazine.
He only has one sibling, his sister Lulu. The two of them often fight over things like their mom’s chocolate ration or their boyfriend. Lulu is not far from Lupus. She’s lively and talkative.
So there’s this dude named Gusur, he’s like Lupus’ only friend who’s not in the same class. He’s a total language nerd. His buddies call him “Crazy Artist.” He’s also part of the loser squad. Even though his dream is pretty simple, to be a poet, his language style is always super fancy. This innocent Gusur is head over heels for Fifi, but Fifi can’t stand him. Maybe it’s because Gusur has a messy appearance, stinky armpits, an insatiable appetite, farts a lot, acts all uncultured, and at home, he goes all Tarzan-mode wearing only his underwear. Basically, he’s not cool at all. Just like Boim, Gusur loves to borrow money to satisfy his crazy cravings. And his poetic language is his trademark.
Now, let me introduce you to one of Lupus’ teachers, Mr. Punk. He’s the Physics teacher. He’s from the Batak tribe. His real name is Pangaribuan, but the kids call him Mr. Punk. This dude is insanely strict, super disciplined, and Boim’s arch-nemesis. Boim feels like the dumbest student in the world whenever he’s studying Physics. Mr. Punk, with his Batak accent, usually pronounces the letter ‘s’ as ‘z’ in every word.
Alright, that’s it for now, okay? Feel free to read the story, and if you can’t wait anymore…
