Chapter 18 - Exam Day 1

I wake up in the morning. I look at the clock , it's 6 am. Alright , I fell asleep last night, again . Why does it always happen when I am learning for exam . It could happen any other time but no , I just had to fall asleep before exam day. Never mind , past is in past , let's not look back . I will start learning now . The exam starts at 10 anyway. I can learn during the first class and during the break .

I took my Energy Drink from the couch table , opened the cap and finished a can before starting to learn. A little reminder , this happens every time so I was prepared for it . That's why I had my Drinks and learning materials ready since yesterday . I always plan everything .

I learned and learned and learned .

Genetics , organisms, bacteria , mutations and what not . Don't even ask why , they really think that I need to know about this stuff ,right . Why though? It's not like a person who is applying to a accountant is gonna be asked to answer how many chromosomes are in normal human body. Like who decides this crap. But we poor students are still forced to learn all this stuff because we want good grades . Only with good grades are our Guardians happy. I didn't really understood why I need good grades in A level Maths to be damn elementary school math teacher . So I asked my teachers and Parents about it and they all replied the same "Because we also had to get good grades to get good earnings".

But do I really need those to earn money? Sometimes I even feel like Schools are brainwashing us to think that only with good grades can we successfully get good earnings but what about those people are sitting in Millions of pounds and dollars all earned through gambling .

Then , I remembered also a interview of a rich man once in a TV , he was sitting in a luxury chair and said " I dropped out but still am the one of richest personalities of the world . The world think that with good grades and graduations , you can get a good job and I don't deny that. But the good graduates the world is talking about are working for as Employees, whereas me , a dropout , is employing them for their salary. "

Well, when you look at it , somE of the billionaires are really dropouts , so he isn't wrong in saying that and who says you can't be that next dropout billionaire just because your grades are bad and can't land a proper job.

So while having that thought , I decided not to learn . Easy .

7:55 am . That's when I leave home for school . I am not one of the people who arrives to school 30 minutes before the first class even starts , I find it very lame to do that. I mean , 30 minutes ! , that whole 30 minutes , which mean 1.800 seconds I could also spend that time ....sleeping . Today I had all white suit on. Shirt , white . Pant , white . Shoes , white . Even my Underwear and shocks were white because White is the color of Peace and I was hoping that the my mortal Enemy , Exam shows mercy upon me seeing my white flag of surrender . I even went to the nearby Church to pray to get through this safely because every time in Exam day , I become the most religious person in the world.

I arrived at school and went to my classroom and obviously class had already started . Not that it matters , anyway. I sat at my desk and started counting falling leaves . Exam was already something I didn't have interest in so why should I care .

After some time while having counted 34 fallen leaves , I realized that Even if I don't care about my exam, my Parents do and while imagining their sad looks as they view my report card , I couldn't bring myself to completely give up in this exam. It could even be claimed that the only reason why I am even going to school was for my parents and their happiness. So took out the Biology Notes which was sent by the girl last night and started remembering the key questions and answers .

This time I was motivated by my parents smiling face enough to not fall a sleep while learning . I kept learning and learning and learning till the bell finally rang . 30 minutes , that's how much time I have to finish remembering . Why is remembering the notes taking longer than I thought last night . I mean , when I looked through it yesterday, it only took me 10 minutes to go over everything, so why is this happening ? I looked at 13 Pages of Notes lying in front of my screen , and I had to finish it in 30 minutes , I mean that's only 1800 seconds .

Anyway , I will learn what I can during this time and rest in Luck.

I learned and learned and learned . I learned some new words which I never have heard in my life like Mitosis , Meiosis and what. Although , I didn't know what they meant even though I looked it up . It explained me with some other new words which I hadn't heard and when I looked at those new words , it explained it to me some other new words . I even wondered if we are still speaking the earthly language or not . I felt alienated .

Bell rang !

Teacher came in with the exams in his hand . And of course the Paper Walls was not needed because we all had our own table and chair . Everybody sat alone . I looked at the teacher who appeared very strict and looked at all the students with scorn in his eyes , not that I care Anyways.

He stood in front of the white board and started speaking "If any one of have cheats on him or her , please surrender now , or else if I find it later , I will fail these individuals directly "

I didn't have them , so I was cool but as I looked around and the air seemed tense all of a sudden. I was used to observing people and I could already tell who had cheats with them with their visual expressions already . Some of the one I guessed even succumbed to the pressure and surrendered their Cheats while some kept playing innocent . Well, it's none of my business , so I started ignoring them .

The teacher called us front to hand in our Mobile phones to prevent taking them with us while heading to the bathroom to cheat . As he counted the mobile phones and the number of students , they didn't quite match. One mobile phone was missing .

So he asked "who didn't hand in their mobile Phone , one person hasn't ?"

A boy immediately raised his hand up and claimed "Sir, my parents don't allow me to use mobile phones , so I ain't got one yet" I have to say he looked suspicious.

The teacher stared it him for couple of seconds and let the matter go and he started handing out the exam. As he finished handing out to everyone , then we were allowed to turn it over .

I turned it over . 1 hour 30 minutes remaining , Start.
