“You have ten minutes,” Anna told me as I kept scribbling away at my test paper.
This was my final test and if I passed I graduated. I would be able to go to university or get a semi-decent job. The excitement bubbled within me as I fixed up some messy words and shaded in some of the bubbles better.
Carolyn and I had studied for the past two days seeing as she was at the same spot as me. She was doing her test in the next room and I heard both old, monotone voices at the same time.
“Time’s up,” I dropped my pencil and threw my hands in the air to indicate I wasn’t cheating.
Anna took my test paper and walked out. I leant back into the chair and let out a sigh. This was it. This was the moment I was going to possibly remember for the rest of my life. It was pass or fail. Win or lose. Do or die. I would know if I graduated or had to go back and study even harder. I got my phone out of my pocket and texted Carolyn.
To Creepy Chick- how do u think u did?
From Creepy Chick- smashed it! U?
To Creepy Chick- killed it! If I fail I will kill myself
From Creepy Chick- please don’t! The group needs you alive. So does Luke but who gives a shit about him?
To Creepy Chick- that’s my babe in case you’ve forgotten!
From Creepy Chick- and my care factor is…oh look! 0
To Creepy Chick- sometimes I wonder why we’re friends
From Creepy Chick- because I help you study and you love me
To Creepy Chick- -_-
Anna suddenly burst into the room and stared at me, face blank of emotion. Oh no. What does this mean? Did I fail? Internal panic attack!
“How’d I do?” I managed to ask.
She handed me the paper, upside down of course. Thanks for delaying my life by two seconds Anna. Top job you old hag. I turned the paper over and gasped.
A
A. I got an A. I passed. I graduated. I win. I got out of my chair and flung my arms around her.
“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!” I shouted to her.
“Let me go,” she grumbled.
“I passed! I passed bitches!” I screamed and ran out with my paper still in my hands.
I saw Carolyn with the same Cheshire cat grin on her face, “what’d you get?” she asked.
“A,” I smiled proudly, showing off my paper.
“A,” she squealed then we hugged each other as we jumped around.
“We passed! We passed!” we chanted.
“You can leave now,” John told us.
“Screw you, you old hag!” Carolyn screamed then we ran out together.
“This is the part in the Fanfiction where we kiss and run off into the sunset,” I told her.
“Fuck off,” she scoffed and smacked my arm.
“Celebratory shakes?” I asked.
“To McDonalds!” she cheered, linking her arm with mine as we matched down the street.
“I need one for my brother. Tonight is very important,” I told her.
“Promise to keep a secrete?” she nod and gestured for me to continue. “We’re running away,” and that’s when Carolyn Green, one of my best friends, choked on the air she was inhaling at the point in time.
“Excuse me?”
“Markus and I are running away,” I shrugged.
“Where to?”
“Probably Sam’s. If he houses us that is”
“Does he know about this?”
“I’m think of it as a surprise birthday present”
“What? Having to take care of the girl he used to date and her little brother?”
“We’re friends. And besides…Markus and Katie have a thing”
“Meh,” she shrugged.
“Have you told Luke of your plans?”
“No. Joy or dad might have overheard”
“When did you plan this?”
“The night my life was destroyed for a second time in seventeen short years”
“That long?”
“Markus and I agreed on it that night. We needed a plan and that seemed like the only rational option”
“You mean rash option”
“My happiness is on the line and maybe my wellbeing”
“Lacy”
“Please don’t use that tone on me. I’m getting pretty sick of everyone talking to me like that”
“It’s not a good idea. What if Sam says no? Or sells you out?”
“Then we’ll find somewhere else. I have many contacts Carolyn”
