Day 25 - Orgy (Peter/Avengers)

I’m sorry this is out late, I had a horrific day and it made writing really hard. But I’m doing better now and hope everyone enjoys 💜 I might even add a second part to this one if that’s something people want, this was a lot of fun to write

Warnings: orgy, oral sex, I don’t think there are any other ‘warnings’, it’s just pure filth yall

————

Peter was living the dream.

See, he hadn’t been so sure how to feel when the idea of an orgy was proposed. He was fairly inexperienced, always wanted to to everything right. Being thrown into everyone with way more experience than him definitely made him nervous.

Until he figured out that everyone wanted him.

He knew that Tony wanted him. The tension between them was thick enough to cut with scissors, so he figured he’d at least be with Tony.

But then Bucky had spoke up about how it had been a while since he’d been with anyone. Maybe someone with less experience would be good for him.

Then Steve causally mentioned actually being a virgin, and how he trusted that Peter would be careful even given the circumstance.

That surprised Peter, he wasn’t sure that he believed Captain America hadn’t gotten any action before, but he wouldn’t say anything.

Natasha made a comment about not trusting the others to actually be good and take her orders that she liked to give.

Thor didn’t need to say anything, the way that he instantly gravitated towards Peter when the proposal had been made told him all that he needed to know.

Even Sam, who notoriously liked to act like he hated Peter, said that he could be good for a round.

He had easily a half dozen people that wanted him. He had almost the whole Avengers team (minus Clint, married, and Bruce, couldn’t have sex) plus some that wanted to sleep with him.

He absolutely couldn’t believe it.

So then they got started.

Of course everyone couldn’t start with Peter, so they paired off in various ways.

Steve, Bucky, and Sam were instantly on each other, hands reaching and groping and mouths exploring.

Thor decided to watch them, leaning back on the couch and simply observing.

And Natasha kept a close eye on Peter, determined that she would have him next.

Peter shyly smiled at Tony as the older man pulled him in.

“I know you’ve never done anything like this,” Tony murmured, kissing over his jaw gently.

Peter’s lips curved up in a slight smile as he tilted his head back to give Tony better access to his skin. “You don’t know that for sure. You don’t know what I’ve done.”

“I’m pretty sure you would have told me if you’ve ever had an orgy before.” Tony grinned, one hand dropping to gently cup Peter’s hardening cock through his sweatpants.

The younger man bit his lip, breath hitching in his throat. “I don’t tell you everything, you know.”

“But have you done it?”

“Well, no,” Peter finally admitted, huffing a laugh. “But still. I’ll be fine.”

Tony hummed, finally satisfied by the answer he was given as he buried his face in Peter’s neck and began leaving love bites. “You will be. Because if anyone even looks at you in way you don’t like, I’m getting them thrown out and banned from the tower.”

“Thank you, Mr. Stark,” Peter gasped out, head lolling back as he basked in the feeling of getting the marks.

At the gasp, Thor glanced up and towards them. He slowly stood, making his way towards them.

Tony’s hand slipped into the waistband of the younger man’s sweats when he became aware of the god behind them.

“Mind if I join?” Thor asked, eyes careful and calculating, but definitely with a playful light to them.

“I might mind,” Tony commented, sucking another mark onto Peter’s neck as he slipped his hand into the man’s pants.

“I don’t!” Peter said quickly. “Please. Please join,” he said breathlessly.

Thor grinned when he was given permission, quickly ignoring Tony and leaning in to kiss Peter directly on the mouth. “Thank you, young spider. I’ve been imagining being with you for so long now.”

Peter blushed, surprised from the kiss and the words that followed. There was absolutely no way that Thor had thought about being with him like that. He just couldn’t believe it. “O-oh,” he breathed. He groaned when Tony’s hand wrapped around his cock, like the older man was trying to prove a point.

“So, what do you want with him, pointbreak?” Tony asked suddenly, voice muffled against Peter’s neck.

Thor chuckled, the sound low and booming. “We are here for sexual encounters, yes?”

