Day 5: The Test
Today was test day for the Gr.8's and lets just say that neither of them were very happy about it. They were all so stressed about it that when they were ushered into the hall, not one person made a sound. As they sat down, they were all given a paper and a pencil.
"Okay people! You have 50 min to write this test. No talking, no laughing, no crying and no swearing. If you are caught cheating you're dead. Now start!" Marron ordered and the Gr. 8's started writing. And these are the questions they got:
1. Write all four verses of the school's anthem.
2. Write down all the rules about the school uniform – point form.
3. What are the colours of the school's flag and what does each colour
represent?
4. Write the name of your most feared Matrick.
5. Name 5 teachers and their favourite drinks.
6. How many plant species are on the sports field?
7. If you took all the sweets of the cafeteria – how many calories would
that be?
8. Who are the school clowns?
9. What's one plus one?
10.Write a 400-word essay on why you are writing this test.
Everyone could see the confused and frightened looks of those who are writing the tests. The Matricks could barely contain their laughter at how much the students are concentrating on this test.
After about half an hour Trunks and Goten walked into the hall.
"Hey Marron!" Trunks said loudly, making sure everyone could hear them. "What are they doing?"
"They're writing your test!" she yelled back
"Our test?" Goten asked confused. "We don't know anything about a test." Some of the Gr.8's started shifting around.
"Yeah, we don't know anything about a test." Trunks replied.
"Oh so you're saying that these newbies are writing a phoney test and that they had studied and stressed for nothing?" Marron asked, her voice carrying through the hall.
"That's exactly what we're saying!" The boys yelled and started laughing. The rest of the Matricks cried "GOT YOU!!" and they too started laughing. The newbies sat in shock and then slowly they started laughing.
And so ended another day of initiation. This time how ever everyone went home with a smile, although the newbies were a bit nervous about Monday because they were told that it would be the most difficult and most important day of their high school life.
