On the day of departure Debbie missed the group bus because she came late. Again because her dad drove 30 minutes late from the gathering time. Debbie almost cried because she could not join the camp. The teacher looked for a way for her to leave, catch up and join others. “I went there too, sir. so Debbie can come with me.” One of the mentores gave advice. “That Right, Sir." said the teacher who handled the event. "Yes, but is it really okay?” staring at his daughter who looked anxious about the continuity of her fate. “Of course,” he put a smile then faced the young one among them. “Debbie, will you go with me in this car?" Asked the mentor this time. Debbie saw the car that would transport her to the location of camp. She was silent for a moment before finally deciding to accept the offer, nodding her head slowly. saw his daughter's made decision and give approval. no other way he must entrust Debbie in the care of the mentor teacher. “I'm sorry, sir, for causing such troubl
Pressure test in the sense of the word abbreviated from the word mental mentoring or mental guidance, is not a foreign thing even in the world of education in schools. This can be found in school organizations, one of which is extracurricular activities. Back on the purpose of this camper is to build familiarity, train mental and independence of participants, especially first graders. in the middle of night events are entertainment that can not be separated in school events. Marching troop plans to gather at 02.00 A.M at a predetermined place. In the main event tonight the new members are shaken both physically and mentally. They were awakened at midnight by force, gathered in a queue. After that, it was divided into several groups and then told to walk around the camper location area. In the middle of a silent, desolate, cold and dark night they are gathered on their own. In that state they could only rely on each other's group mates no matter what. Reportedly, the seniors have pre
No one thinks she had a chance to see Alfred during this camp from close distance. Due to the fact that the location of red-cross and marching troop activities are always far apart. In addition to the campfire last night which took place briefly because of the rain to disperse the event. Then who would have thought that this morning Alfred came by himself when Ivy no longer hoped. The way of life is indeed strange, can not be guessed or planned once it can change. “Man, hold on, we've arrived at the health unit.” Harry was carrying Alfred whose face looked pale and his body limp. “Why is it? Is there a problem?” No, it was not Ivy who asked and handled Alfred but a senior. Ivy there only plays the role as a helpful extra. But actually the extra task is not just dumb but must be observed carefully. And learn from the way seniors handle or help people who need help. “He vomited after eating. May still feel nauseous or dizzy.” It is clear that Harry is in a state of panic. "Eat wha
A heavy separation Debbie went through, not entirely sadness because she and Amy made many good memories during camp last time. After Amy's departure, there is Sarah as her next best friend. They always go to extracurricular activities together from Ciremai to Malabar if there is a training schedule. Even if they go to different extracurriculars. Debbie joined Marching and Sarah joined red-cross. In the days of extracurricular exercises. They will depart together from Ciremai to Malabar using their special public transport. Once they were also forced to walk up to the highway passed by City public transport because there was no more public transport running anymore which had returned to the terminal that afternoon. Although the walk is quite long and tiring, they enjoy it. Along the way they chat alot about anything or joking so exciting until the trip is not felt. Quiet streets, tall shady trees lined that shade pedestrians, Debbie loves it all. Sometimes she deliberately goes home
Entering the second semester, Debbie has become part of the big family of this school. The days change with this and that, filled with trivia and all kinds of stories. Through Sarah, Debbie got to know Ivy, a red-cross member in class 10-3. Sarah introduced her to Debbie as a close friend during extracurricular activities. While Debbie after Amy's departure has not had close friends in extracurricular until now. Therefore, she is always alone when participating in extracurricular activities. As per her glasses-wearing appearance and reputation at school, Ivy is the smartest of the three. If Sarah excelled in English, Ivy excelled in math. Ivy is obsessed with grades, assertive in expressing opinions and competitive. Like Debbie who can't be ignored when reading comics. Likewise Ivy cannot be interrupted when solving mathematical formulas. Once Ivy said to Debbie. “I want to be the best in mathematics because I want to get someone's recognition me so that he is aware of my existence
The more sought after and observed, Debbie increasingly feels Ivy's taste is beyond the ordinary or normal word. Alfred does have tremendous advantages academically but in other aspects he also has many shortcomings, the conclusion Alfred is just an ordinary person is not as perfect as Ivy describes. “He was weak physically, also very easy to tease." Now that Debbie remembers Alfred's figure “he vomited badly when eating green bean porridge, just because the upperclassman said the porridge was mixed with flies.” Ivy, who heard Debbie's every word carefully since she started telling the story, only smiled even though the minus about her idol was explained clearly. Especially considering that day, when Ivy gave a package of rice porridge to Alfred. There was no chance or possibility for Ivy to feelslightest implied on her facial expression. Then it's true what Debbie's initial opinion was about Ivy's one-sided feeling that already left her blind to anything. “Then, what else?" Ivy as
