One week later......

On the morning of the exam day, tension hangs heavy in the air as students scramble to revise their notes and cram in last-minute study sessions. Abhishek wakes up early, feeling a knot of nervousness in his stomach as he prepares for the day ahead. Kashish, too, is awake, her mind buzzing with equations and formulas as she tries to mentally prepare for the exams.

As they make their way to the exam hall, they exchange nervous glances, offering each other silent words of encouragement. In the hall, they find their friends, who are equally tense but trying to maintain a facade of confidence.

"Best of luck, everyone," Ritika says, her voice trembling slightly with nerves. "We've got this!"

Abhishek and Kashish exchange a quick glance, their eyes reflecting a mix of determination and anxiety. They share a brief moment of solidarity before heading to their respective seats, their hearts heavy at the prospect of being separated during the exam.

As the exam paper is distributed, a wave of tension washes over the students. Ritika furrows her brow as she scans the questions, feeling a sense of dread creeping in. "This looks tough," she mutters under her breath, her heart sinking at the sight of the complex problems laid out before her.

Shreya's eyes widen in alarm as she flips through the pages, her mind racing to recall the formulas and concepts she had studied. "I didn't expect it to be this difficult," she whispers to herself, her confidence wavering with each passing moment.

Divya's hands tremble slightly as she holds the pen, her thoughts scattered as she struggles to make sense of the questions. "I thought I was prepared, but this... this is something else," she murmurs, her voice tinged with frustration.

Meanwhile, Kashish's eyes light up with determination as she surveys the paper, her mind immediately springing into action. "I've got this," she tells herself, a steely resolve settling over her. She begins to tackle the questions methodically, drawing upon her hours of diligent preparation to navigate through the challenges.

Abhishek's jaw clenches as he reads the first question, his confidence waning in the face of the daunting task ahead. "I can't let this paper defeat me," he thinks to himself, steeling his resolve to give it his best shot despite the overwhelming difficulty.

Rishab and Harshit exchange worried glances as they pore over the paper, their expressions mirroring the growing sense of unease in the room. "This is going to be a tough one," Rishab admits, his voice tinged with resignation as he braces himself for the challenge.

Tanmay, usually the picture of confidence, feels a flicker of doubt as he scans the questions, his mind racing to come up with solutions. "I wasn't expecting this level of difficulty," he muses, a furrow forming on his brow as he grapples with the unfamiliar problems.

After the exam ends.....

In the bustling corridor of the college, the students gather in small groups, their faces a mixture of relief and anxiety after the grueling exam. Ritika sighs deeply, her shoulders slumping as she joins her friends. "That was brutal," she exclaims, her voice tinged with frustration. "I couldn't even finish some of the questions."

Shreya nods in agreement, her brow furrowed with worry. "I thought I was prepared, but those questions were something else," she admits, her voice betraying a hint of disappointment.

Divya frowns, her lips forming a thin line as she recalls the challenging problems she faced. "I don't know if I did enough to pass," she confesses, her tone tinged with uncertainty.

Kashish, however, wears a small smile as she recounts her experience. "I actually found it okay," she reveals, a glimmer of confidence shining in her eyes. "I think I managed to tackle most of the questions."

Ritika: "Seriously? You were the one saying just a week ago that you hadn't studied a word."

Kashish: "I know, right? I'm just as surprised as you are."

Abhishek: puts his arm around Kashish's shoulder "She's the topper, guys. Kashish could probably ace the class with just one night of studying."

Harshit: "Yeah, yeah, but Abhishek, how was your paper?"

Kashish: "Yeah, Abhishek, spill! How did it go?"

Abhishek: "Not good. I'm not even sure if I'll pass or not."

Kashish: "You'll definitely pass, Abhishek. I believe in you."

Rishab and Harshit exchange a knowing glance, their thoughts mirroring each other's. "It was definitely challenging," Rishab admits, a hint of resignation in his voice. "But we'll just have to wait and see how it turns out."

Tanmay nods in agreement, his expression thoughtful as he processes the events of the exam. "I wasn't expecting it to be so tough," he confesses, a note of surprise in his voice.
"But I gave it my best shot."

Shreya: "Okay, guys, so our first exam is over! Let's celebrate with lunch!"

Everyone agrees enthusiastically, eager to put the stress of exams behind them and enjoy a well-deserved break.
