"I can't do this." I say burring my face in my pillow. Keefe laughs.
"They're just finals."
"Yes, and I still have no clue what half the classes I'm taking are about."
"You'll do fine."
"No, I won't. I'm going back with the humans." I sigh.

"I'll help you study." He says.
"Really?" I ask sitting up.
"Yeah, I'll come over tomorrow after school and we can study."
"You're a life saver." He smiles at me.

The next day we lightleap to my house. I pull out my books.
"What class do we start off with?"
"Elvin history."

He starts to ask me questions and I answer.
"You're not that bad." Keefe says. I sigh and lean back.
"I need a break." I say.
"Me too." He says.

"Why don't we go to the human world, and potentially stay there for 2 days." I say.
"B." Keefe says. I sigh.
"Party pooper."

"Where's your snack drawer?" He asks.
"I don't have one."
"What? Everyone has one."
"Not me."

Keefe sighs before going downstairs to get snacks. I look over the notes since I hadn't seen them.

Keefe comes back and hands me mallowmelt.

He asks me a question and I remember seeing the question. I answer.
"I love photographic memory." I say.
"I told you, you could do it." He says. I smile.

I quiz him.

"If I don't go to school tomorrow, don't be surprised." I say to Keefe.
"You literally have photogenic memory. You'll be fine."
"It's still scary."
"You're going." He says.
"We'll see."
"Goodnight, B." Keefe says before walking out.

In the morning I wake up to banging sounds. I sit up.

Keefe's hitting pans.
"Rise and shine, cupcake." He says.
"Shut up!" I yell throwing a pillow at him. He dodges it and laughs. He sets the pans down.

"Come on, get up." He says.
"No." I say laying back down. He throws the pillow at me.

"Do you have a death wish?" I ask.
"No. Now go shower." He says.
"You're the most annoying person I know." I say. He laughs.

I grab my uniform and go into the bathroom.

I get ready and walk out. Keefe's waiting for me on my bed.

"Ready?" He asks.
"I'm going to murder you."
"You can do that after you ace your finals."
"I hate you."
"Awe. I love you too." He grabs my arm and we walk out.

We lightleap to Foxfire.

Once inside we get to class.

We both get handed a thinking cap. I put it on.
"I hate these, they mess up my hair." Keefe says putting it on.
"Good." I say.
"You can't stay mad at me forever." He says sitting next to me.
"I think I can." I say. He laughs.

We all get handed our exams.

All of the questions are simple since they were in the notes.

The day goes on and I finish all the tests.

I walk out and Keefe follows me to my locker.
"How's my hair look?" He asks.
"Horrendous." I say not looking up.
"You did not just insult my hair." Keefe says dramatically. I hang up the cap on my locker.
"I'm not happy with you, so walk away." I say. He smiles.
"You love me and you know it." He says and I roll my eyes.

I lightleap home and start preparing the gifts for everyone.

The next day, Alice and Gael come to school with me.
"We'll meet you out here." Alice says to me. I nod.

I go to Keefe's locker. I put the gifts in his cap.

"Told you, you loved me." Keefe says appearing behind me.
"I will take them out." I say.
"Them? So it's more than one?"
"You're unbelievably annoying." I say and he smiles.

"So what did you get me?" He asks.
"You can find out later." I say. "What about you?"
"Oh, since you're mad, I didn't get you anything."
"Oh." I say slightly disappointed. He laughs.
"I'm kidding, B."

We walk to our friends lockers and put our gifts in.

We get to Tam's and surprisingly Keefe puts something in.
"What?" Keefe asks noticing my surprise.
"Didn't expect that." I say.
"Oh, it's a pair of scissors." He says. I laugh and roll my eyes.

I catch one of the floating treats in the air.
"Lucky." Keefe says looking to see if there's another. I split it and give him half. He smiles. "Thanks."

"The speech is about to start." Keefe says dragging me.

We sit with the group.

Magnate Leto is standing in the front.

"I've got to say, this year has been amazing. There are so many talented and powerful elves in here." He says. Keefe elbows me slightly.
"He's talking about you." Keefe whispers.

"I am incredibly proud of everyone this year and hope you guys continue to keep it up next year. I hope you all enjoy your summer and I'll see you next year!" He says.

We all cheer.
"Thank god he kept it short." Keefe says as we start to walk to our lockers.

We stop at mine first. It's overflowing.
"Holy shit." I mutter.
"What can I say, you're popular." Keefe says. I roll my eyes.
"I'm gonna wait until I'm home to look through it." I say. He nods.

We walk to his. His is just as full.
"You're pretty popular too." I say. He smiles. His smile drops as he sees something behind me. I turn and his dad. Alice and Gael are with him.

"Don't leave me with him." Keefe whispers.

"You did amazing." Alice says hugging me. I smile.
"I'm guessing I passed." I say.
"Passed is an understatement." Gael says.

"How mad are you?" Keefe asks his dad.
"I'm not. You aced them." Mr. Sencen says. Keefe's face fills with relief.
"Good job, Keefe." Gael says. Keefe smiles at him.

We lightleap to my house.

I walk into my room. There's a huge stuffed panda sitting on my bed. I smile at Keefe, who's smiling back.

I hug Keefe.
"I love it." I say.

"Yeah, he's no Mr. Gibbs but it's the best I could do." Keefe says. I smile.
"He's amazing."
"I already named him."
"What is it?" I ask.
"Mr. FuzzyWuzzy." I laugh.
"It's perfect." I say.

He smiles at me softly. I hug him again.
"Thank you, Keefe." I say.
"I'm guessing you're not mad anymore." He whispers. I pull away.
"Still undecided." I say. He smiles before kissing my forehead.
