The Noble
Graduation Day #1


Sunlight was not friendly to the atmosphere in the train, someone got up from his seat and walked towards the toilet at the end of the train car. Someone went into the bathroom to wash his face.


“May uncle and aunt be fine without me there?”.


He saw his hour showing two o'clock at fifty-three minutes during the day, exactly the station where the next train stop was his birthplace.


“Should I buy more by by by for others?”


Speakers on board the train sounded indicating an announcement was to be broadcast.


[Notice to all passengers is expected to check their luggage, as the train will arrive at station B in five minutes. I repeat again to all passengers are expected to check their luggage, because in five minutes the train will arrive at station B]


A person kept his phone nailed and out of the toilet, he walked back to his seat to check his luggage which was on top of his seat. After checking all his belongings, he brought his luggage and walked over to the front door of the carriage. At exactly three o'clock the train stops at station B.


“I took too long a day off, I have to get back to work!” immediately


Just as the train stopped, the car door opened.he stepped out of the train and saw many people waiting for the next train or to get on the train. He carefully passed through the crowd of people and little by little he finally managed to pass through the crowd of people, without realizing he was already in front of the train ticket buying place.


Someone suddenly approached him without him realizing and greeted him as if he knew about himself, he turned to the direction the voice appeared and was surprised by the person who greeted him.


“Why are you here?"


“To where have you been on vacation? Why not bring your friend? Oh yes, where by her?”


“You never change huh?… does not give someone to breathe.”


“Hmm?? Did ya?? Oh yes you must have brought by from your vacation spot right?”


“Hahhh.. alright but don't get too hopeful.”


“Still William.. Hehe .. Oh yes are you out of this going to school to pick up your graduation letter? If so I will also go there, would you like to go there?.”


"William" is the only child of his parents, he has lived independently after 10 years left by both parents because of an accident. His life was very heavy at that time he was 9 years old and had to feel the events that were not desired by everyone, but the existence of his aunt and uncle made his life easier and more comfortable for him.


His uncle and aunt gave him help by taking care of him affectionately. When she was fifteen, she started to want to live alone.


But his uncle did not allow it because he was a child, his aunt allowed it but had to be supervised by people he knew and must be clear where he lived. His uncle decided to put himself in a house that was close to his former workplace that was chosen for William, because the owner of the workplace is a schoolmate of his uncle and his uncle had worked there as well. So that person can watch each other's growth.


“Hey my eyes are here Candy, not there.. You always look in the direction of food whenever it is in front of your eyes.”


"Hehe.. Sorry."


"Candy" was one of William's friends who was always cheerful and active in anything. He really likes sweet food whatever it is that sweet he will eat, maybe that's why he was named Candy by his parents.


It was probably because in her childhood she chose sweet foods over other goodies, it is not unusual for a rich person because his parents will put some items for him to choose when the baby can already see and move. The possibility makes him like sweets especially now the company of his parents is a company that produces sweet foods.


Where there's a sweet thing that's where there's Candy. He wanted to taste the various sweets that existed all over the world and whatever was in front of his eyes.


“Then we go out first looking for a taxi to go to school, I can't stand the weather today.The weather is hot now”.


The school they both wanted to attend was the Newxville school, the "Elite” children's school where almost all the students who attended were filled by the children of the rich and state officials. One of them is like Candy the son of parents who master the sweet food business in the city.


Very lucky William can attend school there because he got a scholarship, because the school is intended for people of the upper class who can enter the place and can not enter it carelessly. Even every year there are only two scholarship students who can enter the school.


Despite getting a scholarship, William had to study hard to maintain his achievements so that the people who supported him were not disappointed with him and he could survive in the expensive school. In addition to studying hard, he also has to work hard so that the needs of daily life can be fulfilled. That way he does not want to get continuous help from his uncle or aunt.


Those who want to befriend him do not care about the status of others, their parents' jobs or their wealth. A group consisting of various families in it.


Outside of school they often gather together although not always complete, because almost all of their friends take additional classes that are usually done by rich children in general. Like tea drinking group, dancing and so on. They had promised to celebrate graduation at a cafe close to the school.


William and Melody walk together out of the crowd who are heading to the station gate with Candy still busy with by the given by William. When he got outside the gate, William saw a car lying on the side of the road and there was someone waiting beside the car with a face that looked familiar to him.


“Huhh... Seriously? You are still not independent!?”


“Hehe.. You know for yourself, my parents would forbid going alone. Hence at all times there should be someone accompanying me go.”


As the weather gets hotter, they decide to get into the car and Candy asks her driver to go to school. The journey to school takes a short time because the distance from the station is not so far from the city center where their school is located. William looked out the window and looked around the city they were passing through.


“It turns out not so much has changed huh, even though I left here just a moment?”


It didn't take long, they finally arrived before the school gate. It is not an "Elite" school if the vehicle of a person attending school there is not brought into the school area. William saw there were still many cars scattered there and a group of students who were still chatting there.


Most students who attend school there will take their graduation papers in the afternoon, due to their family affairs are so complicated and many other factors that William does not understand.


“It should be late in the afternoon to be calmer?!”


The car stopped right in front of the entrance. Before the two of them get out, Candy talks something over with her driver and tells him to drive her car in a normal place. After that they finally got out of the car and the car was running to leave the place.


“Oh yes William, there is an item I left on the class table. You go first, I'll catch up!”


Candy goes to her class to retrieve her leftover belongings, while William walks to her homeroom to retrieve her graduation papers. He walked up the stairs to pass through the school's door, aware that the school "Elite" William could only shake his head.


“Why can I also attend school here?!”


William passed through several teachers while greeting him and several other rooms that did not know how many there were, finally he arrived in front of his homeroom.


“Think why this school is so big!!!!”


Before going in to pick up his graduation letter, William paused first to look at the leaderboard beside the room. Some of the students also saw the board, he looked for his name from left to right and finally looked. The second rank he got, studying hard and enterprising can actually make himself survive in the school "Elite.


William looked at the one rank name that was above his name and he was not surprised at all by who occupied it, one of his same friends went to school there and the one who got the scholarship was the same.


“Actually I do not like the existence of leaderboards like this, because it shows the weakness of everyone. But I also can't do anything and maybe if someone wants to change it should get a vote from every student and teacher, maybe even his parents too.”


“But I still lost to Melody huh? Maybe I'm learning less.”


Suddenly a man spoke from behind without William noticing.


“What's less William?”


“... Melody.. You just surprised me."


“Hehe.. Who do you think you are? So what was lacking? Less vacation huh?”


“Forget... Where are the other friends of friends? Why are you still at school.. Don't you usually take it in the morning?”


“I don't know where else?.. I helped my mom this morning. So it's only daytime to pick it up.”.
