After a few days...


The final exam of this school year had finally started. The students from Class A to E have been busy studying in the library, some of them had studied in the halls, on the floor, in the gym... wherever they feel comfortable too. I arrived early, reading my notes, when I need to remember all the formulas on the math and physics test, I look at Mrs. Garber's penmanship on the board, and I remember she likes to waste chalk. She even made her hand a human blackboard eraser, it's been said to be the cause that makes your hands dry.


I read the new note written on the blackboard. She still used different colors.


"Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm." – Winston Churchill.


"Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm." Asphalto recited it hard. He stood behind my back, I looked at him. He probably had three rounds of memorizing the formulas to be used. He was finally wearing the eyeglasses that Crimo gave him secretly by keeping the obnoxious personality. A few days ago, Jake has been telling him to wear it on his own because of his poor eyesight. He smiled at me, giving me thumbs up, "I like it. Mrs. Garber really thinks about us a lot. I hope many of them realize it well. Well, good luck on the exam, Lord Jaxus. When in fact you have nothing to be worried about because you can get good grades while keeping that creepy personality." I nodded at him, telling him to do the same. Jake was not here yet, I hope he studied last night. This is the final exam, his last chance, to be with us in the next school year. We don't want him to be left behind. "Let's sit now, Lord Jaxus." Asphalto grabbed me to our respective seats. I appreciated the colors on the board.


"Good morning everyone!" Jake was kind of a hero when he appeared banging into the door. Full of enthusiasm as he is, most of our classmates just ignored him. "I just had a good night's sleep last night! Well, of course! I studied hard last night. I even made sure that I memorized the formulas that Ms. Samantha had told us. I feel more hope! Today is my last chance, and I must do this right!" he turned towards the board, he read the phrase, "Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm! That is a hundred percent right!" he waved at us and Asphalto ordered him to low down, "You look so stupid, would you sit down?" he came running like a dog. "Welcome, welcome, four eyes being," he said with a smile and he noticed that Crimo hasn't been here yet.


"Where is Crimo? Does he know that today is the final exam? How could he forget that! And how could we forget to tell him that!" he was about to make a fuss when Asphalto pulled him to sit down. "Be careful, I don't want to ruin the hand-outs that Ms. Samantha gave to me, this is my source of inspiration!" he took care of it well, put it back inside his bag after he kissed it. "Gross, Jake Francis! What happened to you?! Anyway, I thought you were going together with Crimo... he said he went to your house... did he fail to do that?"


"He went to my house last night but he wasn't there to study with me, the only thing we've talked about before he sleeps was... he's been in hiding, he can't come home to his apartment, I wonder what it is this time, I'm kinda worried about him. This morning, before I wake him to have breakfast, he was gone. But it kinda looks like he read my notes, I think that she likes Ms. Samantha too and he's just shy to attend the tutorial sessions,"
