Graduations

2 Weeks later came the announcement of the graduation of the 12th grade students, still early in the morning but the courtyard of the school administration building had been filled by dozens of students who would see the results of their previous exams. Four friends are still in the dorm room and even Jim and Ronald are still asleep, the four of them look relaxed because they know very well that the results of the exam will be taped to the announcement board at noon.

Alternately Ray, Kenny, Jim and Ronald cleaned themselves and then continued to the boarding house for breakfast, after which they rushed to the school precisely the administration building where hundreds of friends had gathered in their class. Class 12 has 3 classes and in each class there are 20 to 22 students, Ray, Kenny, Jim and Ronald are in class 12A along with Mellisa and Jane, respectively, katy and Lindsay are in Class 12B.

Four friends sat in their usual place gathered waiting for the upcoming exam committee to stick their test results in the announcement board, meanwhile their 4 school beauties are not clustered with other children but they are sitting in class.

By noon, someone approached the bulletin board and began to stick A3-sized paper containing a list of the names of examinees along with the results of exam scores and sequential results according to ranking results, all the children who were sitting scattered without being commanded immediately approached and jostled to try to see the announcement first.

Of the 64 students who took the final exam all qualified the assessment standard and were declared all passed with good results, and what is now on the announcement board is the graduation score ranking, he said, and at the bottom there is another announcement that the graduation celebration, diploma acceptance and student release will be held 10 days later on the school page.

Ray became the best of all graduates and was followed by Kenny as a rank II, Melissa to III and then in succession were Jim and Ronald ranked IV and to V, respectively, they are all satisfied with the results achieved and of course for four friends is an added value in the assessment of their scholarship acceptance which will be continued at the university level.

"Happy Ray for your success to be the best among us!" said Mellisa who suddenly was beside him while extending her hand to shake hands.

"Ahh..., thanks Mel, for you also welcome to enter as a group of 3 big!" ray said as he shook Mellisa's hand.

"That's all because the four of you want to help me, try otherwise the results will be far from what is affixed to the announcement at this time" mellisa said while still holding Ray's hand and taking them away from the location of the notice board to the school park.

"Do you have any plans for next?" mellisa asked when the two were at the school park.

"Yes.!, even we have come to the campus that will be our next learning port" said Ray explained.

"Ohh...., if I may know at which university the four of you will enter?" ask Mellisa who does not know where Ray and his three friends will continue their education.

"The four of us have agreed to continue to study at Fenesville University, because it is the best option available according to the scholarships we have received so far, he said, and we will still receive it during the lecture!"

"Good then, while we girls will also be separated, I will follow my sister in the capital, he said, Jane and Lindsay will continue their studies in Europe and Katy will return to Canada because her parents have withdrawn from their country"

"Thank you Ray, I wish the four of you the same, especially the one who is the pride of our school!"

The existence of Ray and Mellisa in the school park did not escape the spotlight of several pairs of eyes from the direction of the administration building, without realizing by the two there were also 3 people who were hurrying towards them.

"Well, how fun you two were and didn't take us!" said a voice from behind Ray and Mellisa.

"Hi Kenny, Jim and Ronald.!, congratulations to those of you who are in the top 5 of the graduation rankings" said Mellisa greeting those who have just joined.

"Congratulations to you, Mel! you're also one of the best like us"

"Yes, thank you, oh yes.., our chat is over, please you guys continue, I will be back soon because my friends are waiting for me, see you...!" said Mellisa then rushed to leave the four friends and rejoined her friends.

Because there is no longer a need for the school building, four friends then return to the school dormitory. In their spare time, Ray always brought his three friends to practice physics at the martial dojo in the Happy Mart basement, and then they will practice independently in the school dormitory by meditating at night and dawn.

As children from lower and middle families it has become a habit for Ray, Kenny, Jim and Ronald to live simply without demanding more to their parents, except for those things that are very urgent in order to support their education, they will ask. In terms of the association of adolescents as well, they have no intention or willingness to establish a relationship with a girl, as well, unlike most teenagers from upper-level families who are already infected with promiscuity when they turn 16 or 17 years old.

Four friends prefer to focus on their education or on other positive things such as studying martial arts, as for the matter of attraction with the opposite sex for them is only as a beauty that can only be seen and admired and cannot yet be owned let alone to be felt. The feeling is still far from their current understanding, which is in their minds at this time is to progress to be the best to change the fate of their family's life in the future.

10 Days later in the school field has been built an open stage and the remaining yard has lined a row of 64 chairs that are intended for students who have graduated, which is the first place in the world, then beside the left and right there are dozens of other seats that are reserved for parents or guardians of the siwa in question.

Of the four friends, only the parents of Kenny attend and also become the guardian of Ray, Jim and Ronald, whose parents are far from Bronxville City, only by using a plane to bring their parents to attend the graduation ceremony at this time. For this reason, the three have asked Kenny's parents to be their guardians at the graduation celebration, likewise, Kenny's parents who are happy and proud to be the guardians of the best graduates at this school.

As Ray's best graduate, he was asked to give an impression of the school where he had lived for several years and also to give a message to the teachers who had taught him as well as to all his classmates who would continuing education in various places, charming Ray Mound gives his speech especially in addition to the best at school Ray also has a handsome face and because martial arts are trained regularly so that his posture is ideal to make the girls will melt if staring. Although it has never been responded by Ray including to Mellisa who has shown interest in Ray several times.

The release event ended with graduation celebration by the students by throwing their graduation hats, then the event continued by making photos with the entire force and also some were doing in groups or just between their roommates. At the moment the photo with four friends received more attention because they were asked to always be there in every shot, he said, especially Ray who was pulled here and there at the request of his departure friends to take pictures together.
