Forecast… Cloudy

The dreaded day had finally arrived; the day I had been fearing for the last few days was here… MIDTERMS! To be honest, I was as ready as I wanted to be, but after my nightmare last night… to say that I was out of it was an understatement. I had never experienced that moment in my inter life, so why would I dream about it… and what in the hell is the Fall? I didn't think that it truly mattered in any event… it still scared me though, it seemed all too real; then again, some dreams just do that to you. Anyway, I sighed as I looked up at the clouds, it wasn't supposed to rain today, but knowing weather, the sky could have opened up at that exact moment. I was starting to get lost in my worries when I heard a familiar voice call out to me. "Morning…"

I turned around to see Chie run up to my side. "Exams are finally starting today… Really life's harsh…"

"I don't think so," I smiled as I placed a hand on her shoulder. She smiled back at me; we both had yesterday on our minds it would seem. Even for all the shit that was running through my head, it seemed like I was almost always thinking about Chie. Not in a creepy way, just little things about her, like the way she usually had a bounce in her step as she moved normally. "Besides, I helped you study didn't I, you should do great… wait, other than with me, did you study?"

Chie sobbed a little as she looked up at me. "Can't you tell? Do I look like I'm ready?"

"No."

"That's about right…" Chie sighed as we kept walking to school. "Oh yeah! I almost forgot, do you think that Em… um, Em-senpai will have to take the exams…?"

"Even if she does," I looked back to the sky, letting out a long sigh I looked back to Chie. "She'll pass, she always does…"

Chie just tilted her head at me; I didn't want her to worry about anything, so I just smiled back at her. "Hey, are you okay Kreed… you know you can tell me just about anything right?"

Damn! She's good, my smile faded and I looked in Chie's eyes as we reached the gates of school. "I know… I trust you Chie Sotanaka, with all my heart and that other clichéd stuff."

Chie smiled at me once again, I couldn't bring myself to though, I had a feeling that my nights were about to get much worse…

Time Change: Early Morning to Morning

Midterms Day 1

I leaned forward in my chair looking over the answers to the test, I was barely paying any attention to the questions that were on the test, I was almost done with my test until I noticed a question that seemed familiar to me… What is it called when muscles grow after exercise? The choses that were give where: A. Overgrowth B. Overcompensation or C. Overexertion. I rolled my eyes at how ironic it was that the person who gave this question was currently watching over the class. Still I didn't even look at the test for the answer I chose.

What is the year before 1 A.D. called? Okay I didn't even need to look at the test to answer that one… really? Well, no wonder Yosuke ain't the sharpest tool in the shed! This point was really proven when I heard Yosuke's voice whisper behind me. "Hey, Kreed?"

"What!?" I almost turned around and slapped him! We were testing! I don't want to get in trouble because he could keep his mouth shut! "We are in the middle of a test! Can't it wait!?"

"I just wanna know," Yosuke's voice got so quite that I couldn't really hear him. "What's the answer to number forty-five?"

Forty-five was the question I was currently on. I sighed at how stupid he was being, I looked over at Chie, she looked like she was completely focused on finishing this test to the point that she didn't even hear us talking! "Zero B.C."

"Oh duh!" Yosuke almost slapped his forehead with how stupid he thought he was, I sighed and put down my answer and continued with the testing. Yosuke had just proved that his intellect was a low trait that he possessed…

Forecast… Cloudy

Midterms day 2

I was again just blazing through all the questions on the test, not even paying attention to the answers I wrote down, this was getting to be almost too easy! I was almost done with my test when I heard a slickly sound rise from my stomach… Chie and Yosuke stared at me for a moment, I sank into my chair; I had forgotten to eat that morning. The many reason was because I was running late, I barely made it into the class room on time to take the exam! "Was that you?"

"No Yosuke it was tiger next to you!" I half growled at him. "I didn't have any time to eat this morning!"

"And lunch isn't for another forty-five minutes," Chie sighed next to me. She pulled something out of her jumper's jacket, it kinda looked like gum, but it smelled like meat. "Here, to help tie you over."

