Theft of the Future

Chapter 4

The natural pace day is far from over. There's still a lot

unthinkable events will occur, especially since dreams

bad last night. Laju had thought that this was all even planned

sneakily. Are people so jealous of him?

It all started when Laju got to school. Although he certainly is

too late, he didn't bother her too much. The school has arrived at

semester's end. No need to bother taking care of the delay, right?

Doesn't matter. The pace can still do its habit without any distractions.

Passing through the gate casually, greeting back the security guard who attacked him, until

passing through the display aisles consisting of dozens of trophies and achievements that

achieved by both Laju and the alumni. At first everything was normal, except the board

the announcement that made Laj's astonishment. He stopped, watched, and tilted

chief. Something is missing.

“Where is the paper announcement congratulations from the school about the letter

academy invitation?” Ask Laju in heart.

Without further ado, Laju turned to go to the teacher's room, even the room

the principal if necessary. The paper is quite old. That's enough

long displayed on the notice board until all students know the content and contents.

Maybe the paper was indeed lifted to replace other announcements.

That's the hope of the pace.

But there is a fear in the pace. What the hell's going on? He just

I want everything to be just a misunderstanding. Aye, right? The paper was not taken

that indicates something bad for him, right?

The pace of silence in front of the door of the teacher's room. His hands could not remain silent.

She's trembling.

But he still needs answers.

He knocked on the door and opened it slowly. Fests

the room immediately turned its attention to Laju. Thanks to his dream last night,

this incident even surprised him. Will he be wronged again? What

he bothers people? Is he hated? But Laju is just hallucinating.

Nothing happened after he entered the teacher's room, other than Mr. Ahmad

coming at him in a hurry, as if he was waiting for the arrival of Laju.

“Wah, Speed! Perfect fit! I have an important announcement for you. We

just go to the principal's room. He got the news

first,” take Mr. Ahmad to Laju while dragging him out. Swift

panic and a little fear.

Laju had asked one or two things while walking down the hallway towards the room

the principal. But Mr. Ahmad even wave himself. He said, better

go to the principal's room and everything will be explained calmly.

As soon as he reached the principal's room, circumstances were going on within it

like a disaster. Everything is confused, everything is chaotic. Why thing

this isn't happening in the teacher's room? Is this news very exclusive?

“Wah, The pace has come. C'mon, everyone! Sit down and calm down first

in the past,” said the exhausted Headmaster took care of the documents.

“Will I repeat the news that just came this morning, so that we can

more understanding of his condition.”

Rate are welcome to sit. So did Mr. Ahmad. Now, everybody

sit comfortably and quietly. But, the room remains stuffy and hot.

Rate of view of the air conditioning device. It's still going normally.

“There is bad news for all of us,” Mr. Principal started the discussion.

“But before that, I congratulate Laju and his basketball team who

won sparring practice yesterday

the High School Superior Hope. Hopefully in the future always given success, yes!”

Said the Headmaster.

His back was trying to relax. His hands folded in

front chest. The Headmaster opened the conversation with something unimportant. Utterance

congratulations only on training matches to him

it doesn't mean anything. Is the principal trying to buy time?

“Sorry. I'm a little nervous,” said the Principal. Now, he's taking

take a deep breath, trying to focus on being able to convey the news calmly.

“There is bad news from the State Insignificant Academy. And you were invited here

because this news has something to do with you, Laju.” Said the Headmaster

serious.

Hands are still folded. And so is his expression, too

his feet. He folded his entire body, trying to eliminate the trembling

he felt. She's terrified. It was exactly as he remembered inside

her dream.

“Evitation letter forced to be canceled and withdrawn by the party

academi. They found out we were cheating. I'm private

perplexities. What have we done that they suspect of cheating?

But the decision that has been made and cannot be challenged,” Head

The school tried to explain it well. “Do you do what you can

suspected by the academy, Laju?”

But the pace could not answer. He's still petrified, can't process

the news came crashing into him round and round in front of his face. His eyes are closed, though,

take a deep breath. He was crying, hysterical, screaming loudly in the bottom

his heart is deepest. His eyes opened up again. He tried

ensure everything.

“This is serious, sir? On behalf of Pratama Rate?”

The headmaster nodded. His dream came true.

“Ta-but cheat how, sir? There's no entrance exam, right? My

only gave grades reports from seventh to eleven grade to the academy.

How can I cheat?”

“That's him I'm baffling about the academy's accusations. Certainly the side

they won't give false accusations, will they?” Answer the principal

slowly. “Wait. You've done administrative work, right? Or

can't you fill in the incorrect answer at the time of charging?” Ask

The Headmaster deliberately who was precisely seen attacking Laju.

“Iya. I've been doing administrative filling about biodata and

all sorts. I also wrote some essays that were needed by the party

academi. But, how cheating? Where can I cheat? What can I

subtract from my own identity?” Ask the panic rate. His sense of well being slowly did not

can follow.

