Well, here's chapter two. Tell me what `ya think. :D
Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.
The clock kept ticking loudly in her head while she tried to clear her thoughts. This was the first examination, and she studied this last night, and even a few times before with Hikari during sleepovers. But why was she having memory block NOW? She glanced up at the clock. There was thirty more minutes before the exam ended. She was only about halfway through the test, and she had left some questions unanswered.
Well, the truth was, she was too worried and shocked last night after her father's call that she probably didn't really pay attention to what she was reading. Her mind was too full and preoccupied with thoughts of how some Italian guy she never knew [or met] had picked her to marry in the future. In their future. Akira shuddered. The mere thought of her future with some faceless Italian guy was really freaking her out.
Then she remembered she was taking a test. Shit. I don't remember any of this. She skipped some more questions, and even just using educational guessing. She looked up at the clock. 20 minutes.
I can do this, I can do this, she chanted as she took a deep breath and read the next question. Some of it she knew, some she could remember, some she wasn't sure of, some she went over and over again on but still couldn't find the right answer to. She found herself being immersed in a pool of questions she remembered reading but couldn't remember the right details to.
Come on, think straight... You can't go any lower than sixth rank, she ordered herself. She began to focus a bit, but it would sometimes waver as she got paranoid over the ones she couldn't figure out.
Soon the bell rang.
"Time's up," the monitoring teacher announced. "Pass your papers forward."
"Akira, your paper?" Hikari asked. She was in front of Akira for the test.
"Wait, wait," she said as she guessed most of the ones she skipped. Then she hurriedly gave it to Hikari who looked concerned.
"Akira, did you finish the test..?"
"Yes, I did."
"..Are you sure?" Hikari gave her a look of disbelief and worry.
"Yes, Hikari, I did, don't look at me like that!"
Soon everyone's attention was on her.
"Akira?" Tadashi asked.
Before planning what she would do, Akira got up from her seat and walked out the door.
"Hey!" The teacher screamed, following her only until the classroom door. "Come back here, Miss Todou!"
But Akira decided she wouldn't look back this time.