Grace was surprised when she saw the list of participants in the Math Olympiad, Alfred's name was not there. She thought he would also participate in the Olympics because the ambitious boy like Alfred, who she knew only cares about accumulated achievements, would not let this opportunity pass by. “Why don't you go to the Math Olympiad?" Asked Grace astonished. Alfred was sitting alone at his desk solving some math problem when Grace came to him. “I want to. But the teacher advised me to focus on one, let the other kid have a chance too.” “Anyway... Poor thing." Grace teased that there was no hint of a concerned expression on her face at all. “What about you?" Grace asked Harry, who was sitting not far from Alfred. Harry did not fully understand the meaning of the question, since he was also busy himself observing a thing that he was staring at carefully. “Me? Why me?" Harry was distracted by what was in his hand when heard his name being called. Grace's face turned sour, achin
A few days after Ivy's outpouring of heart, Debbie finally felt disturbed also at the figure named Harry. Although Ivy says there is no point in blaming others, Debbie is still indirectly a bit carried away by the name of Alfred’s friend. Because a small fad for him has caused adverse consequences for important things for someone. In extracurricular activities Alfred and Harry did look very close and always together, exactly like what Sarah said. Alfred was a calm person with a relaxed disposition, very smart in the lessons and ranked first in his class. Perhaps it was this plus point that made Alfred popular among other friends. Alfred is never seen alone, nor does he seem to be familiar with many people. One thing Debbie realizes after observing him during extracurricular activities is that Alfred's sense of humor is very bad. Maybe this is the reason that makes all friends happy to tease him. Harry caught Debbie watching in his direction from the spot where she was sitting alone
10 years ago, college. Joan's meeting with Debbie is purely coincidental, their relationship is old school friends. Joan's campus student organization activities are located on Lynd's campus without Joan knowing that Debbie is studying there. Likewise, Debbie did not expect to meet Joan, her classmate in her third year of high school on that occasion. Unfortunately, when the two of them bump into each other in the late afternoon, Debbie is on her way to the classroom. Yes, Debbie had a class schedule at that time. But Joan without hesitation asked Debbie to meet after her class schedule was over for the day. After all, Joan's organization event will also last until late at night. Debbie agreed even though for a moment she hesitated to give certainty to Joan. Because after graduating from school, an old friend that Debbie met was Joan's and only him. During these 4 years, Debbie had not intentionally avoided him, but indeed she had completely lost contact with her school acquaintance
The atmosphere at the reunion venue was like their prom night in their last year of school. The sparkling lights give a romantic feel and the mellow music enlivens the warm atmosphere of intimacy. On this night there were many faces stored in memory that Sarah had to greet one by one. She had deliberately combed the place in every corner to make sure no old friend was missed for her to approach. Yes, among the other members of the reunion, Sarah was probably the busiest that night. "Oh my gosh! How are you? We haven't seen each other in a long time! Where have you been?” With high enthusiasm, Sarah approached the collection of familiar faces to her and joined in the chat. A little awkward with foreign feelings, because long time no see and dramatic changes in the figure she recognized before. "Oh, nothing wrong! Where have you been? Why are you only joining the reunion now?” Said one of them, who also immediately recognized Sarah's face even though they had not seen each other for
Harry was the first to hear the bad news. Sarah wanted to tell Emma and Kinsey right away but the exam Bell had already started ringing. With a chaos of feeling Sarah goes into the exam room to take part in the second mock exam. In an instant, the news spread throughout the school. News about the student who had an accident while leaving for school on the day of the test trial. But the name of the person mentioned in the news word by different mouth, eventually changes to be several versions. Some say the student who crashed was a boy from class 12-1. There were also exaggerations like the student's head was leaking and there were some broken bones. There are some people who say the accident is just a lie, deliberately made by the student that pretended to not follow the mock exam. As if it wasn't enough to cry at the beginning when she first heard the news of Debbie’s accident. Now Emma, Kinsey and Sarah are crying in congregation in the school cafeteria, regardless of the views fr
