IS THIS THE EXAMINATION!!?

I didn't want to lie to them. We promised never to lie to each other.

"What have you both done that I have never done, well until now?" I looked at both of them.

"You haven't taken a swim before, you haven't had a boyfriend before". Hailey began.

"Um…Tara, pretty much everything". Andrea said and I rolled my eyes.

"Okay, what is one thing majority of the century teenagers have done and can also be done to get money".

"Sex?" Hailey asked.

"Yep". I nodded and they both looked at each other before laughing.

"You? Sex? Impossible". Andrea said in between her laughter.

"Am serious". I said.

"Who agreed to have sex with you". They laughed.

"A guy, look am serious, I can show you the hickey and hand prints that won't just go away ". I said.

"Okay show us". Andrea said and I showed them. "Ask Sean, I told him about it and also showed him the check ".

"Wow you did have sex ". Hailey paused. "How was it?"

"It felt…awesome, new but amazing ". I said.

"Tell us exactly what happened". Andrea requested and I explained it to them as I munched on the hotdog Andrea got me.

"Wow, so you where his first virgin?" Hailey asked.

"I think so". I said.

"You said he is rich right?" Andrea asked.

"Yeah". I nodded.

"I know almost all rich families both in and across America so what is his name?" She asked.

"Hmmm…. Raymond". I said.

"There are lots of Raymond's, what's his surname?" Andrea asked.

"Can't remember and I can't find the check". I said.

"That's bad". Hailey muttered.

"Yeah". Andrea agreed.

"Well he does seem interested in you". Hailey pointed out.

"More like in my in-between". I said.

"Still tough". Andrea smiled.

"Let's forget me and talk about you Hailey". I said. "How is your transfer process going on?"

Hailey Clese, quiet and interesting at the same time. She looks innocent but is dirty. She is the type to wear a normal dress and would still pull it off. She is rich. The only daughter and child to the minister of works.

While Andrea Poley, my friend with something called tough love. She was also rich, daughter to a fashion icon and Neurologist. She is Sean's cousin and sister to my nemesis…Ethan. She hardly ever worries about anything and just goes with the flow of life. She is an emo girl.

And my trusted ally and best friend, Sean Norman. He is simply the description of the best. I loved him a lot even though he gets waisted lots of times and then puts us in trouble. He is always there when I need him and even when I don't. He is a Senator's son.

Apart from Tia and Anne, these three made life worth living.

Today was the d day. I was nervous but excited. These college has been my dream like for ever and here I am standing on the grounds of the school. I always wanted to school in a reputed school like this one. Sean, Hailey and Andrea schooled here already. I really wanted to be part of it. And these was my chance.

They matched us into the hall. We were assigned our sits. I sat on mine comfortably. We were told to wait for the invigilators of the exam. I sat there as I tried to recollect what I knew when I heard gasps coming from the crowd of candidates like me. I turned just to see…Raymond…. What the…

My eyes widened in shock as I stared at him. Behind him were three other guys, one which I recognized. Immediately, our eyes met and there it was that smile, the smile he always had on. I faced another way, what where they doing here for God's sake.

"Candidates, these are your likely seniors for this year. Raymond Jailin, the Founder's son, Dylan Kim, the Headmistress son, Jaiden McArthur and Tyler Joseph are soms of two board of directors". The Man on a blue suit said as the candidates cheered for them. I couldn't cheer, I couldn't believe I'll be stuck here with this guy for a year or two.

They are sat on their sits as the distribution of sheets began. I decided to focus on my exams for now. When it got to my turn, I wasn't given one.

"Um, sorry I wasn't given a shit". I told the Man but he just ignored me. I sat there confused until I looked and he was staring at me. This was not how I thought my day would go, in my time of hopelessness, my sheet was dropped on my desk and a smile blossomed on my lips.

I opened the questionnaire with my name already on it. I blinked over and over again when…is this the EXAM!!?

The questions looked weird. I had only an hour left so I guess I will answer it like it was. Question number one, my origin, Goergia. Question number two, future ambition, A nurse…

I was done right on time. The sheets where collected and we had a slight break. I went downstairs as I video called on the group chat.

"Hey guys". I waved.

"Hi Tara". Sean smiled.

"How was it?" Hailey asked.

"Good, but that's not why I called". I said.

"What happened?" Andrea asked.

"The guy who I slept with, showed up here". I said.

"Seriously?" Hailey asked.

"Yeah, he's the Founder's son". I said.

"What!!?" They all chorused.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Everything". Andrea said sassily.

"You had sex with Raymond Jailin?" Hailey asked.

"That's big girl". Sean said.

"I don't really…" I was cut off because the break was over. "I'll call you guys later".

I turned around and walked back inside. It was time for the oral tests. I got called and when I went in, I immediately wanted to leave because it was him again. I decided to act cool

" Good day". I said professionally

"Sit". Thank God he was going with the flow.

"Thank you". I said as I sat down on the chair across the table between us.

"Ostara Jakob, right?" He asked calmly.

"Yes". I nodded.

"Do you like this College?" He asked.

"Yes". I answered.

"What do you like about it?" He inquired.

"The environment, the reputation and the job offers that comes after it". I said.

"Do you like the standards?"

"Yes".

"The method of teaching?"

"Yes".

"The location?"

"Yes".

"Do you want to have sex with me again?"

"Yes, wait no, I mean…" I stammered in confusion.

"You mean?" He asked as he stood up and walked towards me. "Stand up".

"What?" I was so lost.

"Get up". He repeated and I immediately stood up.

He now stood behind me.

"Right now am your ticket to this school". He said in a low threatening voice.

"Your threatening me to get what you want with what I love". I said.

"You also did the same you know?" He said. "You used what I loved to get what you wanted, I guess we are now equal right?"
