Chapter 17: Prelim Exams Week

Kim's POV

Today is the prelim exams week.

When I woke up, I ate breakfast, took a bath, and get ready to go to school. I can't believe that Ethan and I are dating. I can't process it because it all happened so fast, but I'm so happy. We also got so close immediately, which is great.

I am now on my way to school.

When I am near the school gate, I saw Ethan. Is he waiting for me?

"Good morning,"

"Good morning,"

"Are you waiting for me?"

"Yes"

"Don't you have a practice today?"

"No. Maybe after prelim exams are over,"

"Ok"

"Let's go? I will accompany you to your classroom,"

"Ok"

Ethan and I are walking when some students are staring and gossip about us. And I got shy and look at the ground.

"What's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing. I'm just uncomfortable about them staring and gossiping about us,"

"Don't be and don't listen to them. Only the two of us knows what's going on between us,"

"Ok"

I felt at ease when Ethan said that, so I lift my head and continue walking.

Ella's POV

Today is the start of the prelim exams.

When I went out of the gate, I was happy when I saw Aden.

"Good morning,"

"Good morning. Let's go?"

"Uhum. Are you ready for the exam later?"

"Yup. Your reviewer helped me,"

"You better have a high score this time,"

"I promise to have a high score this time and probably make it to the list,"

"You better be,"

Aden and I went to school while holding hands.

When we arrive at school, some students are looking at us, and the girls gossiped.

"This happens every day, and I'm used to it,"

"You can't blame them because you're popular with guys. Most of the girls are jealous of you,"

"I know, but I don't like them because they only like me because of my appearance. You're the one I love because you know me well,"

"I know, and I love you too,"

When we are near the classroom, I saw Kim with someone ahead of us.

"Is that Ethan with Kim? Are they dating? I'm waiting for this time to come. Aren't they so good together? I'm such a good matchmaker,"

"Oh, you. Did you planned it?"

"Oh, you got me. You're right. As expected of you, Aden,"

"It's written all over your face,"

Aden hit my head with his hand.

"Ouch!"

I called Kim, and I was right. The guy is Ethan.

"What do we have here? Explain this to me?"

"We are dating," Ethan said.

"Really? OMG! I was right, Aden. You two look so good together. Take care of Kim, Ethan, and don't make her cry or something. Ok?"

"I know,"

"And what do we have here also? Holding hands?" Kim said.

"We're official,"

"What? Tell me!"

"Ok. Let's go inside, and I will tell you,"

"I will be going now. See you later, Kim,"

Ethan left, and we went inside.

"So tell me what happened to you and Aden,"

"Ok"

I told Kim what happened with Aden and me that weekend.

"Wow. I knew you would get back the old Aden,"

"Yup. Now tell me about you and Ethan,"

Kim told me about her and Ethan.

"Oh? Ethan said that out of the blue? That's brave of him to say that"

"Yup. I was shocked, but I said yes. Why would I refuse?"

"You are so good together,"

"Same to you and Aden,"

"Good morning, class. Let us start the prelim exam. No cheating, ok?"

"I will return to my desk now. Good luck"

"Good luck too,"

I looked at Aden, and he also looked at me. I sign a fighting gesture, and he also did the same.

Narrator's POV

One week had passed, and the prelim exams are over.

Today, they will know their result and rankings for the prelims.

When the four of them arrived at school, they all went to the bulletin board because the results are posted there.

When they got to the bulletin board, the four of them has a happy expression.

"OMG! I can't believe this. I'm included,"

"Me too,"

"Me three,"

"Aden is number three on the list. If I didn't force you to study, then I think you will not be included on the list,"

"Thank you for forcing me to study. Where's my reward?"

"This is your reward,"

Ella kissed Aden's cheek.

"Oh, so sweet,"

Suddenly, Ethan kissed Kim's forehead, and Kim was shocked and smiled.

"What about we eat outside after classes are over. Let's celebrate!"

"Ok!" Ella, Aden, and Ethan said.

"Ok. Let's go back to our classroom,"

And they all went back to their classroom.
