Hello, fellow readers! Kenalin, gue Earlene, seumuran sama yang empunya lapak, tapi jauh lebih tjakep. Iya, gue bukan empunya lapak. Yang empunya lapak namanya Netta, and I’m just her fictional character who happens to get a privilege in membajak lapaknya. Gitu aja sih, trims.

GA DENG! You guys need to know a lot more about me. I’m 16 this year, an eleventh grader, and a deep-thinker. I often overthink about things that matter to me—and sometimes about the ones unimportant, too—at night before I sleep. Everyone in my circle knows how moody I am, and that’s why panjang setiap bab di cerita ini tergantung mood gue. As you can see, I often use English to express my thoughts and feelings, but I’ll try my best to write in Bahasa. Please forgive me kalo cerita ini akan jadi cerita yang kalian sebut “gado-gado”, alias bahasanya campur aduk.

Why did I mention I am a deep-thinker before? Because that’s the reason why I wanted to write this story at the first place. I love reading teen fiction, tapi lama-kelamaan, gue menyadari satu hal: pacaran dibahas secara ‘menggampangkan’—menurut gue. Ehm, ehm *batuk dulu ceritanya*. I am currently in a relationship, and I’d like to open your eyes—you guys, the teenagers—so you can actually see what being in a relationship means.

Jadi, kalo kalian berniat untuk cari cerita tentang pacaran yang lucu-lucu dan fun aja, sorry to disappoint you but this is not gonna be the right story for ya. Ini cerita gue dan Gian, and I guess pacaran itu lebih dari sekedar seneng-seneng aja. You’ve got loads to think about, tons of problems to deal with (or about) your boy/girlfriend, dan boong banget kalo ada yang bilang mereka nggak pernah berantem pas pacaran. But other than that, I’ll also show you how fun and cute—hopefully—the process goes! Segala sesuatu pasti ada enak dan nggak enaknya, ‘kan? Begitupun pacaran.

Dan begitupun cerita gue. Akan ada sisi positif, sisi negatif, kelebihan, juga kekurangan. Cerita ini nggak akan sempurna tanpa kritik dan saran dari kalian! So, do not hestitate to leave some comments in order to help me write better, ‘kay?! I’ll see you soon in the next chapter!
