NICE TO MEET YA

Exams [Y/n]

Today is the German exam. I think I know everything I need to know but I'm not sure! "Good luck!", mum says as I leave for school. On the way to school Niall asks me a few vocabularies that I was unsure about yesterday when we studied, but now I knew most of them. Once we get to school and sit down in the classroom, Saoirse, Roisin, Niall and I wish eachother good luck on the exam.

I don't really know what to think of the exam. "How much did you write?", I ask Niall, Saoirse and Roisin. "I wrote about three pages!" "Yeah, a little over three pages for me, too!" "I wrote a little more than three and a half pages!" "Oh,...", I start and know I've written too little, "I only wrote two pages, a little less maybe." "That doesn't meen it's not good! I repeated myself like five times!" "Saoirse's right, two pages is good! Especially, because you have a smaller handwritting than us!" "You really think so?" "Yes, I agree with Niall and Saoirse, two pages are very good!" I still don't really know, if they really mean what they said or if they're just trying to make me feel better.

The Maths exam is two days later. Again, I don't really know if I know everything. Last night I knew everything. This morning I knew everything. Now I know everything. When the exam is infronth of me, I'm not sure if I'll know everything anymore. "You'll do great, babe! I believe in you! You can do this!" "I don't know!" "Stop putting yourself down! If you believe you can do it, you can do it!" "I'll forget everything once the exam is infronth of me! Latest when we start the exam everything I know and have learned will be gone!" "Just do your best!"

I listen to Niall and try to do my best during the exam. After school mum asks "And, how was your exam today? Oh, and didn't you have one on monday aswell? How was that one?" "I don't really know! I don't have a good feeling though! In neither of them!" "I bet you did great! Even if not, you did your best and that's all that counts!" "Thanks, mum!"

The next week we have the English exam. I feel ready for this one. I think I'll be better in English as in Maths and German last week. "Have a better feeling for the English exam!" "That's good, but I think you did great on the German and Maths exam, too!" "Not so sure about that!" "I am! Trust me!" "I will...", I start and add another whispered, "...not!" "I heard that!" "I just said what I thought is right!" "Good luck!" "Good luck to you, too!" We say when the exams are put down on our desk.

This was definitelly easier than the other two exams! I ask Saoirse, Roisin and Niall for their oppinion to see if they think the same as me of the exam. "Did you think this one was easier than the others, too?" "Yeah, defenitelly!" "Yes, it was much better!" "If this one comes back bad, I don't know what to expect from the others!" "Me neither!" 

Another week later we get our results back. All three of them on the same day. I hate that. I know I've failed! I don't need proof! Definitely not three times on the same day! First period is English. "Good job, Y/n!", the teacher says and gives me back my exam. "What did you get?", I ask Niall, Saoirse and Roisin. "A!" "B+!" "I also got a B+!" "I got a B!", I say proud of what I achieved. "I knew you could do it, babe!", Niall says and gives me a kiss.

Second period is Maths. This isn't gonna be good! "I knew you could do it!", the teacher says and hands me my exam. Oh my god! I have a B-! How is that possible? "What are you so shocked about?" "I got a B-!" "That's amazing, babe!" "I have no clue how I managed that!" "You managed because you knew what you we're doing! I'm so proud of you!" "Thank you so much, babe! What did you get by the way?" "An A!" "In both we got back till now you have an A, how much did you study, you nerd?", I laugh and Niall knows it's meant in a positive way. "Not at all actually, I only looked over the excersises I did with you! That's all!" "You're lying! If the next one is an A aswell I know you're lying!" "But I'm not lying!" The two of us continue to laugh.

Next is German. I know I failed that! There's no way I got anything higher than a C-! "I want to talk to you after class please, Y/n!", the teacher says giving me the exam. I'm too afraid to look at the mark. Why does she wanna talk to me after class? I didn't pass, that's it! "Why are you crying? Babe? Y/n? What's wrong?" "I..." "Y/n, do you want to go outside for five minutes with Niall?" I nod and we leave the classroom and I take my exam with me. "Can you...", I start but can't continue but Niall knows what I want to say. "Sure! Come here, babe, we'll open it together!" "I can't!" "Why not?" "She wants to talk to me after class! That means I failed!" Niall huggs me and looks at the mark. I don't want to see it so I look away! "This is amazing!" "What?" "You have an A!" "What?" "You have the best exam from the entire grade!" Niall gives me a big hug and a kiss. "I knew you would do great!"

After class I go up to the teacher and she says "Y/n, I knew you would be very good! I'm proud of you!". "Thank you so much!" "No problem! I wanted to ask, if you might be interested in a project week in Germany. It wouldn't cost you anything and it would be next october." "Thank you for the offer, but I need some time to think about it if it's ok." "Of course! Take your time! Well done again! Have a nice weekend!" "Thank you! You, too!" I leave the classroom and run to tell Niall.