“Correct, thanks for the observation.”

Peter smacked Tony’s arm gently at the sarcastic comment. “Be nice,” he mumbled.

“I am being nice.” Tony twisted his hand, stroking Peter slowly. “Very nice.”

Peter groaned, biting his lip. “Not what I meant. But yes, now you’re being nice. Please don’t stop.”

The god watched them, humming softly. “Well, you seem to be preoccupied, touching wise. But I would be very happy if you were open to...giving pleasure as well as receiving.”

Peter snorted. “Is the god of thunder asking me to suck his dick?” He joked. “Because, uh, yes.”

“I like your enthusiasm,” Thor said happily. “That is what I was asking. So that’s a yes?” He didn’t even wait for an answer, pushing down the comfortable bottoms that he had been in. Which revealed that he hadn’t been wearing any underwear.

Peter blushed, eyes trailing over the thick cock that was made clear once it was uncovered. He could already tell from the tenting that had been in Thor’s pants that he would be huge, but it was much more intimidating to actually see.

Tony looked between them, still slowly stroking the younger man in his pants. “I guess we’ll need to change position a bit,” he mused. “Peter. Let’s get down, alright? On our knees.”

The young man nodded quickly, slowly sinking down to his knees as Tony did. That way Tony could keep touching him and he could please Thor. His mouth opened and he looked expectant.

Using one hand to guide his cock, Thor gently set the head on Peter’s waiting tongue. “Don’t try to do too much, I don’t want you to be worn out too early,” he warned.

Peter smirked, lips wrapping around the head and suckling gently just to start. He shivered at the moan that he got from the god. That just encouraged him more.

He got to work, able to take down half of the huge cock before it was just too much. He gagged as the tip hit the back of his throat, but he got a control of the reflex and kept going.

Thor was incredibly vocal and laced his large fingers through Peter’s hair as he kept going. Soon his hips began thrusting slightly, testing just how far Peter could take him.

Tony kept a close eye on them, making sure that Peter was feeling good as well as staying happy.

But despite the watery eyes and choked noises that came from him occasionally, Peter seemed absolutely thrilled with what he was doing.

It didnt take long with Peter’s skilled mouth for Thor to be getting close, hand tightening further in the young man’s hair. “Are you alright to swallow?” He asked, eyes close on him to catch a reaction.

Peter moaned and nodded, the bobbing motion of his head only helping the god get there closer. It took less than a minute more of his actions before he felt the first spurt of liquid shoot down his throat. He swallowed, pulling off just enough so that he would get a mouthful instead of it all just going down his throat.

Thor enjoyed that, head dropped back and breathing heavy as he rode out his orgasm. Then once he was done, he finally pulled out of Peter’s mouth.

The young man had a full mouth and seemed to be struggling to catch it all. Some had already dribbled from the corners of his mouth and down his chin as he swallowed it all down. “Woah,” he breathed, licking his lips.

Thor grinned at the reaction, not even bothering to tuck his cock back away. Instead he just kicked his pants off completely. He figured he would get a second round with someone, what was the point of keeping them on?

Tony watched them, chuckling as he watched Peter. “How have you not cum yet?” He teased, still stroking slowly.

Peter blushed at the question, taking his bottom lip between his teeth. “Because...ah, I can’t really cum just from...my dick being touched.”

“Please tell me you’re about to say what I hope you’re about to say,” Tony murmured.

“I gotta be...filled too. In order to finish.”

Tony groaned, kissing the man quickly despite there still being traces of cum on his lips. He didn’t care. “You’re incredible. And I’m definitely going to be the first to get to that ass. Get up and on the couch.”

Nodding, Peter stood up quickly. He blushed for a moment before pushing his pants and boxers off, figuring there wasn’t much point to them any more. Then he bent over the couch, leaning right into Natasha.

“Hi, miss,” he said shyly.

Natasha chuckled, adjusting them so that his arms were braced between her legs. “Hi, Peter. Can I have a turn now? I wanted to be the first you got that mouth on, but I can settle for second. If that’s alright with you.”

