Tahun ajaran baru telah dimulai. Clea melangkahkan kaki menuju sekolah barunya sebagai murid baru kelas 2 SMA. Gadis berambut kepangan dua itu memasuki ruangan kepala sekolah, Mrs. Renata. “Permisi, Bu. Saya Clea, murid baru...”

            “Ssst...” bisik Dominic pada Wolfram, bos dari kalangan anak-anak jahil, “ada murid baru, Bos! Tapi dilihat dari penampilannya... cupu abis!”

            “Biar saja. Ini tugas kita. Kita buat dia nggak betah berada di St. Orchid!” jelas Wolfram sambil menyeringai jahat.

            Clea memasuki kelasnya yang baru bersama dengan Mrs. Renata. “Anak-anak,” kata Mrs. Renata hendak memperkenalkan murid baru yang memasuki kelas Wolfram, “saya punya teman baru untuk kalian. Ayo, perkenalkan dirimu.” Mrs. Renata mempersilahkan Clea memperkenalkan diri.

“Nama saya Clea Allison. Saya pindahan dari St. Trevor. Mohon bantuannya,” ucap gadis berkacamata itu. Tiba-tiba... PLUK! “Auw...” rintih Clea kesakitan ketika sebuah buntelan kertas melayang mengenai kepalanya.

Treasure of My Heart

Treasure of My Heart

 By: Valeska Valkyrie

Namaku Gabrielle. Aku adalah gadis yang tidak pintar sama sekali, not smart at all. Aku juga seorang gadis yang biasa saja. Karena semua itulah… aku merasa diriku ini tak berguna untuk berada di dunia yang seindah ini. Merasa Tuhan mungkin menciptakanku berdasarkan kesalahan terbesar yang pernah dimiliki-Nya. Caci maki sudah menjadi makananku sehari-hari dari keluarga dan kedua orang tuaku. Aku tidak sepintar kakakku, Nanda, dalam hal apapun. Aku selalu bertanya-tanya, untuk apa aku hidup bila hanya ini yang kuterima? Namun… berawal dari satu masalah kecil dalam hidupku, aku mulai memandang segalanya dari sudut pandang yang berbeda. Dari itu semualah aku memulai segala perubahan dalam hidupku…

Antara Sahabat dan Kedisiplinan

Antara Sahabat dan Kedisiplinan

By: Valeska Valkyrie

            “Ayah!” rengek Dinda sepulang dari sekolah. Aku yang sedang mengerjakan tugas kantor segera menghampirinya.

            Aku mendekatinya dan berjongkok untuk menghapus air matanya yang berderai. “Ada apa?” tanyaku lembut, “kenapa Dinda menangis?”

            “Rani, Yah! Rani membohongiku! Dia jahat! Katanya, dia sayang aku. Dia ingin jadi sahabatku! Tapi kenapa ia berbohong padaku? Bahkan kata Rendra, dia menjelek-jelekkanku tanpa sepengetahuanku,” katanya sambil tetap menangis. Rani? Bukankah Rani adalah sahabatnya?

            Aku menenangkannya dan mengelap peluh air mata yang turun dengan derasnya. Kugendong Dinda dan kuturunkan di sebuah sofa empuk. Aku duduk di sebelahnya. “Kamu sahabatnya kan? Apa kamu percaya dia? Kalau kamu tidak mempercayai berita yang kamu dengar dari Rendra, jangan dengarkan berita aneh itu. Tetaplah mempercayai Rani,” ucapku. Dinda memperhatikanku dengan seksama, bahkan air matanya tak menetes lagi. Ia tersenyum dan mengangguk.

            “Ya. Aku mempercayainya,” katanya. Aku membalas senyumannya dan kemudian membetulkan kaca mataku yang melorot. Dinda tetap memperhatikanku. Tiba-tiba, ia bertanya, “apa Ayah pernah punya sahabat?”

