The school year was drawing to a close and a foe Kuwabara hadn't really expected reared its ugly head. Finals. If he didn't pass his finals he'd end up in summer school, and there were few things he could think of that were worse.
"Maybe we could steal the answers to the tests?" Sawamura suggested.
Kuwabara glared at him. "We can't do that! Stealing is wrong, and you know it."
Sawamura sulked a little at the reprimand. "I know, but how else are we going to pass?"
Silence met his question. Finally, Okubo tentatively offered, "I guess we could study?"
The others stared at Okubo in horror. That sounded awful. Finally Kuwabara said, "I guess a few hours studying now is better than getting stuck in a summer class 'cause we failed."
"This sucks," Kirishima said. "At least we don't have to try for A's though. As long as we just pass we should be okay."
It was a small consolation, but it was better than nothing.
