Surprise Test

"Is my face damaged?" I asked Taylor after Alex and his lackeys had left.

"Not that much but you'll need to get it treated," Taylor replied while checking my face.

The old Ryan was more good-looking than me, at least, he had long white hair that fell behind his face, a pointed nose, and a chiseled jaw. He had the features of a sixteen years old boy, unlike me who looked like a fourteen years old kid suffering from a disease.

This God-given face will I tend with care and not let it get damaged by anyone, not even during fights.

"Then what are we waiting for?" I asked as I stood up. "Let's go to the school clinic and get my face treated immediately."

Rina wanted to follow us but I disagreed.

"It's best if you go your own way now, we have nothing in common, please." After saying this to her, I left with Taylor.

"Do you think it's the best choice?" Taylor asked me after we might have left the canteen.

At this point, I didn't care to know if it was the best choice or not. If she continued to stay by my side, there is no doubt that shit will happen again. Not like I'm afraid of Alex's troubles but then, I didn't want any. I love the quiet kind of lifestyle so much and would do anything to live that way.

Seeing that I didn't reply to him, he must have been able to understand the meaning behind my silence and so he only let out a deep sigh.

As we headed to the clinic, I could not help but recall how he helped me. It may not seem like it but I'm very much an appreciative person. It gladdened my heart that for once in my entire life, someone stood for me.

I peeked at him, he still had a smile on his face. Any kid who has the kind of power he has will definitely end up being an arrogant kid, he wouldn't want to have anything to do with a level 2 ability user like me but he...?

He still chose to walk side by side with me, not minding the fact that sooner or later, he'll become hated by other kids. Perhaps, he'll be that one friend I have desired to have...

"We are here," he suddenly said, pulling me out of my endless thoughts.

I looked ahead, the clinic was right before us. A large building on its own.

We headed straight inside and went to one of the free rooms. Soon after, a pretty young lady dressed in white came to meet us.

"That's a pretty deep cut you have there," the lady noted as she examined my face. I felt her hand caress my face, her hands were soft and warm. She had a sweet smile on her face that is capable of melting any man's heart away. "For a boy with a pretty face like yours, you don't need to get into fights..." She continued and then paused as she bent down to get a plaster.

When she bent down, I caught glimpse of her cleavage. I gulped because it was the first time I was seeing something like this so close before my very eyes. Her cherries were large that it seemed impossible to fit perfectly well inside her clothes.

'Is she trying to seduce me or something?' I thought to myself and immediately looked away. I can't let myself get carried away.

"Stay still," she said the moment she raised herself. I complied and stopped moving so she could put the plaster on the wound. After she was done, I thanked her and immediately got up from the bed where I was sitting.

"Let's go," I said to Taylor but just as I was about to leave, the nurse called me back and handed me a card to me.

"I have a feeling that you'll be getting more injuries in the future so here is my card, keep it well," she said as she handed the card to me.

I didn't move an inch and stood staring at the card in her hand. What did she mean by I'll be getting more injuries in the future? Is she wishing me bad luck or what?

Seeing that I was reluctant to collect the card from her, Taylor rushed over and collected it from her.

"Thank you, Miss Rose. We'll get going," he said to her with a smirk on his face and then dragged me out of the room.

Once outside the clinic walls, I pulled my hand away from his grab and stood, staring at him with a curious expression.

"What? I was only trying to help you," he said with a pitiful face.

The fact that he was trying to act like the victim here is what makes me upset. Like... I didn't even ask him to collect the card because I felt I had no use for it yet he went ahead to do what he did. I am yet to know why she gave me her card or does she go around sharing cards. Geez! Trying to think of a reason makes me sick.

"You know what, let me have the card. I'll return it to her myself," I suddenly said and then snatched the card away from his hand.

"Are you sure you wanna return it or is it something else that I need to know?" He teased with a grin on his face.

"Get lost!" I said to him and began to walk towards the class buildings. I heard him let out a suppressed chuckle behind me before following after me.

After going back to the class, I settled down and waited for the next class. Other kids would occasionally glance at me because of the injury on my face, it's all thanks to Ryan's step-brother.

The teacher soon walked into the class, she looked like a thirty years old lady but then she was beautiful. Her curves were fully matured and large and she had this heart-piercing gaze. She scanned the whole class and then went to her chair to sit down. She didn't say a word and it made everyone curious and nervous.

From where I was sitting, I could hear some boys behind me whispering shits about how curvy and sexy she looked.

'What a bunch of shameless boys!' I thought to myself. Imagine these kids fantasizing about a woman old enough to be their mothers, the guts though!

"Bring out your answer booklets, you'll be having your test in five minutes!" She announced all of a sudden.

"What?"

"What test?"

"Why didn't we know about any test?"

The class fell into an uproar after the teacher had made her announcement. It was clear that no one was ready for the test, not after the one we had with the cold-faced female instructor.

When I think about it, I find out that I'm the most unfortunate one here. I haven't had any lessons from her class and so, I practically don't even know what to write. Whereas the other students have been taught over and over again and should know a thing or two about her subject. But still, I can't bring myself to complain like them.

"As students, you ought to be prepared at all times," the teacher said and brought out a book from her bag. "This test will determine whether or not you are fit to move on to the next class. The school prepared it for you so if you aren't interested in it, feel free to go meet your Dean. But you must know that failure to pass will have to repeat classes."

Again, the class fell into an uproar.

Many were against the whole idea of this surprise test yet no one dared to move from their seats. They were perhaps afraid of being repeated in class.

"Hey! Why do you look calm about the whole test thing?" Someone behind me asked.

When I turned around, it was one of the two boys who were talking about the old Ryan yesterday. The one who was in support of his actions.

"Nothing, why do you ask?" I asked him back.

"Because you look calm... It seems you are prepared for her test, right?"

"Not one bit," I replied and he looked at me curiously.

"You aren't prepared for the test but you look so calm, even calmer than those who seem prepared for it. Or are you gonna... You know, cheat or something?"

I stared at him for a short time and then laughed a bit, "Cheat?" I asked him and chuckled again. This was something I'd never done in my entire life. I've never done it before and will never do it.

"Yes, cheat! At least, that's what we all do to pass," he said with a grin.

"Except me... I don't cheat to pass, I pass only due to hard work or pure luck. And this is how I'm gonna pass her test too." After replying to him, I turned and faced my front as I didn't want to continue the conversation with him again.

The teacher had already written down the questions on the board and so I bent down on my paper to answer them. Funny enough, the questions were talking about demons. I knew nothing about them but for some reason, I find the concept of demons to be awfully interesting.
