The end of a school year

The end of the school year 2016

"It's summer YES!" Yelling after leaving the classroom. I have finished my last exam, all I want to do now is just relax a bit. As I start it off with going for lunch with some friends, we decided to plan some fun activities for the summer vacation. Maybe lasershooting, camping or I don't know, whatever we can think of, but first we have to get our results if we passed the year or not. Annoyingly we have to wait another week before we get to know it. With that we waited, some with anxiety some having full regret for not studying and others have the confidence of a successful businessman. 

The day has come with that also being the last day of this school year. But I had a surprise for my classmates, I prepared a speech, I have always been seen as the one who isn't shy at all, as long I'm not speaking infront of a lot of people, that has kinda been a problem for my speaking exams, oh well can't doa nything about that. The reason why I'm gonna do it is because it's something I thought of a long time ago but never have the courage to say it. I have been practicing a for some time now so I'm problably fine, I hope...

My plan was to start with it right before we get our results to make it more exciting and a bit to annoy my classmates, something I have been doing this whole year hey what can I say I love doing it. 

I walk forward having some confidence, but suddenly I see the stares of my classmates as my heart starts beating real fast. That was the moment I knew I fucked up. I quickly tried to recover from it. Lets say it kind of worked by remembering the fun times with the other 21 students. 

I quickly decide my first words. I said with loud voice "Ok listen up I got a few words to say." Aaand they don't pay attention, some are even sleeping wow rude. I decided to use my secret weapon. The next second they all they heard were a loud sound. They quickly noticed it was from a whisle. "I got your attention great. So as I wanted to say, it's the end of the school year so I want to say a few words." 

They staring oh god they staring shit shit shit! Ok don't worry it's allright. "Allright so with the last day of school I thought I could give you guys some of my thought which I have wanted to say for a while. First of all, I had a great year with you guys especially our great time in Londen. We got so close after just a few days, kinda surprising. It's so awesome to see how much we all changed compared to a year ago when we were in grade 7. Some have become more open, others have found their talents, there's even a couple between us. I don't know how much you all have changed, I'm only able to see the surface but that just means you all found something worth to change for! That is what  I love the most of you guys." Phew that was a mouth full up to the next thing.

"We have grown as a family togheter, I guess seeing each other for like 7 hours a day for most of the week, I'm more surprised some of us aren't like hating each other or I'm just blind, you tell me." Dammit I really need to stop streching this out. "We will eventually go our own ways that's something we can't change, but we can look diffrently at this in the futur depending on how you remember it. I want the time we have spend toghether to be more then just a vage memory when we're older, I want us to keep being connected like this, as companions, friends, a family. After going our own ways pretty soon may it be next year or the one after that, there is something I want you to rememeber and never forget, look at each of your classmates the ones you  have spend this year with the great times you had togheter." I feel like a teacher hmm maybe just maybe I'll become one hm, nah too much work.

"I'm sure that I can speak for everyone of us that we all wish each other a future to be proud of, a future where eventho we will have moments where we feel depressed or feeling as shit, remember this year that you're still supported by the ones who were with you, the ones who may or may not be your first choice to go to for support. Our views will change for sure we'll have different opinions as the years go on, but even so if you treasure this time we had, I'm sure we'll always have a connection how small it may be." I must say not bad myself not bad at all.

"With that being said I have asked  miss Debondt before we arrived here, we all passed!"

Note: I dedicate this story to my classmates.
