By the end of the exam, Ken was mystified. Both the Math and English tests were rather simple, although he had to think a little on some of the ending questions. Even with that being the case, he wasn't sure why everyone was dreading it so much.

After everything was finished, the class went to recess. Ken sat across from Steve who looked to be in the pits of despair.

"Was it really that bad?" Ken asked.

Steve raised his head, his face looking pale. "Man, you don't understand. I haven't studied since before Easter break."

As if depressed, Steve quietly dug into his food, stuffing his face. It seemed that the guy was an emotional eater, swallowing the pain down with every mouthful.

Ken found it a little amusing, but he didn't probe any further. Worst case scenario he would help tutor the guy in the future as well.

'I am his mentor after all.' Ken thought, a grin pulling at the corner of his lips.