Peter nodded quickly, licking his red and swollen lips. “Yeah. Yes. I would love to. Please-“

His words were cut off by a strained moan as he felt lube being poured over his ass. It was really cold and had surprised him.

Tony grinned. “Whoops. Sorry, kid. Just figured we’d need some of this before we got started.”

Peter nodded, blinking to try and reorient himself. “Yeah. Of course. Just- warning please. Next time.”

“Next time,” Sam commented, getting closer after breaking away from Steve and Bucky. “I would love to be that next time. Although im pretty sure you won’t need any more lube, I think he just poured the whole bottle in your-“

“Just trying to be cautious,” Tony defended, sounding offended.

Sam raised his hands in surrender, shrugging. “I know it takes a lot, I’m just saying that was a ton.” He laughed, shaking his head. “But hey, I do want to be second here.” He patted Peter’s ass gently. “Although I’m pretty sure I’m going to ruin you for anyone else here.” He grinned, showing off the little gap between his teeth.

Peter couldn’t see it, but he always loved that gap. It was cute, even if the man who had it hated it. He loved the way it was shown off when Sam smiled. Which was often. “You can be second,” he told him.

“-but you won’t be ruining him for anyone,” Tony added. “Because that’s my job.”

Peter laughed, resting his cheek against Nat’s thigh. He was in for a long, long night.

And he couldn’t wait.

Kisah lalu

Ingatan itu masih bergumam di pikiran, sesekali datang menyapa di kala sepi.

Tentang dua manusia yang sedang bergejolak rasa, menikmati syahdu jalanan malam. Di atas roda dua, memaku, bercengkrama, sampai waktu berlarut-larut.

Hari sabtu, jadi hari didamba dua manusia ini. Tentang menghabiskan sisa malam berdua. Menjelajah setiap sudut kota. Memipir, sekadar membeli bandrek, penghangat tubuh di kala dingin mulai menusuk.

Lantunan suara di lantangkan, melepas semua penat yang di pendam lama. Roda dua itu, serasa panggung konser manusia kasmaran. Lagu tulus menjadi sajian utama, mulai dari teman hidup sampai sewindu. Sampai terkadang, suara itu lenyap disaat pagi, saking lantangnya kita bersenandung riang.

Jalanan braga, menuju alun-alun, rute yang wajib di lintasi. Entah sudah berapa sering kita melewati, tapi rasa bosan tak pernah mengutukku tuk memilih jalan lain. Di alun-alun, terkadang aku sesekali memotret parasmu, nan indah di pandang mata.

Aku masih tak habis pikir, ada manusia se-sempurnamu. Ternyata benar, tuhan menciptakan manusia dengan se-baik mungkin, layaknya dirimu, hampir tanpa celah ku temu.

Kelakar selalu ku lontarkan, agar senyum manis itu terus berseri di wajah. Agar tak hilang di telan bumi. Rasanya setiap waktu ingin ku membuat mu terus tersenyum, karena itu menjadi hal terindah yang pernah ku jumpa di bumi.

Sial. Aku gagal melupa sekali lagi. Malam-malamku temaram suram. Tak terhitung berapa melimpah kata yang tak sampet ku utarakan. Hanya berbalas kisah sedih di ujung.

Hai.

Sedang apa dirimu? Bahagiakah kamu sekarang? Apakah jalanan itu masih sering kamu lewati? Lagu-lagu itu masih kamu dengar? Apakah kamu se-mengenang itu sepertiku?

Atau kenangan itu sudah kamu kubur ke inti bumi dalam dalam. Terkunci.

Tak apa, aku tak bisa menuntut rasa itu terus sama. Aku tak egois. Tak memaksa terus menetap kekal.

Hidup itu dinamis. Hanya aku saja yang lama melupa. Biarkan aku saja yang merasa. Sekadar menjadi cerita, bukan untuk di ulang. Kamu tak usah lama khawatir. Aku bisa kendalikan. Tenang saja. Aku baik-baik saja.

