Chapter 10 (Exams)

At home, Ishan's parents and big brother were shocked by seeing Ishan studying on the first day of the school! He was a guy who touched his book when exams were near.

Ivan asked, "Are you alright, Ishan?"

And Ishan's mother started checking Ishan's temperature whether he is sick or not.

From inside Ishan knew that it will be not worthy being the same Ishan his brothers and parents knew. He said, "Don't worry, I am all right. Just my exams are coming and if I didn't passed by 45%, then I will not be able to apply for basketball team."

Telling with intention will explain why the person is doing that.

Ishan started studying hard every day with also keeping basketball as a priority and played some times. Whereas, at school, Ishan attended school with trying to not feel lazy and sleepy and give attention properly to classes. Sara also helped Ishan and Jiyu for their studies in her free time or sometimes, they all studied together.

"Ma... Mama, I want a little bit more!" Said Ishan. It was the last day for preparation because from the day after today, Ishan's exams will start.

Ishan's mother happily served more food and were a little bit proud that his son cares about his eating health.

Ishan was eating with studying and Ivan beat on his head and said, "Do one thing at a time! Eat or study."

Ishan laughed and said, "Big brother, you were not good at school so you are jealous from me that I am studying hard."

Ishan's father said, "What Ivan said was right. You must do one thing at a time. Multitasking will spoil your both work. So either eat or study."

Ivan took his seat and Ishan left the book and continued eating.

Ishan said, "This time I am going to defeat Sara from her rank."

Ivan was surprised by Ishan's overconfidence and said, "Really? I don't think so."

Ishan with attitude said, "So you wanna bet of it, huh? What do you want if I lost?"

Ishan was enough smart that Ivan is trying to compete with him.

Ivan said, "So you understood, very well. If Sara, your friend, comes at higher rank than of yours, I will give you a punishment or some more."

Ishan said, "And if I ranked higher than Sara, then you will have to do anything which I say. Not for a day but forever."

Ivan was a little bit shocked and also scared by Ishan's request but he was still having some confidence in himself and agreed with the challenge. And with this, Ishan vs. Ivan challenge began.

The next day, at morning, Ishan with Sara and Jiyu was walking towards the school for the exam.

Ishan told about his and Ivan's challenge and Sara and Jiyu were a little bit shocked that what Ishan has committed with.

Sara said, "But first of all, why did you made me enter in your and your big brother challenge? Do you really want to defeat me in academics?"

Ishan said, "I am sure I will. I have studied hard for one day to overtake your rank."

Sara said, "I guess you have committed about with wrong person. I guess you are overconfident." And she laughed.

Sara was also ready for the battle of academics with Ishan.

Sara said, "But now I also want something from you if I won."

Ishan laughed and said, "Just say it even if you can't defeat me."

Sara said, "So rude of you. But I will tell about it after the results are out."

And Ishan also said that he also wants something from her if he won although he didn't told about it.

But the most peaceful and nice guy in this was Jiyu. He did not wanted anything, except good marks so that he could apply for the basketball team.

The exams started and ended and this thing continued till more 5 days and then exams were over and Ishan was confident on his results and was just waiting for it.

And the results were being out in a week and on thecsame day, parents teacher meeting was also held. It didn't take too long and the day also arrived.

Ishan, with same sorrow and depressed face, walking with Ivan and his parents.

Ivan laughed and said, "I already knew that you can't. See, Sara topped at first and you."

Ishan's mother caught Ivan's ear and said, "Don't make him sad, he has done well. He has improved much, so don't."

Ishan's percentage was 75% and Sara's percentage was 97%.

Ivan said sorry and his mother left his ear.

Ishan's parents were happy with Ishan's marks because it was much more good than of his previous exams in which he normally gained 44%.

Ivan said to his parents to leave and he and Ishan will wander and enjoy for today. So they left.

Ishan said, "So... What is the punishment for me?"

Ivan said, "Just wait, we will firstly wait for Sara if she has not came yet for the PTM."

Ishan thought that Ivan want to insult him in front of Sara but he can't deny with it. So with his usual sad face, he and Ivan sat at a bench waiting for Sara.

As Ivan has never seen Sara till now so he said to Ishan to not be clever and see at the gate properly. When Sara will come, Ishan will have to tell him first.

Ishan is not cheater anymore, like he was in his previous life, so he agreed.

Firstly, Ishan and Ivan found Jiyu with his parents, moving towards Jiyu's classroom although he didn't saw them and Ivan also not let Ishan to call him because he should firstly go to the PTM.

Then, a few minutes later, finally Ishan saw Sara and told to Ivan.

Ishan was just going to call Sara but Ivan stopped him. He wanted to talk with her and Ishan together after their PTM is done.
