Utari
NATIONAL SELECTION ENTERED THE STATE COLLEGE.The writing of Bu Retno on the board made my back vertical. Ms. Retno will just start explaining the selection flow. I immediately opened my notebook.
Make me this selection my main way to get into public college. In that selection, the semester report card grades one through five and my academic performance can be my entrance ticket to college. I feel I do not have enough time and energy to prepare for other path selection such as SBMPTN. If later selected to compete in SEA GAMES.
"It's a serious problem. Do not let the original choose. You must be sure of the choice of majors and universities. Do not get it later if it has been accepted even you refuse. Later your juniors will have a hard time getting into that University. " Mother Retno's voice makes the class quiet.
It seems to be reminded that our time wearing Grey white is not long. Sometimes I want things to be simpler like switching from TK to SD, to SMP, then SMU. Everything is clear and certain. At least my wish used to be as simple as one school with Diva and Aditya.
After SMA, the road becomes branched and too many possibilities. My hope now can no longer be just "one major or one campus with Diva and Aditya".Everyone's path is different. This is when I think what I really think.
" Lo's going to DKVITB, right? "tanyaku to Diva while sitting in class at break time.
Diva nodded without hesitation. I smile. I'm a big fan of all of Diva's work. I can imagine the picture of my best friend was once a famous animated film, became a comic that was published until abroad, or plastered on the billboards of the city.
" Kirain Lo wants to enter Criminology. That Criminal Minds overdose, "Aditya interjected.
" It's delicious! In any department, I will still watch the criminal series, "Teach Diva as soon as I brush my hair.
" Lo so go into HI UI, right, lah? "Diva asked back.
" Well, isn't there anything to me anyway,? "Aditya felt unnoticed.
" Yes lo, right, it's obvious, "Diva and I answered in unison. Since first grade, without him saying it, everyone closest to Aditya would know the guy would be in Informatics Engineering. Since long ago, he is the most understanding of the work of the latest gadgets, as if it were his childhood toys.
" Kan, you often say can actually my gadget, but I do not know that the gadget is problematic. Loh, do support his gadget, "Diva imitates the phrase pride Aditya.
Aditya. Laughter broke.
" Eh, No. I can actually live lo, even when you do not know that your life is problematic, "Diva joking Tawamkami discussed in the corner of the class.
Diva and Aditya still often throw jokes when I take my phone out of my pocket, prank open instagram. When sliding the screen up, I was surprised and happy to look at the photo there. However, I immediately hid my exploding laughter by keeping my mouth shut. Diva and Aditya don't need to know yet.
But, late. Diva was already looking at me with a frown. Instantly he grabbed my phone. I tried to take it back, but lost it nimble.
" Cie! Geez! Is that the same Leo that drew? It's sweet, Utari! Whereabouts? There's still a trace? "Diva excited himself to see a picture of a penguin in Leo's hand and a picture of a humpback whale in my hand. Photographed it, both of our hands are so tethered. Diva was busy looking for a picture of the whale in my hand while swiftly passing my phone to Aditya.
" Divas! "I screamed but laughed.😇
