Scratches of Ink on my finger

Announcement

Today is selection day for students who want to become participants in the MIPA-based competition, namely mathematics, chemistry, biology, and physics, which will be held three weeks from now.

The selection participants to be selected amounted to ten people per subject. There are about two hundred students who participate in the selection for math subjects until it takes seven rounds to select all of them. Participants will hold a selection exam in the math room.

"It's a good thing we're testing in the same round, Cin. I'm nervous, huh."

"Don't do that, Ga. I'm nervous." Love has clasped her hands tightly because of nervousness.

They will both be selected in the second round, which will take the exam at nine o'clock. Selection participants are allowed not to enter the class to get ready.

Participants in the first round had already started to enter the math room. The teacher on duty has been seen walking into the room carrying sheets of questions and papers for answers assisted by several other teachers.

The teachers also entered the room. The first round participants are already seated in the provided place complete with their respective stationery. Their faces looked different, some were visible, some were talking about their prayers, and there were many who looked calm even though they were nervous.

The teachers at the front took out a question sheet from inside the envelope as well as a paper for answers. The hands then distributed them to each selection participant with the paper state reversed. After all have got the question paper and the answer paper, "Time starts from now, please do." Said one of the teachers in front.

Silent atmosphere, participants do it solemnly. Time passed as the hands were busy finding solutions to their problems on the blurry paper and writing them down on the answer sheet, looking very enthusiastic.

"Duh, hang on, ya, Ga." Love is getting nervous.

"Yes, Cin. Relax, dong."

Love glanced from the window, the participants inside were still busy with the matters in front of them.

"Ga, five minutes to go."

"Okay, Cin. I'm nervous, here. Relax dong." Yoga has tried to prepare his mental from earlier, but always collapsed when Love speaks in a nervous tone.

"Hi."

"Wood." Yoga looked at me beside him.

"Again waiting, huh?"

"Yes, here. How are you here?"

"I'm gonna let you guys see."

"Ga, hold on again..." The voice of Love shook this time, she was busy looking at her watch then glanced into the space again.

"What's inside?" I looked into the math room as Love did. He was surprised to see me who was suddenly beside him.

"Wood." Sluggishly.

"Why did you see them? Play games first, you learn. If they see it they continue to add weight." I'm staring.

Love gulped down his saliva heavily looking at me. Then he held his breath in silence in front of me until the second round arrived. During that time also Love steadied itself to face the test that soon lasted.

"Thank you. I'm going in first." Love in.

"You're great, Bay. From then on her nervous love nular continued to me. Yeah, come in first, yeah."

I nodded while releasing a smile to encourage her and then noticed her coming inside. After that I went back to class.

I'll try as much as I can. I just want to give, I don't want to give otherwise.

"Bay, would you like to come, don't you, see the selection?"

"Say this break is taped to the mading."

"OK."

"I don't think I graduated." Yoga began to lethargy at what he was saying.

"We're evidenced." My answer.

This hour of rest I go with Yoga and Love to the mading. The students are already huddled there. Just imagine, two hundred students who took part in the mathematical selection, not to mention three other subjects who also did not lose much to participate in the selection, which is also not less, plus their friends who also wanted to see the results of the selection, now gathered here. So tight.

"That's the result!" A student shouted at the three teachers holding sheets containing the names that participated in the selection complete with adhesive tools. The students flocked to storm the teachers.

"Eh, uh, wait a minute! Stamped first!" The teacher had to shout in the crowd of students who were storming him.

Lots of sheets taped, considering the participants who participated in the selection also a lot.

After they finished sticking to the sheets, the three teachers quickly wanted to escape from the crowd of students who were sipping it. Fortunately, they were able to come out and stroke the chest because they had survived the students who felt like a mob tantrum, then walked to the teacher's room again.

The students who had already seen their names and graduation status there began to take off tones that corresponded to the status of their names on that result sheet. The one who was declared a pass, shouted excitedly with smiles splattered on their lips, celebrating his graduation by clapping with his friend. Instead, the one whose status did not pass immediately gushed out from the crowd with a face of despair.

The three of us were still waiting until this crowd shrank. A few minutes we had waited, finally there were some students who were still in front of the mading. Suddenly a student there cried and hugged a friend beside her.

"Udah, if there's another chance, we'll try again. Don't cry." His friend comforted in that embrace, after which they left.

"Well, I can see that." Take Yoga. He goes ahead of the mading. Me and Love followed him behind.

Yoga's hand pointed towards the sheet there, focusing his eyes looking for his name and the name of Love.

"There's no name for us, Cin." Yoga is already looking from the first name until it runs out.

"here, Ga. That's what comes with other subjects." Love Reply.

Yoga looked at the head of the sheet and it turned out to be Physics. He nodded and soon drew closer to Love.

"Ga! it's!" Love pointed her name there with a face ready to scream. "Yahoo!!" Take off the shout from his mouth while jumping for joy facing Yoga. At the end of his name is written Description: Pass - Rank: 2.

"Waaah. Congratulations, Cin." Yoga almost embraced Love out of excitement. Love smothered her mouth too happy not to know what to say. He even forgot that I was among them.

"Congratulations, yes, Cin." I said after the two of them celebrated the happy news with such joy.

Spontaneous love turned to me, "Eh." His eyes widened and he realized that I was among them. Love smothered her mouth again, and then she cried.

"Eh, Cin, how you crying?" Yoga brings her face closer to love.

"I'm happy, Ga." Love wiped away her tears. "Eh, sorry I forgot, first find your name." He looked back at the sheets with eyes that continued to water.

"It." I pointed to the name Yoga there, they came closer to me and saw the name I was pointing to. The last two captions there are written Description: Pass - Rank: 9.

"YESY!! Yoga! We pass!" The two times Love yelled hysterically so.

Yoga who does not know how to respond to happiness, because it is impossible that he also screams like Love, so only the grin scratching his nape that is not at all itchy.

"Congratulations, Ga." Saying to him.

"Thanks, Bay." Yoga smiled broadly revealing his teeth.

Today is a good day for both of them. After the announcement day, the next day they will be more busy because they have to take intensive training to prepare for the race later.
