It's not okay, Rose Anne.

I heaved a deep breath and looked at the letter I received via email from Malaya Business Academy. For the second time, I failed to get in.

My first try was after high school, when I took the admission test with JK. He passed, and I was short of 20% of the score to get a slot. There was an option where you can take another exam before your second year, given that you have enrolled in any bachelor's degree for your first year. I prepared with all my best, but I think I had shortcomings again.

"What would JK say if he learned I failed again?" I muttered and crumpled the paper. I threw it inside my bag and looked outside the classroom. I can see the Brighton University open ground here, and many students are lying on the grass, reading, snacking, playing guitar, some are even having a little date with their boy or girlfriend. Such a pity, if only JK and I were in the same school, we could have hung out together.

JK helped me greatly in my review, always telling me that I can do it this time–I just have to believe in myself. But see? I'm so stupid.

I guess I would be stuck in this school for the rest of my three remaining years in college. Auntie Annaly and Mom both had high hopes that I would pass. How could I face them now?

I can imagine what Jasmine would say. She'll surely call me an idiot (-_-).

My brooding stopped when I felt my phone vibrate. I took it from my bag and saw Elise's message. Wait. On the bright side, I would be able to stay with Elise! Why did I felt like the 3 years would be bad when I have her with me here? Tsk, Rose Anne.

Feeling a bit lighter, I opened her chat. She's in class now, why is she using her phone?

[Is Inocencio replying to your chats?]

Sigh~

Is she and Jim fighting again? I don't understand those two. They are always fighting, but then I know that they both have feelings for each other.

I typed a reply, [haven't talked to him. Why?]

[I sent him a message and he's just 'seen'! WTF]

Pfft. I wonder what kind of message she sent.

[What did you tell him?]

[Well, just a chain message that if he didn't pass it to 10 people, he'd get a zero on the finals]

Hays. I don't really understand Elise.

Then she sent another message. [Btw, did you get the results today?] [Did you pass? You're now gonna leave me alone????]

Again, the feeling of disappointment and failure came flooding.

[Yep. Got it. But I failed again T^T]

It took a while before Elise replied. I know she's figuring out what to tell me. She knew how much it meant to me to pass and be able to enroll to the same school as JK.
