Rolling on his bed and flipping his hand here and there in the hopes of turning off the alarm clock that kept ringing as if it was a destined day to make him feel the brute force of its screaming was all he could do as he tried but fail with his body slamming the wooden floor next with an heavy thud noise that sent the drowsiness packing from his eyes before he could think about checking what the time was.

Making it out of bed sluggishly he decided to use the shower, there he bath and brushed his teeth before putting on a casual dress consisting of a black hoodie with red stripes and a jean trouser with a red sneaker.

He had instantly went to the kitchen to fetch his frozen meal in the refrigerator and microwaved it before dishing it out into two various take away packs as he had decided to give one to his newly found friend and one for himself after the exam was done.

NATE HENDERSON was his name age 15, tall and slender, black hair and red eyes, athletic body or rather figure, hate to associate with crowd and sometimes have a hard time making friends or speaking with someone he isn't acquaintance with.

Favourite colour white and red, favourite meal non, allergic to ginger and loves apple. He talks less and study in the hopes of becoming at least somebody important, someone his late family would be proud of.

Dashing out the door came with a heavy shut bidding him farewell, he walked for minutes until he finally stopped by the convenient store not so far from his apartment in other to get a thing or two to suit the meal later on, smiling at what he had got he hope the little girl would like it as he felt happy about something or perhaps since today was his final year exam which is regarding history and civil war it was going to be a piece of cake as he had studied well for this day.

Covering his head once more with his hoodie he hasten his movement as he would be late if he dwindled any longer.

Approaching the nearby bridge located not far from the city college made him even happier as he hasten his feet as if to surprise whoever it was.

'Booa!!!'

A voice and a figure dashed out of nowhere to startle him, it was a girl who had burst into laughter from NATE silly reaction to her silly prank, she was tall and looked two years younger than NATE, she had a good figure and had tattered clothes.

'C'mon now ECHO, don't go around scaring me like that'

He said as he gave a sigh of relief, he soon stare at the girl who was looking like she had been beaten up severely with bruise and tattered clothes, her dazzling blonde hair made him forget about her bruises.

'Am so sorry, i just couldn't help seeing how relax you were from afar so i just wanted to spook you a little'

'Yea, right'

NATE said with a smile while playing with her blonde hair

'I brought some food for you, i will be back in the afternoon so make sure you don't do anything silly okay'

'Yea, i see you actually came out, it's quite rare, and make sure you do well too alright?'

ECHO gave a big smile knowing fully well what today was, both waved each other goodbyes and kept staring at each other until NATE finally went into the COLLEGE compound

**************
Few minutes went by with everyone sitting at each respective position with papers being handed out to them, it was both the examination paper and an extra question papers regarding what each student would do after examination.

'There is an extra paper attached to your examination paper, please kindly fill in the necessary details before attending to the examination questions'

The observer who was an elderly man of age 60-65 had said with his aged voice, NATE who had received his paper was perplexed by the questions on the extra attached sheet as he took no time in filling it out before destroying the life out of the main exam questions as he was the first person to tender his papers.
