#Quistis' POV#
"Good morning class. Please log on to your desktop and get ready for the test. The test questions will be sent to your computer in 10 minutes, so please take the chance to go to the toilet or clear any doubts with me because you will not be allowed to leave the room or speak out loud except in the case of serious injury and illness or emergencies which require evacuation. The need to answer nature calls is not an excuse."
That had been followed by a unanimous groan from the class. Just as I'd expected. Not that I blamed them, I am no fan of tests myself. Well, since there is still 10 minutes before the test and nobody needs to ask me questions, I might as well just head to the cafeteria to grab my morning coffee.
As I walked out, an unfamiliar cadet came up to me and said "Sorry to disturb you, Instructor Trepe but Instructor Jameson told me to come to you to ask for some coaching in the usage of whips as you are the whip expert in Balamb Garden. Can you help me?"
"That's strange, Instructor Jameson did not inform me that he wishes me to coach you."
"Oh! He probably informed you through the computer system. He said that he would send you an email. Oh yes, I'm Lawrence Thornby. My student ID is 11235813."
"Alright, I'll coach you. I'm able to coach you on Wednesday afternoons. Are you able to come?"
"Yes, Wednesday afternoons would be fine. When do we start?"
"Errm, next Wednesday at 3.30pm. Please be punctual."
"Thank you, Instructor Trepe."
At least he is grateful for my help. Which is totally different from the usual cadets. [Shrug] Yipes, I'd better get my coffee as quickly as I can. The test is going to start within 7 minutes.
**************************************************
There is nothing better than coffee in the morning. Suddenly, Seifer elbowed past me and I almost dropped my morning potion. That jerk didn't even apologise. Of course, the sky would have fallen down if he actually apologized to people. Nevermind. I've gotta start the test anyway.
"Alright people, please return to your seats and I'll release the questions to you."
There was a great scramble to the seats.
"Everybody present? Good. Here are the questions. You have 2½ hours to complete the paper. Please do your best and good luck."
Silence befell the classroom. I should grab the chance to check out the cadet's information and read Instructor Jameson's email. Wonder why he wanted me to coach Thornby. Hmmm.
************************************************** Seifer's POV Time: The night before the exam.
Great! I still have some invisible chalk left. [Evil chuckle] Time to rub it onto Instructor's chair. Looks like somebody is gonna end up with a red butt. Thank god I did not get into trouble with the instructors on duty tonight. Well, they are used to my wandering around at night anyway. I'd better get the job over and done with. With some luck, she is gonna sit on the chair long enough to warm the chalk up and 'redden' her butt. Or perhaps I should make sure she actually sits on it. I can make up an excuse to make her sit on the chair. I should think about it.
**************************************************
(Ten minutes before the exam, Seifer's POV)
All right, time for me to go to the loo and get myself into this ridiculous outfit. God, it's so nerdy, I doubt Instructor would be able to recognize me. Which is good for the joke of course. Man, that Instructor sure needs to loosen up and I'm gonna loosen her up.
**************************************************
(Just before the test, in the loo. Seifer's POV)
Hurray! Mission accomplished! God, I can't believe that Quistis totally fell for it, hook, sinker and all! Ha! I'm such a genius. I'm so smart, I made 'Einstein' fall for such a simple trick. I can't wait till she gets out of her chair! I'll die of laughter! Oppps, I better run, the test is gonna start.
**************************************************
(Back to the classroom. Quistis POV)
* Hmmm. ah! Here's the email.That's strange.Why's Instructor Jameson sounding so odd?. Must be the result of "Looney Cheer" his favourite cereal, there is no other explanation for it.hmm?.Cadet Thornby is already quite a good whip expert himself, so why does he need coaching?*
'Buzzzzzz.' the timer rang, signaling the end of the test.
"Okay, it's time to submit the test paper. Anybody caught still doing the questions will be disqualified. Please note that you are not to breathe out any single one of the questions to anybody. Your result will be sent to you through the mailing system, along with your progress report, which will be out in two weeks. Any questions? If there isn't any, the class is dismissed."
Okay, time to log off. Gosh, I feel so stiff after sitting for so long. might as well go for a short walk in the Quad before I go for lunch since it's such a sunny day. I pushed in my chair and walked out of the room. Suddenly, the students behind me broke out in laughter. But I could not be bother with them, thinking that they were just laughing about some stupid new joke created by the jokers of the Garden. (Shrug.)
Strangely, everyone was laughing no matter where I went.
************************************************** Yes, it's reviewing time again. Sorry I took so long to update. As for the Quistis fans, a thousand apologies, but I have to make Quistis a bit more dumb than usual in order to keep the story going. In the next chapter, Quistis is gonna be on the war path so watch out. Harle^_^