Selamat berlayar, dengan nahkoda barumu. Mencipta jalan cerita baru. Tak usah mengingatku lagi. Berikan sepenuhnya cinta-mu. Kau miliknya sekarang, abadi bersama dengannya.

Tapi, memang cinta tak bisa di paksa. Seberapa besarpun konsentrat cinta. Tapi jika tak ada alasan tuk menetap, maka semua tak bisa terikat.

Biarkan, kamu menjadi kisahku yang terus aku lanjutkan, walau waktu menghentikan.

Doaku, semoga ciptaan Tuhan seindah-mu selalu terjaga, bahagia selalu, serta mulia.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim…

Temuanku hari ini… sejujurnya melatih kemandiran anak di usai masih dibawah 2 tahun, tepatnya 16 bulan beberapa minggu menurut ibu susah2 gampang. Di masa ini anak masih banyak bermain nya eksplorasi kesana kemari. Temuan hari ini lebih ke memberi Nay kesempatan untuk memilih sesuatu dan menyatakan keinginan nya... Strong Why.. Ingin melatih kemandirian anak dalam bentuk apa pun dan hal apa pun

Strategi untuk melatih kemandirian… Selalu sounding yang baik2 kepada Nay.. Awalnya dari mulai mengajari Nay mengucapkan kata Mau dan memberikan contoh atau maksud dr kata tsb.

Sukses apa aku hari ini… Seperti biasa kalo ibu buka kulkas Nay pasti nimbrung di samping ibu. Ujung2 Nay mengambil yalkut yang ad di kulkas. Nay suka dengan yoghurt dan yalkut.  Akhirnya di tawarkan Nay mau yakult atau yoghurt. Pas ibu memegang yakult dan ditanya Nay mau ini ? anaknya lagsung bilang mau... mau.. sambil senyam senyum. Mhon maaf yoghurt hari ini kamu blm laku dlu. *Fyi, yalkut ad probiotiknya, hasil baca2 ibu anak d bawah 2 tahun gpp minum yalkut asal tdk berlebihan krn bakteri baik jg byk manfaatnya. Dan ini Nay bahkan ga sampet setengah dari seperempat dari isi yalkut, sedikit sekali, karena berbagi dengan Ibu minumnya. Banyakan ibu yg minum. Jdi menurut ibu Nay sdh bs menyatakan apa yang ia mau. Tantanganku hari ini… tidak ada kendala yang berarti.

Ingin sukses apa esok hari.. Masih melanjutkan melatih kemandiriann Nay dalam aktivitas dan hal apa pun.

I recently had the opportunity to video chat with a third grade class from the United States about my time in Botswana and my new home. The students read a book about a little girl in Botswana, and it just made sense that they have the opportunity to chat with someone who really lives there.

Here are the questions they asked me, and the answers to those questions:

Is school free?

Besides a school fee which is reduced for almost all students, 12 years of free education are guaranteed for each and every single student in Botswana. The school fee is supposed to cover things like the school uniform. Lodging for boarding students (most schools in Botswana are boarding schools, as they accommodate students who do not live in the village in which the school is placed) as well as food for both lodging and non-lodging students are both free. They are not an extra cost for families.

What days do you go to school?

Monday-Friday. The same as in the United States! I do spend some days at the clinic or social worker’s office, though. Additionally, the Junior Secondary Schools do not run on a 5 day schedule. The time table at my school is 6 days long. I teach on days 2 and 4, so different days of the week every week.

Classrooms at my Junior Secondary School.

How many hours a day do children go to school? What months of the year do they go to school?

This first question depends on what year of schooling a child is in. Reception, which is the equivalent of preschool and kindergarten, is incredibly short. Standards 1-3, which are the equivalent of Grades 1-3, end around 12:30pm and start at 7:30am. Standards 4 and 5 end around 3pm, and 6 and 7 end sometime around 4 depending on how close in the year we are to exams.