            Aku menatap matanya yang seolah menginginkan jawaban dariku. Aku tersenyum sumringah dan mengangguk. “Tentu saja pernah. Bahkan lika-liku kehidupan sepertinya ingin memisahkan kami.” Aku memandang tatapan Dinda yang benar-benar dipenuhi perasaan penasaran. Aku tertawa karenanya. “Mau mendengar kisahnya?” Dinda mengangguk dengan cepat. Aku mendesah dan kembali menatapnya. “Kisah ini tercipta saat Ayah berumur 14 tahun. Tepatnya, di bangku kelas 3 SMP...”

Amazing Grace

 Amazing Grace

By: Valeska Valkyrie

            Aku, seorang gadis dengan nama Grace, bertekad suatu hari nanti akan memberikan kebahagiaan pada orang lain. Sama seperti namaku, aku ingin memberikan berkat bagi orang lain, setidaknya supaya orang lain menganggapku sebagai berkat yang dikirimkan Tuhan. Tapi... bukannya menjadi berkat, aku malah menjadi petaka bagi orang yang kukasihi. Dan sekarang, setidaknya, kisah ini diperuntukkan bagi dunia, karena setidaknya setelah ia pergi, aku ingin berkisah dan bercerita tentang seorang pemuda baik hati... yang dengan rela memberikan nyawanya hanya untuk gadis sepertiku... Cloud namanya...

Taylor Swift - You Belong With Me

You’re on the phone

With your girlfriend

She’s upset

She’s going off about

Something that you said

She doesn’t

Get your humor

Like I do

I’m in the room

It’s a typical Tuesday night

I’m listening to the kind of music

She doesn’t like

She’ll never

Know your story

Like I do

But, she wears short skirt, I wear T-shirt

She’s cheer captain, and I’m on the bleachers

Dreaming about the day

When you wake up and find that what you’re

Looking for

Has been here the whole time

Chorus :

If you could see

That I’m the one who understands you

Been here all along

So why can’t you see

You belong with me

You belong with me

Taylor Swift - The Story of Us

I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us
How we met and the sparks flew instantly
People would say, "They're the lucky ones"

I used to know my place was a spot next to you
Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat
Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on

Oh, a simple complication
Miscommunications lead to fall-out
So many things that I wish you knew
So many walls that I can't break through

Chorus :
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room and we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know is it killing you like it's killing me, yeah?
I don't know what to say, since the twist of fate when it all broke down
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

Taylor Swift - Speak Now

I am not the kind of girl

Who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion

But you are not the kind of boy

Who should be marrying the wrong girl

I sneak in and see your friends

And her snotty little family all dressed in pastel

And she is yelling at a bridesmaid

Somewhere back inside a room

Wearing a gown shaped like a pastry

This is surely not what you thought it would be

I lose myself in a daydream

Where I stand and say

Chorus :

Don’t say "Yes", run away now

I’ll meet you when you’re out of the church at the back door

Don’t wait or say a single vow

You need to hear me out

And they said, "Speak now"

Fond gestures are exchanged

And the organ starts to play

A song that sounds like a death march

And I am hiding in the curtains

It seems I was uninvited by your lovely bride to be

Jessie J - Price Tag

Seems like everybody’s got a price

I wonder how they sleep at night

When the tale comes first

And the truth comes second

Just stop, for a minute and smile

Why is everybody so serious

Acting so damn mysterious

You got shades on your eyes

And your heels so high

That you can't even have a good time

Everybody look to their left

Everybody look to their right

Can you feel that (yeah)

Well pay them with love tonight

Chorus :

It's not about the money, money, money

We don't need your money, money, money

We just wanna make the world dance

Forget about the price tag

Ain’t about the cha-ching cha-ching

Ain’t about the ba-bling ba-bling

Wanna make the world dance

Forget about the price tag

Miley Cyrus - Party In the U.S.A

I hopped off the plane at L.A.X.

With a dream and my cardigan

Welcome to the land of fame excess

Am I gonna fit in?

