Highschool Novels & Stories

Six Months Prior: Winter Break 2022 I just got home from college this afternoon after my most stressful semester of school yet and with a hellish week of finals behind me, I came straight to the bar to meet my friends. Our high school senior class was super close. There weren’t any cliques; every friend group just intermixed making us one of the closest graduating classes our school had ever seen. Even four years later, we all go to the same bars when we’re home. The same parties. The same restaurants. The running joke is you couldn’t see a Riverside High School alumni without seeing at least three more in tow.

And now, as we watched our little girl head off to high school, I felt a sense of peace wash over me. Because we had made it. We had built a life together, a family. And no matter what the future held, we would face it together. --- The years passed by in a whirlwind. Emma’s high school years were a mix of excitement, challenges, and laughter. She thrived academically, her intelligence and quick wit taking her far. She joined the debate team and the drama club, finding her voice and her place in the world. But she also faced heartbreak and struggles—like every teenager.

“Your human terms are cute. But I like the title. For now. Someday soon, I hope you can introduce me to your family as your husband.” I nearly choke on my own saliva. “Slow down, Casanova. I’m still a teenager. My parents will freak out if I introduce anybody as my husband before I graduate college.” “College?” He tilts his head to the side, studying me. “That’s human education, right?” I nod. “After high school, a lot of kids go to college to further their education so they can get a better job. Not everybody, but in my family it’s a given.”

said Clement, Havi's friend, whose laughter sounded so annoying. Right. They are still 18 years old teenagers. So please understand that their decision-making method still uses the up-and-down game. Havie and his friends are 3rd-year students of a bonafide private vocational high school throughout the country. They are completing a one-semester internship program for graduation requirements at an advertising company.

What kind of school was this. I began making my way towards the front when another rough voice stopped me in my trucks. "She can cross the boundary. Choose a seat that you deem fit," a command tore across the class, making me turn around. At this point, it was clear I was trash, and there was a point that trash couldn't cross that I attempted to. "or what?" the boy who had tripped me down at first asked as he stood up. "There is only one king in Maslow High school, and everyone knows it's Charles the great," a proud voice made its stand as everyone turned around to look at me.

The answer echoed within Lily’s thoughts: The first day of senior year. ֍ ֍ ֍ Internal curses swirled in Lily's mind as her gaze fixated on the massive sign atop the school building, boldly proclaiming, "Willow Brook High School." She questioned the world's cruel design, forcing every teenager to endure this hell. Nevertheless, she felt relieved to have reached her final year, graduating smoothly with no issues as her sole remaining task. Not knowing that this was merely the beginning of a life-altering series of unforeseen events.

Joyful cheers echoed in one of the school buildings. Today is the most awaited day by all Senior High School students, namely Graduation, after studying for three years they can finally complete their studies and get a diploma. Not only that, they will also immediately release their 'student' status and will change it to 'student'. Yeps, is that for those who will continue their education to a higher level, for those who will not? Maybe they have other plans to achieve their goals.

An Sms come on my phone from my old friend Maria Gracia. Gisella, Tomorrow is our secondary school reunion for Scuola secondaria di secondo grado (Upper secondary school). also broadly known as Scuola Superiore, which corresponds to the high school level. I sighed. How time runs fast, I have not seen anyone since graduation. I was naive and still naive and innocent then! I need to go to sleep, I still have to work tomorrow. -

High school. Homework. Job interview. No more fake plants. No more stadium boys. Just my life. Which, if I was lucky, would stay exactly that way.

“I’m not rich. Have you seen my car?” “That doesn't mean anything, homie.” I was clearly annoyed, so he switched topics. “What class did you get?” “College Algebra Prep.” “Crazy. I took the most chill classes possible. Senior year survival.” “I just want to get out of here.” He frowned. “Why are you excited to graduate? That’s when life gets hard.” I laughed. “We only have a few months left. That’s funny to me.” He shook his head. “You're weird, man. I got Theology.”
