"All right class, listen up! I know valentine's day is soon, but that doesn't give you an excuse to go insane! Mr. Triton stormed in, shouting. The class got quiet immediately. "Your normal math teacher is out today, so I'll be teaching class today. I don't have much planned but I will be passing back your tests." He began walking down the rows, stopping briefly at each desk. Some students groaned and some cheered when they received their test. Garmr watched him, anxiously awaiting his test. His anxiety worsened with each step Mr. Triton took.
When Mr. Triton finally got to him, Garmr quickly grabbed his test, shaking a little. He looked at his test and groaned. "Stupid, stupid Garmr! What would master say?" He heard a voice from behind him. "Garmr-kun! What did you get?" Garmr quickly looked behind him. Moritaka was standing there, holding his test. The number on it was... 95. He hurried to hide his test, but it was too late. Moritaka had already seen it. "You got a 47?" Garmr nodded hesitantly. "Yes, Garmr got a 47. Garmr is not good at math." Moritaka was about to say something but was interrupted by Mr. Triton's booming voice. "Listen up! Your math teacher is allowing you to retake the test on monday if you did badly. I would advise those of you who failed to do so."
Moritaka's eyes lit up! "Garmr you should retake it! You can get a better grade I know it!" Garmr hung his sadly. "Thank you, but Garmr cannot do better. Garmr always fails math tests." "Don't say that. I know you can do better." Moritaka said. "I know you can do well. If you want, I can help you study." Garmr looked up, his eyes glistening with tears. "Moritaka kun would really do that for Garmr? Garmr is very greatful." "Of course I would help! We are friends!"
Moritaka exclaimed! "Do you want to walk home after school together? We can get started at my dorm!" Garmr's tail started wagging. "Garmr is very happy! Garmr may finally pass a math test if Moritaka kun helps him! Moritaka kun is very smart!" Moritaka smiled. "I guess it is settled then? I will prepare my notes to help you!" Just then, the bell rang. "Class is over? I am sorry, but I have to go to my next class. I will see you later today." Garmr was so happy he almost did not realize he had to go to his next class. He hurried off, elated at Moritaka's offer.
The rest of the day was dreary and boring but nothing crushed Garmr's enthusiasm and he remained over the moon for the entire day!