I work at a Junior Secondary School with Form 1-3 students, which are the equivalent of 8th-10th graders. They have class from 7:30am to 4:30pm, with an additional study hour in the morning and in the evening. After school clubs and athletics run from 4:30-5:30pm.

The school year in Botswana is split into three terms which span the entire year. They do not have a two month break during the summer like schools in the United States. First term began on January 9th, and runs until April 13th. Term two starts the first week of May and ends on July 13th. Term three starts on August 6th and ends on November 30th, with a quick break in September.

Are there tvs in Botswana?

Yes! Television is actually a very important tool for socialization in Botswana. When I was in Pre-Service Training, I sat down and watched television—specifically BTV, Botswana’s government television station—every single day during dinner. Families often gather in front of the tv for hours every night to watch soap operas from South Africa and India. You will find people talking about those shows the same way Americans talk about their favorite shows.

Does Botswana have technology, video games, and iphones?

The short answer is yes. These things do definitely exist in Botswana. Whether they are readily available and accessible to the average Motswana is a different story. Everyone I know in Botswana has a phone, but not everyone has a smart phone. Even fewer have iphones, simply because they cost exorbitant amounts and are easy to break. They cannot withstand some of the harsher climates in Botswana. Android accessories like chargers and phone cases are super easy to find anywhere, as they use the same chargers as brick phones (which are used very similarly to Trac Phones, if anyone remembers those).

Most families do not own their own computer. In fact, I have yet to meet someone who owns their own computer. But every institution—school, clinic, NGO, social worker’s office, police office, tribal office—has computers. Tools like emails are not used particularly frequently, and wifi is not widely available in smaller villages. Batswana are not totally disconnected, though. People can buy monthly plans for their phones which include social media sites and apps like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Whatsapp. The connection in my village is pretty poor, so usually I am only truly able to use Whatsapp, but it fits all of my needs.

Do you have video games in Botswana?

I have not seen anyone play video games, and I have not seen any video game consoles. I would assume that they exist, though, as I have seen almost every form of technology available in the U.S. here, but I would also assume that they are not purchased or used frequently.

What type of food do you eat?

I did not have a fridge for the past four months, so I was eating a lot of rice and canned beans. I also ate canned vegetables which soaked for probably too long in a brine I really did not appreciate. This was incredibly difficult, but I am proud and excited to say that I just recently received a fridge! I am excited to start using it and getting back to a semi-normal diet.

What are the traditional foods of Botswana?

The traditional foods of Botswana are delicious, let me tell you. Much of it consists of meat and a kind of starch with tiny amounts of vegetables tossed in when appropriate. One of my favorites is called paletshe; it is very similar to grits, but the granules are small enough that the texture ends up being somewhat reminiscent of mashed potatoes. There are other types of starches made from maize and sorghum as well, like sampete and bogobe. Two of the vegetable dishes include a mix of beans and spices called dinawa, and cut spinach (or bean leaves, or a vegetable called rape) sautéed with carrots and onion called morogo.

A fancy version of traditional Tswana food. Chakalakah is on the top left, morogo on the top right, paletshe on the middle left, and the rest of the food should be recognizable.

Do you guys have watermelon?

There are, in fact, watermelons in Botswana. Botswana has a large variety of fruit, including several types of melons, papaya, mango, amarula (which is used to make several types of alcohol, and is even a favorite of elephants despite its tendency to ferment in their stomachs and cause them to get drunk), among others. Avacado, pineapple, apples, oranges, lemons, etc, are also all available at stores.

Does Botswana have McDonald’s? Have any of them had cheeseburgers?

Sadly, no. I found this very surprising, as I had assumed that McDonald’s had reached nearly every country in the world. But alas, I was wrong. There is a McDonald’s close to the southern border of Botswana in South Africa, but I live nowhere near the southern border, so it is not accessible for me whatsoever. I do look forward to eating at one again, though; I think this is the longest period of time I have gone in my entire life without doing so.

And yes to the second question. While there is not a single McDonald’s, Botswana is a country which runs heavily on tourism. A lot of tourists are from countries in which citizens eat hamburgers, so a lot of lodges and restaurants have hamburgers. I have yet to eat one that is of the quality I want it to be, but they are certainly not bad.

