I write the last sentence in the English Essay Exam paper and give a sigh of relief . A week after the auditions , exams strike again . I don't study as much as last year , being unsure of the reason . Is it because I feel confident that I will get an A for every subject like last year ? Or is it because theres no Milativation ? Well , 'Milativation' is motivation from Mila . She was the one who formed this word . Anyway , I'm really not sure about the reason .

Mila , can you just get out of my life ?

Focus , Steph , focus ! This is the exams ! Come on , check your work like crazyyy !

I listen to my thoughts and check .

"One minute left !" Mr Ferdenaz announces while staring at the clock .

I check the last paragraph . I'm sure I don't have one . I have the opportunity to get full marks , or at least , highest .

Oh no ! How can you ever write 'hypothermia' as 'hyperthemia' ?

"Times up ! Put your pens down , or else you'll get zero !" Mr Ferdenaz beams .

Shoooot !

"Miss Cooper , your paper please ?" he asks and tries to snatch my paper . I clutch to my paper , not abiding by his command , but surrender in defeat at last . I cover my face with my hands while thinking of that particular mistake .

Ugh . Whatever .

I walk out of the examination hall and search for Allie . Shes having Math Exam today . We have different exam subjects because of our initials . Sometimes , we even tell each other the questions .

Best friends ~

"Allie !" I call out when I see her at her locker . She stares at me for a moment , and runs along the hallway . I feel shocked . Whats with her ? I ask myself . I chase her . I sprint as fast as I can . I know that she must be upset about the exam paper because she hates Math more than anything .

"Allie ! Whats the matter ?" I ask , finally manage to catch up with her . I grab her arm to prevent her from escaping . She swiftly let go .

"Allie -"

"Shut up ," she says in a firm voice . A tear escapes from her eye , racing down her face via her cheek .

"Allie , whats wrong ? I can -"

"No ! You don't understand , and you will never understand ! You're smart but I'm not ! Of course you won't understand the sentence 'Math is hard' ! In your eyes , Math is the most awesome subject on Earth , but I don't !" she hisses in sobs . While lying against the wall , she hugs both of her knees closer to her body .

A feeling of sympathy strikes me . Just a few months ago , she told me that she got a big 'F' mark at her Algebra test paper and complained that she slept for only one to two hours only just to study for it . I still remember myself saying 'You must study smart , not study hard' to her and she did not talk to me for days . Also , actually , before the test , she had a very big interest in Math but her interest level decreased drastically since the nightmare of failing .

"You never get any grade below 'A' , so how can you understand my situation ?!" she cries in sobs and takes the opportunity to escape from my grip .

Oh my , my ! From Mila to family to Clarice to Jake and to Allie ! What next ?
