Chapter 4 : Mediocre Highschool
***
It’s already 8 pm, when we finally arrived at home. My over excited grandma still swooned about some handsome and polite Master of Ceremony that lead grandma’s event at the plaza. It’s also some kya kya sound while rambling at how she wish to be fifty years younger. And no, I don’t want to hear anymore detail about it…
…And yes, Actually, i feel bad for my deceased Grandpa….
I also felt myself grinning ear to ear, that MC,…if he know that he was lusted over by some Grannies…, I wonder what sort of twitching smile he would have…(cue giggling like crazy )
‘Well,…’ wiping my unexistence tears, and calming myself. ‘Job IS still just a Job, maybe someone like that, already familiarized themselves with such condition?’
“If it were me….” I murmured, {shudder} feeling creeped out with the mental image. “Whatever,…” sighing while Scratching behind my neck, then I then walked opening the plastic bag that containing a take out Fried rice that I buy on street vendor near the park.
Grandma already headed to her room to rest in, she said that she already take dinner at the event before. Even if she was looked so hyped up, it might be the old age that affecting her, and making her exhausted easily. Setting my fried rice to a plate, and making iced lychee syrup, I’m started my dinner in silence. After finished, I’m started to washing the dishes.
Talk about Highschool, Mom and Grandma not giving me anymore clue about it. Except for the name of the school…The 45th Soera Highscool. And no…that was not counted as detail, they didn’t even give me a school brochure, or even heard of that school name, anyways..
Walking to my room, I silently took out my laptop and turned it on, also activating my phone’s hotspot. I’m start typing the school name. but the notification about [DID NOT MATCH ANY DOCUMENTS] In my web browser make me falter.
Say about it…this 45th Highschool is.. I started to turn back and search list of highschool at Soera City.
Its not the 1st, 2nd, 5th , and 9th Highschool that well known as Highschool ‘complex’ as in the four school is centered in the silver ring area. Or the 15th highschool that specialized to Marine cadets, 19th Highschool of its Arts and celebritist student, or the 28th Highschool that famous for its athlete student, and the last time I heard about soera’s local highschool just till the number 40th, so how in the hell there was no mention list for 41th and above, like the 45th highschool?? except if there’s some fairy town around and magically build a new school without anyone knowing??
Wait, my thought strayed from its straight way…
And I don’t think this 45th Highschool would be a private school one either. Cause In Soera’s there only have four faction of private school. There always N.U Soera Highschool famous of it dorm-like lifestyle. The St.Louise Highschool that had ‘high standard’ way of spending it’s educational fee’s. To E.T.O Highschool that more look like abandoned school at day, and crowded at dusk as majority of this school is an Odd Jobs Employes that work at morning. And the last is the Famous Brutal Jungle law-ed school, The Silvestre Highschool.
And as much as I drooling at the sight of The Silvestre’s freedomness and found some nostalgia feeling to me, I still COULDN’T found where is that 45th Highschool one! No, wait, maybe it’s best that I didn’t got in to the Silvestre, that will only drawing a large hit target behind my back. If the one who supposedly entering such kickass school will be my brother, I wonder how long it takes him to utterly owned the school, thinking that I also fell giddy but….

