Sakuno's eyes widened.
"You're the top scorer?"
Suna cringed. And Takeo could only look at him apologetically.
"You got the ninety-one?" She sped up and, with a look of absolute bewilderment and disbelief, repeated. "You?" The caffeine coursing through her system for the past few weeks desensitized her from her usual sense and agreeable temperament.
Suna sighed. Then, with his gaze directed at the path before him, simply said.
"Yes."
In total shock, Sakuno just froze where she stood, still unable to digest the news. To say their Introduction to Molecular Biology exam was difficult was an understatement. It had been downright impossible. She barely even passed. But before her – Suna and Takeo had to stop on their tracks, realizing the brunette suddenly did – was the curve breaker. The next highest mark that followed his was a seventy-two. Her nerves exploded at the thought. A seventy-two!
"We have to go, Ryuzaki-chan." Takeo called out. "My training's about to start."
Sakuno continued to look at, apparently, their class' top student who grew unnerved by all her staring.
"We have to leave, Ryuzaki-san." Suna repeated for his friend. "See you at Bio 101."
