  "Anya-Chan! Anya-Chan!" Becky yelled as she ran around the school, ignoring the judgmental children. She glared at all of them and continued to yell, looking for Anya.

"Anya-Chan! Hey, have you seen Anya?" She asked and Damian turned around, asking her to repeat the question. And when she did, his face immediately went red as he recalled what had happened. He crossed his arms.

"Y-yeah, I did. But she ran off somewhere. Why do you need her?" Damian asked with a bit of defense, and Becky just rolled her eyes.

"Because! Midterm results are coming in a few minutes, and I need to see it with her!" She exclaimed and Damian's attention was finally caught. He turned over to Becky.

"Why? Why do you need to do everything with her?" He asked, and Becky was surprised. Why was Damian acting up about her and Anya's relationship? They were friends! Of course they'd do everything together!

"Why are you so defensive all of a sudden-? You hate us! And just to let you know, I hate you too." Becky snapped back and Damian had finally realized what he just said.

Why would he care for commoners? Specifically, a Forger?

They were below his level, below him! It was ridiculous how he had suddenly been so angry when she asked-well, that's what he said to himself.

"You know what..it was stupid. I couldn't care less where she is!" He snapped and stormed off, leaving Becky a bit shocked. What's up with him-? She shrugged and forgot about it, running off to find Anya again.

"Anya! Anya-Chan!" Becky kept running around, and finally found Anya! She was sitting on a bench, eating something Loid had probably packed for her. Becky gasped and finally slowed down once she reached her.

"Anya-Chan! Where have you been? And-why are you sitting here? It's so exclusive from the school!" Becky asked with concern, sitting down next to Anya. Anya swallowed her food and smiled.

"Hi, Becky! Anya was just a bit overwhelmed from the crowd, it happens to Anya a bunch. Do you want a slice? Papa packed it!" Anya handed her a side, and Becky thought for a bit. She accepted it and thanked her, especially because it was from Loid!

"Mm! It!s really good! Ah, my Loid is such a great cook!" She fantasized as she took another bite, laughing with Anya as they sat there, chatting and laughing some more. They had almost lost track of time, til Anya had suddenly realized.

"SHOCK!! BECKY, IT'S TEST DAY! ANYA NEEDS TO CHECK HER RESULTS!" Anya got up and Becky had the realization sink in too, running with her back to the main area. There was a bunch of a sulking kids, and a bunch of hyper ones. Meaning, that the boards were still up.

Becky commanded everybody to move over, and so they did. She thanked them afterwards and looked up. And there it was.

The glorious sight.

Anya on language arts, had scored an 92%!

A smile beamed across Anya's face as the thought also hit. She had a score above 90, meaning she also got a stella!

Becky pointed at it, Anya scored 2nd place for it. Becky squealed with Anya as they both celebrated. The kids had finally payed attention, applauding Anya and cheering for her. Not only would Anya get what she wanted, she'd get a stella! Meaning, could she get an extra award?

"Damian Desmond, Anya Forger, Alice Paulie, Harris Trenchman, and Bill Watkins. Please come up to receive your merits!" Henry had called them up, and they all stepped up. Anya smiled to Damian and he fought his back, finally smiling back. Becky cheered for Anya, and everyone else did too. They of course congratulated Damian and the other kids.
