VACILANTE: IMPERFECT

29 - First Program

Today is a beautiful day. The sunlight is so hot, but the wind still blows to keep the body cool. All students have now lined up in the field, waiting for OSIS's first program event to take place. Youth Oath.

Different from other ceremonies, today all students wear traditional clothes like or pride. That way, it can be seen that the citizens of Genmi High School are not only from one region, but from many regions.

Like other OSIS programs, today's program will begin with an opening ceremony. All the students have heard rumors going around, he said OSIS is working with one of the art extracurriculars to showcase a parade.

"It's a ngaret, isn't it?" tanya Devan made Nasha who had been busy reading the arrangement of the show turn her head.

"Ngaret 5 minutes, but not 'pa-pa. He said his appearance won't take long."

Devan nodded. Then he again noticed the extracurricular art that was displaying a parade themed Youth Pledge day. Can Devan see that all the students are so enthusiastic. He could also see that none of the students were not wearing customary clothing.

Alvin approached Nasha, whose eyes were not out of sight before him. He gave Nasha a bottle of water, "Sha, drink first."

Nasha smiled, she kept the arrangement of the events she had brought before at a table nearby, "Please, Vin."

Just as Nasha was about to grab a bottle of the drink, Alvin pulled his hand back making Nasha frown. A few seconds later, he laughed softly. Alvin's habit of opening the bottle cap for himself.

"Lo has to be energy efficient, Sha."

Nasha laughed as she softly shook her head, "There's a lo, Vin." Nasha took the water Alvin gave her, took a sip and looked back at Alvin who was still faithful to look at her while smiling, "Lo has a drink too, Vin?"

Alvin nodded slowly, "Udah was before here."

A clap of applause immediately filled the field made Nasha and Alvin turn his head. Devan smiled as he clapped his hands, satisfied with the extracurricular work he believed in.

"Devan!" someone shouted from the end of the corridor.

Devan who was surprised immediately turned his head, not forgetting Nasha and Alvin who were nearby.

"Liana," Devan replied. The smile that had just now burst suddenly disappeared from seeing the different look on Liana's face.

"There's a problem."

Alvin sighed, "Now what else, Li?"

Devan who did not understand just looked confused at Alvin.

"Now it's not me, it's the jury."

Nasha frowned not understanding, "Juri? You mean teachers?"

Liana nodded confirming, "Tadi Bu Lili said that the KBM should still be implemented. As for the races are alternating."

"meaning?" devan asked, not understanding.

"So who participated in the race, dapet dispensation. While those who do not participate in the race, must remain in class and join the KBM."

Nasha, Alvin, and Devan sighed at the same time. The next second they looked at each other, confused by what to do. Problems always arise at the wrong time. No one wants to, but trouble comes uninvited.

"First, we announce first to all students to enter their respective classes. After that, the OSIS board gathered in the OSIS room," Devan ordered and answered a nod by his three friends. Devan then turned to look at Liana who was still neutralizing her breath, "Li, take care of the dispensation letter."

°°°

Devan moved some of his fingers to massage his temple. This sudden change made his head feel heavy. He had to quickly decide, otherwise everything would fall apart. Perhaps other problems will arise, such as the absence of a race on the anniversary of this Youth Pledge.

"Gue agreed more on what Nasha said earlier. Race the speech, and the first stage is smartly meticulous in the second break. To make essays, and posters when you get home from school," Alvin said, opening his voice after a few minutes of silence.

Amanda nodded in agreement, "For the meticulously intelligent committee it seems like it has to go the extra mile because it has to directly assess and announce who passes to the next stage. And, for the final stage of intelligent meticulous we held after school."

Devan nodded small. He then turned to Liana who was focused on his laptop with Nasha who was beside him helping him, "The committee's dispensation letter has been sorted out?" tanyakanya.

"In a moment," Liana replied without shifting her focus from the laptop screen.

"OK," Devan said, confirming his seat, "The race will continue with the system described by Alvin and Amanda. For the speech race, the first and second stages are intelligently meticulous, to be carried out during the second break. As for the essay race, and the poster was held after school," he said to give a decision.

All the OSIS administrators nodded in understanding of what Devan was talking about. Next they began to re-read about the procedure of running the race. Even if the times change, everything has to go according to plan.

Liana raised her hand and stood up, "Representative of the race committee held during the second break please go to each class to ask who is the class representative who will take part in the race. After that, leave it to me. I'll make the dispensation letter, " added Liana.

Nasha leaned her back on the chair. His mummified mind increased because of the atmosphere of the OSIS room that was so noisy. However, suddenly a pair of hands covering her ears made Nasha turn her head.

"What's up, Vin? You're acting here getting weirder!"

Alvin laughed softly, "Gue know you don't like the atmosphere of kayak gini, right? I don't want to, yes, your head broke."

Both Nasha's eyes were rounded and her hand reflexively hit Alvin's shoulder, "About!"

"Alvin," called Devan and made Alvin take his hand off Nasha and turn, "Come, to Lili's mom for the meeting's results."

Alvin sighed while looking at Nasha who was holding back his laughter, "OK," he replied lazily.

Alvin got up from his stool. But before moving his legs away, Alvin quickly ruffled Nasha's hair, making the owner just close his eyes holding in fury.

"Lo won't be Alvin, Sha?" ask Liana. His eyes were focused on the laptop.

Nasha shook her head slowly, "Don't know, huh. I don't know how Alvin feels."

Liana frowned and turned her head, "Didn't it seem that Alvin likes lo?"

"Gue doesn't know, Alvin's attitude shows he likes me, or just thinks of me as a friend. I'm afraid I'm hoping too much, Li."

Liana nodded in understanding. Then he returned to playing his fingers on the keyboard, and his eyes refocused.

"Gue guess, you like Alvin, Li."

Liana's fingers suddenly came to a halt from her activities, "Huh?" tanyanya looked at Nasha in surprise.

"When before the nomination of a new OSIS, I was shocked when I met Alvin. I think you like Alvin."

Liana shook her head quickly, "I mean that time yes I was shocked. There's nothing else. And, as good as Alvin is, I wouldn't be able to feel the same way about him."

Nasha frowned, "Why?"

"Because everyone knows, Alvin likes you, not everyone else."

°°°

The atmosphere of the room is now so quiet, all that is left is the sound of the steps of the committee, and the sound of fingers coming into contact with the keyboard. Everyone in this room looks very focused. The committee that focuses on watching, and participants who focus on finding ideas from each word for word in the essay.

"The time is only five minutes away" said Windi—, manager of OSIS and race committee essay.

Nasha who was originally leaning on the back wall of the classroom is now improving her position to be more robust, not forgetting she improved her OSIS pride suit. He then moved his legs, and his eyes remained focused on examining each participant.

"If something is done, can tell us so that the data can be copied on the flash," said Nasha in a firm voice that he made up.

Nasha approached one of the race organizers, she then gave him a few pendants, "I'll drop, yeah."

Dinanda—someone who was given a flash by Nasha—nodded while smiling indecently. Nasha stepped back on her feet, and she slowly opened the classroom door. The atmosphere outside the classroom is so different. Here it is very crowded because many students have not returned to their homes.

"Is this sorted?" greet Alvin as Nasha exits the classroom.

Nasha smiled and shook her head, "Before a second."

Alvin gives Nasha a black plastic bag. The confused Nasha just accepted it and opened it straight away. There are a few bread packs in it.

"Who's this for?"

"For you, for whom else."

"Kok, a lot of it?"

Alvin smiled sweetly. He then folded his hands in front of his chest, "Thinking while struggling also needs energy."
