Pass Or Not To Pass-The Exam Day

^^All Ensigns to at hall at 9 Am^^

The telecom rings out as everyone eats their breakfast and chatting away, ''You seem very quiet after Jake talked to you last night'' Laura says watching Mazzra play with her breakfast, ''I'm ok just something he said really. Nothing serious'' Mazzra replies while spooning some food. ''To me, I think it is serious'' Laura replies concerned about why her best friend isn't in her normal joyful mood. ''Alright'' Mazzra says putting her spoon down and face Laura, ''It's just what Jake said about the Admiral Kronn that he doesn't take any minor mistake easily and that if your sacked your never to be seen again.'' Mazzra says and soon hears Laura laugh, ''I reacted that way too but Jake didn't take it very lightly'' Mazzra then says seeing Laura cover her mouth to smother her laughter. ''I'm sure it's just to get you scared of the Admiral because he is in top man of the ship'' Laura reassures, ''precedes I am stationed to the Adjucticator too'' Laura then says and taps Mazzra hand. ''That's great!'' Mazzra shouts out making all the other ensigns stop and look their way, quietening down Mazzra leans over the table to whisper to Laura ''another thing Jake said is that he is always in contact with Lord Vader'' Mazzra says and sees Laura give no reaction to what she heard.

***Mazzra POV***

Walking to the exam hall my heart begins to pound in my chest, overthinking what Jake said to me. 'Maybe if I fail I will stay here and get stationed to a more welcoming Star destroyer' I say to myself feeling my gut doing summersaults 'but then Laura will go and be on her own I will have nobody and most likely be called a disgrace' My inner self butts in. Looking around I see Laura at far bad and I see the last seat is for me with the other I have hardly met. 'Nice and spaced out' I say to myself as sudden footsteps appear.

''I wish you luck for your finale exam but remember if you fail there is no worry you will train again and do it again but I don't want to that I want you all to succeed and do me proud.'' Mrs. Kurz booms out so everyone can hear. ''I guess that's a good thing?' I say to myself feeling myself relax more from hearing that but the atmosphere of pressure lingers in the air like a stuffy hot night where you cannot get to sleep.

As I tap my finger on the table and the tablet in hand already to go Mrs. Kurz looks at the time any second now it's time to start.

''Good luck your time starts... Now'' Mrs. Kurz says and we all start clicking onto the first part of the test. 'I can do this' I say to myself as I read the first question.

**Time Skip**

The exam was done hours ago and by end of tonight or tomorrow, I should hear how I've done.

Sitting in my room I read the email my mother has sent back,

Hello, my darling,

Sorry for not doing a video call it is very noisy here got some house decoration going on, not on purpose! More like one of your father's accidents! I would love to explain over a call one day whenever you're free.

It is the weekend here I don't what it is for you knowing then working every day for slavery. When is your final exam? I do hope you do well but your father wants you to come home.

Love and miss you

Talk to you later

Love mum XXX

...

Reading the email I feel happy to hear my father has been up to one of his tricks again, but to hear that he wants me to come back pulls on the heartstrings. Typing back an email I reply in all enthusiasm and tell them I had my exam and waiting for the results.

It wasn't soon till her com-link burst into action,

^^Miss Kirman to Mrs.Kurz office^^

'Well here goes' I say to myself as I leave my room and head to the office. Walking past proud and excited ensigns who have passed made my stomach turn like it was doing cartwheels, entering the lift and pressing the button to go up I quickly watch the other hugging each other in their achievements before the doors close. It didn't take long till the lift stops and opens up to another packed corridor 'Don't say I'm the last one' I say to myself as I hear them say good luck to me as I go past them. A scent brushes past me, a smell I oh so only remember, the smell of stone-baked pizzas being cooked for the celebrations.

I soon find myself standing outside the door of Mrs.Kurz office, taking a deep breath through my nose and exhale through my mouth I press the button to let Mr.s Kurz know I have arrived, the door automatically open and shows a Mr.s Kurz sitting and holding the brown envelope of either joy or doom.

''Come sit down Miss Kirman'' Mrs. Kurz says while showing the vacant seat, as I sit down I sense the tension in the air as I watch her open the envelope. 'I thought I open it myself?' I question myself as Mrs.Kurz drags the white paper that was inside and reads it. What felt like seconds felt like an eternity as I watch her eyes scan the paper which I am sure she scanned it five times or more. I clench my hands holding onto the fabric of my trousers waiting for the result not moving my eyes away from Mrs.Kurz.

''Congratulations Miss Kirman you passed'' Mr.s Kurz says and rises from her seat and heads towards me with the biggest smile on her face, quickly getting up I move my hand ready for a handshake to instead get a hug. ''No need to be formal this is a celebration only one failure I am proud and I knew you would pass you haven't failed me yet'' Mrs. Kurz says ''yet?'' I reply shocked with the sudden close contact, ''My dear why do you think I signed you to work on The Adjudicator? Because I know you are the best and won't fail Mr.Kronn'' she replies making me gulp from hearing everything about the ship and its Admiral. ''Thank you'' I reply shakily and Mrs. Kurz leads me through the corridors and everyone cheers knowing another ensign a passed. ''It's time to celebrate all to the food hall'' Mrs. Kurz booms and everyone does exactly as she says.

At the food hall, I see Laura hugging other ensigns with a pizza slice in one hand and a drink in the other, approaching her she screams and hugs me, ''we are together and be working together I cannot believe it!!'' she shouts making me feel like I just been deafened, ''Yes what fun we will have'' I reply as cheerfully as I can while the thoughts of what is ahead in the next coming days.

***No POV***

As the music gets louder and the drinks keep flowing everyone is having a great time, what most likely be their ever big party unless the Empire triumphs and gets rid of the Rebellion fully.
