When I entered the hall, there were already many people gathered, the hall was large enough to accommodate many people and there was a podium in front of it, because it was already quite crowded so only the seats in the back row were left.
I sat in one of the chairs in the back and it turned out that next to me there was this guy I hit, and when I looked at him he just smiled at me, I hope he forgot about it.
Without waiting for long, the welcoming event of new students was immediately started.
Started by the host as the opening ceremony, after that followed by a speech from the chairman of OSIS.
Then a woman with brown eyes and hair tied in a ponytail climbed onto the podium, and it seemed like I had seen her somewhere.
Then he opened his mouth and introduced himself.
"Before, thank you to the host who has invited me to speak, the respected principal of Casolie Junior High School, who I respect, the fathers and mothers of the teachers and the staff that I cannot name one by one without diminishing my respect, and the new students all that we are proud of, for the new students, for the new students, introduce my name is Caroline Cheastar I as the chairman of OSIS Junior High School Casolie welcome and welcome to join the Casolie Junior High School family, I hope you can be comfortable with this school, I hope you can be comfortable with, as well as being able to honor and boast this school, so many words from me and if there is a word that is not pleasing or wrong please forgive, thank you all."
[PROC...PROK PROK PROK PROK] *sfx applause sound
The school hall was immediately filled with applause, as the OSIS chairman began to descend from the top of the podium the sound of applause began to subside and then the event was taken over again by the host.
"Well, now there will be a speech from our principal, Mr. Prof. Dr. Gustave Cheastar S.Pd., M.Pd., for Mr. Gustave is welcome to climb the podium, the time and place I send.”
'Cheastar', that's what the host mentioned when mentioning the name of the principal, the, it seems like the principal comes from the same family as the OSIS chairman or maybe even the principal is the father of the OSIS chairman because they look almost similar.
Then a middle-aged man walked up and climbed the podium, the impression that person gave off was like an authoritative old man, by walking and his sturdy posture makes him look handsome like looking young even though some of his physical characteristics have begun to experience some aging. The hair color of the headmaster was also brown but slightly darker than the hair color of the head of OSIS, his dark brown eyes were staring at us all calmly, quietly, and with a slight frown on her face it made her look even more dignified.
The headmaster opened his mouth and spoke.
"Well, as the previous host had said, I was the principal of Casolie Middle School, Gustave Cheastar. I congratulate all of you who graduated and entered this school, let's give appreciation to all of us."
[PROK PROK PROK] *sfx applause sound
The room was filled with the sound of the applause of the new disciples, some were even crying out in tears at this moment, she said, it seems like they are very proud to be able to enter this school and maybe they were quite touched by the speech of the principal earlier.
The voice of the headmaster was quite heavy and sounded dignified, and his voice sounded very soothing.
After the applause began to die down, the headmaster began to resume his speech earlier.
"This school is the best Junior High School in the city with a variety of complete facilities and this school is also famous for the achievements of its students, including, so I hope to all of you who are here do the same, and I will give you a gift of achievement and honor the name of this school, so I hope you fight as well as possible in this school by utilizing the various facilities that have been prepared by this school, alright so many words from me, happy fighting!" The headmaster ended his words and then a silent atmosphere enveloped the hall.
[PROK PROK PROK] *sfx applause sound
Then the sound of applause enveloped the entire hall, and perhaps even more rousing than during the speech of the OSIS chairman, before I thought the speech of the principal would be quite time consuming and boring it turned out that his speech was quite short and not too boring in my opinion, just ordinary.
After that the sound of applause began to subside little by little, the headmaster began to walk down and went from the podium to his chair.
‘Relax, I have prepared the speech I will read and I memorize, even I have practiced for this, I can definitely do it.’ I try to calm myself down by motivating myself.
“Alright, thank you for the outstanding speech from our Principal, next there will be a speech from one of the new student representatives, for Yuna Halliwell is welcome to take the podium, time and place I send.”
Finally the long-awaited time arrived, my name has been called by the host indicating that I must immediately climb the podium.
“Hufft hu I sighed and calmed myself down, I was pretty nervous right now and my heart was beating pretty fast I guess.
Then I got up from my chair and started walking towards the podium, kept walking and tried not to look around because it would make me even more nervous.
My eyes were only fixed and focused on walking forward, I didn't care about anyone else, let's just say there was no one here at all.
‘Arghhh, although I try my best I can still feel people around me staring at me and whispering something.’
I tried to ignore them, and kept walking forward, and I finally managed to climb the podium safely.
Perhaps it cannot be said 'congratulations' because what is waiting for me right now is something even worse.
This is likened to a saying that says ‘regardless of the tiger's mouth goes into the mouth of crocodile’. I then began to walk to the front of the pulpit in the middle of the podium, seeing me who had been on the podium the host handed me the mic.
I smiled and thanked him, then I started looking forward, towards the way my eyes looked at me.
Then I began to strengthen my heart, and took a deep breath before I finally began to speak.
