Harry is in his final year at secondary school, in the middle of taking his exams. He's been stressing all through them.

He doesn't know how he's got through them. He's hardly slept, either being up half the night, revising, or just worrying. He's lost his appetite too.

He woke up on a Friday morning, having only slept a couple of hours, worrying about todays maths exam. Maths was his worst subject. He just couldn't get his head around fractions, algebra and everything else. This is the most stressed out that he's felt.

-----

At school, it was lunchtime before the maths exam. Harry was sat in the canteen with his only friend, Louis.

"Don't worry Haz, just try your best!" Louis said to a pale looking Harry.

"I'm gonna fail!" He replied, picking at his burger that he really couldn't eat.

"Be positive. Read the questions at least twice, think it over, take your time. Just do your best, yeah?"

" What's the point of algebra anyway? " Harry said, making Louis chuckle.

"No point at all!"

The bell rang, signalling the end of lunch break. Louis and Harry walked to the exam hall together, sitting next to each other.

"Good luck Haz!" Louis smiled.

" Yeah! Good luck Lou! "

"You have two hours, you may turn your papers over and begin." The teacher said, and the sound of paper shuffling echoed around the hall.

Louis looked over to Harry and saw him pick up his pen and start writing, making Louis feel better, he looked back at his own paper.

Harry wrote his name at the top of the paper and started scanning the questions.

The first few questions were easy, and Harry sailed through them, he actually smiled, thinking this exam wasn't going to be as bad as he thought.

But....as he turned the page he was hit by a mountain of algebra questions. His smile dropped, as did his heart. He looked over at Louis, who was busy writing.

He did what Louis told him to. He read the questions over and over, he thought hard, but it was no good. The numbers were jumping over the page, swirling around and around, then disappearing like they were going down a plug hole. The swirling was making him feel dizzy and sick.

He was feeling hot and sweaty.

His pen fell from his sweaty hand to the floor, Louis looked over at him.

He saw Harry shaking and pulling at his hair. He raised his hand to get the attention of a teacher.

A teacher walked over, seeing Harry, she walked quickly to him.

"Harry. Are you ok?" She whispered. Harry's eyes were closed. He was desperately fighting the horrible dizziness and sick feeling. "Harry, come outside a minute." She said as she tried to get him to stand.

Harry swayed on his feet and had to grab hold of the teacher. Louis looked at him, concern deep in his face. Harry was on the verge of a panic attack as they walked slowly towards the doors.

He virtually fell through the doors. The teacher helped him to sit on a nearby bench and crouched in front of him.

"Harry. Can you tell me what's wrong?" She asked.

Harry couldn't hear her. The only thing could could think about were numbers spinning around in front of his eyes. He felt so terrible, he was crying and rubbing his forehead.

The spinning got too much for him and his body gave out on him. He slumped to the side, unconscious. The teacher panicked and got her phone out calling for help.

Two other teachers came and helped get Harry to the medical room, where he was laid on a bed. He looked awful...pale, sweaty, shaking, tears streaked down his cheek.

When he woke up ten minutes later he immediately threw up over himself, making him more panicky, if that was possible.

"It's ok Harry don't worry about it." The nurse reassured him. He had a banging headache now, but at least he wasn't seeing the swirling numbers anymore.

He'd been given some painkillers for his head.

The exam had finished and Louis had immediately came to find him. He'd been so worried, that when he came into the room, he hugged Harry tightly.

"Are you ok Harry? I've been so worried about you!"

Harry was a bit teary, and felt so tired. He just wanted to go home and sleep.

Louis stayed with Harry until his Mum came to collect him. It was the end of the school day anyway.

Harry's Mum gave Louis a lift home before taking Harry home to bed.


Oh god! I feel like this one wasn't any good :(
