Dead Bite

Chapter 22

After prom we had our last 2 months of school. Which meant shit loads of testing. Thank god Anna and I had first hour together because that's where we were testing. I knew not to bother her though, she cared about her grades more than anything. She wanted to go to a college for arts and stuff because she really liked to draw and paint out her feelings and she was really artistic.

"I'm so not ready for testing tomorrow. I don't think I'm prepared." Anna said.

"Babe we've been studying together for weeks of course you can do it. You're the smartest person I know." I said.

"Yeah I guess. Hopefully I do good enough." She said.

"Yeah, and you need to get on your college applications. You don't want to be late on that." I said.

"Shit yeah you're right. I'll do them when I get home tonight if not tomorrow. Thanks for reminding me." She said.

"Of course." I said.

Every time we brought up college I would get worried about if we would break up when she left. It would be hard to do long distance after being so close for so long.

"What are you thinking about?" Anna asked.

"Huh? Nothin'." I said.

"Yeah right. You look worried. What's up?" She asked.

"I just don't want anything bad to happen while you leave." I said.

"Nothing will happen. And if it does, we can fix it." She said.

"Yeah you're right. It's just hard to think about." I said.

"We'll be perfectly fine. You can visit me anytime since you'll have loads of free time after all this music stuff." She said.

"Oh yeah speaking of, we just released the new album." I said.

"Really? I might just listen to that." She said.

"Good." I said.

"Alright I gotta go. I gotta prepare for tomorrow." She said.

"I love you." I said.

"I love you too." She said, giving me a kiss before leaving.

It was pretty late, so I decided to shower and get to bed, I wanted to have rest for such a long day.

I woke up and it was 6 in the morning. I groaned and went out of bed, heading for the shower. I put on random clothes and drove to school. Anna always got to school earlier for student council, I tried to be there as early as I could to see her.

I walked over to the office thing they have for the student council president and Anna was studying at her desk.

"Good morning." I said, placing a coffee down I bought for her.

"Thank you." Anna said.

"How are you feeling?" I asked.

"Nervous. I sent out college applications yesterday night. Now I'm just a mess." She said.

"I bet you're gonna get into the best college they have." I said.

"I hope so." She said.

"You wanna take a walk while we still have time?" I asked.

"Yes, I need to get away from these notes and shit anyway." She said, standing up.

I grabbed Anna's hand and we took a walk until the bell rang. We went to first hour and they had all the testing stuff ready.

"Okay everyone. There is absolutely no talking whatsoever. You can listen to music but it has to be low volume to where I cant hear it through your earbuds. Good luck." Mrs. Ryan said.

I plugged in my earbuds and listened to my playlist while I did my test. Music seemed to help me focus. Anna on the other hand just focused on her test and only her test.

A few hours later I finished. I felt that I did good and I hoped I did good. Anna was still working while almost everyone else was done. I loved how much she took her time. She really cared about how she did.

"Anna, are you almost done?" The teacher asked.

"Yes." Anna said, not even looking up from her computer.

Anna finally finished and we got to talk to each other since everyone was done.

"That was quite stressful." Anna said.

"How come?" I asked.

"There were some questions I never even heard of." She said.

"That's okay. I'm sure you did amazing." I said.

She smiled. I was sure she did amazing, because it's Anna. She was one of the smartest people in the school.
