Chapter 22: A Good Company

The clock has been ticking, and I looked at my test paper once again since I had already finished answering it a couple of minutes ago. I looked around the room as I saw some students scratching their heads. Others were tapping their pens in nervousness. I hesitated to submit because I know it would create pressure for them when they see one, so I waited.

My thoughts wandered back to the deal I had with Amanda a week ago. Either which choice she made, it's still a win-win for me. After all, I need brains like Amanda. It's not that I'm confident with my skills and all. It's just that you always gotta have plan B whenever you're in a pinch. She has the experience, and her company so far manufactures planes for only a few, including mine. So helping her company grow with the help of my connections, she wouldn't hesitate to jump on my offer. Now that reminds me of Rose. I wonder how was she doing after all the nagging Amanda made. She even tutored her!

Mom asked why I opened up a seat for her on the board of directors, and I told her she'd know soon enough. I was quickly dismissed on my thoughts when I heard Mr Hoffman informing everyone to finish the exam. He looked in my direction, and he knew I was already finished, so he asked for my papers. I stood up from my seat and handed him my papers, and he told me I could get out. Finally, freedom! It didn't take long; the last bell for the day was heard, students swarmed the empty hallways as I walked towards my locker.

Some students talked about the difficulty of the exam that was given to them, and some were gloomy because they knew they didn't study well enough, while others just brushed it off and just do better on the next exam. As I got to my locker, I heard a student nearby talking about a party that's going to be held later tonight. They probably gonna let off some steam after all those hellish exams. As soon as I finished getting ready, I heard my name was called and quickly turned to the owner of the voice.

"How did it go?" I asked Rose with a small smile. She gave me a big thumbs up as she smiled widely. "I guess it went well on your part?" she nodded her head.

"Well, after all those hellish teachings she has done, everything was stuck in my head," she said with a shudder. I wonder what has she done to have Rose make that look. "Anyway, how about we grab something to eat? It's Friday, after all. Let's chill somewhere," she said, jumping up and down like a little kid. I chuckled at her antics and agreed. Rose immediately texted the other girls to meet up at the parking lot, so we could all go there together.

Bazzi's Beautiful played on my speaker as we waited inside my car. I decided to sing along.

Hey beautiful, beautiful beautiful beautiful angel
Love your imperfections every angle
Tomorrow comes and goes before you know
So I just want to let you know

The way that Gucci look at you amazing
But nothing can compare to when your naked
Now a backwood and some hena got you faded
Saying you don't want for me, I need to face it

Started when we younger
Swear to God that I love her
Sorry that your mom found
I guess we just really have the thunder
Ain't nobody else said I'll be under
Beautiful beautiful life right now
Beautiful beautiful night right now
Oh ohhh

Then I saw Rose raised her phone with her front come on us. I didn't bother to look since I know she could get us a good angle. She lypsinc some of the lyrics with my voice in the background.

Hey beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful angel
Love your imperfections every angle
Tomorrow comes and goes before you know
So I just want to let you know

The way that dress fall off you is amazing
Love a miracle, a beautiful creation
Baby come a little closer let me taste it
You came a little closer now your shaking
