(±300 words – Level SMP Indonesia)

After a few weeks at his new school, Arif feels more comfortable. He already knows many classmates, but Bima is still his closest friend. They sit together in class, study together, and share stories every day.

One afternoon, Arif looks sad and quiet. Bima notices it and asks, “Are you okay?”
Arif takes a deep breath and tells the truth. He feels lonely sometimes because he misses his old friends and his old school. Moving to a new place is not easy for him.

Bima listens carefully and does not interrupt. Then he smiles and says, “I understand how you feel. When I was in elementary school, I also felt lonely. But friendship helped me.”

The next day, Bima introduces Arif to his other friends. They invite Arif to play football after school. At first, Arif feels nervous, but he decides to try.

During the game, Arif plays well. He runs fast and passes the ball confidently. His new friends cheer for him and laugh together. For the first time, Arif feels accepted.

After the match, they sit under a tree and talk about school, dreams, and hobbies. Arif realizes that friendship is not only about having fun, but also about support and understanding.

From that day on, Arif becomes more confident. He speaks more in class and joins school activities. His friendship with Bima changes his life at the new school.

Arif learns an important lesson: one true friend can change everything and make a new place feel like home.
