Thursday, The first day of mid-term exams.
All the students are in their full uniform. Because if they're even the slightest bit careless, they'll get detained by the teacher and forced to dress properly immediately.
And today is quite lively at a certain level. There is even a stationary stall in front of the school entrance.
The merchants hope to reap profits from both this period and final exams have become a tradition after all these years.
Seems like the school itself did not have any problem. Just don't obstruct traffic.
Boom drove his bike with Beam on the back and parked it in the school parking lot. They removed their helmets then went to scan the card before heading to the school stadium used for school assembly in the morning.
Around the first pillar, Chompoo, who was in a school uniform, had reserved a seat for them earlier. So Boom doesn't have to sit with people he doesn't know, such as Beam's friends.
"Yo yo yo I'Boom, Which part of music subject and ICT is in the test?"
"You haven't read it, have you?"
"Bitch! I did not!"
"See? You should stop being a slut and focus more on study"
"I ain't a slut! Just tell me which part of them are in the test, You asshole"
"Chapter 1-4 for music and chapter 2-3 for ICT"
"Thank you"
Chompoo took out a book and immediately opened it to read through with light speed. It was better to just see it than never see it at all.
*flip flip flip* The sound of paper flipping through the wind is loud enough to penetrate Boom and Beam earphones.
They looked at each other and turned to Chompoo before Beam began to fold a piece of paper, lift it above her head and...
*BANG*
"HOLY SHIT!?"
"Got'em"
*Bam* The siblings give each other a high five while trying their best to hold a laugh. As for Chompoo, She just simply said 'Yall fucking bastard' to them.
Not long after, The teacher blew a whistle and told the student to get in the line.
The marching band arrived to play the national anthem, because this school doesn't use a speaker for some reason.
After singing the national anthem, morning prayers and listening to the director's useless blessings, All the students start rushing to their class.
The exam for this school is quite difficult. The minimum criteria is 60% and if you fail the exam, the retake exam is much more difficult than this.
Oh, and for a person who said 'Can retake in mid-term' always dies in this situation.
"Room.....312"
Building 3, 1st floor, Room 2 is the examination location.
When he takes a look at the student list in front of the room, it seems there's about half of it that Boom recognizes. Which is a good thing because if he were randomly put in a room without any acquaintance, He would be fucked.
"Um....."
One of the student names at the bottom of the paper has caught Boom's eyes.
"Suwimon Methinee..." (Su-wi-mon Mey-thi-nee สุวิมล เมธินี)
That's Lifa's full name.
He took a look around but couldn’t find her. Maybe she's already in a room.
"First exam is Thai...Let get this shit over with"
◇◇◇
11:00Am. Lunch time
This is when all the students will head to the cafeteria to have lunch and form a group study.
As well as Boom's group
They went to the garden behind the school nurse office like usual. Plus, Lifa joined them.
And the first thing Boom said to Lifa is
"You again?"
"Yep, It's me again"
"She literally made her way through the crowd. You should treat her nicely next time"
Chompoo said sarcastically while eating her fried sausage. Tar, who sits next to her, gets up and goes to sit next to Boom.
"How was the exam?"
"Fuck it, I don't know what in the shit had got into them while they making the exam. Bitch, it isn't match what the teacher told us to read"
"That's normal"
Completely normal, for real.
"That 30th question in Thai exam made me fucking froze"
"Goddamn, I thought you might froze at the first question, man"
Boom and Tar took an exam in a different room so they didn't see each other's reaction. So, it's not too strange if they wanted to ask at lunch time.
"Really? I think it's quite easy"
"Would be really funny if you failed"
"...I'll pass this exam, I absolutely will."
For some reason Lifa suddenly paused before speaking. Boom sensed something a bit off but chose to remain silent.
"How was the math?"
"I'll say it, This time I'm sure"
"Bro is definitely cooking, you confident you'll pass?"
"I'll failed"
HaHa The 2 of them bro fist each other for the joke, And Chompoo just mumble 'Aren't you guys bored at this shit?'.
"Boom...Can you do me a favor?"
"Which is?"
"Can you...teach me how to make a joke?"
"...What?"
Not just Boom, Tar and Chompoo themselves also exclaimed 'Huh?'.
"Why?"
"Well...When I'm with the other, they just tell jokes all the time and I don't know how to make one.."
"So you want me to help?"
"Yes"
The face full of joy and pressure now staring at Boom. He and Tar are staring at each other before agreeing to help her.
"Ok, What should we start with?"
"Let's start with the basics. You have to be thoughtful, analytical and identify. Then you need to squeeze out every single word in your brain and make a joke out of it"
"Damn, You take this more serious than I thought"
..........
"That's for today. Don't forget to try it out"
"Ok!"
Lifa responded with a cheerful expression and returned to the exam room.
"Are you sure with this, I'Boom?"
"That shitty joke is quite offensive, ya'know?"
