The flag ceremony bell rang, and all the students began to leave their classrooms, including Julian and Anindya’s.
"Come on, let’s go to the field!" Kaza said to his friends enthusiastically.
"Hold on, I’ll put on my tie first," Wiro said, getting ready to tie his.
"Gosh, why didn’t you just use it from the start?" said Kaza.
"What can I do? I’m too lazy to put it on at home," Wiro said, putting on his tie.
While Wiro was busy putting on his tie, Julian, Alvin, and Anto reached for their hats in their bags. Wiro quickly tied his tie. After finishing, he said,
"Alright, let’s go!" Wiro said enthusiastically.
After that, the five of them began walking out of the classroom. Coincidentally, Julian and Anindya’s Circle left the classroom together. As they headed towards the stairs, their Circles met, stopped in their tracks, and looked at each other.
Julian, still feeling awkward from the incident that morning, immediately looked away when he saw Anindya. Seeing this, Anindya smiled slightly and waved at Julian.
"Julian~" Anindya greeted as she walked closer to Julian.
Anindya started to put her arm around Julian again, which surprised him and made his face turn red.
"A-Anindya... W-What are you doing?" Julian said in a stuttered voice.
Anindya only smiled slightly as she stared at Julian’s reddened face. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝕟𝕖𝕥
"I just want to walk with my boyfriend to the flag ceremony place, is that wrong?" she replied teasingly, causing Julian’s entire circle to immediately respond and widen their eyes.
"I-Idiot, th-then we’ll both be called the guidance and counseling teacher!" Julian replied in a slightly high-pitched voice.
Anindya chuckled, unperturbed by Julian’s reaction. She hugged Julian’s arm even tighter and whispered softly in his ear.
"Well, even if the guidance and counseling teacher calls me, I won’t regret it... as long as I can be with you," Anindya whispered softly.
A moment of silence fell, Julian and Anindya’s circle shocked by this, and then...
"Wow!!" Julian’s friends shouted in unison, making the stairwell even more lively.
"Julian the lovestruck!" Wiro exclaimed, patting Julian on the back.
Anindya’s circle was equally excited.
"Wow... Anindya’s all grown up, aren’t you?" Delima said with a mischievous smile.
"I didn’t expect you to be this aggressive, Ninin!" Wulan said with a surprised expression.
"Our Anindya’s all grown up!" Desy said, moved.
Soon the sound of rattan ... It turned out to be the guidance and counseling teacher.
"You guys..." Lia said softly, but soon he was shouting.
"WHAT TIME IS IT!? QUICKLY GET DOWN!!!" Lia shouted with an angry expression and a sharp glare.
"Okay, Ms. Lia!" Julian and Anindya’s circle replied in unison, shocked.
Julian and Anindya’s friends quickly went downstairs, leaving Julian and Anindya alone.
"L-Let’s stop playing, let’s go downstairs. I don’t want you to get in trouble with Ms.Lia" Julian said, letting go of Anindya’s arm.
Anindya looked a little disappointed that Julian had let go of her arm. Julian, without looking back, hurried down the stairs, leaving Anindya alone.
Anindya, watching Julian leave, pouted and muttered,
"Moo... Julian Idiot!" Anindya muttered in an annoyed tone and with a sullen expression.
Anindya descended the stairs. As she was descending, she bumped into the guidance and counseling teacher and said,
"You’re so annoying, Lia!" Anindya said, glaring at the guidance and counseling teacher
"I’m sorry, Lady Anindya. If I don’t do it, you’ll get a warning letter" Lia said with explained politely.
"Who dares to give me a warning letter?" Anindya said with an arrogant expression and tone.
"Your father, Lady. Besides, if you get a warning letter for being lovey dovey with a boy, he’ll be furious and expel him from school," Lia said with explained politely.
Anindya was shocked to hear this and tried to control her anger. She said
"Khh! That’s right... I don’t want Julian to get expelled," Anindya said with an annoyed expression and tone.
"But we were having so much fun... T-T," Anindya continued, disappointed.
"Ohh Come on, Lady Anindya, you can be lovey dovey again during recess or after school," Lia said politely.
Hearing this, Anindya, who was sad and weak, suddenly stood up and regained her energy.
"You’re right, Lia!" Anindya said with a cheerful expression and tone, looking at Lia.
With a happy feeling, Anindya went downstairs and headed to the flag ceremony field. Lia couldn’t help but sigh and say
"Haa... I never thought that love could make Crimson Rose happy" said Lia while smiling kindly at Anindya who had walked towards the flag ceremony field.
After that, Lia went downstairs and headed to the flag ceremony field. On the field, the lines had already begun to form. The morning was quite bright, with a gentle breeze caressing the uniforms of the students standing upright in the sunlight.
There were five lines, each line consisting of students from a different department. Their different colored alma mater jackets adorned the field like a rainbow in the sky.
At Mataram Vocational High School, there are five majors: Sports, Theater, Computer Science, and Arts.
The alma mater jacket colors for each major are:
3. Computer Science = Black.
4. Fine Arts = Purple.
All majors are divided into several classes:
1. Sports Major: Basketball/B, Marathon/M, Swimming/SM, and Soccer/S.
2. Theater Major: Action/A, Comedy/C, Drama/D, and Horror/H.
3. Computer Science Major: Networking/NT, Hardware/HW, and Software/SW.
4. Arts Major: Fine Arts/FA, Dance Arts/DA, and Music Arts/MA/
For example, Julian’s class is in Grade 11-M, which means Julian’s class is in the Sports Major. Even though they’re in different classes, their alma mater jackets remain the same color, as the alma mater color reflects their major.
The courses in each class are specific to the major. For example, even though the class is Software, the Software class still has Networking, but it doesn’t have any courses from other major’s like Theater or Art. However, each major has two common subjects: Microsoft Office and Sports, which are held only once a day.
