The final week of school rapidly approached. While the boys immersed themselves in the band, they forgot about upcoming finals. The worst time of the year. The painfully long hours spent sitting at a desk completing tests on many different subjects while thinking of the paradise that awaits. Kazuha always thought of it as complete torture because who in their right mind would be able to completely focus on finals when the long-awaited summer vacation was right on the other side of those exams?
Kazuha easily maintained high grades. He's never been much of an overachiever, he isn't the highest-performing student in his year, although he does have above-average grades. Even so, finals stress him out a bit. He did manage to study thanks to Thoma's persistence in needing Kazuha to teach him some of the material that would be on the exams. While being Thoma's tutor, Kazuha used that to his advantage and went over some of the lessons he knew would be on the test.

Finally, Kazuha completed his last test. He turned in his test and slouched back in his chair as he waited for the bell to ring. Since he was bored out of his mind, he began scrolling on his phone. A few minutes passed, and the bell rang. Kazuha grabbed his things and headed off to the front of the school.
This morning before the exams, Scaramouche texted the group chat and alerted everyone to meet in front of the school after the exams. Since this was a last-minute meeting, no one besides Scaramouche knew what it was about. On his way to the front of the school, Kazuha saw Cyno and Tighnari.
"Hey guys!" Kazuha greeted them as he walked alongside them.
Kazuha looked over at Cyno who seemed a bit down while Tighnari was in high spirits. Cyno replied, "Hello..."
"Is something wrong?" Kazuha couldn't help but ask out of concern for his friend.
Tighnari rolled his eyes. "Don't mind him. He's just being a big baby because he thinks he failed his exams."
Cyno immediately retorted, "Easy for you to say. You're smart so you already know you automatically passed."
"Maybe if you focused more in class rather than playing that card game, you wouldn't have been stressing about your score right now," Tighnari scolded.
Kazuha is listening in on their bickering. Not only was he very amused but he couldn't help but laugh whenever Cyno would get scolded. After a long walk of Cyno and Tighnari arguing over Cyno's favorite card game, TCG, they arrived at the front of the school. Kazuha immediately spotted both Scaramouche and Thoma waiting by the school gate. Kazuha signaled Tighnari and Cyno to follow him to where the rest of the members were.
"Hey guys!" Thoma eagerly greeted. He leaned against the school entrance with his arms crossed over his chest.
Everyone exchanged greetings before Scaramouche spoke up, "Let's all go grab something quick to eat." Scaramouche began walking while the rest of the band members stood in place. They all looked at each other confused.
