felix was about to cry if he was going to be honest. year twelve was the worst of the worst (besides year eight when he hung out with the wrong crowd and a bunch of shit happened. he didn't like talking about that year). with the pressure and stress of the hsc approaching and the exams felix was going through, the high school senior felt as if he was drowning in highlighted notes and countless study sessions. 

chan could see the younger struggling, reminding the music major of himself when he went through the hsc. he had always reminded felix that he had to do something to relive stress, like having some down time to himself or just staying away from studying for a whole day. but, chan mainly told felix to just relax and do his best. his atar score didn't define who he was as a person. "grades aren't the most important thing", was one of chan's many repeated lines.

"chris, i feel it" felix groaned, massaging his temples. "i'm gonna get like, one of those mystery things and no uni is going to accept me and i'll have to go do work with my uncle or something. i shouldn't have chosen chemistry... i should have dropped it instead of maths, it's kicking my ass. i hate science low key. not even! i high key hate science"

chan sat himself down next to the stressed-out boy with a freshly popped bowl of popcorn. he patted felix on the back who just fell onto his hyung's lap, his face in his hands. 

"calm down, felix. it's gonna be okay"

"says you," the freckled boy scoffed, voice muffle from his hands. " mister i got band six on four of my subjects. get out of my face"

chan chuckled lightly whilst munching away on a handful of popcorn. "shut up, i'm serious. i know it seems hard right now but just believe in yourself. you've worked so hard, felix. you'll get a good score, get accepted into uni, study dance and live your best life" 

felix exhaled and twisted over so that he could see chan gleaming down on him. all he mumbled out was, "i hate year twelve" 

"i know. it sucks ass" chan said in empathy, offering felix some popcorn who graciously accepted it.

changbin should have been studying for his history exam that would occur first thing tomorrow morning but the aspiring rapper was too busy writing lyrics that just couldn't be contained in his head. he came up with some of the most genius lines when he wasn't thinking about it too much. for example, changbin was staring out of the window during one of his afternoon lectures and all of a sudden, he had come up with a whole verse of a song that he had anticipated to write more of the second he got home.

changbin was going over the lyrics, mumbling out the words with the perfect flow when his phone rang next to him. he checked the caller id and his eyes widened slightly when he saw what was painted across the screen.

channie hyung 

changbin was quick to answer. 

"hello?"

"changbin! how have you been?" chan's upbeat voice exploded from the other line but changbin was too in shock to complain. 

"i've been good, hyung"

"doing well in school?" he asked. 

changbin glanced at the unopened textbooks and the blank sheets of paper in his newly turned to school book pages. changbin just laughed awkwardly. "oh, yeah. for sure"
