XIII. I Nearly Failed

  Chapter 13,
    I Nearly Failed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" With all the studying that we did for the past two weeks, I still almost failed the midterm. That's a better result from last year, I'll take a C minus over an F any day. "

~ Deb's POV ~

  The midterm wasn't that bad, I studied all I could with Ophelia and made sure I knew at least what the hell I was writing. Although it didn't help that I nearly fell asleep during the midterm, I was pretty glad it was over though.

   "What do you think you got?"

  Aurora asked me as we walked to the library together.

  "In all honesty, I don't know. Anything but an F."

  I muttered as we walked into the library, I was really hoping I had a better grade than an F. Even though that should be the grade I deserve.

  The library is a place to go when you want to hang out or study, or do both. I was sometimes in the library because I wanted to seem smart for a boy who would never notice me, it wasn't desperate though. Although a lot of people would think and say it is.

   I was spacing out when we walked to the back of the library where the tables and chairs were, Ophelia and Winslow were already there. They love being on time or early to things, it's weird but I'd never tell them that.

   Have you ever noticed that life can be mixture of sweet and salty when you have best friends? It's like you know you have people who care for you and would never leave you, even if you think they should. I enjoyed it however, having people who love and support me like family is everything you'd ever want and need.

  "Deb? Earth to Deborah,"
 
   Ophelia sang as she waved her long ass fingers in my face, I blinked a couple of times before zoning back in to whatever the hell we were talking about. I was already sat down with my biology book opened to the page we were going to work on.

   "Sorry, I was zoned out for a moment. What were we talking about?"

   I asked as I got my pencil case out and took out my highlighters, eraser, pencil, and pen.

   "Spring break, what are you planning to do when it comes?"

   Winslow asked, which got me thinking since I have zero idea of what I am going to do.

   I want to go back home and sleep in until i don't want to sleep anymore but I know that I want to hang out with my friends. As much as I can plan my spring break, it won't go as plan, that's just not how it works.

  "No idea, probably hang out with y'all if you aren't going anywhere."

  I muttered as I began to read the page I was on.

"Maybe you can come with me, I'm headed to New York for spring break."

   Aurora offered as she smiled up at me, I nodded my head slowly considering the offer. I wouldn't mind going to New York.

  "Yeah sure, we can take some photos and have a bonding moment."

  I smiled finally before moving onto the next page, i had no idea what I was supposed to read or understand but I read it.

   "They posted our grades, let's all check at the same time."

   Ophelia got all excited as we grabbed our laptops and turned them on, I wasn't excited about seeing my grade because I knew I failed but the benefit of the doubt.

   Winslow and Ophelia passed with flying colors as always, Aurora passed with a B-, and I still hadn't checked mine. When I finally had the courage to click on my grade, I was happy to have been proven wrong.

   "I got a C minus, I'm pretty proud of that. It's better than an F."

   I smiled, Ophelia looked at me with furrowed eyebrows as she checked my laptop, a sigh left her mouth as she returned my laptop to me. I don't know why she's so depressed, I still passed with an okay grade.

  " With all the studying that we did for the past two weeks, I still almost failed the midterm. That's a better result from last year, I'll take a C minus over an F any day. "

   I spoke to Ophelia, there's always next time, I don't have to dwell on one bad grade.

   Nobody should dwell on a bad grade, as long as you know you did your best, that's all that matters. That's what Aurora tells me, Ophelia and Winslow anyways.
