Usagi stood at the doorway of her college classroom. The class was filled with ascending levels of chairs and desks. She watched as her fellow classmates go up the stairs, talk, get settled in, and some last minute studying. She stepped her leg out to go in, but she couldn't. She couldn't make herself step forward. Was it nervousness, was it fear? She just stood there, her mouth open wide, right foot in the air holding her books close to her chest. Suddenly, Rei and Minako jump on either of Usagi. Usagi's heart skips a beat from her friends' little stunt. "Rei, Minako-chan, you guys scared me!"

"What'cha waiting for?" asked Rei.

"I don't know..."

"Come on, let's go in," Minako guided Usagi in with her hand. They walked up the stairs to their seats.

"You guys ready for this, I doubt it after one study session with Ami," she sneered at her friends.

"I think I'll be alright. Ami was pretty thorough," Minako replied.

"I don't know about me," Usagi doubted herself. She slumped down in her seat.

"We're gonna go back and review later this week. Oh, maybe I can call her now and ask if we can do something today. She probably at the library or something," Minako took out her phone to dial Ami's number.

"Really Minako? The sensei will be here any minute now," said Rei.

"It won't take too long," Minako fanned her hand at Rei, though both girls were seemingly oblivious Usagi slowly becoming more and more depressed by the second. The sensei walked into the room and Rei put Minako's phone down.

"Okay, everyone quiet down and pencils out," she picked up a clear container her desk. "Aino-san, we'll start with you. Pass that around, the last person will bring it back to me. I'm passing out the exam now, we will begin once everyone has been given one."

"200 questions?! Oh man...," Usagi put her head down on her desk.

"You'll be fine, Usa-chan. Don't sweat it!" Minako assured her.

"Okay, 3-2-1 start your tests," the sensei commanded.

"Good luck you two," Rei whisper and started writing.

About three hours later, the sensei spoke again, "Okay, people pencils down and put your exams on my desk." The students piled in at her desk, leaving their exams in a messy stack and walking out the door.

The girls walked out the doors of the university, "Why do I feel so excited, is that normal?" asked Minako.

"I'm fine," Rei shrugged.

"Maybe I'm just nervous..."

"I'm way stressed you guys," Usagi pulled on her hair.

"Quit it, you'll start getting white hairs," Rei warned her.

"Rei!"

"Okay, girls how about we go somewhere!" Minako suggested.

"Sorry, but I'm going for lunch with Rikuto."

"Oh, I'm so jealous!" Minako said excitedly.

"Then why don't we go for lunch Mako-chan's restaurant, Minako-chan. Her food always fills me up and I'm really hungry, " said Usagi.

That's the Usagi I know!"

"Hmmm!" Usagi said putting down her bowl of rice, "You can really tell that Makoto made this!"
