•••

It had been a few weeks since school had started. It seemed like Helena High School really wanted the senior students to fail whatever level of exam they were taking, it was brutal.

(I don't mean Seniors like the last year of high school, we call Seniors basically anyone who does exams, so for us it's the last three years of high schools are seniors lol)

It was extremely brutal for Jess, she thought it was a great idea to take all Highers this year, meanwhile many people were taking National 5's as well as Highers, Jess' parents wanted her to be an overachiever and take 5 Highers.

(I cba trying to explain Scottish exams, just have a look, but basically Highers is just an exam we take and they're hard)

Would she fail them?

Absolutely.

Jess wasn't as smart as people thought, but the fact she was quiet and taking all Highers, people loved to stereotype the fact she was clever. So currently, Jess was trying to do four pieces of homework that were all due for tomorrow.

It was 7:00 at night, although it didn't look it, the nights were still bright so it still looked like it was the afternoon. After finally finishing a Biology poster, Jess sat back on her desk chair, taking a breather. The stress on her mind was overwhelming, she needed a break.

She needed to call the one person who would probably calm her down.

"Hello?"

"Hey Alicia." Jess quietly said.

"Oh my god! Jess! How are you?"

Jess was shocked at Alicia's reaction, she was never normally like this, but maybe she was actually happy in America. "Not great honestly, Helena wants to kill me." Jess sighed.

"Ugh, I know. They're being so brutal with the work, although they haven't given me loads of homework, they don't think I'm able to handle it after my aunt died."

"Your aunt died?!" Jess said a bit louder, unusual for her but she was so shocked.

"Did I not tell you? She shot a bullet and it killed her instead, but I'm okay."

"Oh god, that's awful." Jess shook her head, although Alicia wouldn't be able to see. Jess heard an unrecognisable voice start to speak.

"Well it didn't exactly happen like that."
"Shut up Stiles, she doesn't know about that stuff!"

(Sorry I had to add Stiles for a hot second there whoops)

Jess furrowed her brows in confusion. "Who's Stiles?" Stiles. What an unusual name, plus Alicia hasn't mentioned a 'Stiles' beforehand.
