Unhinged

Half an hour later, the tests started. All the classrooms went quiet as everyone settled into their seats, watching as the teacher came in, followed by an assistant carrying a stack of test papers. The tension in the room was palpable as the teacher placed the papers on the desk and addressed the class.

"Good morning, everyone. I hope you've all prepared adequately. Remember, this test will contribute significantly to your final grades, so take it seriously."

The assistant began distributing the papers, the faint rustle breaking the silence. Eira glanced at Cyran, who gave her a small, encouraging nod before focusing on his own desk. Malia, seated in front of Cyran, was already tapping her pencil nervously against the table.

Eira flashed a small smile at the assistant as the paper was placed in front of her. Then her gaze went to it. Their first subject was English. 

Typical.
