Star-crossed (A not so normal life)

Chapter 7 ~Carefree~

I'm at the exam hall and Theo is standing in front of me with his friends. They are studying and I am trying my best to concentrate on what I'm reading. If I don't remember this, I'll surely be doomed in the exam. Finals have always stressed me out. Not only finals but every single exam I take.

Theo keeps looking at me from time to time and I keep looking back. I turn around and see that Alex is standing behind me with his friends. God help me. I'm doomed.

I sit down and start writing once the teacher gives us the papers. I can't really concentrate properly. This isn't like me. It's stressing me out. I can't think straight. No! I can't be doing this right now. I don't want to get a bad test score. I keep telling myself that I can do it.

"How much time do we have left?" I ask the teacher. "You have an hour left." She replies. I feel so dumb. I've been stressing thinking that I'm running out of time. I take one thing at a time and finish the paper. I'm not very confident about some of my answers but just go with it.

After the first paper all of us are very stressed. That is a paper that I trust my marks with.

We sit down for the next paper after 30 minutes and Theo is still in the hall. They have about 5 minutes left. I can't stop staring at him. I do the paper really fast thinking that it's only 1 1/2 hours. I end it in an hour. Honestly that paper was better than the previous one.

Alex is sitting diagonally to my right and Theo is sitting in the front and I have a very clear view of both of them. So I spend the next 1/2 hours staring. I ask the teacher a question and she checks the front of my paper and it says 2 hours and I'm like oh great.

I keep double checking my paper for the remaining 1/2 hours. I've already checked this paper 5 times but I continue while staring at Theo.

Once our paper is collected, we all gathered together and discuss the answers. Now that everyone is talking about their questions and answers, I can't remember my own.

I spend the rest of the day, downstairs at the canteen. We talk and just enjoy the end of the week.

I leave school and am about to get into a bus when Theo comes to the stand and wait.... Did he just wave at me? Am I hallucinating? No way. I don't think he waved. But he is smiling at me while smirking. I'm not so sure. I return the smile and I leave. I should have waited longer and gotten into another bus. I think while going home.

I just realized, I haven't talked to Alex in 2 days. It does not feel right. During the exam, we kept making eye contact but he would break it. It's not like him. I am really confused. But I'm just enjoying my day and I have to start studying soon.

I'm so excited for this weekend. It's going to be so fun and so stressful. Hopefully I can finish studying the subjects that I have on Monday and Tuesday.
