Ashley sat in her class room, the end of the year was fast approaching, a few weeks and her and her friends will be walking the road to graduation. The clock on the wall ticked by, second by second the annoying clock told of every student’s fate, the minute the bell rang the test would be done, life was set in stone. She glanced at her test; she’d been studying religiously for months trying desperately to retain all the information needed.

The words made sense, that was the lucky part, she wrote down her answers quickly than glanced up at the clock, she finished early, first time in her whole high school career, checking over every answer one more time she stood up and handed in her test and seeing how this was the last class of the day she was dismissed. She waited for the teacher to hand her back a piece of paper telling her if she passed or not, once getting it she headed for the door.

A quick glance over to Spencer, blue eyes met her brown; they shared an intense look before the blonde looked back down at her test, Ashley saw she was having trouble, either that or she just didn’t care to try, the brunette hoped for the first of the two. Once outside she saw Clay and Chelsea standing against the lockers, “How is she?” he asked quickly seeing Ashley approach.

“What no hi?”

“Sorry, hi, how is she?” Clay needed to know, the minute he finished his test he rushed all the way down here, the best thing about this test is you get to find out if you passed that day, hand it in, scanned by the computer, boom graded.

”I don’t know, sort of in space, don’t you want to know how I did?”

“Right, how did you do?” he folded his arms and tried to relax, the test still had at least forty minutes left.

“Well…” she lifted the piece of paper Chelsea squealed when she saw the gigantic red A- scribbled on it, her arms flung around Ashley.

“I’m so proud of you,”

“Huh Chels can’t breathe…”

“Sorry,” Chelsea released the other girl.
