Chapter 13

Tommy woke up at 5 and ate a large breakfast, even for him. It's important to have a very nutritious breakfast before major tests such as these. At the bus stop, no one said anything. Everyone was on edge because of the tests, except for Tommy. He was completely relaxed and confident that he would ace the test. "What are you guys so worried about? These tests are gonna be a piece of cake." He said.

"Maybe to you Tom, but we are not bonified geniuses like you." Replied Phil.

"Hey it's not my fault. I didn't ask to be a genius."

"Sorry, it's just that I was up all night studying for these damn exams. One s day though means I can go home after I finish and study some more. Greeeeeeeeaaaaaaaat."

"Hey it's not all bad. It only takes about an hour or so. That means u don't have to spend the whole day studying. You can relieve some stress before starting."

"I guess you're right." The bus rolled up to the curb they all got in and sat down. Tommy said nothing deciding to give his friends this last moment of solitude before they are all forced through this horrible tradition of testing before the end of the year. Their parents had been forced through the same thing. It was a tradition that had no end in sight.

In the lobby of the school they posted a big list of all the students and what room their exams were being proctored in. They had not been placed in the same rooms. Everyone was in a separate room, which was probably intentional. They all went their separate ways to take their first exam of the week, math. Tommy arrived at his room a few minutes early so he had to wait with everyone else outside the door to the room. They wouldn't let anyone in until 8.

When 8 o'clock rolled around everyone entered and looked for their assigned seats at the desks. Tommy was seated at the back, again intentional, probably to prevent anyone from cheating off of him. The proctor signaled that it was time to begin and everyone tore into their tests. Tommy took one look at the first question and chuckled to himself "This test is gonna be a piece of cake." He wrote the answer down. The test consisted of 100 open response questions and you were given three hours to complete the test, Tommy finished in 45 minutes. He handed in his test and walked out the door.

When he got outside he phoned home and asked his Dad to come and pick him up. He said that he would leave right away. He was kinda lonely seeing as everyone else was still slaving away at their tests trying to finish. What was strange, in his eyes, was that there were people who would need the three hours allotted to actually finish the test. Ten minutes later his Dad pulled into the parking lot. "Who'd the test go?" He asked.

"Easy as usual." Tommy replied.

"I suspected as much. What are you gonna do for the rest of the day?"

"I don't know, I was thinking that I would take a nap or something."

"Good Idea." When they arrived home Tommy walked up to his room and threw himself on the bed. He immediately fell asleep. He didn't wake up until Dil woke him up. "Tommy get up!" Dil yelled at his brother.

"What??" He asked.

"Dude, you've been asleep for like eight hours. Do you ever get enough sleep?"

"No not really."

"Whatever, anyway, its time for dinner. I know you won't miss a meal so lets go."

"I'll be right there." Tommy pulled himself out of bed and ran downstairs to the kitchen table. It was homemade pizza for dinner, and for desert, homemade apple pie. After dinner he spent about twenty five minutes studying for the earth science final tomorrow. That was more than enough for him. At nine he went to bed to have enough energy to last through the test.

The next day was no different from the first, no one said anything to each other and everyone was tense and stressed, you could cut the tension with a knife. Once again it took Tommy about 45 minutes to complete the test.

This was the routine for the entire week with History on Wednesday, Spanish on Thursday and English on Friday. Friday was also the last day of school. During the past few weeks the building was being slowly stripped down and the construction people had begun preparations to tear the building down after school was over. They were moving into a new building for the start of next year.

That night, Tommy's family and his friend's and their families all had a party to celebrate the end on the school year. Once again this summer, everyone was going their own way and doing their own thing sp they wouldn't see each other much. At the end of the party everyone said good bye to each other and wished them a good summer, it was a long one this year, school ended early and was starting late in September. After good byes, they all went their separate ways, knowing that they would not see each other until the start of next year.

A/N: This might not be the last chapter. I was inspired and am thinking about one more. And I will not put C/A in the next chapter. That shall be reserved for the sequal. I am writing a sequel so give me some more ideas about what to write (its ok to say somethings again). I hope that you enjoyed the story overall. Anyway review!!!!!
