GOSSIP GIRL

Gossip Girl here,

your one and only source to the scandalous lives of Mahattan’s Elite.

- from the series “Gossip Girl”-

 

 

Kalau saja di jaman SMA saya tinggal di New York dan sudah jamannya push e-mail lewat hand phone, mungkin saja Gossip Girl—situs fiktif itu—akan muncul dengan nama yang berbeda dan isi yang hampir serupa : the scandalous lives of high school’s attendance.

 

The names there are not gonna be ‘B’ and ‘S’ (Stands for Blair Waldorf and Serena Van Der Woodsen).

Akan tertulis ‘V’ and ‘G’. Well, setidaknya ini bukan fiktif. Saya dan sahabat saya di SMA memang saling memanggil dengan inisial masing-masing.

Lalu diikuti inisial teman-teman kami yang lain : ‘I’, ‘D’, ‘K’, ‘M’, ‘N’, (another) ‘V’....etc.

 

B and S are B.F.F.....

Yes, so do we... V and G are B.F.F...

Kami memang baru bertemu di SMA. Tapi kami serasa saling mengenal puluhan tahun. Beberapa orang malah mengira kami berteman sejak TK.

 

B and S are upper East-siders.

V and G also East-siders.

We live at the East of Jakarta and my ex-highschool-boyfriend had this B-Boys club wich called East Riders. OMG...how ‘East’ we are!

 

B and S have their crush, D, N, and C...

Well, we also had ours..

V had E, I, D....and others

G had G, D, U, I, E, A....and many others

We had the I, for the same person, at the different time  of our high school experience.

We had the E, also for the same person,  at the sama time, that made V slap G on the face, in front of the class, that also made our high school experience soooo scandalicious.

 

B and S have their own villains. Sometimes for each other. But they made up at the end.

V and G also had their own villains. Sometimes for each other, but we made up easily, and  most of our villains were others.

Mantan pacar yang meninggalkan kami demi seorang anak baru, anak baru yang merebut pacar kami, mantan teman kami yang mencomblangi mantan pacar kami dengan anak baru yang kami benci, guru yang menyuruh kami memanjangkan rok dan melonggarkan baju, anak sekolah lain yang datang dan merebut perhatian cowok-cowok di sekolah kami, adik kelas yang memelototi kami balik ketika dipelototi, dan tentu saja, kakak kelas yang merasa dipelototi balik ketika memelototi kami, atau kakak kelas yang pacarnya kami rebut, kakak kelas yang temannya naksir kami, kakak kelas yang teman laki-lakinya jadi teman kami juga, dan segala jenis kakak kelas yang lain.

 

B and S doin’ silly things. They stripped, they slept with a guy on the back  of limo, they had fun.

V and G did silly  things also. But...not that ‘silly’.

Kami berlompatan tanpa mengenakan rok sekolah di kamar, untuk mengisi waktu sebelum pergi les. Kami merekam video kami sendiri, jauh sebelum musim youtube, as Hillary Duff and Lindsay Lohan. Kami mengintai  kakak kelas—dan adik kelas—yang kami suka. Kami kabur dari les, dan  pergi makan es krim. Kami menggencet adik kelas dengan suka rela. Kami berkirim surat, padahal cuma pisah kelas.

 

That was our story back then. When life was like a television series. Easy, passionate, and friendly.

I crave for time like that....

 

 

You know you love me
