6 OH! THAT WAS FREAKING HARD!
***
“Oh, that was freaking hard!” Mitch complained.
After the first day of exam, Mitch was complaining about how hard the first 3 subjects were. She said that she wasn’t able to survive well in the following days because the first day gave her so much pain on her ass. She was totally exhausted after walking away from the room while Vanessa and Krist were just totally fine.
“Did you get the question number 12?” Mitch asked.
The two nodded. Vanessa and Krist got the same answer while Mitch was recalling her answer, she concluded that she might fail on her pre-lims score. She was excessively worried. Krist then asked the two to sit down on the bench and take a rest. While they were waiting, Mitch heard the noise from hear stomach, reason why she asked the two to buy foods until Vanessa opted to stay to take good care of the belongings.
While she was waiting and looking from afar, Austin surprisingly appeared in front of her and giving her a drink. Her face was filled with surprise and fear. She tried to look the surrounding as if she were a soldier searching for foes and checked if Mitch was coming. Then she realized that the bench she was waiting was too far from the cafeteria.
“What are you doing here?” She asked.
“I am giving you a drink?” he answered.
Vanessa unwillingly took the drink without uttering her thanks. She was so nervous enough to shoo Austin away. Austin mentioned that he never heard her saying thank you that’s why he was still standing before her. She, then, said the words he wanted to hear. But afterwards, the guy was still firmly standing.
“Why are you still hear?”
“Are you already decided.? About the date?”
When Vanessa saw that her two friends were coming, she strongly pushed the man away and Austin had no choice but to leave. With his innocent face and mesmerizing nature, no one would dare to push him away but that situation demands for it anyway. He waved his hand and said bye-bye. She fixed herself and kept the drink on her bag. Explaining about how she had a drink was quite hard for her that’s why keeping it will solve her trouble.
“Are you okay? You look pale.” Krist mentioned.
“Y-yes, I am okay.” She replied.

On the second day of the examination, Krist was waiting for her friends. They had morning review and he arrived too early on the planned time. He took his books from his bag and began reading. He was seriously reading not until Austin saw him and seemingly took the chance to sit right next to him.
“Hey bro!” Austin greeted.
He sat beside him and put his right hand on his shoulder. Nervousness at its finest. He began to beat his heart rapidly and wasn’t able to do. Her sweat began to formulate on his forehead. He was awkward. He was nervous. He was so innocent. Austin asked him why he was alone. He mentioned that he was waiting for his friends.
“I need you!” Austin insisted.
“Huh? What do you mean?” Krist was puzzled.
“Tomorrow, at 5:00 pm. Meet me at my dorm.”
“Huh? For what?”
“See you there!”
Austin left him with so many questions on Krist’s mind. He was trying to analyze what the hell he was trying to do. Why did he need his help? While putting his own conclusion to the scenario earlier, Vanessa arrived.
“Krist! Krist! Krist!”
Vanessa called his attention for many times but his mind was wandering somewhere else. She began asking if he was okay. Lack of sleep due to rigorous reviewing was his reason in order for the question to be answered right away.
“Thanks for walking me by.” Mitch sent her thanks.
Mitch arrived together with Rick but sooner, Rick went away to follow his friends in the library. The girl arrived with joy on her eyes and a vibe of being in love.
“Wait a minute! Do we need to know something?” Vanessa teased.
Vanessa and Krist scrutinized her friends face. Undoubtedly, she was blooming. She was a bit happy compared yesterday when they left her to buy snacks and drinks. They knew that there was something going on but Mitch said it was nothing. Rick had a girlfriend and they were just friends.
“Since when? Since when you became friends?” Krist asked.
They laughed and continuously teased Mitch as if they had no exam to take until they knew it was time for them to go inside of the room.

“After the final day of exam, let’s drink!” Andrew offered.
“I’m okay with that!” Rick responded.
After taking the examination, they started walking away from the room and talking about their plans after pre-lims. They usually drink and invite some friends and classmates to celebrate. Rick and Andrew were full of elation when they planned to drink on weekend. However, Austin was looking on his phone. When the two saw that he was busy browsing, they assumed that it was Vanessa – then they’re right.
“Okay, wait me here! I just need to do something.” Austin mumbled.
The two were so surprised because they were commanded to wait Austin again for the second time around. Austin left them and went to the cafeteria to buy something. He saw Vanessa in the cafeteria with her friends. Then, he bought sandwich and iced coffee not for himself but for Vanessa. The young student used his appealing personality to ask the vendor to give what he bought to the girl sitting on that chair – Austin was actually pointing his finger towards Vanessa. The vendor followed her request.
Vanessa was surprised when she received her favorite snack to her favorite stall. Then, when she asked the vendor who gave that to her, the vendor pointed her finger back to his stall but unfortunately, Austin was already gone.
