Summary of book entitled "High School Paradise"

I have enjoyed reading a book entitled High School Paradise. The author is orizuka. Let me tell you a bit about Orizuka before I explain more about the book. Orizuka was born in Palembang, She is a Muslim. She is the one who wrote a famous novel which is “Summer Breeze”. Now, she has written many impressive novels, especially for teenagers.
So, here is the story. There are 4 boys; Sid, Lando, Rama, and Cokie. They were the naughtiest students in their school, Athens Senior High School. Although they were naughty, they were the 4 biggest ranks in their school. The smartest is Lando. Everyday they came late to the school because they want to play football before enter to the school. In their school there’s no extracurricular for football. Since grade 10 they struggle to have an extracurricular for football. In the end of eleven grade they join a competition and they make their teacher realize that the extracurricular for football is very important. But, they can not join to football extracurricular because they already twelve grade. Nonetheless, they are proud enough to themselves because their struggle is not useless.
The thing that unforgettable for me is when they gather the student to join with them for the competition. They make a promotion. They really put their attention to it. So, when I almost give up I’ll remember their sacrifation. Then I’ll get my spirit back to me.