"Um…" I inspected the gum-meat… stuff closely, I nodded at Chie and threw a piece in my mouth when I determined that is was safe to eat. "Than-"

"Kreed? Are you okay?" I stopped, oh my god! This was horrible! This didn't even taste right, why would anyone even make something like this! Well, one good thing came out of the gum… I finished my test quicker than I ever had…

Forecast… Sunny in the Morning, mostly Cloudy in the evening

Midterms day 3

After yesterday… I, I almost didn't show up to take the test, that day scared me for life! I would never take another piece of gum from Chie again… Still, time waits for no one, so I went to school to take the exams, which I was once again blazing through all of them. Everyone in the investigation had thought I was a genius! Really, I just wanted to get the test over with… I was on the last page of the exam when… SNAP! I looked down at my pencil, the damn thing broke… King Moron, who was watching the class this day of the exam, heard it to. "HEY! That better not have been signal for the answers to the test! Damn brats!"

I rolled my eyes at him, asshole! I reach for one of my other three pencils, I continued to take the exam, and after three questions… SNAP! Are you kidding me? What the hell? King Moron heard the pencil break… again. "Hey! What did I just say!? If I found out who is making that sound, they will get a zero on their test!"

Chie looked over at me, she was worried, but I just shrugged and reached for another pencil. Yet, luck was not on my side, I was one the last two questions, when… SNAP! WHAT THE FUCK!? THIS IS BULLSHIT! Now I was kinda pissed off! There is no way in hell this should be happening, though lady luck must have had some sympathy, because King Moron didn't turn to look for the sound this time. I reached for my last pencil and finished my exam. Sighing I set my pencil down on my desk, turned in my exam and went to sit down. Chie looked at me again, I was calm again. "You okay?"

"Yeah," I smiled at her. "No big deal, after all one pencil surv-"

I spoke way too soon; I didn't hear the first sound, but the second one I heard clearly… SNAP! I looked to the ground next to my desk; my last pencil that I owned currently landed led first into the ground. I looked up to the ceiling of the class room. "Fuck you god… just fuck you!"

Forecast… Cloudy

Final day of Midterms

Today was the day I had been waiting for! The last day of exams! Hell, Yosuke didn't even show up! Yet, they wanted a freaking essay about you… I was the last person left to take the exam… I had no idea what to write about myself, I looked around the room for something, after about an hour of thinking… I finally started the essay with: Can you be scared of death, if you tried to invite it in?

Time Change: Morning to After School

"FINALLY!" I practically jumped out of my desk the moment the bell rang for the end of the school day. "That was freaking torture!"

"You can say that again." I just about had a heart attack when I heard Yosuke speak up from behind me.

"Jesus Christ!" I started to breath heavy and held a hand over my heart. "WHERE THE HELL DID YOU COME FROM!?"

"Huh?" Yosuke shrugged. "Oh, well, I figured that my score really wouldn't change if I showed up for the last day, so… I didn't show up."

"Dude!" I face palmed at Yosuke, he really was an idiot. "It was a personally fucking essay! All you had to do was write about some boring thing in your life!"

"Wh-what!?" Now Yosuke noticed how stupid he was!

"Hey," Chie actually growled at us from her desk next to me. "Quiet down! So, what did you write for number seven? The one about what 'that' referred to in the sentence."

She was talking to Yukiko about the answers to the test, well, not like it was the ACT's where that was actually illegal! Still, me and Yu just shrugged hearing to girls talk. "Um… I put 'her sorrowful expression.'"

Yukiko was actually write on that question, but Chie could have been too, don't believe me, well, here was her answer. "Oh crap, then I got it wrong! I put, 'the rice cakes on top of the table.'"

See, told you! Still, not like Chie was ever really gonna need English in her life. "Rice cakes…? Wait, was that what the story was about…?"

"Maybe," I shrugged, braving the fact that they didn't say that I had the right to remain silent. "Usually, they're supposed to give you different test so that you can't cheat… but then again, I don't really know how this school system works…"

"Alright, I'm giving up on composition." Chie looked gloom now, I felt bad for her, we actually did get some studying in, just not as much as we should have, but still… she tried right. "I'm gonna bet it all on geography!"

She looked to me, a smile on her face again. Crap, I really didn't wanna be asked anything about the exam… "What did you choose for the tallest mountain in the solar system?"