Another important thing to note is that Botswana does have KFC—Kentucky Friend Chicken. Most chain restaurants here primarily sell fried chicken. We have Chicken Licken, KFC, Hungry Lion, and Nando’s. Peri peri sauce, the popularity of which rose from Nando’s, is everywhere. One of my favorite snacks in Botswana is a chicken peri peri pie that I can get at most grocery stores. It is marvelous.

Do they have snow?

Botswana does not have snow anywhere. None of the altitudes are high enough, and even though the desert gets cold at night and the south can get very cold in the winter, it is never cold enough to snow. The temperatures—both hot and cold—just feel more intense because of the lack of heating and cooling systems within the houses.

What sport do the people of Botswana like the most?

Batswana love to play and watch sports. My perception is that both football (soccer) and netball are incredibly popular. Netball is basketball without the back board—just the net. But volleyball and track and field activities are also very popular. Students love any opportunity to run around and have fun, and adults love the opportunity to network, gossip, and blow off some steam. Sports games are community events, and they really build a sense of comradery.

  A PCV versus locals football (soccer) game during Pre-Service Training.

Do people in Botswana play football?

They do not play the American version of football. They do, however, play soccer, which they call football.

Do the people talk differently?

In terms of speaking another language, yes. In terms of having a different accent and using, technically and linguistically, another version of English, yes. Their accent includes rolled r’s, long a’s, etc. The most widely used language in the country is Setswana, although most schooling is supposed to be instructed in English. First languages can also include Sembukushu, Sekgalagadi, Sekalanga, Seyeyi, Afrikaans, Naro, etc. So many languages are spoken in Botswana that I could not possibly list them all.

What language are your books in?

Most books available in Botswana were written in English. Some are available in Setswana, and in some cases, there are books available in tribe-specific languages. For instance, there is a linguistics group in D’Kar working on translating books both into Naro and into Setswana and English from Naro.

My school and I are working on requesting more books in English to help encourage students to read and work on their English literacy. All standardized testing is done in English, and our students are lagging behind. They speak Sembukushu in their homes and then are forced to learn English and Setswana concurrently. It can be very difficult—especially because most of the teachers do not know Sembukushu. Teachers are government employees, so they are part of something called the transfer system. In order to prevent corruption, all government employees must transfer jobs and villages every 5 years. Teachers often end up in villages all the way across the country from their spouses and loved ones.

What holidays do people celebrate, and when are they?

People in Botswana are, for the most part, Christian. There is a small population of Muslim, Hindu, and Buddhist people, but the vast majority are Chrstians. They thus celebrate the same religious holidays as those Christians do in the United States; they might not celebrate them the exact same way, though. Other holidays exist for pretty much the same reasons as those in the United States. Botswana has an independence day—Boipuso—a day to celebrate the first president, and others.

Do people have parades with animals for holidays?

People do not have parades with animals. The relationship between Batswana and animals is quite complex. Wild animals are protected very effectively through legislation and through intense animal reserve border controls. The country is totally against poaching, and has enacted measures which fine people intensely or even allow military to shoot people on sight if they violate certain rules regarding wild animals. Domestic animals are not treated with the same reverence. They are able to wander around wherever, and you can often find children or adults throwing sticks or rocks at them. They simply do not have the same emotional importance as pets in the United States. They are a nuisance to many people, as they are an extra food and space burden. It is understandable despite how long it has taken me to accept that treatment.

What are some types of animals in Botswana?

Botswana is really cool. It has a super large variety of animals, from squirrels and mongoose to elephants, lions, and leopards. Botswana has the largest wild elephant population in the entire world. I also think Botswana might have one of the highest donkey populations in the world, but I have no tangible proof of that. There are just a lot of donkeys. Wild animals are not restricted to game reserves, though. There are baboons all over the capital city and surrounding villages. A child was recently killed by an elephant in the village next to mine. Another child was killed by a lion just a few hours from my village. Wild animals live everywhere around the delta, and it can be a huge problem for the humans who also live around the delta. They thus have a healthy fear and respect for such animals.