“Time is up. Quickly swap with your seatmate, we check it together.” According to the order of Mr. Marco, the children exchanged test papers with their respective peers. 5 questions of daily quiz are given as a warm-up exam, after the test they'll be discussed thoroughly one by one question number. One question is worth 20 points, so how many questions are correct multiplied by the value. The five questions were completed and discussed, then results… “How come you guys! Out of 36 people, no one can score 100? And it's an easy question. If this is as far as you all had, you can't do it. Then what about the true exam tomorrow, HUH! What about the final exam!!” Mr. Marco began to lecture. Yes, how not Mr. Marco lectures them. The children are also at fault, on this taste in the whole class no one can score 100. Most of them are 60, most of them are 40, 20, 0. Moreover, that's only five questions, and it's been discussed before. How can he not be angry because of them? “Let's see, I
Debbie tutoring schedule with Ivy began to start. In this final semester Debbie super extra increases her study schedule, both at school and at home. She even asked Ivy specifically to teach her math lessons after school. In addition to Ivy, Sarah also helps her learn other subject. Sometimes Debbie also asked about material that she did not understand to Emma, Kinsey, or anyone who was good in their respective fields. She did all that for the graduation examination which will be held in a few months. Mrs. Lynda as the homeroom teacher, to tighten and create after-school study groups on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. To the extent that Debbie's break hours are used to read books or do practice questions in between her lunch. “Learning is important but don't forget to eat, also take care of your health. If you fall sick, it can be troublesome.” That was Debbie's reason when Barry commented she didn't take studies with him seriously because studied while eating. “Is it finished yet
Today is a special day for Debbie. She is very happy and grateful that there are still people who care and love her. Get together and celebrate Debbie's birthday today. Friends remember her birthday and just congratulate her because she is already very happy. The attention and affection they give makes her feel that she is not alone. Debbie can't imagine what it would be like without them. What could have been done without them all, she would be nothing, would not have survived to get here, to be here as it is now. Besides Debbie, of course there are still many out there who celebrate birthdays. But don't go searching too far. Around her there is also one more person who is celebrating a birthday. Darren, the kid of former class 11-7 and current class was 12-1, just like Debbie also has a birthday on this day. On the same date, month and year as her. Because it was the same day, month and year the two became twins called their friends. Debbie wanted to congratulate him but she had
Debbie was only able to look at Eric who was playing basketball on the court from Emma's classroom window. She felt the distance between them was getting further apart furthermore by day. They used to be so close that often argued. But now all of it seem never happened, it feels like a dream. Now Debbie was only able to watch him silently from a distance without being able to do anything. In fact, she used to be so free to be by Eric's side until his existence became a habit for her. A habit that is not easy to leave behind. Why is this feeling so painful? Why loving someone has to be this painful. She really wanted to say, "I like you. Even if you don't like me back, I can accept it. But my only request is, please don't act like I never existed.” to Eric. But after says it's all Eric will change. Will he understand? Repeatedly she wished the radio broadcast had never happened and Eric didn't know her feelings. can they stay still as before. Just one wish, she only wants Eric to a
Actually Debbie also did not want to be taught by Mr. Marco. If she can choose herself which teacher she wants to be teaching so. she is not suitable for the way Mr. Marco teaches. But what can she do who has no influence nor has any power. Be patient, that's all Debbie can do. Besides, it's a sin to fight against an elder. There is also a good thing, Mr. Marco's teaching method is very relaxed. So relaxed that a few kids can learn while snacking in class. But still the absolute rule is not to be caught. Until now there have been no cases of students snacking in class getting caught. Even the most rascal one in the class deliberately eat in front of Mr. Marco, with a joking attitude in the classroom for friends to see, unclear if he does that to entertain his friend during class hour in order not to get bored. Although it is very clear he is chewing food, Mr. Marco is indifferent. don't know if the vision unseeing it or if it's blurry. Then it's a good point again if Mr. Marco gives
It was a beautiful, sunny Tuesday morning, but this morning Debbie was already making people mad. She didn't mean to upset Sarah so early in the morning at school like this. she also did not expect Sarah to be so angry, even though she only said innocently. “Sarah, tissue class ran out again. Let's get a new one!” Sarah was immediately angry. “It's so easy for you to speak! I bought that tissue for the teacher from class cash. I just bought it a few day ago and you’re the one who used it all! I'm not going to buy any more tissues, buy it yourself!" Sarah said sadistic. Debbie didn't expect her request to be so bad and make Sarah upset like that. After all, since when has Sarah been such a dictator? But what Debbie can do is only thought positively. Maybe today is not the right day, the day which Sarah had a bad grumpy mood. Moreover Sarah's words were true, too. class dues, it is better to buy more important needs. Debbie knows very well how the class finances struggles to collect
