Just Between Us

Stefani's POV

"Rachel for Christ sake, calm down!" I groaned in the middle of the student testing center.

"I know we both agreed that we knew the information, but what if we don't? What if it's nothing what we-

I slapped Rachel across her face. It wasn't as if we were causing a scene already before I did.. the damn woman needs a grip.

"Thank you," she calmly adjusts herself and casually walks to a nearby trash can to throw out her coffee. She's a lunatic...

Damn caffein, if she doesn't go all jittery and damn herself with nerves when she takes the exams, then she damn sure will be getting on my nerves the whole day...

I had a smoothie after Veronica stopped by to wish us luck. I feel refreshed for going to bed early. I'm still unsure about what to expect but it's a humbling feeling that no matter what, I'm in a position to learn a lot after today's experience.

Holy shit.. it wasn't even that hard- none of them were.

"I got at least above 80's on all but a 76 on economics- not that I'm going to need it," Rachel shrugged tiresome as we left the testing center.

"Hey, what did you get?" Rachel nudged me and I'm still baffled by the six hours I spent in that hell hole and I still have the nerve to comprehend English.

"Stef?" She stopped me in the middle of the parking lot.

My brain is completely fried.

"What did you say? You passed all of yours?" I did my best to zone back into the world.

"Yeah, but what about you?" Rachel was concerned as the afternoon sun beamed down on her blonde hair. It was hot due to the sunlight but it was slightly chilly.. weather like this pleases me just as much as it irritates me.

I never know what the hell to wear when the condition is like th-

"Earth to Stefani!" Rachel waved her hands in my face and I slapped them away.

"Perfect scores," I tried to open the passenger door to her car but the damn woman is standing like a roblox character with her keys in her hand she's so stiff looking right now.

"On all courses?!" She was wide eyed.

"Yes, now can we go to our dorms and sleep? This was by far the most stupid thing we've taken the initiative to do. I hate school," I was getting cranky but just like I assumed earlier- if the caffein didn't kick in during the exams, it sure as hell kicking in now...

"You're only saying that because now we have to pack up and go home so you can apologize- as you should," Rachel flips her hair as she struts to the driver's side.

"Precisely," I scoffed and leaned my head against my seatbelt as I was ultimately pissed by the catch twenty two I was given. I was damned either way- it was either remain in this hellhole for a semester or go face Lillian in person..

Hate it here.

The car ride was casually silent- I say casually because I hardly talk, it's just Rachel running her mouth and I listen. That's pretty much normal because there's nothing for me to say other than me complaining about having to pack up when we literally just got here.
