Dear God, please help guide me through this critical ordeal. I need your blessing very much, for this is a matter of life and death. Please Lord, help me. Help me PLEASEEEEEEEE
Ken opened her left eye first, squinting as hard as she could while she scanned down the UNSF Pilot Enrolment Examination result list posted on the notice board in the Administration Building. She was halfway down the list when her friend, Alice who also took part in the exam screamed,almost close to that of a lunatic.
"YIIIIIIIEEEEEEAARRRHHHH!!!
Ken could feel her own heart skipped a beat when she did that. She ALWAYS do that when she's excited, which means...
"Wha-? What? WHAT?" Ken asked, although she'd already guessed what's it about. Especially when they're both looking for their names in the list.
"I passed! I freakin' passed the exam! I'm a fully-qualified UNSF cadet pilot now!" Alice replied, while still in her excitement, jumping up and down like a 10 year old.
On second thought, maybe a 7 year old.
"Well, congratulations, now would you please let me concentrate for my name here?"
"Sure," Alice answered her somewhat annoyed friend, smiling to herself turning round and round and round behind Ken.
Ken was starting to sweat, her index finger taking its last stride down the final column of names. And the finger fell of the list, lifelessly. She sighed in disappointment, her shoulders slumped as she turned to face Alice.
"I got booyakha'ed. Again."
Upon hearing the news, Alice paused for a while in silence. Ken was obviously not pleased to failed the test. Twice. Alice could feel her disappointment seaping through her.
"What? That's impossible, we'd been reading the same books, taking the same training from the same Mr. Butthead. Hell, we even had an overnight revision, there's no way you could fail it this time."
"That's what I've been thinking. I'm positive that I did well this time, I have all the facts locked into my brain cells. "
"Well, why not go ask the exam supervisor? I'm sure he knows how well we scored. Or how bad."
"Good idea. I'm going right away!"
Ken spun away from the notice board, opted to go straight to the administration office. Alice pulled her by her arm.
"Wait a minute, you aren't going WITHOUT me, your best friend, are you?" Alice said, giving her a cheeky wink.
"Of course not, you're going to follow me everytime I leave you behind; I don't need to think about going with or wthout you," Ken replied, doubling Alice's cheekiness.
"Oh you're a big meanie!"
"Ha And that's me!" Ken laughed, and started to break into a run. "Chase me!"
"Heeey! Wait up!"
Alice ran after the orange-coloured hair girl down the corridor, and tried to catch up to her.
