Exams Detail

Chris stood up, his pride bruised and his face contorted with frustration. His chest heaved as he clenched his fists, a deep frustration bubbling within him. The challenge had been humiliating, a blow to his ego he wasn't prepared for. Losing in front of the class, having his arrogance stripped away in a mere ten seconds—it was beyond infuriating. But worse than that, now he was expected to apologize. Apologize to Ariana, of all people.

His eyes flicked to her desk, and with a seething glare, he stalked toward her, his posture rigid, as if every step was a battle to maintain his dignity. His gaze never wavered from Ariana, and his lips curled into a thin, tight line. He was determined to make this moment as short as possible—because in his mind, this was a punishment far worse than any exam could ever be.
