Later this week

That time of the day when, after having a good lunch in the cafeteria, all you need is a good nap.

Especially after having the cheese macaroni-life just plays.

The amount of overacting you did there.

So what?

Nothing, go on with your prophecy of embarrassing me and I will go on with mine.

What's yours?

Thank me later.

What?

...

Hey, that's not fair.

"Who are you talking to, sleepyhead!" Xav exclaimed all of a sudden.

"Ah- nothing!" I replied.

"Don't tell me you were talking to yourself! Wait-I have a question... Do you believe that souls can connect and talk to each other?" He asked.

"What- I have never heard of that. Maybe they can-"

"Hello everyone! I have a surprise for you today!" Professor Rhio barged in and exclaimed.

I never liked him, he always plays games with us.

"What surprise!?" Xav asked me.

"How do I know? It's a surprise, duh!"

"That's what I said, sleepyhead!" He jerked my forehead with his palm and smirked.

I can't-

"There's going to be a surprise test right now!! And I-" he paused for us to complete his sentence, but nobody answered.

"... I am going to mark your assessment grades on that basis!" He clapped his hands once that startled the other sleepy ones like me.

Everyone including me gasped in unison in an utterly dramatic way.

You guys are so over-dramatic!

We are.

"Have you studied? I don't know anything! What will we do now?" I asked Xav.

"I know- nothing, and I also know that you know everything!" He chimed proudly.

What? Who said that? She's dumb.

The whole class started debating and mentioned many reasons to postpone the test, when the professor started laughing.

"Hahaha- calm down, you guys! There's no test, hahaha! Instead, the surprise is, I am going to give you this lecture-free. You all are dismissed," the professor chirped.

Xav and I looked at each other and then at the professor in unison, and then again towards each other.

"Woah!"
