Intoxicated

Chapter 26

The alarm started echoing through the bedroom, indicating it was time to get up.

Our last exams were today and after that we had to wait about a week for the results to come out.

So this was it, after today there would be nothing more we could do than wait for the results.

If everything went well I would be graduating in drama, harry would be getting his business degree, Liam would get his doctorate, Niall would graduate in Music and Zayn and Rose would graduate in modern art.

After getting ready and having a quick breakfast, Harry and I drove to school.

Once there we met up with the others, all wishing each other good luck before we parted ways to go to our respective classrooms.

I arrived at the classroom and sat down in the back, almost right after the teacher came in silencing the hushed whispers and turmoil around the room.

The teacher handed out the papers and sat back down at his desk in front of the class, watching over us.

'You may now begin, you have an hour to take the exam before I will collect your papers. Good luck everyone.' He spoke up

I turned the page and scanned over the questions quickly before I started answering them.

Q1. What is drama.?

Q2. What is the difference between a play, production and performance?

Q3. In what ways can drama be expressed.

After the first couple of questions the answers came to me quickly.

Knowing most of the questions made me feel confident.

Finally I turned the page, my eyes landing on the final question.

Q.39 How does language contribute to the scene and mood of a play?

I froze as I scanned over the question again and again.

I knew deep down that I had the answer but as the time ticked by my mind just went blank.

I wanted to graduate so bad that I had started to panic.

Of course I was well aware that I wouldn't fail on one unanswered question but the pressure prevented me from thinking straight.

What must have only been a minute or five felt like forever as I racked my brain for the answer.

Eventually the teacher spoke up again.

'Alright everyone put your pencils down and turn your paper upside down as I come by to collect them.'

I sighed as I put my pencil down, scanning over my answers one last time before I turned the paper around.

All of them seemed to be right except for the last one, which I didn't manage to answer in the end.

When the teacher had collected all of the papers he wished everyone a good day before he allowed us to leave.

Subconsciously I walked out of the school and up to the big oak tree that had become our meeting spot during the year, my mind still focussed on that last question.

After a couple of minutes Harry and the others joined me under the tree.

We sat down together and talked about the exams and our hopes and dreams for our future.

All of us thought our exams went pretty well, now all that was left was to wait and see if we would all graduate.
