String of Fate || K.C.W

Chapter 14: Basics

Summer went by in a blink of an eye. The memories I made with the group during that time were unforgettable. Unfortunately, school started again meaning that I'll have to study all over again. Exams are going to start in a few months and I need to focus more than I did last semester.

" Chaewon? Are you ready? "

" Yep! "

" Let's go to school. "

" Okay. "

We left my apartment and walked to school together. Minju joined us soon after. She dragged Yuri with her for some reason. Wait, why did she bring Yuri along?

" Why are you here, Yuri? "

" I'm in the same university as you, dummy. "

" I should've known... "

We eventually reached our university and we rushed to our classes to get our seats. Yuri was in a different course. What surprises me more than anything is that she is more closer to us than we initially thought. As our physics teacher entered the class, I could see a stack of papers on his hands.

" Ah crap, please don't be a test. "

" Ssamu, did you study during the summer? "

" Kinda. "

Our physics teacher set the papers down on the table and glanced across the entire class. He gave a smirk before saying anything to the rest of us. He probably felt mischievous upon seeing our reactions when he held those papers.

" Just to let you guys know, these papers are your study guides for your exams in a few months. "

" I was scared for a while there. "

" Lucky us, huh? "

I let out a huge sigh of relief and Chaewon started giggling softly by my side. I was beginning to sweat buckets when he brought those papers with him. He passed the papers to the rest of the class and began teaching for the next 2 hours.

" Ugh, I barely absorbed the class materials. "

" Same here. "

" Let's study after school then. "

Minju and I agreed in unison. There was a short break before our next teacher comes in. I tried to write notes down to understand it a little better. Suddenly, Chaewon slid her own personal notes to me and gave me a warm smile. Her kind gesture could make me cry tears of joy.

" You can keep it by the way. "

" Isn't this important for you? "

" Don't worry, I made an exact replica. "

" You knew this would happen, didn't you. "

Chaewon shrugged it off and scoffed before looking at our calculus teacher entering our classroom. I did not have to worry too much as I was more efficient in solving problems in calculus class rather than physics class. Chaewon is sailing smoothly in our classes and it made me want to work harder than usual.

" Class, we're having a test today! "

" Seriously. "

" Ugh, this sucks. "

The responses that the class gave made me slightly hopeful at least. That does not mean that I should have an excuse to slack off. We used the entire duration of our class to do our test. This feels more of an exam than anything, if I'm being honest.
