256 Tribute

Eastern Dream Academy.

6:16 p.m.

The sky had already gone dark but the campus was lively. The Branch Director's speech ended an hour ago but the students had no intentions of going home. In the large open field, some were busy preparing large banners. Some others were arranging the lights. 

A woman who lived close to the academy. She along with the other neighbors was startled. The academy closes around this time and it's seldom filled with a commotion like tonight. She had to come and see what was going on. She quickly appeared on the campus and asked a student who was carrying a bucket of paints.

"Excuse me. What's going on? Will any official arrive?"

The boy shook his head. "That's not it, Aunty. We're giving a proper farewell or more accurately, something of a tribute..."

The woman was again taken aback. "Farewell? Wasn't that already concluded in January?"