"It'll be fine, trust me"
Meanwhile, At Lifa exam room.
"Yo, Lifa!"
"Howdy!"
One of the male classmates greeted her. So she greeted him back with a bright face.
"I have a great joke this time"
"For real!? Tell me"
"You know what you and the wheel at the back of the jeep have in common?"
"Uh....I don't know?"
"You both are just a secondary!"
"....."
That classmate suddenly went quiet and the people around tried their best to hold their laughter.
"Uh...Are you ok?"
"Secondary...Just a secondary..."
He is still mumbling for some reason. Suddenly another male classmate approached. He might be this guy's friend.
"Hey, Lifa. He just got rejected from his crush"
"...I'm sorry"
"There's no need to apologize to him. Get up! The exam is about to start"
And he just got dragged by his friend to the exam. When she looked around she found all the people just giving her a thumbs up.
◇◇◇
The last exam is English.
It’s Boom and Beam’s specialty. Because both of them had been studying this since kindergarten and had reviewed it often, they had quite an advantage basically.
Everyone took the exam quickly because the teacher said that classic 'anyone who completes the exam first can leave' lines. And it made the exam room become empty in only 5 minutes.
Boom leaves the room while stretching his muscle from exhaustion before heading to the cafeteria to find something to eat.
He bought a set of raw mango with chili and salt and went to eat at a nearby table.
There are still some students here to buy snacks during this period of time. However, most of them seem to be targeted by a school cooperative to buy some school supplies.
This school cooperative is relatively small, located at the middle of the front of the cafeteria for easy entry and exit, and can also be used as a divider between the left and right entrances of the cafeteria.
But the products inside are complete for students whether it's a pencil, pen, notebook, eraser, drawing board, even mobile top-up kiosk(Most of which are used to buy items in games).
The store has a rule prohibiting bringing in school bags to prevent theft and reduce crowding, So all the bags must be placed on the front table instead.
After eating for a while, the mangoes ran out. So Boom uses his finger to eat the chili and salt instead.
"Yo, I'Boom. Can I have some...What?"
"You're slow poke"
Tar and Chompoo arrived after completing the exam and rushed out to steal Boom's mango but it was too late.
"What are the tests for tomorrow?" asked Chompoo.
So Boom brought out his phone and looked at the exam schedule in the group chat.
"Uh...science, music/dance/art, home economics and history"
"Tomorrow is easy peasy"
Because the main subjects like math, thai, english and social study have been taken today.
"Which subject you think you'd fail?"
"Math"
"I think it's quite easy"
"Shut the hell up, I'Poo"
"Say the one who knew an exam from tutoring school and didn't share.."
'I'm sorry, ok?' Chompoo mumble. Because everyday after school she had to travel to study in a tutoring school, If not she won't survive in this school.
Beam arrived with grilled chicken skin not long after.
"Hey, bro, how's the exam?"
"Fucking hard, what about you?"
"Same, someone even got caught cheating too"
"Damn, That's tough"
Speaking of cheating, it's completely normal in every school. Because someone might not have time to study(Or they are just lazy)like the other and with the highly difficult exam. They have to use this method as a last resort.
As for the school's anti-cheating system, it can be said that it is quite secure. But there are still some parts that can be secretly entered, But sadly it didn't make it to the end.
"What about P'Lifa?"
"I don't know, I still saw her taking an exam when I'm leaving"
"Ok...She wants to be a top dog, I suppose?"
The 4 of them chatted for a while. Before Boom and Beam decided to leave.
When they arrived at the parking lot. Beam saw Lifa waiting for her personal ride on the sidewalk in front of the school.
"I'll be right back"
"?"
Beam walked up to Lifa to talk without waiting for Boom to reply.
"Hey, sis"
"?...Oh, Hey Beam"
"How was the test?"
"Although it's harder than I thought, I think I can do it. I'll have to go back and study more"
"Really? Very different from my brother. He just playing games all the time"
The 2 of them laughed, before getting rev'd by Boom bike engine right after his arrival.
"You're not any better, Beam"
"Can't you just stay quiet bro?"
"Same goes to you"
"Wait wait wait, Let's just calm down ok?"
"We're already calmed"
The sibling answered at the same time. Then, Beam hopped onto Boom bike.
"What about this time?"
"You mean...?"
"Wanna hop in?"
"Oh no, thank you. My driver will be here soon"
"Ok...See you tomorrow then"
"Have a safe trip"
*Vroooommm* Boom rev his engine before leaving.
"You even bothered to ask her if she wanted to hop in?"
"Hmph, If I don't ask she'll get upset again"
"Upset? She's not that weak, ya'know?"
"I don't care, I just assume she is"
"What a jerk"
"What did you say?"
"Nothing ~"
After driving and scolding each other for a while. The siblings arrived at home and continued with their daily routine, not caring that there was another exam tomorrow.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oLWtba4aE