What is the time difference between Botswana and the U.S.?

The time difference currently is 7 hours. In the spring, when the U.S. “springs forward”, the time difference will be 6 hours.

What is the population of Botswana?

The population of Botswana is approximately 2 million. It has one of the lowest populations per square mile on the African continent. While the country itself is around the size of Texas, its population is much smaller. Manpower can be a struggle for community mobilization and other initiatives. Sometimes there just are not enough people. Most of the population is concentrated in the South, South East, and North East regions of the country. Those are where the two cities lie, and where a lot of expatriates live.

What kind of clothes do you wear?

I wear formal business attire to school every single day. The workplace is quite fancy, and women often wear heels several inches tall to work. Your outward appearance is meant to display the respect you have for the people around you; it is not meant as a form of artistic or personal expression. I do own some clothes I had tailored for me in African prints, but I do not wear them super often. In the workplace, people primarily wear Western-style clothing. Non-government workers are more likely to wear clothes we typically think of when we think of the African continent. Botswana is hot, and a Tswana-style dress allows for a lot more air flow than a button down shirt and pencil skirt.

Behind My International Education Week Presentation

Whoop whoop. Finally something related to my exchange program. As an exchange student with scholarship, It’s MANDATORY for me to deliver a presentation about my country. 

First of all, ku ingin berterimakasih kepada teman-temanku yang membantuku menyelesaikan presentasiku. Yang mau direpotin dimintain foto inilah, itulah, sampe diarahin sama gua motoya. Heuheuheu. Sekali-kali lah, kapan lagi disusahin gua. Siapa tau balik-balik gua kasih oleh-oleh. Siapa tau lho ya.

Emang lu bikin apaan sih? Hmm…. Gini. Kalo lu pernah presentasi sama gua atau pernah liat gua presentasi, lu pasti tau kadang gua tuh suka ekstra. Dari konten sampe peletakan gambarnya. Like, seriously, gua literally bisa ngehabisin 10 menit sendiri buat meletakkan foto di PPT gua. Bukan gara-gara gua gaptek, tapi gara-gara gua rempong dipindah-pindah mulu. Nah, seminggu sebelum presentasi, gua dapet hidayah gitu, gimana kalo presentasi gua ini tentang “A Day as an Exchange Student” Jadi seolah-olah gua ini jadi host sister dan temen-temen gua ini exchange student from US yang ditempatkan di sekolah gua. Jadi slide pertama gua isinya how to get to Indonesia terus dilanjutin isinya sehari di smanli. Bahkan ada 1 slide tentang how to get to school with angkot and how to go back home with Gojeg or Uber Motor. Dan FYI temen-temen gua pada shock pas gua kasih tau di Indonesia ada taxi motor gitu. 

Nah, karena gua sangat ekstra, gua gak mau foto-fotonya dari google. Gua maunya foto-foto Smanli yang asli, update dari temen-temen gua di smanli. Jadi, beberapa teman terpilih gua yang sangat gua sayangi, gua minta motoin guru lagi ngajar di kelas lah, lagi makan di kantin lah, tapi paling ngakak mah yang gua minta fotoin anak danus lagi jualan sih. Ku cinta danus. 

Gua nyusun ppt yang ini sebenernya udah mulai dari hari senin. Tapi gua tuh kalo ada ide gitu kayak suka kececer gitu lho di otak gua. Jadi hari seni itu gua baru merapihkan ide gua di otak

H-semalem, ppt gua belum kelar. Sampe diketawain host fam pas ditanyain “Presentasinya kapan?” terus gua bilang “Besok”. Pas kayak udah larut malem, otak gua udah gak ke kanan gak ke kiri. Gua sebel sama hasil kerja gua. Jadi gua mutusin buat stop.