“Oh!..”
{FOUND IT!}

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
Its already half day when a packet come to Grandma’s Post box. I who couldn’t manage to sleep peacefully last night, somehow managed to walk outside and taking the packet. The parcels wrapped in neatly brown paper, with the 45th Highschool name above it. Not to mention, there also written my name and grandma’s address.
When I passed Grandma, she also didn’t show any reaction.
Right, she doesn’t know I got out of my way, and searching about the mystery Highschool myself.
Remembering the result last night, I’m back to sighing in exasperation again….
Going back to my room, I’m starting unwrapped the parcel.
There’s three suit of uniform and one school track suit.
In this Nation of NEA. The uniforms from elementary, middle high, and Highschool, subjected to its ‘original’ color. The main uniform ‘origin’ is RED, for elementary. Dark Blue, for Middle High. And Gray, for Highschool. Beside of that its also a must for each grade to use the same Brown Scout uniform.
Except that there’s also given one suit for characteristic school uniform traits, and modified jersey that different from one to another school. As the uniform style is two days change, with the jersey just for special occasion.
And from this shady school of mine, the character suit is like a long sleeved green dress shirt, white skirt, and white vest, with white knee length skirt. And for the Jersey, is coloured in Dominant black and blue, with stripped in white, and The Name of 45th Highschool in the back.
Not bad, per se. But not that AWESOME! Either…
And for M-sized me is still looking not too bad..
The one that need to be anticipated actually is my future neighbourhood school and classes.
Also the fact that the 45th Highschool doesn’t have it building yet. And will occupying an Elementary school unused class as it class until the building finished. Even if the building that project already started since the last December, but it estimate finished time is three years.
{ISN’T THAT MEAN WHEN THE SCHOOL BUILDING FINISHED, I’M ALREADY GRADUATED??!!!}

After checking out the uniforms, I’m started to read, a piece of paper that also packed in to the parcel. It stated the requirements that need to be brought for the Orientation days, and my Orientation Group.
It’s also NEA custom to hold orientation days before holding Initiation Ceremony. Not just the three first primary education school, even college and university also have their own orientation days. These ritual lasted varied between two weeks until one semester, affected to its who holding the event. As per say, The Student Representative Council. I’ve already joined from middle school, straight from year one.
The rule of the orientation is a ‘trial’, ‘Reward’, and ‘punishment’ game set up by the Council as to making the ‘senior’ and ‘junior’ have understanding and truce faction between the old generation to new generation. Also in my chase, corrupting and converse more new people as my loyal minions.
The first step usually, learn more about the Highschool, rules and the consequent if you break it, then testing like making the students in to several group to compete with each grup to determine value of ‘talented’ students, the group that win will get pin of ‘students of the year’ also increased in popularity and the loser will either get humiliating ‘punishment’ and being laughing stock for several days.
The second step is to acknowledge the surrounding place near the school. This usually in form of ‘treasure hunts’ making the student buy or search some thing with a ‘clue’ left by the councils. Before gathering it and share it to local people near the school as ‘the school social services’.
The last step is to ‘signature hunt’. You need to take at least 100 people from upper echelon. Like from the senior years students, or from teachers. By doing so, you sometimes also have to ‘bribe’ them so they want to sign on your paper assignment. The one that have signatures less than 100 usually get another ‘punishment’.
But sometimes, theres also existed several students that trying to evade this custom. As they’re then referred as ‘trouble child’ that even the councils and teacher’s couldn’t handle.
Thanks to my persuasive persona that leave me to snatched and deal with ‘trouble childs’ of school without a hitch from either teacher’s or another council members that entrusted them to my delicate care, and a bit of persistent persuasion for those stubborn child to open their eyes so I could mold them to be more than just your average thugs with more profesionalism, loyality, and morality.…
With lot of chocolates, candy, cakes, and all of forced bribery that I got from those cute little troublemakers for all of my generous guidance’s fee…
But, for The 45th Highschool that just newly opened and doesn’t have it’s own council yet, leaving the teachers in charge of to set up the ‘rules’.
And because THIS is another city, I don’t have enough influence and many trust in my name yet.
It was like starting over from zero again.
Well, it couldn’t be helped, right?
Looking over the requirements, and looking list at student list that also stated their score at national exam, and what class, also what group they’re part is. Total student accepted is 40 student. As they’ve 2 class, class a and b, part again as two group per class. Its mean each group will have 10 people. And by the red ribbon, it’s mean I’m belonged to this group red.
Also, even if I’m screwed up at my Math score, but I still ended in the top five scorest. Well, the newborn highscool standar, huh? Looks like not have a godly standard as famous school have yet…
but my eyes started widening at the sight of the first scorest at the list.. i'm back and fort double checked the students list, its not a hoax that all of he / her score exam above 9,5, and even have 3 perfect Highest score 10. The score that could entering that famous and prestigious school at the silver ring area with ease…
{WHY THIS KIND OF PERSON EVEN ENTERING THIS KIND OF SCHOOL?!}
