Ethan's POV
3 Faith classroom
"Students, everyone has passed but only 20% of the class crossed distinction," Ms Jaslyn told us. "I could tell you all were trying your best to stay awake, but we must get used to this. We're going to encounter so many more afternoon papers in the future. And in no order of merit, starting from Ethan and Chloe."
She ran over to our table cutely. "Ethan, not bad for your first afternoon test. Chloe, you have a lot to work on," she whispered to us. "Anika, well done. Shenhe, you did just as well."

Shenhe: turn around guys! Turn over your papers at the count of
All: 1, 2, 3!
(They turn over their papers)
Anika: oh my god, OH MY GOD! 18/20!
Ethan: OMG 13?! I thought I was gonna fail.
Shenhe: A f*king distinction, let's go!
Anika: but Chloe looks sad...
Ethan: yea, Ms Jaslyn said she had a lot to work on. Hey!
(Shenhe snatches the paper from Chloe's hands)
Shenhe: OMG LOOK! We have a dummy in our geog class! I don't even know why she took geog! She got 10/20!
Xingqiu and Keqing: You're in 3 Faith
The best class
You should always get the highest grade
Don't settle for no.2
Because it'll be a habit
That'll break your f*king life
Ms Jaslyn: alright, enough is enough! Let's go through the paper.

Christina's POV
3 Joy classroom
"Historians*," Mr Wang our teacher declared. "We have a 95% pass rate for this combined class, which is heartening. Highest was 16/20, but to respect this person, I will not say it to respect this person. In no order of merit, but by the order of I collected your paper."
Being a 3 Joy student, I was entertained by how Crystal watched her friends get their results before us. She was smiling for them, and they were all cheering at the top of their voices. And one pair was before us, the other behind.
-
?**: I got 14 for history!
?+?: WOOHOO! *hi-5 together*
-
"Who are they?" I whispered.
"That's YZ and Lucas. They can be loud, but then again, kettle calling the pot black," Crystal added. Just then, Mr Wang handed us our papers faced down. We turned over our papers and we cheered.
"I got 16!" I announced. "The highest!" And that's when Crystal pounced on me.
"Congrats my Pookie!" She squealed.
"Thanks. Hey, let's look at your paper. Oh, you didn't do too bad."
"Really?" She looked at her paper. "That's a relief. 12/20." I'm glad we both did well this time.
YZ's POV
"Crystal," Ethan told Crystal. "Anika wants to know how well you did for history."
"12," I replied.
All of a sudden, there was a chorus of jeers. "Oh my god, even your sister is smarter than you! I think you must be spending all your time with your Japanese cuties," Keqing criticised. "Like what's their use on your life?"
"They teach you how to preserve-" However, Chloe was being shut off when Keqing used a chair and covered her mouth.
"Which is what you never do. You always complain whenever it's PE and try to avoid PE at all costs."
"It's because of people like you!"
"Look at Chloe! All Chloe will ever like are cute teenagers that either go and save the told or go and perform music! Ironically, she dances like a duck and her sister doesn't!" The quartet started doing duck calls.
"Alright, settle down class and stop being ducks," our e math declared. After we did ✨the greeting✨ (like our teacher liked to call it), he announced we had 1 failure in our class. Everyone was shocked and we whispered among ourselves about who it could be. My heart pounded as I whispered with Anika about who it could be, and prayed it wasn't us.
"Before we give back the paper, I would like to speak to Chloe outside," our math teacher announced. And that's when the cheers started again.

"Are you seriously insane?" I screamed across the classroom. "We shouldn't mock Chloe for failing E Math, we must help her. She must be feeling really small right now!"
"Yes!" The rest of 8-point-compass chorused and we looked at one another dumbly. How did we read one another's heads?
Nicole's POV
18/25. And I was one of the highest, but John was the highest. I think we all did well consider we had both an afternoon math test and afternoon literature test. Anyway, it wasn't a big deal. Our O Level Literature papers were good to be in the afternoons anyway. I'm glad we started our afternoon test training early.
*a Mr Wang-exclusive term
**Crystal, Ethan and Anika are the only members of 8 point compass Christina knows.
