"GUA NYASAR! HELP ME!" -

"Waduh! Kalo dulu gue dengerin kata emak buat jelajahin sekolah dari awal, mana mungkin sekarang gue kena batunya kaya gini, anjir!"

It's about your first day at some fancy European boarding school located in Switzerland, or maybe it's your first, second or third year at this school. Either way, your situation remains the same. Today is the day when the school reopens, where fresh new students from countries on continents that you've probably never had the chance to visit come in waves. And Clara is amongst the crowd of these new students, only that she's probably one of the few who have only arrived late.

It was a place ripped from a storybook, a sprawling estate of ancient grey stone and modern glass, nestled in a valley somewhere in the Swiss Alps. Sunlight, still weak and pale, caught the dew on impeccably manicured lawns and glinted off the lead-lined windows of buildings that looked more like castles than classrooms. The air was crisp, smelling of pine and cold, clean stone... a world away from the humid, familiar warmth of Jakarta.

For Clara Theresia Hutagalung, standing at the base of the grand, wrought-iron main gate, it was both a dream and a waking nightmare. The acceptance letter, now crumpled in her damp hand, had spoken of ‘unparalleled opportunity’ and ‘a global community’. It had not prepared her for the sheer, intimidating scale of it all, nor for the symphony of unfamiliar languages that swirled around her like a chaotic melody. Her moment of awe was shattered as a group of laughing students, their blazers perfectly tailored, brushed past her, forcing her to stumble sideways with her two oversized suitcases.
