The first day back to school, every class is pretty much exam prep. Every other year I spend Christmas vacation studying for exams, this year I barely studied at all. I'm so far behind. By the end of the day, I'm exhausted. "Want to hang out tonight," Jordan asks. I want to but honestly, I need to study and I'm way too tired to do anything else. "Not tonight I have to study and sleep." "Well if you ever want a study buddy I wouldn't mind. Plus, while you were busy thinking about me, I was studying most of the time when I was in Halifax." He jokes. When he pulls up in front of the house, I see Lex and Jake in Jake's car. I wonder what happened to her not kissing people at the house rule. I knock on the window as I walk past the door to warn them, they need to be careful.
No one else is home besides me and Lex. Moms job turned for part-time to full-time pretty quickly. Lex offers to cook supper while I study. Mom and Dad still aren't home when supper's done so, me and Lex eat in the kitchen. "How's Jake" I half tease. "Fine." She chuckles. "Speaking of boyfriends Dani told me what she did for you and Jordan after your congratulations dinner. You're so lucky your friends with your boyfriend's sister." We talk more about Jake and Jordan while we finish eating after I help her with the dishes and then go straight to bed before 10.
The week goes by way to fast. I'm so worried about my exams. If I fail even one class or my average goes below 70, I could lose my spot in Dalhousie's pre-med program or even worse lose my spot at Dalhousie and I haven't applied for any other college. I feel bad for Jordan I haven't talked to him much since we went back to school. It's not him I just really have to focus on exams right now. My life is depending on my grades.
I study for 18 hours a day Saturday and Sunday. By the time Monday comes around I'm drained. Me, Lex and Jordan all have exams so we all drive alone. My first exam is music with Lacy. After the exam I waiting in my car for Lacy to finish. I drove her since we both had an exam at the same time. While I'm waiting, I see Alexis and Ben talking by his car this is the first time I have seen either of them since I yelled at them. It looks like they are fighting but I'm not close enough to hear them. I can't wait to tell Lex about this I'm sure she'll be happy to know that they suck as a couple. Serves them right for being such horrible people.
Just as I'm about to move closer so I can hear them Lacy comes out. Awful timing. "An exam in music doesn't even make sense, I'm not going to have to read music ever again, I only took it as a filler class," Lacy says angrily. "Oh, you aced it and you know it," I say trying to make her feel better, plus it was an easy exam. She laughs. As I drive her home, she talks about her and Brad going away with his parents this weekend. I glad she has something to take her mind off her dad, I just wish she was staying in town so we could hang out. I miss her.
When I get home, Lex is sitting on the couch looking annoyed. I know she just had an exam with Alexis and Ben. "You okay?" I ask as I sit down. "No, Ben is being stupid, like always. I guess I was to blinded by love before to notice." "What happened," I ask, I'm not sure I want to know. "He keeps texting me saying he loves me and misses me, so I showed Alexis, trying to be a good friend. Even though she was never a good friend to me, and guess what happened she got mad at me and started yelling at me! I didn't even text him back but I'm the bad one!" I can tell she's really upset, so I tell her what I saw today. We watch TV until mom gets home. Lex, tells her what happened and I go to my room to study for my English exam tomorrow. I fall asleep with my English textbook.
I wake up at 5:00 thank god I woke up an hour early. I didn't eat supper last night. I take a shower and get dress quickly and head down stairs for breakfast. To my surprise dad is home, awake, and in the kitchen when I get there. Me and him talk for a bit while I get something to eat. He got called into emergency surgery last night and didn't get home until 4:30, that's why he is still up. He offers to drive me and Lex to school we both accept.
