Chapter 55: Passing Grades

"Seems as though some things have changed".

Sunset was in Dorm 37 after her dormmate quit the group because of conflicts surrounding her actions towards the red and yellow-streaked haired girl. Sunset's redemption was a large feat to overcome, and no more was that apparent than inside of her. She knew she had to change, and thus decided to. T.J was in the dorm too, with his friends in class. Things were just too bizarre for the most part, as the red and yellow-streaked haired girl was busy easing pressure on bad events such as being treated as a servant. Such pastures were imminent and and some were disclosed. Sunset began to speak to T.J aout the upcoming events coming up in the month.

"T.J". The red and yellow-streaked haired girl spoke, grasping the attention of him.

"Huh...". The Third Street veteran answered. "Yeah...".

"Do you ever feel like something is about to happen in the month?".

"Uhh...what are you talking about?".

"The academy exam month of anxiety and screw-ups".

"I didn't even get told about this process".

"I know. I just feel like I have to sit there and do the work. Should I be worried or should I be focused?".

"I dunno. You're personal preference, I guess". T.J sat back and read his favourite book.

"I guess so". The red and yellow-streaked haired girl sighed at the fact that she might not be able to do the exam, but one of her best friends might. Could it possibly be this way? Of not knowing what t expect? Does this mean of all greater impacts be lost if one were to fail the exam test? She was not sure of it, but the images kept spiralling around her head at supersonic speeds. She thought about Applejack practising the very papers while in the library, but that was practising. Who knows what might be up against her, or her friends as so it may seem. No. No more. She had to stay strong and fight for her and for her friendship. She got up and excited the dorm, T.J still reading his book.


In Dorm 49...

"Might as well get this exam done and go back to the way things were intended to be". Applejack said, grabbing her bag and was ready to go to the auditorium. "This paper is going to be as much hard than last year".

"Well...you're the only one that is doing this. So good luck". Pinkie responded.

"Thank you, Pinkie Pie. I just wish that Sunset was here to give me the support I needed before I go".

"Don't worry". Smurfette eased the pressure. "She will. She always turns up on time to give you support".

"True. But she's later than usual".

"Just don't rush to conclusions". Twilight replied. "Whether or not she'll give you the right support or not will determine you passing grades".

"I know, but I'd like all of my friends to wish me the best of luck, not just almost".

"I know, it's sad that it had to be that way. But on the bright side, you'll be in Science classes with me".

"That's true. We work really well together. Alright, I think I got the right support I needed".

"Sorry I'm late". Sunset panted as she ran towards the dorm door. "Applejack. You're going to need this".

"Thank you, Sunset".

"I know. Good luck out there. It's a bigger feat than last year".

"And a lot harder".

"Alot harder because...".

"Well...you see...I'm passing grades so I get to be with the smart students, and as planned because Vice-Principal Luna looked at my portfolio and wanted to move me up a level".

"Nice...anyway. Like I said, good luck".

"Thanks. I'll do my best".

And so, Applejack waved goodbye to Twilight, Sunset and co. and proceeding to the auditorium where Mrs Harshwinny was seated, with some other students who were lucky enough to move up one level. She took no time in getting there, and when she did, she took a seat and took her time in getting ready, Mrs Harshwinny knowing about the farm girls' attendance. Applejack got her pen out and proceeded to the first page. Taking her time to answer every possible GCSE question as she could, she knew it was harder feat than last year, just by looking at what she had to show with. Instruction booklets were there to help her, and the farm girls' pressence of exposure was imminent, rubbing her forehead when needed. Mrs Harshwinny was observing the entire auditorium, the students and Applejack, as she was to make no mistake in watching the whole class do what was asked to. Applejack looked to her left and saw Trixie, but wasn't bothered in making contact with her. She looked over to her right and saw Octavia, but again wasn't bothered to make contact with her. She continued to work out the remainning answers and time passed and passed and things were really heating up (Literally). Mrs Harshwinny noticed this and plugged in a fan, destined to keep the students warm. Minutes passed and few students were already finished, thus taking the paper to Mrs Harshwinny and leaving without saying a word. Applejack was near-perfected with the exam, writing in one last answer that was appropriate and turning the paper in. She put her stuff in her bag and proceeded to leave, Mrs Harshwinny waiting until all of the students were gone so she could check the work to decide wether or not to move studnets up a level. The farm girl sighed in relief, knowing she took an hour in there. Applejack had to go back to Dorm 49 to tell the other girls the news, and so she did, taking in no time to get there. And when she did, she opened the door and spoke.

"Howdy girls".

"Applejack". Rarity answered. "How was it? Did you pass?".

"Did you get super exhausted in sitting there for an hour?". Pinkie asked.

"Was it too hard than expected?". Vanellope asked.

"Whoa, nelly! One at a time!". The farm girl replied. "I did alright in there, though the instillation was too hot that Mrs Harshwinny had to whip up a fan to keep us cool. I did good, considering that a few questions gave me anxiety and needed to think frantically about what I should put down. Other than that, I think I did good enough to move up a level".

"That's great". Twilight responded. "I'm so proud of you, Aj".

"Yeah...don't we know it". The farm girl blushed.

And thus, the farm girl decided to stay in the dorm to relax from all of the cramps she had got from all of the writing.


That's the end of this chapter. Applejack waiting for the exam results and wether or not she'll be moving up in a talking point after she had relaxed. What will happen next? Read on to find out. Please review.