"I, uh… think I put Mt. Olympus…" I rubbed the back of my head; I really didn't mean to let the next part slip… I knew I was gonna get questioned on this later. "I really didn't pay attention to the answers I put down… but I still think I put down Mt. Olympus."

"Oh, seriously!?" Chie seemed shocked now, my guess, she got it wrong. "I chose the wrong one…"

Logic three, me eight now! BOOM! At least I think it's eight, meh, anyway! Yu spoke up from next to Yosuke. "I chose that one too."

"So did I." Yukiko also spoke up, yep, the three geniuses… what!? Hey, I'm smarter than I look okay! Still, I didn't think I was gonna get a good grade, not that I cared if I did or not. Still, Yosuke seemed shocked that the three of us got the same answer.

"Whoa, you too!?" His voice quickly became almost depressed. "Then it's probably the right answer if all three of them got it… Boy, I can't wait for our grades to be posted out in the hall where everyone can see 'em. Geez…"

"WHAT!?" This time I actually did jump out of my seat! "THEY CAN DO THAT!? WHAT THE FU- I mean hell…"

"Yeah," Yosuke looked back at me. "You didn't know that?"

"Of course not!" Now, I was really worried! "This is gonna suck…"

"Hey, did you hear?" This time it was a random student that spoke up, and we… just being who we are, started to ease drop. "A TV station's filming here in town."

His friend didn't seem to excited about what he was saying, but still, we needed to listen for any rumors, lest someone get kidnapped again. "They're probably just doing more stuff about that hanging corpse case."

"No, it's not that. You know the highway nearby? They're gonna cover those biker gangs that hang around there. A friend of mine goes to the biker meetings sometimes. I heard it from him."

"Dude, what are you doing hanging out with a guy from a biker gang?"

The rest was nothing important other than it might rain tomorrow, but we all came back out of their conversation and into one of our own. Yukiko was the first to speak, and she seemed confused. "Biker gang?"

"Oh yeah…" Chie didn't seem too happy to be on this subject, I guess I was far enough away from them, that I couldn't hear anything, but still. "They raise a ruckus from time to time. I guess your place is too far away to hear 'em."

"We live right by the road." Yosuke decide that he could put his two cents in, but the more info we have the better, even if this was just about something stupid. "The noise can drive you insane."

"I hear some guys at this school are part of it, too." Chie was in rumor mode now, great, way to go random kids next to us.

"I can't really hear them from where I'm at." I shrugged, but this could be a problem, one of them could be targeted, because who wants to save a biker… right? "But, at one of my old schools, there was a biker gang. They were always getting into trouble with the cops…"

"Yeah," Yosuke seemed surprised that I knew people who were in a biker gang. "You didn't seem like the type to do that kinda stuff."

"Dude!" I smacked him on the back of the head. "I never said I was part of it! Besides, I never talked to any of them."

"Well," Yosuke rubbed the spot that I had smacked. "I know there are some rumors about a first-year student here who's a total hellraiser. One of the guys working at Junes said the dude's been a legend ever since middle school. Although… Was he in a biker gang…?"

Yukiko's eyes lit up like Christmas tree as the words left Yosuke's mouth. "D-did you say he was a legend?"

I almost face palmed at that comment, really Yukiko… really? Chie felt my pain as well. "Uh, it's not what you think, Yukiko…"

I whispered to Yu. "I guess she really is looking for a prince."

Yu had to stop himself from laughing so that we didn't get killed by Yukiko. I pulled out my phone and sighed… "This sucks…"

"What's up?" Yosuke looked at me. I put my phone back into my pocket. "I got a text a few minutes ago. I gotta get a room ready in my house for my sister to stay in… yeesh, I'm not sure that there will be room for all of her stuff though… especially her guitar…"

"Wait," Chie looked at me with confusion on her face. "I thought she was a photographer?"

"Yeah," I sighed at her, this was weird to talk about my sister… "She does, but she really likes playing the guitar as well, the only problem is that she doesn't really like people to know that…"

"Oh." Everyone just kinda looked to the group when I finished talking.

"So," I started to walk to the door. "I'll text ya guys later!"

With that I was out the door and way to do chores… fuuuuuun… Not!

Well, this is a little earlier than I thought that I would finish up this chapter, but still… not like anyone's complaining right? So, hope you enjoyed and please send me your feed back!
