Chapter 1 - Results

Steve, a teenager at 14, woke up one day, and just realized that that day'll be the day his results would come rushing to him. He hid his fears and worries somewhere safe. His mind, of course. If he could overwork himself to do something beyond his expectations, for example, getting an A after a few C's in a tough subject for one of the monthly examinations, he might as well just brush those unwanted emotions aside and move on. As his brother Edward said before, there's no point thinking too much. Just wait for it to happen, and we'll think from there.

1.05 in the afternoon, class starts. Fortunately, it wasn't the start of the rush of the results. It was only time to return the borrowed text books that were given to each one of the students in the school. That went good. When it was time to unveil the marks, the trouble starts. It was the end of the world for some of his classmates. He knew he didn't do well for the exam. Though he did his very best, he just wasn't confident. When the first B came up, he lost part of his confidence to get straight A's, but still hoping to do well in others. When the second B came up, he felt dead and just gave up hoping.

One of his classmates was said to be cheating during the examination. He heard the news from some of his friends, who heard the news from their friends. He never thought cheating during finals is possible, but after all, these are just speculations.

6.40 in the evening, it was the end of classes for today.
