"How did you do on your tests?" Megumi asked as she walked up to Yuki's desk. She watched him pack his pencils and highlighters, stuffing them in his bag before looking up at her.
"It went well," He nodded, giving the girl a charming smile. "What about yours?"
She mirrored him. "Good, I didn't fail any, so no- no remake tests for me." She beamed, shoulders finally dropping as the tension eased away.
The testing season was always a stressful time for students. Megumi had consistently been in the top thirty in her grade, yet each time the big tests were mentioned, she felt the same dread every other student went through. Only after seeing her grades and her rating of twenty-first, did she relax and wander over to see how Yuki did.
On the top of his papers, she could see hints of his grades, no number lower than seven to be seen. Megumi knew he must have been in the top ten, with how easy it was him for to memorize everything taught to him.
As Yuki put away his papers, Megumi peered over her shoulder to catch a glimpse of Tohru. She had expected the girl to be beaming like Yuki and she was after the amount the three studied together, yet was horribly off.
Tohru sulked in her chair, hands buried in her hands as shook her head to herself in distraught. A heavy gloom hung in the air around her like a suffocating blanket that astounded Megumi. She silently watched as Uo sauntered over to the dejected girl before pursing her lips and following.
"Hang on," She said to Yuki quickly, without looking away from the brunette. She crept up behind the long-haired blonde, poking her shoulder and quietly whispering in her ear. "Did Tohru not- not p-pass some of her tests?"
Uo stiffly nodded back, crossing her arms over her chest as Tohru wallowed silently. "Yes, but only one. It's her first time so she taking it hard."
Hana creeps up behind the group, placing a comforting hand on the melancholy girls shoulder. "It's a trifle compared to me, who fails every subject." The wave-reading girl hums. Megumi blanches at the new info, unsure how that was supposed to make Tohru feel better. How could one even fail every subject...?
Uo narrows her eyes as well. "You should be more bummed about that, y'know?"
"I'm pretty sure it-it's harder to fail all of them than pass them..." Megumi adds quietly, trying to figure out the odds in her head.
"Didn't you and the prince tutor her?" Uo asked the shorter blonde, leaning her arm against her shoulder.
Megumi tensed under the weight, wincing at being used as a human shelf. She gently pries the arm away from her as she answers. "We did a s-study group almost every night... May-Maybe we didn't go over the material en-enough?" She asked, directed her question at Tohru.
