After getting to the main office of the school, I grab a map of the school. I look at it and see how big the school actually is, having multiple buildings, sport courts and even a pool. This whole thing may be a citadel instead of a school. In order to get from one side to the other you have to walk at least fifteen minutes.

Going back to the girl, the only place that I believe I can find her is the library. That’s the place where smart people usually hang out, and she was smart for sure. I look at the map and I can see where the library is, but first I want to use the bathroom, which is in the other direction.

On my way to the bathroom, I walked with the school map in hand looking for all the important places, like first year classrooms. I have to say though, the map is big as well, it occupies my whole head when fully open. I will have to be careful walking with this thing, but well, it is still an hour thirty minutes left for the test, there's almost no students yet. So, I don't think I will bump into anybody.

As I foolishly believe my words, I turn the corner, look up and see some light blue eyes. Time starts to go slow; I can see these beautiful eyes getting closer and closer as I watch. Then, with the eyes right in front of me, I felt something really hard hitting my head and I fell to the ground.

“Auch” is heard twice.

After I realize I bumped into someone, I quickly look up and apologize.

“I’m sorry. Are you okay?”.

A pretty cute girl with silky brown hair sits in-front of me.

“You should be more careful while walking” she says to me while rubbing her forehead. She then opens her eyes, and I can see those beautiful light blue eyes again, but this time they look different. A very scary pair of eyes pierce my soul with one look. She seems very pissed off.

"I am so sorry I was distracted; this is all my fault!" I beg for her forgiveness.

"Well, I also was looking away, so it is both our fault".

It seems that I avoided death today.

I look for the map on the floor, I can see two maps on the ground. We both try to reach them at the same time and bump our heads.

“Sorry…” We both said, rubbing our heads.

“Don’t worry, I’ll grab them” I reached for the maps quickly trying to not make her angrier that she already looks.

I give her the map, and she looks at me piercing my body with her gaze.

“Thank you” she says.

“Yeah… no problem” I cannot look her in the eyes, they are too frightening.

“...” She keeps staring at me.

Is she going to yell at me or something? The way she looks at me is making me really uncomfortable. Should I say something? Maybe I should just run. Yeah, tactical retread is the only option.

Just as I was about to move, she raised her hand and pointed at my head.

“Your hair…”

“Huh? What about it?” I take my phone out and use the camera I check at my hair.

“Waa-” it's all a mess. I forgot that I got out of home in a hurry. I can't believe I was walking around with a bed head. Ahh! That’s why that girl this morning stared at me. And she didn't say anything, so embarrassing.

“I didn’t notice it, thanks. I’ll go to the restroom and fix this” I use the opportunity to leave.

After fixing my hair, I go to the library. This place is huge, this is the biggest library I ever entered. I can't believe how big and luxurious everything is in this school. But it is going to be hard to find that girl in this place.

I found some tables and put my bag in the chair on the corner. I’ll leave my stuff here for now and see if I can find that girl, if not ill will just come back here and use whatever time I have left to study.

I start going around the library, and I notice there are people here and there. Well, the time for the test is getting closer, so I guess I will start to see even more people.

After some minutes going around, I couldn’t find the girl. Since we both are going to attend the school, I guess I’ll see her around sometime during the year. Well, I hope I can, because this school is too big. Anyway, for now I will grab some books to use for my studies and head back to where I left my stuff.

You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

After finding the books I needed I went back to where I left my stuff, now all the tables are taken, everyone is studying. I am glad I left my bag on the chair, and it seems that the person sitting next to me did the same, I can see a bag on the chair.

I go sit and pull my notebook back. I want to revise the problem that the girl solved earlier, I want to know how she did it. What type of formulas did she use? I still don’t understand how she was able to solve it so fast. I try to copy the same formula the girl did earlier but, it seems like I am not doing it correctly, I still get the problem wrong. What am I doing wrong?

Just as I’m wondering, I feel an immense pressure on me. I turn around and I see a brown hair girl from earlier, looking at me with her intense gaze.

