The next morning my alarm blares I swear it hurts to hear I quickly turn it off as I rub the exhaustion from my eyes. I look at my wife with her arms still wrapped around my chest. I don't know if she's still asleep after my alarm. I slowly move myself so as not to wake her up. A soft hum escapes my lips as I say quietly to myself "I can't believe that I was lucky enough to date this woman."
As I get off the bed with a soft creak I make my way to the bathroom door quietly opening it. He looks in the mirror and it's normal as he thinks saying
"Maybe it was just a dream after all.." I change into a suit making sure I look good for the test I'll never know what's ahead of me. As I get in the car and start driving the Rosar HQ I feel the panic slowly seep deeper down into my head I shake my head and take a deep breath as I pull into the parking lot. I feel something rest on my shoulder I look around in a panic to see a small necklace with the Roman symbol for space "What the...? I guess it could be a good luck charm." As I looked at it I unclipped the necklace with some struggle and putting it on was even harder once I did I sighed "How does my love wear these every day Jesus I was fighting with it." As I walk in I look at the seven others some looking more nervous than others well others are casually chatting and smiling I join the pool of seven one of the people smiling turns and says
??? "Oh, you're the eighth person right.?"
"Well Oh yeah, I am what's your name...? I'm Astrodude."
"Call me Veritasium I run a YouTube channel with the same name it's nice to meet you. He extends his hand with a wide but friendly smile
"Oh ...nice to meet you too may the best win...?"
I try to smile back knowing it's probably awkward the first test is called and it's a math test as Houston called that out several of us groaned in annoyance as it was handed out but we all quickly got to work realizing what was ahead of us. Houston walks around like a teacher would in a classroom a cocky smirk plastered onto his face the whole time I could sense his glare as he glazed over my paper with a slight tilt of his head then kept moving. The demure of the room was enjoyable with how quiet it was around only hearing the sounds of scratching pen on paper. Everyone finished I was second to turn mine in he told us to come back tomorrow when the next test would take place to be ready for it that was ominous enough that everyone stood up, stretched their legs
Veritasium walks up to me saying "How'd you think you did.?" I shrug saying "Not sure a little bit nervous but there's nothing I can do now we both look at each other before he leaves I decide to drive home.
