This is the day. The day they reveal to us our fate. They told us our fate is in our hands, but is it? If our fate is in our hands, why can't we control how things end up?
Today's the day the school reveals to us if we are retained, or retest, or promoted or something else. At 2pm, the students reported to the auditorium with their parents. They are in the Advanced group which means that they get to promote even though they did not meet the criteria. I was in the 3.15pm slot whereby we students will have to undergo a re-test in december and ensure that we pass all H2s in order to promote.
The worst had yet to come. Half-way through the talk in the auditorium, avan turned and told us that zhenguang might be expelled. I was shocked. I was stunned. I can't believe that would happen. I might have cried though I didn't let the tears flow down. Being in the audi and with so many parents around, I'm not going to let myself crumble, not in front of anyone in class. To be a pillar for everyone, swallow the pain, the hurt and be strong. That's all I can do.
After the talk, I ran to look for yann and thuhang. I found thuhang crying and yann with red-rimmed eyes which means that they found out already. Zhen Guang is NOT going to be expelled. We'll not allow that to happen. Our class is united as one, bonded as one. WE ARE ONE. We can't afford to lose anyone, not like that. I'm not going to give up without a battle. 03/10 is not going to give up without a battle. Everyone deserves a 2nd chance. Depriving him of his 2nd chance is cruel, merciless and realistic of our school.
I'm not going to criticise the school nor ms leong. This decision may be made by them but through it all, we'll emerge stronger and fight for our rights. I'm not going to lose a dear friend because of someone else. If he leaves this school, it must be his decision, not anyone else's.
AJ is realistic.
To brave through it all, one needs courage and support. I'll be there, always.
