My high school suspended our graduation celebration due to renovation of the school's event hall. This made me get admission into a tertiary institution without having done my graduation celebration from high school.
Time ran like a stream as it was just two days to the graduation ceremony. I had an assignment to submit on that day so I either let go of the graduation or missed the submission of my assignment which was done individually. But I had to bring up a plan. I called my long time friend who I knew who helped me submit. He agreed to give it a try if he wouldn't be caught as belonging to another department of the school,but in the end he succeeded and I was relieved.
It was already twenty minutes to eight in the morning and I had to rush to meet up with the president for breakfast which was by prompt eight and if the president goes in no one else, even a staff member, enters. I had to pick up public transportation as my parents were not ready yet. When I finally arrived I saw the president's car parked at the car park.I was so afraid but my fear subsided when I found out that he was still in his car and his personal assistant was picking up some of his files. I walked in stealthily as if he would call me back till I finally went in and saw my mates who were all in Forest green suits,our costumes for the event .
The breakfast started with some words of prayer followed by the president's speech and the breakfast proper. We, the graduating students and staff were all served by the president a delicious boiled yam, plantain and egg sauce and some chilled exotic drinks. We all ate till we couldn't stand up for closing prayers(lol). After the breakfast we all matched down to the event hall as were led by the president followed by other dignitaries.
I was happy because I was the second best overall graduating student and overall best science graduating student but at the end of the awarding of gifts and other propagandas we all left the hall with the president leading. Everyone was taking pictures with their friends and loved ones.
I took a lot of pictures with my friends and loved ones too but the part of the event that made me sad was when my fellow boys were taking pictures with their girlfriends but I had no one to take pictures with. I felt that I was the most ugly boy in the whole school,it was indeed of joy and sadness.
I was all alone snapping lonely pictures
