Camella Markenzie
A story that tells of a new student who changes everything
My name is Camella Markenzie, I live in a Cinaya
village. Today I went abroad to continue my high school education. At a famous
school, called Garuda High School, I was accepted there through a scholarship
from school because of my intelligence, also my economy could be said to be
less fortunate than others. I started to pack up the things that I would take
with me later, after finishing and making sure that nothing was left behind. I
immediately said goodbye to my family and the residents in Cinaya.
"Be careful, my child! If it arrives, don't
forget to tell us and learn well!" said Camella's mother, hugging her
child tightly. Maybe this is a hug, a hug that I will miss so much. After I
finished hugging my mother, I left with mixed feelings.
After traveling from Cinaya village, I arrived at
the destination city, namely South Jakarta. I immediately notified my family in
the village. Arriving in Jakarta, I immediately ordered a taxi online to go to
my school now. In Jakarta, I live in a school dormitory, because my parents
will feel safe if I live in a school dormitory. So I did what my parents said.
In the school dormitory, I live with 3 girls.
They welcomed me in a friendly and welcoming manner.
"Hey, you're the new student, right? Nice to
meet you, I'm Naura"
"I'm Kyle"
"I'm Alana"
Said those who introduced themselves in a
friendly manner, I am very grateful to have a good roommate. I gladly replied
to their words by introducing myself.
"Yes, I'm the new student. My name is Camella
Markenzie, nice to meet you all," I replied, with a friendly smile.
The self-introduction session between my dorm
mates was over, I immediately put down my things and others. After that, I
immediately rested myself on a very comfortable dorm bed, because tomorrow
morning I will be starting a new life at school.
The next day, morning had come and the sun began
to shine on the world. I woke up excited, and then I saw my roommate was
already up and getting ready.
"Morning everyone." I greeted and was immediately
replied to by my dorm mates in a friendly manner. I got ready to take a shower,
put on clothes, and so on. After looking presentable and ready to go to class,
my roommate and I went straight to our respective classes. But I don't know
where my class is, because I just entered this school yesterday afternoon. So I
immediately rushed to the principal's office to ask for my classroom.

I knocked on the door first before entering the
principal's office.
"Excuse me, ma'am."
The principal of the school, immediately smiled
friendly when she saw me.
"You're Camella, the new student
right?" asked the principal of the school.
"Yes ma'am, I came here to ask where my
class is," I replied, politely and kindly to the principal.
"Oh, yes, please follow me." Friendly
replied to the principal and immediately rushed out of the room as well as I
followed the principal.
The principal escorted me to the front of the
class, it turned out that my class was on the 3rd floor, majoring in Language
and Culture. When I looked around the class, it seemed that Alana was my
roommate and my senior.
"Before we start the lesson, we have a new
student. Please introduce yourself first."
"Good morning everyone, my name is Camella
Markenzie, usually called Ella. I'm the same age as everyone here."
"Okay, thanks, Ella. Also introduce your
homeroom mother, Mrs. Melinda's name, nice to meet you," replied Mrs.
Melinda in a friendly manner.
"Well, please sit next to Ian, okay?"
said Mrs. Melinda, pointing to where he was sitting. I immediately rushed to
the seat that Mrs. Melinda pointed out earlier.
It's been more than a week since I enroll at this school here, and I started to know about Garuda High school. It's very comfortable here because all the students are very friendly, I like it. Today there is an announcement from the school that on Sunday there is a Collecting Garbage Together event, all students are required to attend the event. I am very happy to hear that this event will be held. But for some reason, everyone complained and asked for the event to be removed. Because I was very confused about what happened, when I got back to the dormitory from school, I asked my dorm mates about the announcement of the Collecting Garbage Event.
"Why don't many people like Collecting Garbage Together?" I asked, with my curiosity. Seeing me asking a question like that, my roommate looked at me in shock.
"Seriously you're still asking? Because it's
a boring event, Ella. Picking up trash on Sundays, who wants to do that?"
Reply Kylie
"Do you want to do that, El?" continued
Kylie.
"Yeah, I want to do that. Because I think
it's fun and useful in my opinion." Kylie heard my answer, and could only
nod in understanding. Because according to Kylie, everyone's preferences are
different, it's just that Kylie was surprised to hear about my statement.
Sunday arrived, and at 8 am the Collecting
Garbage Together event began. The students were busy gathering in the Garuda
high school hall, they all just sat relaxed and did not pick up trash. There
are only a few students who pick up trash, myself included.
Seeing that, I tried to get up the courage to
invite them to pick up the trash and not be lazy.
"Come on everyone, let's pick up the trash
so that our environment becomes healthy and clean!!" I shouted, and
instantly I became the center of attention of the students there. It turned out
that my actions also did not make them move. I can only take a deep breath and
continue picking up trashes in the school area.
Because I'm already very annoyed with students
who didn't do any work, but just sit back and relax. I began to take action to
awaken the students.
"Come on, do you want our school environment
to be dirty? Because of your laziness to not want to take out the trash? If you
are like this, when are you going to change? Aren't you tired of seeing an
environment full of garbage and dirt? When will Indonesia go forward if you are
just lazy like this!!!" I said loudly, seeing some students were still
lazy. And some of the students started picking up trash.
Suddenly, there was a male voice who loudly
shouted following my behavior earlier to awaken the students.
"Wow, the one who doesn't pick up the trash
and still chills out! Even though I said it, I still didn't realize it. Do you
have hands and feet? Even if you throw it away and pick up trash, you are
lazy." the man said loudly, hearing the man's statement. Seeing this,
several students also shouted to wake up all the students.
"Let's pick up trash, everyone! Two people
have tried to make us aware of picking up trash. Aren't you ashamed? You guys
are already grown up and have been commemorated a few times, but still not
realizing it?"
"If you are lazy to pick up the trash, at
least don't litter. Dare to do, dare to be responsible!"
Because of those words, more students started
picking up trash. I, who saw this, was very happy because some of the students
here came to realize them all. I continued to pick up the trash and clean up
the school environment happily.
When I was busy picking up trash, suddenly someone
hit me lightly on the shoulder. Of course, I was quite surprised by the touch,
I immediately faced back and found a tall man, I knew the man. He is the one
who helped me to awaken the students here, the man named Ian Xavier.
"Hey, you're the new student right?"
Ian asked.
"Yeah, I'm the new student," I replied.
"What's your name, if I may know?" Ian
asked, in a curious tone.
"Camella Markenzie, how about you?"
"Nice name, I'm Ian Xavier. By the way, you
were cool out there, you're a new student but you can change everything."
Ian praised, laughing and showing his teeth. I admit that Ian is pretty cute to
look at.
"Hahaha thanks, you were cool too
hahaha"
Time is running fast, and students at this school
start throwing garbage in its place and picking up trash if there is garbage in
front of it. It seems the students here are starting to realize, this since the
Collecting Garbage Together event. Since then Ian and I have met and interacted
with each other more often, you could say that Ian and I have become close
friends.
To be honest, I started to have feelings for Ian, because of his behavior toward me, he made me feel butterflies in my stomach. However, I don't know how Ian feels about me. Besides, I also didn't intend to find out, only God and Ian would know how Ian felt about me.
