Rinnngg—
The bell hadn't even finished ringing before everyone got off their seats, heading towards the door.
This was it.
I shot up from my chair so fast. Too fast. For a second the room felt like it was spinning, but I shook it off. I told myself I'd wait. Be calm. But before I knew it, I was already two steps from the door, my feet moved on their own as I made my way towards the board. The moment everyone had been waiting for. The moment I had been waiting for.
The results are out.
It's the first mid-term of high school. The results which will decide the fate of my life,well at least this next month of my life. My palms were sweaty and my heart felt like it would leap out of my chest.
I made it to the first floor, without tripping— mind you.The hallway seemed endless as I scurried towards the board, the crowd blending into a blur. I was finally in front of the leaderboard . The crowd was already gathered in front of it.
Taking a deep breath I stepped forward, making my way through the crowd and finally, I looked up at the results, my heart racing and my palms sweaty.
Lucas Carter 99/100
Evelyn Reed 97/100
Fuck.
I thought to myself. My high school life is definitely beyond saving.
I could sense a shadow behind me, probably grinning. I didn't want to turn around and face him.
“Woah there Evelyn, you must really like being in second place. It's almost impressive how consistent you are.” he remarked with a smirk on his face.
I really wanna punch that smirk off his face.
Crossing his arm he leaned against the wall facing me.
Don't look. Don't look. Just ignore him.
He raised an eyebrow at my ignorance.
“Ah cat got your tongue Miss second place? Or was the result too shocking for you? I mean it's nothing out of the ordinary.” He pushed himself off the wall and got right up in my face.
“You didn't forget the bet right?. Now you'll be my most diligent servant for the whole month.” He claimed with a smile on his face.
He's definitely mocking me. I wanna strangle him.
No, Evelyn… don't react.
“Yeah… I'm screwed, aren't I?” I said as I bit my lips.
“You can say that again Miss second place” he said as he leaned back.
I should've never made that stupid bet.
