Professors already gave us what will the things that we need to study and I'm nervous already of what's the outcome.

'Good thing I'm ready for this.'
Christian said while leaning on the wall.

'You can't just be ready in math.'
I told him

he did the rape face.
'I got a tutor. Heh.'

'That's not fair at all, I got no tutor.'

'Well, all I can say is good luck my friend'
Christian said as he chuckled.

They all are serious about this exam except for Christian I think,  and I didn't even study, thought that I can mark myself at the top.
I was planning to join christian and its tutor so that I may not fail a single test, well, I hope so. But I still need to ask permission, I might not have the money. So in this first exam, I don't have a tutor.

'Chris,  you know what I don't like about this school?'

'What? It's a great school!' 
'Come on! Look at it! An open air for lunch! Cool clean air. *inhales *exhales' he added.

'An exception for that, Its about when they give the pointers. They only give us like 7 days before the exam, are we like robots or something?'
I said in our language.

'Dude, chill. Remember that you're now in Grade 10'

Meanwhile in my mind :
Christian got a point though, but if they don't want us to fail a test then they should proably give us more time, they really expect something great or unbelievable from us. This is  college, not a school for superhumans.

But I decided not to tell it instead I replied him with:
'Oh. Yea. I keep on forgetting that I'm in Grade 10 now.'

Christian chuckled, pats me at the back
'You can do it.'

I said in reply
'Easy for you to say! You got a tutor!'

'Well, don't be like me then. Be a better man, oh! well, I'm going to my tutor. Good luck!'
He waved his hands at me and never looked back.

I got a long way to go.

2 days later, the last day of examination.

We formed a line outside the room, at silence. Others were still studying, some are so relaxed just standing there or they know that they're up.
And there's christian, doing a light jog infront of me.

'The hell are you doing?'
I said, confused.

'I'm getting all tensed up.'

With all the things he could have possibly done, he did the heavy exhaling thingy. Like *hooo hooo hooo, like he's out of air or something.

'How bout you xavi?'
christian said.

'Do you think that this face is ok?'
I said pointing at my face

He laughed but he keeps on jogging, and said 'No. Just, believe in yourself.'

Then it was the time that we let ourselves inside the room, everyone tried to comfort themselves on the armchair  or chair, rather, and try not to be nervous nor tensed about it.

We meditated for a minute, and there goes the exam! I was all comfortable then a so-called 'butterflies in my stomach' kicks in, thats a little bit you know.. Anyway it was annoying, either it was the 'butterflies in my stomach' or am going to take a squalid and hideous dump of all time, now thats what I'm afraid of,  I was grinning except that its a grin full of nervousness. You know how it feels, and you know how irritating it is if you already experienced this.

'Dude, you ok?' Matthew said while pressing his right cheek down on the table.

I slouch down 'Uh, yeah. Yeah, I'm cool.' gave him a thumbs up.

He nodded, smiled, and continued on answering his test. Luckily it stopped and I continued my test at ease, I encountered many problems especially on Math for crissakes I almost died.

I'm still not halfway in the last subject and there goes Christian,
I ended up whispering to myself
'Bruh, you serious?  I'm effin stuck on this 5th part! Come on!'

Then he walked away like its nothing, I'm just an average student, don't know about him if he was a honor student or sometimes I just really don't care. Then after an hour I finished the test and I nervously walked pass through the exit, I'm not really sure of my answers (none of us do, even you.)

As I walked out, I saw her for the second time. I tried to control myself to not to look at her or she'll caught me, as she walk by I follow her with my eyes and when she comes to the middle of my sight, she looked at me and smiled, I didn't got to react  quickly and I missed my chance, tsk.
She's up the stairs now.

'Hey.'
'What do you want chris?'
'Why are you looking at her? She good right? Yeah, like every boy wants her. Good luck with that. I have faith on you, Alvarez.'

I didn't say anything but kept staring on the wall while christian was in front.

'Come on then, lets go. You go home and I'll be at my tutor.'

As we go on our separate ways, I stopped him from getting 1 step farther from me by grabbing his left arm, and said;
'What's her name?'
'Erica, my friend. Erica'
'How'd you be so sure?'
'She's with me actually.'

WHAT THE HELL. They were together all along, they could have built a relationship already! I felt a bit down...
'NO! Its not what you think it is! I know her because she's there with me at the center. With the same tutor.'

I found it weird, my coleauges with a tutor..
But if I want to get closer to erica then I should be with christian.

And I said, 'Can I go with you? Just to check the center, because I think I'll be needing one.'

'Is that you're excuse?'
I was caught.
'Very well' he said as he turned his back on me and I started to follow him by his side.
'Christian, mind if I ask questions after we reach the center?'
'Let me guess, Erica again? Yeah. Ok.'
'I know ALOT about her' He added. *wink wink
'Please don't wink at me. Ever. I feel awkward.'
We marched till we reached the center, It wasn't THAT hard. Anyway, the center has only 2 floors on it. It was good.
