Sorry, I did it again, actually a friend made me get of my ass and start writing again. Thanks to them.

Merlin felt awkward, he was sat at a desk with Arthur facing him on another desk whilst an envelope of Arthur's grades sat open in front of him.

"Arthur?"

"Mhm?"

"What the hell I am doing here?"

Arthur just smiled and returned to focussing his gaze onto a sheet of paper, covered in circle theorems, in front of him.

The analog clock on the wall was so loud and Merlin didn't know where to look, so he just stared at the paper with Arthur's grades on it.

Physics: B

Biology: B

Chemistry: B

Maths: D

The words 'heavy subjects' crossed Merlin's mind, before he turned his attention to the teacher's comments:

Physics: A pleasure to teach.

Biology: A pleasure to teach.

Chemistry: A pleasure to teach.

Maths: Could do better.

The teachers obviously knew how much of an influence the Pendragon family were on society, even their terrifying physics teacher was being nice.

Silence, the kind of exam silence that everybody hates. Merlin started to rock on his chair, before checking his phone, just to see if anyone (mainly Leo) had texted him.

Nothing.

He wondered what she was doing, usually she texted him about her hatred for parties the next morning, because she knew he would be hungover, but this time, there was nothing.

Abruptly, Merlin's peaceful state was destroyed by the high-pitched ringing of an alarm. Thinking it was the fire alarm he stood up, ready to run when he noticed Arthur looking at him.

"What are you doing, you beanpole?" Arthur saw Merlin's terrified expression and realised, "It's the alarm to say my time for the maths exam was up."

The expression change on Merlin's face was amazing, one second he was a rabbit caught in the M25* and the next he was sleeping in a spa. Before it suddenly became the rabbit again.

"There was a test?"

"Not for you, you clotpole, for me, you were the examiner."

Merlin replied with a very short, and very direct, "What?"

"Just mark this." Arthur handed him the exam paper he had been writing on for the past 20 minutes. "There should be an answer sheet in the desk."

After ten minutes the test had been marked and the grade passed onto Uther.

Arthur and Merlin stood stiffly in the small room.

"Do you want to go?"

"I think that would be best."

As they made their way out of the building, Merlin suddenly remembered to check his phone, but there was still nothing, no texts from Leo, no missed calls from her either.

"Is it weird that Leo hasn't texted me?"

"What? She always does though."

"I know, do you know where she is?"

"Weren't you the last to see her?"

"What do you mean Arthur?"

"None of us saw her go last night."

A feeling of panic started to flood through the boy's bodies.

"I'm just going to text her to make sure she's okay."

Arthur agreed.

Hey, Leo, r u ok? C u at the flat yh?

[MESSAGE SEND FAILURE]

The two boys looked at one another, and without a single word they ran out of the gates and towards Merlin and Leo's flat.

O

*M25, a really busy (constantly full of traffic) motorway in the UK, it's famous for ALWAYS (seriously, always) being full of traffic-jams. It runs around London, in a circle, so when talking about road direction they always say, "Anti/Clockwise on the M25 is blocked from junctions 1-8," You try and avoid best you can.

Thanks for reading, please review I do a happy dance when you do, and give me some criticism to, I need to improve, even if you guys are lovely!