Jumped in the cab here I am for the first time

Look to my right and I see the Hollywood sign

This is all so crazy

Everybody seems so famous

My tummy's turning and I'm feeling kinda home sick

Too much pressure and I'm nervous

That's when the taxi man turned on the radio

And the Jay-Z song was on

And the Jay-Z song was on

And the Jay-Z song was on

Chorus :

So I put my hands up

They're playing my song

The butterflies fly away

Nodding my head like yeah

Moving my hips like yeah

I got my hands up

They're playing my song

I know I'm gonna be ok

Yeah, it's a party in the USA

Yeah, it's a party in the USA

Taylor Swift - Ours

Elevator buttons in morning air

Strangers silence makes me want to take the stairs

If you were here we’d laugh about their vacant stares

But right now my time is theirs

Seems like there’s always someone who disapproves

They’ll judge it like they know about me and you

And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do

The jury’s out, my choice is you

Chorus :

So don’t you worry your pretty little mind

People throw rocks at things that shine

And life makes love look hard

The stakes are high, the water’s rough

But this love is ours

Demi Lovato - Our Time Is Here

We're done, but it's not over, we'll start it again
After the end of the day, it keeps getting better
Don't be afraid, we'll do it together

Come on, come on, you know
It's your time to move it's my time to move
Come on, come on, let go
Leave it all behind, your past and mine

Chorus :
Gone are the days of summer
We couldn't change it if we tried
Why would we want to, let's go where we got to
Our paths will cross again in time
It's never the same tomorrow
And tomorrow is never clear
So come on, come on, you know
Our time... our time is here

Jennifer Lopez - On the Floor

I'm loose
And everybody knows I get off the train
Baby it's the truth
I'm like inception I play with your brain
So I don't sleep I snooze
I don't play no games so don't get it confused no
Cuz you will lose yeah
Now pump it up
And back it up like a Tonka truck
That badonka donk is like a trunk full of bass
On an old school Chevy 7 trail donka truck
All I need is some vodka and some chunka coke
And watch a chick get donkey konged
Baby if you're ready for things to get heavy
I get on the floor and act a fool if you let me dale
Don't believe me just vet me
My name ain't Keath but I see why you Sweat me
L.A. Miami New York
Say no more get on the floor

Chorus :
Dance the night away
Live your life and stay out on the floor
Dance the night away
Grab somebody drink a little more
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Tonight we gonna be it on the floor
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Tonight we gonna be it on the floor

OST. Glee - No Air

If I should die before I wake

It's cause you took my breath away

Losing you is like living in a world with no air

I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave

My heart won't move, it's incomplete

Wish there was a way that I can make you understand

But how do you expect me

To live alone with just me

Because my world revolves around you

It's so hard for me to breathe

Chorus :

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air

Can't live, can't breathe with no air

It's how I feel whenever you ain't there

It's no air, no air

Got me out here in the water so deep

Tell me how you gonna be without me

If you ain't here, I just can't breathe

It's no air, no air

No air, air (no)

No air, air (no)

No air, air (no)

No air, air

Taylor Swift - Haunted

You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
But I never thought I'd live to see it break

It's getting dark, and it's all too quiet
And I can't trust anything now
And it's coming over you like it's all a big mistake

Oh, I'm holding my breath
Won't lose you again
Something's made your eyes go cold

Chorus :
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong
You're all I wanted
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can't breathe whenever you're gone
Can't turn back now, I'm haunted

Evanescence - Bring Me To Life

How can you see into my eyes like open doors

Leading you down into my core

Where I’ve become so numb without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold

Until you find it there and lead it back home

Chorus :

(wake me up) wake me up inside

(I can’t wake up) wake me up inside

(save me) call my name and save me from the dark

(wake me up) bid my blood to run

(I can’t wake up) before I come undone

(save me) save me from the nothing I’ve become

Now that I know what I’m without

You can’t just leave me

Breathe into me and make me real

Bring me to life

Chorus :

