Christian wanted to be swallowed by the ground right now as all he can hear was his heart heavily beating and crows cawing as if to embarrass him further.
Finally, I stood up and scanned the group—some of them were my classmates, others from different classes, all equally tired from the last few days.
"Everyone, listen up!" I declared, making sure my voice carried across the camp. All conversations stopped, and their eyes turned toward me.
"Since this is the last day of our exam," I continued, "you're free to leave to earn more points or rest here until the time is up. Either way, it's up to you."
I could see a few heads nodding in understanding, some students clearly torn between pushing their limits for more points or taking a well-deserved break.
Christian, still recovering from his earlier outburst, looked relieved, probably glad for a momentary distraction from the mess he'd created.
