Chapter 31: Cramming

After a fast shower, Sorcha hurriedly put on her school uniform. She picked up her bag, took a book out, and glanced on the mirror quickly. Upon seeing herself presentable, she nodded in satisfaction and then ran to the dining area.

She grabbed a piece of bread, took a sip on the milk beside, and said with a full mouth, "Mom, dad, I need to leave early today."

"Dear eat slowly!" Aria said to her daughter.

"Sorry mom, I really need to go!" She said.

She glanced at the half full glass of milk and decided to take one last gulp from the glass, then ran fastly to the car.

She opened the book she is holding, and skimmed through it while eating the bread. Today, is the first day of exams. Because her time is cut half from her training, she can only spend a shorter time to review. She is not worried though, she's confident about herself. Even before in her past life, she already have a photographic memory. Even if it isn't as miraculous as remembering everything, atleast she could remember most of what she had read.

After a long ride, Sorcha finally was able to arrive in school. It seems she is earlier for about thirty minutes. She put another book on her table, and crammed. Skimming through the books, and checking out her notes sometimes, she stayed like that until all her classmates arrived.

"Look, she probably didn't study at home. Just reading her books right now." A girl whispered to her seatmate.

"She's probably too lazy. It's not like we do not have a weekend to review." Another girl whispered.

Sorcha can actually hear them, but she chose to just ignore them. She's too old, to bother with childish students.

"Hey you! So what if she's just reviewing right now!" Rica suddenly shouted and confronted the two girls. Putting both of her hands on her hips.

"What? We didn't say anything wrong. Isn't she really cramming right now?" The girl retorted with raised eyebrows.

"You!! It's fine if it's Sorcha because she's intelligent already! But if it's you, I bet even if you study for a year, that brain of yours will still remain as big as a pea!" She angrily said.

"Hmph!" The two girls just snorted and ignored Rica.

Sorcha sighed upon seeing her friend, and felt moved, "Rica, it's fine." She said.

"Ah! I just hate people who have nothing else to do but speak ill of others!" Rica harrumphed.

Luke then arrived, and was able to hear everything.

"Sorcha, don't mind them. But are you really only able to study right now?" He asked worriedly. Edmund also worriedly looked at Sorcha.

"Yes. But don't worry, I'll be fine." She replied while smiling at them.

"Hmph! Too arrogant." The girl a while ago blurted out.

"Hey you pig!" Rica shouted once again. Luke and Edmund also glared at the girl, then, looked again at Sorcha.

"Goodluck to us! I trust that you'd be able to pass the tests easily." Luke said to her.

"Mm." Sorcha nodded to reassure her friends.

Chapter 32: Exams

After the test paper were distributed by the proctor, Sorcha immediately focused her whole attention on it.

The first exam is Mathematics, her favorite subject. She finds it really useful, especially since people can't use their instincts all the time. Math helps you in making logical decisions. The formulas are tools for people to simplify the way of solving problems.

Sorcha was able to finish the test fastly and easily. When she was done, she glanced for a bit to her friends. Luke seems to be especially troubled, scratching the back of his ears with an ugly look. On the other hand, Rica is answering the exam, though not as fast as Sorcha, but her face shows that she's still doing it with ease. Lastly, Edmund is answering the test proficiently, and is almost done as well.

Sorcha stood up. She gave her papers to the proctor, who just nodded his head at her, then placed it on his table. "You'll know the results after all the exams are done." He said as Sorcha returned to her seat to take her things away.

While she's walking back, she heard someone sneered at her. It was the girl a short time ago, which Sorcha doesn't find surprising. She just took her bag and went outside, to wait for her friends to finish.

While she was waiting, she saw Ryan approach her.

She smiled a bit then greeted him. "Hello Mr. Ryan."

Ryan smiled back and brushed her head, then asked, "How's the exam? Easy?"

"Hmm." Sorcha shrugged neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

"Haha I'm sure it was easy for you." He said.

Then after a short while, the three other kids finally left the classroom. They saw them talking with each other, and proceeded towards them.

"Hi Mr. Ryan." Rica said happily, while Luke just nodded his head at Ryan with a dejected face.

"Sigh, It was too difficult! How could they give a hard exam when they only teach us how to answer simple problems!" He complained.

Edmund released a soft laugh, at him and said, "Yeah"

Edmund finally started to feel more relaxed with them. Though, he's still quiet, at least he joins in the conversation once in a while.

"See? Edmund agrees with me." Luke grumbled.

"Tut-tut that's because you don't listen to class well." Rica mocked him.

"Was it my fault that the lessons are boring?" Luke replied.

Ryan looks at them while smiling. It feels nice to look at these children getting along well. But, suddenly he frowned.

"Someone really thinks highly of herself. Only studied for the exam this morning, but she's still the first to pass her test papers." A girl said, though she didn't say it loudly, it was still heard by many.

"She just probably couldn't answer anything, so she just decided to give up early." The other girl on her side said.

"Heh, you're probably right." Then they walked away, after glancing at Sorcha contemptuously.

"What the cow is their problem?! Sorcha didn't even do anything to them." Rica exclaimed with furrowed brows.

"Just let them be." Sorcha calmed her down. Who knows? Maybe this war freak kid would suddenly lash at them.

"Hmmph! They're just too irritating!" Rica replied, while gnashing her teeth.

"What's happening? Are they bullying you?" Ryan asked, with a serious expression.

"No. Don't worry." Sorcha said. Not really caring about it.

"Tell me if they went overboard. I will not tolerate it." Ryan said, sternly.

Sorcha felt warm with all her friends concern for her. She didn't want to worry them any further. It was but an act of childishness, not something worth bothering about. So she just nodded her head, then said, "Okay."
