You know how stressful and tedious exam weeks are, at times you happily read and a lot gets into your head, and at other times, you're ready to tear down the book and burn it's contents…. Frustrating!!!
That's literally how it was for Ella. It was her first exam without the rest of her family….
You know the pre-exam rituals like preparing your bags, clothes and exam equipments for the next day, or close your textbook before dinner time and go to bed early, or have a healthy nutritious breakfast before the exam or get some fresh air and light exercise, or do something you find relaxing and stuff like that….
Ella couldn't do any, I mean, her mom wasn't here, who would prepare the healthy and nutritious breakfast she needed? Pre-exam rituals were things she usually did with the rest of her family, it was literally impossible without them.
