(Sasuke X Reader) The Eyes That Capture

Chapter 65

It's finally the graduation day.

Ever since you told sasuke to leave you alone, he did so excellently.

He didn't talk to you, not even a glance. Even when he's in the room, he'd ignore you perfectly.

Well, maybe because he was busy studying for college entrance examination, but still, how cold is he to be able to ignore you like that?

He's amazingly feelingless, or so you think.

A lot of people are here today, on the 3rd march, the graduation day of the final year students.

You are already seated in the hall, with your other friends beside you. The second year students are required to attend the graduation ceremony, but not for first year student.

So here you are, with the parents inside the hall.

The ceremony starts, and the third year students enter, two by two, accompanied by their homeroom teacher. Then, all of you are ordered to stand to sing the national anthem and school song.

After you're done singing, you take your seat again and just watch the whole ceremony.

One by one student is called by their homeroom teacher, and each of them answers passionately. Except for some lazy bums like shikamaru and some cold lonewolf like sasuke.

After all the names are called, one representative from the graduating students needs to go to the podium and take the diploma formally on behalf of everyone.

Of course, as the council president, sasuke is the one that is appointed to do the job.

When the uchiha's name is mentioned by the emcee as the representative, your heart twitch in pain.

He stands, coolly, and is accompanied by some 'woo'ing by the female students in the hall. But it's rather slow if compared to the one during the last basketball match.

Sasuke takes a few steps towards minato-san, the principal of Konoha High and formally receives a scroll on behalf of all students. He raises it above his head, bows, and retreats backward off the stage. Of course, there's a lot of formal footwork to do since he has to pay respect to the flag on the stage, the teachers to the left of the stage, and also the officials at the right of the stage.

But being the excellent guy he is, he does everything perfectly.

After that, it's time for the speech. The principal and the mayor give their speeches first, followed by a representative from second year students.

Then, it's time for the third year student himself, again, represented by sasuke.

The young uchiha makes his way to the podium, and after he's ready enough, he starts his speech.

"Good morning, to all the officials that are kind enough to attend our simple ceremony for today, to the principal, that are always dedicated towards his job, to the responsible and loving teachers, never feeling tired to teach their students, to my beloved juniors, second years students of Konoha High, and last but not least, my dearest friends that are going to graduate for today."

You are shocked when you listen to the way he speaks. It is extremely professional and clear, different to the annoying, uninterested intonation he always use in his daily conversation.

Now that you think about it, this is the first time you see sasuke uchiha as the council president, not the one that annoys you all the time.

He looks so... Different.

"Again, i would like to thank each and every one of you, for giving me the opportunity to be able to stand here, and talk to you for the last time as a president of the student council. My dear fellow friends, being in Konoha for three years, has given me a lot of lessons. I used to be a lonewolf, but now i have a lot of friends. I was very introvert, but now I'm able to speak in front of everyone. I was lazy, but now i want to strive hard and excel in everything i do. There's a lot of ups and downs when i was a student here, and i believe, everything was meant to happen so that i can become a better person."
