My Boyfriend's Best Friend

Chapter 9

I was tapping my fingers on the table impatiently,

We had the tests yesterday and today, we will find out the results.

My heart is beating fast on my chest as I wait for the teacher to call my name.

"Alexis Reed."

I got up from my chair as she hands out all six tests to me.

Mr. Murphy has this weird look on me, I'm not so sure if he is trying to tell me something--

That I failed--

I held the papers close to my chest, hoping I don't fail,

I peeked through one eye, I saw a zero.

Oh god, it could be 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40.. or 0!

I mustered the courage to take a peek on all my tests and they all got a zero on the last digit.

I was scared now, I know myself the quizzes weren't easy..

What if I got zeroes in all tests?

No, I couldn't do it!

I couldn't see it!

"Now class, we have a classmate here that got 100 on all six tests," Mr. Murphy clapped.

Oh great, who is it this time?

Ellen?

Rose?

Bryan?

Come on, get it over with and flaunt your favorite students!--

"Alexis!"

My classmates all turned to look at me suspiciously.

Okay, I don't really have the brightest brain in the crop, but that's only because our batch is full of nerds.

Nerds outnumber the jocks and cheerleaders.

They all slowly clapped and I was stunned, of course.

Was that really my name?

I finally took a look on my tests, with BOTH eyes and he is right.

I perfected all tests!

I am so happy!

"Yipeee!" I shouted.

"Now Alexis, I know you're happy, but settle down I still have a lesson to discuss." Mr. Murphy said.

"Sorry.." I mumbled shyly.

Mr. Murphy half-smiled then continued on teaching.

But all I hear right now are praises in my mind.

I wasn't even listening because I'm just so glad.

I've got to thank Darren. :)

Classes were dismissed and I was skipping happily towards Eve's classroom.

Eve and Danny are classmates, I think Darren and Eve are classmates on the today's last class though..

Eve came out with Danny and Darren, sharing glares with Darren.

"They are so not gay!" Eve complained.

"Is too."

"What's gay?" I asked sheepishly.

"Darren said One Direction's gay!" Eve pouted.

I glowered at him saying,

"Oh no, you didn't!"

"Not you too! They make out, which makes them gay, right?" Darren scowled.