Besoknya, gua bangun kesiangan (lagi) dan gua harus dandan woy! Like, yekali gua pake kebaya cantik-cantik tapi muka kucel gak ke atas gak ke bawah. Jadi gua dengan waktu yang tersisa berusaha dandan. Alhamdulillah kini Amara sudah lebih mulus ketimbang dulu. Bangga banget gua sama diri gua sendiri karena sekarang gua setiap malem ada skincare routine gitu. Sok iye banget gak sih. Etapi sekarang gua OTW flawless y maap-maap aja nih guys. Gak nyambung. Tapi, berkat lebih mulus, durasi dandan gua jadi lebih pendek. Karena make foundation jadi lebih gampang. Abis foundation tinggal mak bronzer, blush sama lipstick. Gak pake mascara karena gua gak betah pake mascara. Dan mascara gua yang bikin bulu mata gua baday gak waterproof. Jadi kalo kena aer, mata gua auto smoky eyes gitu. Etapi gua kan mau presentasi di kelas bukan di tengah Columbia river. Ywdhlhy, yang dandan kan gua. Alhasil, gua gak sampet makan. Rencananya, gua mau makan di first period gua. Tapi, gua baru inget kalo first period gua itu Studio Art 1 dan project gua lagi bikin gelas dari tanah liat. Yekali gua makan sambil bikin tanah liat. Jadi, yasudahlah, gua makan pas MTK aja. Siapa tau makin pinter gua. 

Pas MTK, kerjaan gua cuma makan sama bikin script. Sekali-kali ngerjain soal tapi kayak serius-serius gak gitu. Third period, gua serius. Gak ada celah. Pas lunch, gua memutuskan untuk gak makan dan ke perpus buat nyelesain ppt gua.

Gua bener-bener memaksimalkan jam lunch gua buat ngerjain ppt. Tapi tetep aja, gak kelar. Tapi gua sansun sih. 4th period gua Jewelery jadi kalaupun gua buka laptop sans aja asal jangan buka hp. Biar gua gak dicurigai guru gua, sebelum ngelanjutin ppt, gua minta sheet metal dulu karena emang kita lagi mulai project baru. Terus gua sok-sok gergaji kalo guru gua lewat. Ntar kalo udah gak merhatiin, gua ngerapiin ppt lagi di laptop. Alhamdulillah, cara gua berhasil. Sebelum jam ke-4 beres, ppt gua officially kelar. Gua bisa mengikuti pelajaran dengan tenang di jam ke 5 dan presentasi di jam ke 6.

Jam ke 6 datang tanpa permisi. Njay. Padahalmah bel dulu heuheuheu. Ppt udah siap, script (yang sebenernya gak bakal gua pake juga) udah siap. Awalnya gua agak deg-degan. Tapi pas gua ngeliat classmates gua antusias dan temen se-group gua nyemangatin gua, gua jadi makin semangat. Semua concern gua seketika hilang ketika temen-temen gua bener-bener menikmati presentasi gua. Like, selain merhatiin, mereka juga ketawa. Kurang bahagia apa gua. Dan pas presentasi udah beres, guru gua datengin gua dan bilang kalo presentasi gua amazing and she loves my personality pas gua nyampein presentasi gua. And I can tell that she said the truth. Dan saat itu juga, gua merasa semua tenaga dan pikiran gua buat ppt gua terbayar. Gak percuma gua menghabiskan banyak waktu gua untuk sebuah ppt. Literally, ini ppt terniat gua sepanjang masa. Silahkan kalian ngatain gua riya’. Gua jamin kalian gak bakal bilang gua riya’ kalau kalian ada di posisi gua. Dan ini semua bener-bener made my day. Emang, dari kuantitas, gua cuma presentasi dikit. Tapi gua merasa point dari presentasi gua lebih tersampaikan. Guru gua juga bilang kalau classmates gua terhibur sama presentasi gua. Dan pas sesi tanya jawab pun banyak yang ngasih pertanyaan. Ah, this whole IEW really made my year and I can’t wait to give my other presentation next year because I have 1 more to go next year.

Love, my 6th period class and our lovely rock
