College Entrance Exams Day

You can imagine how stressful the weeks leading up to the exams have been. Whether they will get into any of the SKY universities. I remember the day I took the exams, it’s a day I will never forget. The days have gotten quicker everyday for the seniors. Cramming study at any chance. Luckily no one has committed suicide, not that I can freely talk about it anyways.

After I read the instructions, I check the time, write it on the board. I look around at all the anxious faces. Some are taking deep breaths.

“You may begin the mathematics portion” I tell them. Booklets immendity open. I take a sit, to avoid hearing complaints from the test takers.

All I can do at the moment is watch them, making sure they don’t cheat. The other proxy quietly walks around. Reading to provide fresh pencils.

1 hour later

At the hour mark, I get up and switch with the other proxy. I make my silent rounds. As I reach the window I hear a thump. I quickly turn around. One of the students is bent over another student.

I race over to a girl laying on the ground. The girl is sweating and pale.

“Step away!”  I tell the small crowd forming around me. I without thinking pick her up. I am exiting.

“Everyone continue with your exam!” I call out at the door. The parents are going to have a field day with this one.
