I'm Still in High School
Chapter 40 Ceremony
Gwen kept walking away from Antok and colleagues, the girl immediately headed towards her class, but to Gwen's surprise, when just one step up into her class, seen his classmates gathered in front of the class, they brought various balloons, and the speech over the victory achieved by the girl. Novi, Aldo and Raffi are at the front, and Alana and Robert also carry Winner's welcome ribbon,
"Happy Gwen... congratulation.Our champion, our class is indeed great...." Novi yelled in appreciation to the girl.
But there was no reaction to Gwen, the girl just stared blankly at her friends.A few times, Gwen shook her head. Having mastered himself...
"Novi.. Aldo's.. Raffi, what the fuck. I don.t like it... If you know, I've just got President Osis and the other OSIS administrators, for being too welcoming to me with this kind of speech. And now instead of you, do you think I'd be happy to hear and get this kind of treatment." in a flat tone, Gwen finally reacted.
"Please Gwen.. Let's just say this morning, you're the one who comforts us.... Not we give you a word, but think upside down. Your victory can cheer us up, cheer the class, remember the word Religious Teacher, please others is worship. Isn't that right.,,?" my dear friend Gwen, who knows very well that the girl doesn't like the ceremony, tries to soften Gwen's heart.
Aldo just fell silent and smiled looking at her, because at the beginning he had already told the friends in the class, if Gwen would not like it, but because the other friends agreed, but because the other friends agreed, and asked him to join, finally with the forced Aldo also joined in giving appreciation to Gwen.
"Yes Gwen. Come on, once in a while, our class is as lively as this. In order for our morning class to be canceled by the teacher, so that there is no learning.want ya Gwen..." Alana spoke up, reassuring my Novi colleague.
Gwen fell silent, then the girl took a deep breath and walked towards her seat. Suddenly, classmates sang a song from the band Jamrud but changed the lyrics of the song,
"today's the day you're waiting for, though,
increase one victory, be happy
what I gave you was not a clock and a ring
not a bunch of flowers or poetry, nor a heart necklace
sorry, not stingy or unwilling, not a little capital
what I want to give you is a heartfelt prayer
may god protect you
and achieved all your thoughts and ideals
hopefully given a long, healthy life forever
may god protect you
and achieved all your thoughts and ideals
hopefully given a long, healthy life forever"
"Hello class... is it still a long time for your pleasure this morning, to not realize the arrival of Mister Satria in class...?" suddenly there was the voice of Mister Satria. The classroom atmosphere was momentarily silent, and Gwen felt that her friends were feeling pressured by the arrival of the class teacher,
"Sorry Mister Satria.friends made the event by giving appreciation to Gwen's victory at the Mister Olympics. Is Mister deigned to replace the first and second meetings this morning with assignment only, because Gwen plans to invite all friends in this class to have breakfast together in the food court..." suddenly without anyone asking, Gwen's voice, representing the class, spoke to Mister Satria,
The class added silence, and all the students stared at Gwen in disbelief. The girl dared to make mistakes with him, but she did not like what her friends did.
"Hemmmph.well Gwen, Mister Satria in particular has not given you any appreciation. Get all the friends in your class. Check Google Classroom, Mister Satria's job will be uploaded there..."
"Horeee.. thanks to Mister Satria.." the whole class went back to being excited, after hearing the class teacher's words that morning, Gwen just smiled and shook her head at the furore,

Food Courts
Finally to prove his words to Mister Satria, Gwen finally brought all her classmates to the food court. Novi and Asep helped Alana and Robert help with the collection of menus ordered by classmates.
"Asep.. so fast and cook can be together, why should be asked one by one. Just order the meatballs, or siomay, so the food court waiter just once prepares the ingredients," Raffi gave directions to Asep.
"Mmmph is right too huh, why should I bother. But out of pity if there is no breakfast, some crispy chicken is just like rice, others siomay..." Asep who originally recorded his friends, immediately turned towards the direction towards the cashier. The three friends who were also doing data collection, immediately turned around to Asep.
"What the hell Sep... We're half not yet.." Alana protested Asep who had delivered the order to the cashier.
"Udah do not bother, even long presentation. Raffi proposal anyway, we order some menus directly, let us later choose which menu we want. If you don't like it, just add the order, it's easy. Gwen has said, there are no limits no matter how endless, she will pay for herself," Asep explained.
The three young men looked at each other and smiled, they agreed with the proposal. The three then walked to the chair, joining his other friends.
"Oh yes Gwen. by the way, next month we will take the Graduation Exam.. Where you've been prepared, and whether you've determined where Gwen will go.." Aldo suddenly asked Gwen,
"Hemmph.how is Ald. The school asked me to continue to participate in the international Olympics in America next Sunday, the possibility I have left for the country of Uncle Sam... For the Graduation exam to be replaced with my participation in the Ald Olympics, so I don't really think much about the Graduation Test.." Gwen answered Aldo's question.
"Oh yeah.., what a good chance you have Gwen, just take it, for college purposes, is there a picture.." Aldo pursues about the continuation of the studies of the girl.
Gwen smiled bitterly, suddenly her memory drifted, recalling the conversation within her family. Atmadja's grandfather and her husband Barra, wanted Gwen to follow her husband, and they would live in Finland. So. if Gwen wants to continue her studies, in Finland she has to continue,
"Where is Ald. I haven't thought in that direction. It was Andrew and Madja's grandfather who had chosen a place for me to continue my studies. He said abroad, it's just that I don't know in which country, so I'm going to pursue further studies.." Gwen has not been able to tell if she is going to Finland. Until now, the girl had indeed not been able to open up about her status.
