Pass!
Jena ran through the halls of her school, trying to head to her final exam. This was her final year at St. De Angelis, and she was determined to make sure it was. She rushed through the door just as the bell rang. The teacher looked up at her.
"Hello Jena." the teacher said. "Glad to see you decided to show up on the day of the exam. Are you ready?"
Jena nodded. "Of course. Let her rip." She sat down at her desk. The teacher stood up and picked up a stack of papers. "Now class," she said. "This is the final exam for your archeological class. Pass this, and you are out of here and out into the world. But first you must make sure you can actually pass through. Now, quiet." She started passing out papers. Jena was sitting in the front, staring at the desk.
Something hit her in her head. She turned to find the bully laughing at her. Jena turned back, feeling her face growing red. She couldn't wait to get out of here and be gone.
The test landed on her desk. Jena took one look at Question 1 and instantly knew the answer. This is going to be easy. She thought.
An hour later, Jena stood from her desk and set the test onto her teacher's desk. The teacher took one look at it and smiled. "Good job Jena. You have passed with a 3.0." she took a piece of paper and wrote something on it. "You are now an archeologist. I always knew you could do it."
A huge grin came on Jena's face. "Really?" she asked. The teacher nodded. "YES!" Jena shouted.
"Oh, can I do one thing before I leave?" The teacher nodded, confused. Jena spun and threw the paperball back at the bully. It smacked him in his head, making him jump in his seat. Before anyone could say anything, Jena shot out the door.
She screamed at the top her lungs, smiling. She was through. Done with the school. And now her dream was coming true. The first thing Jena did was run to the post office. She wrote a letter to all her family and friends in Ordon and gave it to the mailman. She walked out and walked back home. She ran through the door. "Jacob! Abby!"
Jacob came walking around the corner. "Hey Jena. How was your exam?"
Jena smiled. "I passed with a 3.0!"
Jacob was speechless at first, then he picked Jena up. "Awesome Jena! I'm so proud of you!" Jena laughed.
The door opened and closed. They both turned to see Abby walk through. She gave them a weird look. "Anything I should know about?" she asked.
Jacob looked at his fifteen year old sister. "Should I tell her or should you?"
Jena handed Abby the paper her teacher gave her. Abby read it over, then looked at Jena with a look of surprise on his face. "Good job Jena!"
"Thank you!" Jena replied. "I would like to head home so I can tell everyone else about it."
Jacob nodded. "Of course. They'll be excited to hear."
Joey sat there with his friends at the Ordon guard post, playing cards. Joey laid his cards down and everyone else looked at him in disbelief. "Joey, I can't believe you!" one of his friends, Mike said. "You are such a luck dog!"
Joey smiled. "I do have the luck of the devil, don't I? Any chance I can get you ladies to keep playing?"
Mike shook his head. "Sorry dude, you're running me dry of rupees. I need to go check on Chris, make sure he hasn't fallen asleep." A knock sounded from the door. Mike opened the door, then stood back. "It's for you Joey."
Joey stood up and walked through the door. The mailman was standing there. "One letter for a Mr. Joey De Angelis?"
Joey nodded. "That is me mate."
The mailman handed him the letter. "Good day!" he said, and ran off. Joey shook his head, and opened the letter. He saw that it was from Jena. Joey smiled at what was in the letter. He turned and walked through the door.
Mike saw him walk through. "What was in the letter Mr. Luck?"
Joey ignored his comment. "Jena passed from St. De Angelis with a 3.0."
Mike whistled, impressed. "She wants to come back to Ordon and see her family. I'm going to go up to Castle Town and pick her up so she can."
Mike nodded. "Good luck bro."
Joey walked out the door. "Thanks mate." He walked out and looked to the right. "Arek!" he called.
Seconds later, a full-grown German Shepard came bounding out of the tree line and ran to his master's side. Joey kneeled down beside him. "Do you want to go see Jena? Do you?" Arek panted and began wagging his tail. Joey smiled. "Then let's go."