“Maybe your essay does not meet the standards that the academy needs? Or

you're doing identity falsification? Are you lying about your job and

“Tu-wait! Why did you blame everything on me? Sired

it was myself who said that the academy had already approved the administrative stage

and give me a copy of the acceptance invitation letter. If there is

wrong why do I still get a letter of acceptance? Anyways

the allegations about cheating. Where can I cheat!? Where is my evidence

cheating, sir!? There is no way I failed at writing an essay! This isn't

reasonable, sir!” snaps at the pace that has started to spiral out of control.

“Pacify yourself first, Rate. You know this is very news

it's unbelievable. I try to re-examine what steps we have taken

do so accused of cheating by the academy. I'm not attacking you. Only

trying to discuss about what you have done that is suspected by

academy.”

“OMONG BLANK!!! You are clearly attacking me! I'm not wrong, though,

sir! I have the right to defend myself! It is impossible for me to fail only in stages

easy like this! A fraud? Cheating how!? This must be some kind of wits, Father,

right?” Jerking Rate. His anger began to get out of control.

“Then what do you want us to do? The academy is obviously interesting

back his letters. Even they made our school put into

blacklist,” replied the Headmaster. “Why should I bother cheating

ye? If you can be accepted in the academy it still raises your name

school, right? Or maybe you are cheating? Let's confess, Rate!”

The principal had already prepared a bullet to answer. He hasn't lost.

“What kind of identity can I cheat, sir!? Identity after all

every society is registered in the government. The academy can

doing validation, right?”

“What do you know about identities that cannot be rigged!? Don't be so pretentious

smart man!  Can't you confess

wrong!? As far as I understand this is all your fault, pace. Even the school is willing

bear the name of the school that deteriorated for your sake.”

“Because this all makes no sense, sir! Why they should be attractive

return the invitation letter now? There's still plenty of time to do

validation and re-checking, right? There is no way they are not interested in

outstanding students like me!”

“Don't big head, Rate! Not a few special people like

you! Don't think everyone can't get into the academy! You think it's just you

who got the invitation letter? How many new students

every year at the academy? Hundreds! There are hundreds of students who are similar to you!”

“Not that's the problem!! These allegations are deliberately created by

you are teachers who do not want their students to succeed in life!

What kind of school is this? He also never acknowledged any of my achievements

except for that, but in the name of the school as well. Don't you think all this

happened due to personal grudges huh, sir!?” The rate of blood. She can't

controlling emotions.

“Do not want you to talk like that! Remember you are still talking

with the teacher and the older officers here! Take care of your manners, Laju!”

“NOT THAT'S THE PROBLEM! You guys and dad especially always

switch talk! Where is the evidence from the academy that says I did

cheat? If indeed you are not becus let me take care of myself!

Working with people is always troublesome and unreliable!”

“You want what the evidence is? We're on the blacklist! Even

you can't even do the self-examination to enter the academy! Don't

think everything can happen as you please, dong! It's just out already

you! I plan to start a good discussion even invited to a fight with

impudent student. Bring Rate out!” Snapped the Headmaster, sent the officer

expelling Rate.

“What the fuck? You brash old man! Where your responsibility as

the principal to lead? I could threaten you personally,

sir! Did you forget I had how many connections it could haunt

mr!?”

“Oh, yes? Try it if you dare! What do you want, little boy

teach me!? On what basis can you do that? Just because you can't

going to a favorite school? It's your own fault you crybaby! Ohoho~ idol

school turned out weak, weak, and lackluster like this!? Don't make me laugh, please,

boy!”

The two of them were now snapping at each other, shouting, arguing no direction and

purpose. Expressing hatred, on the basis of personal grudges of each

it has nothing to do with the topic of discussion. They just want to look more

either by defeating his opponent to the point of the final blood. Lucky

they could soon be stopped by teachers and other officers.

“Already already. Calm down, Laju. As the Headmaster said,

we are actually also looking for a solution to this problem,” Mr. Ahmad

take Laju away from the crowded room and look for fresh air outside. “Kita

do this with the purpose of informing you only. To soon

looking for other universities as a backup way in the future.”

The pace slowly obeyed Mr. Ahmad's invitation to leave the room and

cools his heart and mind.

“You also know for yourself that the academy is very strict in the entrance elections

prospective students. If the invitation letter cannot be obtained it is very

it is difficult to enter even with a myriad of billions of dollars though. We just

you want to be able to prepare yourself. Although yes, you also know for sure

can do everything easily,” Mr. Ahmad tried to calm Laju and

make his mood better. “Already, later if there is news again will definitely father

forward to you. Mr first, yes!” Said Mr. Ahmad, disappeared in

the passageway, leaving Laju alone.

Although it had calmed down a bit, Laju still remained confused. Which he

do it now just walk lazily, go follow the whispering wind

and talking. Eventually, he stopped sitting in the school garden, under a tree

shady blooming and flowering.

Actually, this atmosphere is very cool and comfortable. But it does not apply to

life Rate. His future has just been ravaged, by a figure who

it cannot be fought. What should the pace be?

His dream came true. His future was shattered into pieces.

But still Laju could not accept this absurd reality.

He should be able to enter the academy at any price!
