Chapter 94

The graduation ceremony began promptly at 9:30. After the host delivered the opening remarks, the principal took the floor to speak. Dressed in a crisp suit, the principal walked up to the podium with steady strides. He cleared his throat and scanned the sea of young, vibrant faces below. "Students, today you are graduating, marking an important milestone in your lives," the principal's voice echoed through the auditorium via the microphone. "Looking back over the past few years, I have witnessed your growth, your laughter, and your tears. Here, you have gained knowledge, and more importantly, friendship—and perhaps, budding romance as well." At this, quite a few students chuckled softly, exchanging knowing glances.
