The story begins with a girl named Aurora Graciela. She is a 2nd-grade high school student who has just moved to Hillary International School. Aurora is a beautiful and cheerful girl. Her dream is to be a designer and produce so many beautiful clothes. 

On the first day of school, the student-council president, Ardhan Wijaya, was asked to tour her around the school. He was a cool and quiet person and a high-achieving student in the school. Unknowing this new student’s talent, he underestimated her. 

"Hi, I'm Aurora."

"Yeah, I'm Ardhan. So are you a new student? Follow me!"

After going around the school, finally the two of them stopped in the upper corridor and Aurora asked Ardhan about this school.

"Ardhan, do you think the school environment suit me? I am actually a bit difficult to get along with new things. But I will try my best.”

"I don't think you will be comfortable here for long and you will definitely leave soon."

"I've already shown you around and I don't have any more time. I'm going to leave you now. We are going to have a meeting to prepare a drama show for the school anniversary and I think you have wasted my time." 

"Wait, school anniversary? Can I come along to prepare it? What do you think?"

"I think it's unnecessary! Because I think you  can't design an interesting event."

"No, please! I can do something! Do you need any proof?"

"So, when can we start?"

After Aurora convinced Ardhan that she could design something interesting for the students to watch, Ardhan finally allowed Aurora to participate. She was asked to join the meeting and work with the other members. 

"At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, on the basketball court we have a meeting with the other members. Give me the proof of something you said interesting for us to watch.”

"OK! Just wait for my idea!" 

"OMG, why do I have to challenge Ardhan and also pretend to know about the event? I haven't been to anything and I can only design clothes. What should I do?"

After Aurora came home and immediately changed her clothes. She was thinking of the best idea that she would present in the meeting, so everyone not make fun of her. 

After thinking about many things, Aurora finally decided to go to school to attend the student council meeting. When she got to school, she went straight to the basketball court. She met 3 other members. 

"Hi everyone, I'm Aurora. By the way, I'm a new student here and will be participating in planning for the school anniversary event. Nice to meet you."

"Oh HI. My name is Sara. And these two are Reza and Dharma. Good to see you!"

"So how do you feel about this school?"

"I feel comfortable with this school environment, Reza. I hope we can be good friends."

They were chatting together until Ardhan came at exactly 4 o'clock.

"Hi everyone. Sorry I just came. But I'm not late right? Can we just start? What do you think?"

"In my opinion this school anniversary party should be organized as interesting as possible, because you guys are planning a drama show, to highlight the character, I am going to make a wonderful dress for the main character. What do you think?"

"Yeah, we can start!"

"Okay let's start, Aurora what's your opinion about school anniversary? We at the student council are planning to do a drama show, what can you do for us?"

"I think we can make a drama show about "Sleeping Beauty" and the dress for Princess can be designed by Aurora. Do you agree?"

“I think I agree with you, Sara. But, in my opinion, the dress that the princess will wear must be designed to be suitable for princess and elegant. What do you think if this dress uses a pink cloth?”

"In my opinion, the color pink is perfect for this princess dress. Do you have any ideas, Ardhan?"

"oh God! I am sure I can show you my best. Don't look down on me because you haven't seen what I am capable of. Seeing as you can't listen to others' opinions, you really aren't fit to be a student-council president.”

“No, I don't agree. I think Aurora's clothing design will be boring and unattractive, we'd better rent it!”

"Ok! I will give the chance. Make us a dress made of pink cloth with no-heel casual brown shoes. It should be ready in two weeks.”

"I think I can! I'll wait for your opinion later when the dress I designed is finished!"

"what about the others? What do you think guys?”

“ I do agree with it. Let's take her effort."

“ I think Aurora will succeed with the design.”

Okay, see you!

"okay! Thank you guys. I'll do my best. See you!"

"Okay, the meeting is over. Remember, Aurora, you have 2 weeks."

Aurora started to design a dress for Princess who was the main character in the drama that would be performed in the school anniversary event. Two weeks later, she succeeded in designing according to the agreement and opinion of her friends. And Ardhan also admitted that Aurora's dress design was very charming and elegant.
