Konoha High School

Exam Day

Today is my birthday guys and I'm so happy so here's to another chapter!!

Sakura's POV

I was currently doing my test but I feel like I haven't studied good at all. I was distracted. Distracted by the Uchiha right next to me doing his test. I just know he'll pass.

I've maybe been spending too much time with him. I don't even feel like I could pass this and then there's Tenten to talk about. She's been distant lately. But right now I should focus.

The test is literally a packet.

Shikamaru's POV

What a drag. This test is so troublesome. I honestly don't feel like doing it. I would sleep if I could. But if I sleep, then I'll fail, and if I'll fail, Temari will find out, and if Temari finds out, I'll get in trouble. Real trouble.

I guess I have no choice but to do this exam. Even though, I haven't studied at all. Wish me luck. Not for the test but for Temari's test.

Hinata's POV

I would say I'm all set for this test, Naruto-kun and I have studied every day since last week. We're a power team and a power couple. I'm glad to have Naruto-kun in my life. I just know he'll do great.

But I should really be focusing on the test now. I trust that Naruto will pass this test.

Because he's a miracle!!

Ino's POV

Glad to say I should be all set for this baby. I also don't feel like I'll do better than I usually do. I think Kakashi Sensei told us that they're scoring it like S.A.T.s, so that means that the highest score would be 2,400.

I'll totally pass this test.

Sasuke's POV

This exam couldn't get any easier for me. Who wants to bet with me? Let's bet. I can bet that I would be the top score when I'm done with this test. I'm not going to brag though.

I'm actually waiting till after this exam to ask Sakura out. We've been hanging out a lot and I'm starting to like her more. She's different from all girls and I like that.

***

Temari's POV

This exam is kinda hard. Shika should've pushed me more. Even though, I do think that I would be able to pass as average at least. Now you may think I'm being overprotective here because I keep glancing at Shika.

But if you knew him, you would too. I'm just checking if he's actually doing the exam. I'm surprised he hasn't been expelled yet. Actually nevermind, I forgot that he knows the hokage.

He better pass this exam though.

Naruto's POV

I will not cheat from Hina-chan. Even though it's tempting. That would be like dissing her right now because she has helped me study so much. We've studied together for a long time and I don't want that to go to waste.

But I'm nervous. I never pass any tests let alone an exam. It hurts but I just have to think and calm down. I can do this. Just take a deep breath and just answer the questions calmly.

***

Neji's POV

This exam could be easier but it's not exactly hard either. I'm just wondering how Tenten is doing, she keeps sighing over there like she's bothered. She's also been agitated lately. Probably because of the exam.

I should do something for her after this to relieve her from her stress. Oh poor poor girl. I normally don't pity people but she looks bad. I mean, she just looks tired. I'm definitely going to do something for her.

***

Sai's POV

I'm almost done with my exam. Maybe, I should recheck these 7 papers. Kakashi Sensei did not make this exam easy. But I'm so bored now and I don't want to send it in early. People will look at me weird. Not that they already aren't but not for this..

***

Tenten's POV

I've been sighing over the past hour. I don't feel like doing this exam either. I think Neji has noticed my sighing because he started staring at me a while ago. I've studied so hard with Neji but I don't know the answers to these questions.

I'm just not feeling it. I feel so tired and sleepy. Maybe if I just relaxed more and less tensed, I can do this. I just have to forget about everything. Forget about everything I've studied. Just relax and then I'll be able to do this.

It's now lunchtime. Everyone is worried about their test except for me, Sasuke and Neji. I'm not worried because I think I did good enough. The other two are just arrogant. I would love to see them fail one day.

"So guys, we should do something in celebration if we all pass today dattebayo." Naruto says.

I was about to decline when Neji pulled me away from the table. Oh can this day get any worse?

"What Neji?" I ask yanking my hands from his grip.

" I was just going to say that you shouldn't decline. I saw how tired and agitated you looked when you were taking the exams and I think you should let yourself calm down. " he said to me.

I know he was right but I was definitely not in the mood.

"I guess it couldn't hurt. I'll go." I said as I put a small smile on my face.

He smiled back at me. Gosh, I almost melted. Why did he have to be so cute? Neji grabbed my hand and brought me back to the lunch table.

Even though, we weren't together, i felt as if this was more than a crush. More than just a plain old crush.

I sat back down at the table and I was already more relaxed.

"Hey so if we all do get good grades, where are we all planning to go?" I asked with my usually cheery self.

I guess everyone noticed that I wasn't feeling myself before because they all smiled at me, even Sasuke and Neji which kinda creeped me out.

"U-umm, maybe we should g-go to a arcade. We've never went there together."  Hinata suggested.

It was actually a good suggestion.

"Let's do it then!!" Sakura says.