Is she still angry? But what is she doing here? Did she come for revenge or something? Wait, she is sitting next to me. Was she the person that left her bag? And why is she looking at me with such pressure? Everyone around us also seems to feel the pressure her gaze gives, giving us weird looks.

“So-” before I could say anything, she finally spoke.

“That is wrong”.

“Huh?” I ask in confusion.

“This” she points at the problem I was trying to solve.

"Oh… it's that so?".

“Yeah…”.

So, she was looking at the problems I tried to solve.

"All of them…".

"Huh? All? I thought I was using the correct formulas…".

"Well, you did on this one, but you used it incorrectly".

So, the only one with the correct formula is the one that girl did earlier and the rest that I did myself are wrong… somehow, my success rate on the exam got down by a few numbers.

"Here" the girl gets closer to me "On this part…” she starts to look around the table, like searching for something, she then starts searching in her pockets, then her bag after a few seconds, she looks at my side of the table and reaches for my pencil.

“Excuse me”.

“G-go ahead”.

She starts writing and shows me all my mistakes and teaches me what formulas to use and how to properly use them. After a few minutes, I feel like I understand every problem better than before.

Even though she looked very angry before, she still helped me out, although her gaze is still looking very frightening.

"If you follow the formulas in this way, you should have no problem".

"Thank you!".

"Well, is what I think but looking at you I can see you are rather stupid, so try to remember what I just taught you".

"The insult was totally unnecessary".

Why did I get called an idiot by two random girls in the spam of an hour?

She starts to leave saying that she wants to be earlier in her designated room for the test, after walking a few steps she stops and starts to search for something all through her body once again, by seeing her reaction I can tell she didn't find it.

She turns around and walks fastly towards me.

"Did I give you your pencil back?".

“Now that you mention it, no you didn’t”.

"Augh! not again…".

"Again?".

“Earlier when I arrived at the library, I was ready to study but as soon as I sat down, I lost my pencil, so I went to grab another one from the main office and when I got back to the library, I was looking at what you were doing and somehow lost that pencil too”.

“Ehh… Really?” What a careless girl.

"You just thought I was careless right!?".

"No…I just thought, for someone who calls me stupid, it was funny to think she would make such a silly mistake as to lose her pencil on an important test like the one today".

"Ah…" she tried to say something but felt embarrassed, pouting his mouth, making a frustrated child-like face. Her angry face went away.

"Sorry for losing yours too…" she adds looking very depressed.

“-sighed- Here" I hand her a pencil and an eraser.

"Huh?!".

"Accept it as a thanks for helping out earlier" Although she made fun of me, she also helped me, so I have to show gratitude.

"Really?".

"Yeah, I have 10 of those just to make sure, you never know what can happen".

"Thank you".

"Yeah, no problem, try not to lose them, at least not before the exam?".

"Who are you taking me for? I'm not that careless…" She opens her hand where the pencil and eraser were. The eraser is missing.

"Huh?!".

"Are you for real?".

"It was here a moment ago!" She looks desperately in her pockets.

“Who on earth can lose things this fast?!”

“Shhhh!” The people around us remind us that we are in a library.

"Here" I hang two more erasers, and one pencil "Please use your brain and take care of them, at least until the end of the exam".

“Are you calling me stupid?!”.

“Lower your voice” I whispered, “Am not saying you are stupid… just a little clueless”.

“It's the same”.

“No, it's not”.

“Hump” She looks away in angriness and leaves.

Great, now I have two people that I have to apologize for being too rude, although they were rude too. But I guess I was raised to do the correct thing, that can be a pain in the ass sometimes. Well, there's no time for that now, it will have to be another opportunity.

After the girl from the library left, I used the time I had left to practice the formulas she taught me and then head to my designated room to take my exam. After two hours, I got out feeling a little bit uneasy, but with enough confidence to say that I believe I passed the exam. But I will only know that when I get the results.