(wake me up) wake me up inside

(I can’t wake up) wake me up inside

(save me) call my name and save me from the dark

(wake me up) bid my blood to run

(I can’t wake up) before I come undone

(save me) save me from the nothing I’ve become

Bring me to life

(I’ve been living a lie, there’s nothing inside)

Bring me to life

Frozen inside without your touch without your love darling

Only you are the life among the dead

All this time I can’t believe I couldn’t see

Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me

I’ve been sleeping at thousand years it seems

Got to open my eyes to everything

Without a thought without a voice without a soul

Don’t let me die here

There must be something more

Bring me to life

Chorus :

(wake me up) wake me up inside

(I can’t wake up) wake me up inside

(save me) call my name and save me from the dark

(wake me up) bid my blood to run

(I can’t wake up) before I come undone

(save me) save me from the nothing I’ve become

(Bring me to life)

I’ve been living a lie, there’s nothing inside

(Bring me to life)

Taylor Swift - Breathe

See your face in my mind as I drive away

Cause none of us thought it was gonna end that way

People are people and sometimes we change our minds

But it's killing me to see you go after all this time

Mmm...

Music starts playing like the end of a sad movie

It's the kinda ending you don't really wanna see

Cause it's tragedy and it'll only bring you down

Now I don't know what to be without you around

And we know it's never simple, never easy

Never a clean break, no one here to save me

You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand

Chorus :

And I can't breathe

Without you, but I have to

Breathe

Without you, but I have to

Taylor Swift - Back To December

I'm so glad you made time to see me

How's life? Tell me, how's your family?

I haven't seen them in a while

You've been good, busier than ever

We small talk, work and the weather

Your guard is up, and I know why

Because the last time you saw me

Is still burned in the back of your mind

You gave me roses, and I left them there to die

Chorus :

So this is me swallowing my pride

Standing in front of you, saying I'm sorry for that night

And I go back to December all the time

It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you

Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine

I go back to December, turn around and make it alright

I go back to December all the time

Taylor Swift - A Place In This World

I don't know what I want, so don't ask me

Cause I'm still trying to figure it out

Don't know what's down this road, I'm just walking

Trying to see through the rain coming down

Even though I'm not the only one

Who feels the way I do

Chorus     :

I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know

I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on

Oh I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world

Rihanna - We Found Love

Yellow diamonds in the light
Now we’re standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
What it takes to come alive

It’s the way I’m feeling I just can’t deny
But I’ve gotta let it go

Chorus :
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place

OST. Digimon - Keep On

Furimukanaide hashiritsuzukeyou sunshine day
Surimuita itami ni makerarenai adventure
Tachimukaou osoreru koto wa nai my future
Kawaita nodo ni uruoi wo kureru your smile

Kokoro no oku ni sunderu yowamushi no jibun ni
Wakare tsuge mata hitotsu tsuyoku nareru hazu sa

Chorus :

Ima koso tobitatsu yuuki wo motte
Kokoro no hane hirogete mada minu mirai e
Ima kara hateshinai sora e mukatte
Mada hajimatta bakari se yume e no bouken
La la la... la la la...

Christina Perri - A Thousand Years

Heartbeats fast

Colors and promises

How to be brave

How can I love when I’m afraid to fall

But watching you stand alone

All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

Chorus :

I have died everyday waiting for you

Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you

For a thousand years

I’ll love you for a thousand more

Taylor Swift - Mary's Song (Oh My My My)

She said, I was seven and you were nine
I looked at you like the stars that shined
In the sky, the pretty lights
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
Growing up and falling in love and our mamas smiled
And rolled their eyes and said oh my my my…

Chorus :

Took me back to the house in the backyard tree
Said you'd beat me up, you were bigger than me
You never did, you never did
Took me back when our world was one block wide
I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried
Just two kids, you and I...
Oh my my my my…
