graduation announcement

The morning sun shone brightly. A girl who had just stepped off the public transport also appeared to stand staring at the school building in front of her.

After being satisfied looking at the school where he studied, the girl began to step foot in the school yard with heavy steps.

"Just yesterday it felt like I was standing here with a map containing the registration requirements of new students, but now I will leave this school." he murmured softly.

A stroke of sadness appeared on his face. Not because he was afraid of not being declared a graduate, but he was sad to part with the teacher who had guided him patiently. He was sad to leave a friend who always colors his day.

He began to step again towards the school lobby, there was a white board in the corner. And that's where the list of accepted students is announced. It was still clearly remembered by him, that he was ranked twenty-first, out of the nearly one thousand students who enrolled. While only one hundred students received for the Accounting major.

Currently Echi was wearing an ash-white outfit. After graduating in junior high school with a ranking of second in his school, Echi was enrolled in SMK vocational Business and Management in Accounting.

Echi must be willing to part with his Junior High School friend Oca who continues in High School which is located not far from his home. And their friendship relationship stretched because communication is not smooth and they are busy with their respective school activities.

Echi still remembers when he first entered the school he was forced to obey the orders of Judis who told him to do Judis duties like an assistant. Whether it should take a photo of a copy of the file Yudis incomplete, bring a school bag belonging to Judis, even looking for materials for the implementation of student orientation period activities.

So bucin he against the man to want to obey all his orders as long as he can go and go home to school together.

But fortunately they were different majors, so after the student orientation period was completed, Judis who only used Echi began to stay away, and preferred to hang out with her classmates. It makes Echi realize that loving the person who does not love him will be painful for him.

Echi walked down the school hallway while continuing to remember the memories engraved in every corner of his school. He stopped in front of his class.

In his face one by one the face of the face of a friend who has accompanied him in the white ash.

Echi seemed to want to scatter and hug his friend, but he expressed his intention. There were tears held in her eyes. He was afraid his embrace got a rejection from his friend's friend. He always felt inferior even though he always showed joy on his face.

But when his steps get closer, his body is pulled by a thick-bodied man until their bodies collide with each other.

And here is Echi now. His body was held tightly by the man who was given the nickname "kanjeng mami. Then friends of other friends who are mostly women also thrashed her, so her body squeezed in the middle of the cuddle drama.

"Echi, we've been waiting for you to know." said 'kanjeng mami'

"Your design, so the excitement if the teletubies event has started. HUGGING." said the narrow-eyed girl who was as tall as Echi who was none other than Zang Lian. A friend who always asks Echi for help in his romance.

"Yes, long time ago you Chi. Today last we can gather one class of gini tau" said the girl who also embraced Echi but had rounder eyes and her skin was tanned.

"Yes, this dong was his hug. It's hard to breathe" said Echi Haru. There were tears that were shed in my heart. She was ashamed to cry in front of her friends.

From the results of camera shots hp they appear differences in skin color that is very contrasting. Echi and his four friends were dark-skinned and round-eyed because they were indigenous.

While 'kanjeng mami' and others are Chinese derivatives. So that his eyes are more narrow, and his skin color is whiter. But the difference is not disputed by them. And they respond to all those differences as a sign of the power of the creator of the universe.

This is what makes Echi always comfortable in school because he feels he has a friend who appreciates him, inversely proportional to the attitude of family at home who always compare him. So that a little at a little he began to believe in the abilities that exist in him. He tries to always be confident and show his cheerfulness.

When they are busy taking photos to capture the moment of graduation day, the, the headmaster also announced that the students were forbidden to march and scrawl white ash uniforms as did students of graduate years before his.

The headmaster also asked the guardians of students to enter the classroom according to the majors of their respective children, a sign that the submission of graduation results will begin immediately.

I saw my brother advancing to pick up my graduation results wrapped in a brown envelope.

I who peeked out of the classroom window had the support of my friend's friend. Someone's holding my hand. There are also those who stroke my back, even my shoulders and shoulders. It was as if they were encouraging me to be ready to accept whatever the outcome.

I saw my brother come out and handed him the envelope that had been opened because my brother had read it while walking out after shaking the hand of our class teacher.

I impatiently unfolded the paper and read "PASS".

"Yeay, I graduated" I cried joyfully.

"Thank God. That means we all passed the genk... Congratulations to ourselves." said the girl with narrow eyes with cubby cheeks while slitting something out of her bag and squirting on Echi's shirt so it looks "PASS" on the white shirt.

"Huh, what the hell is this? Kan pak Kepsek has forbidden to do not scrawl white ash scrawl clothes anyway" Echi shouted in surprise, did not expect that his friend had prepared pilok for the action doodles clothes.

"Udah, diem. Here I sign your shirt. A sign that we are the same as graduating. I want to be the first one to sign on your shirt" said 'kanjeng mami' starting to put his signature on Echi's chest

Echi glared at the treatment of his best friend

"wanted to sign first but not here too. Find your chance, huh?"

The one in pelototokin just keep quiet while continuing his action. Echi was uncomfortable in his current position. Because the man put a signature on his left chest, so that when viewed from afar it looks like a man is playing the breast of a girl.

"It's over."

But when in the middle of their action, Echi fell silent after seeing a straight-haired girl with her narrow eyes looking to tie back and forth in his place like being confused. Sontak Echi immediately approached him.
