Exams

I was on the verge of falling asleep in class. The drone of the teacher, the noise the classroom fan was making and the afternoon heat were all trying to put me to sleep. I propped my textbook up and lay my head on the table.

I don't even know why I bothered trying to cover up the fact that I was sleeping in class with a textbook. It was so obvious to the teacher but it was basically hinting to the teacher to go away.

"Ok class that is all for today. Remember you that you have exams next week. I want everybody to put aside your activities for the next week and study for it. You are not in elementary school anymore, you are young adults. I trust all of you to study hard, goodbye."

Wait a minute. What did my teacher just say. Exams?

Did I just screw up, I swear I read the timetable which said exams were 3 weeks away. I mean I should be fine for the math and sciences but maybe not so much for the humans subjects such as history. I was in Japan so all they taught was Japanese history.

I guess you could go on about all that learning from history crap but I feel history was just a waste of time. The only thing nice about it was that it was somewhat interesting, learning about all the wars and such. But it was anything but useful. It was easy to look back and criticize the mistakes people made but I'm sure if any of us were put into similar situations as them, we would be doing exactly the same.

Well, that was that. I'm not complaining, I have way less to study than others anyway.

"Yo Karma, are you going to study for the exams or are you just going to find a random guy to fight?" I turned to ask Karma.

"Relax, no one studies now man, we are too young for that." He replied coolly.

"Don't gimme that crap man. You obviously study, you act like you slack off in class but I know you are secretly paying attention. You do well in subjects such as Biology and History and it's pretty obvious you had to study to memorize all those facts."

Karma's face turned red." W-well, I guess you got me. But I'm willing to bet that I will do better than you this exams."

"Are you sure about that. Don't go regretting your decisions." I replied.

"Hey, Kaen. You are good at studying right, are you willing to teach us a little. My results aren't great and I'm trying to improve in my studies."

I turned around and say Raku with his two sidekicks Onodera and Shu. I mean this guy was literally a harem mc. He was so honest, innocent and gullible.

He also wasn't very smart, I would say maybe at best slightly above average in terms of intelligence. Not gonna lie, there are times where he is so dense that I think he is a retard but I guess some girls fall for that? I don't know how a smart girl like Chitoge could fall in love with him in the future but maybe Onodera made sense?

"Well, it shouldn't be a problem. I won't be teaching you guys the pure memorization topics such as Bio and History though. That fine with you guys?" I asked.

" Yeah no problem. I have been spending that past week or two trying to memorize those, it is just math and physics which I do not really understand." Raku replied.

Suddenly, I thought of an idea. I then spoke up:" Our study group should be fine but Onodera is the only girl, she may feel left out, should we invite another girl along with her?"

I'm a genius, I thought to myself.

" Sure, no problem. Which other girl do you have in mind though?" Raku answered.

"Hm, well I don't really know. How about Miku, she seems pretty interested in History, maybe she could teach us some tips and tricks to memorize it. Could you ask her for me though, I'm a little busy?" I said.

Raku: " Yeah, you are right. That seems like a pretty good idea. I'll ask her right after school, you can go ahead."

Nice, now it would not seem like I was the desperate one wanting her to come study with us. The blame would be put on Raku. Since he is so dense he can act as my shield and he won't notice a thing.

If this thing does not work out, there are still many ways to approach her. If I remember the anime correctly, she did not do well in her exams at all, except only history. She was probably going to flunk the exams and I remember the teacher talking about pairing us up to teach one another.

Well, I just hope that she is not stupid. Sometimes stupidity really puts someone off, it could ruin my entire impression of her. She can memorize history really well though, being able to remember the entire book just by reading it once. It shows that her memory is pretty exceptional.

"Karma, just to make sure you are going to come with us right?" I checked with my tablemate.

"Nah, don't want to." He quickly replied.

"Hey, just come. There's no way I can teach all of them at once, I need another teacher. How bout this, if you don't come, I'm gonna tell everybody your little secret about not studying." I said with a smirk.

Suddenly, he sat up, cleared his throat and asked: " So... when and where are we going to be studying again?"

I burst out laughing. "My house, this Saturday, come anytime you want."

I can't wait for Saturday, I thought to myself.
