The Missing Piece

50. Exams

"Good morning class. You already know your mid-term exams are starting next week. I want you all to do your best." Our maths teacher said as the first period ended.

"Ugh. Exams. I'm gonna fail." Nathan said.

"Me too." Max and the triplets said at the same time.

I glared at them.

"I dare you to fail." I spat, narrowing my eyes.

They visibly gulped.

"Get to work now." I ordered.

They stood up at once, joined benches for all of us to sit together and settled down.

"Hey, Zack. Evvie's calling you here." Kate yelled.

'What the-'

The girls giggled.

"Yeah, Coming." Zack smirked as I glared at him.

We sat there solving problems and discussing doubts.

"Jenna stop doodling. Nathan get up. Max stop daydreaming." I scolded.

"Why are you all so hard to handle?" I groaned.

"If I catch you all slacking off again, you're dead." I warned and started solving.

I saw Diego saying something to Kate to which Kate giggled and blushed.

I smacked Diego on his head.

"Stop.Flirting." I said and glared at Kate.

They sunk back in their chairs.

I saw Princess trying to make Jodee and Britney shut up. Daniel and David started bickering as his attention diverted.

He looked towards me. We exchanged knowing glances.

"They are not gonna shut up." I muttered. He nodded.

"Shut up." I yelled loud enough for all of them to hear.

They went silent.

"Are you going to study or not?" Zack asked.

"Yes. But we can't focus." Max whined.

I rolled my eyes.

"This is your last warning. Shut up and study. If I see you messing around, you'll have bruises when you leave this room." I threatened in my signature cold voice.

Even I felt shivers run through my spine.

I looked at them to catch them staring at me, eyes widened in fear. Even Zack looked terrified.

I cleared my throat and glared at them.

They went to studying. I looked at Zack who was still staring at me.

I smirked as he just shook his head.

The rest of the day was less eventful. They obeyed and studied well till the end of the day.

"Okay five minutes left for school to end, let's take a break." I said.

"Finally. The hitler is gone." David said as he put his head on the table.

I got some snacks out of my bag and we started eating.

"All of you, my house, at 4 everyday from now on. I dare you to disobey me." I said as the bell rang and we got up to leave.

They nodded and I walked out.

"You are terrifying sometimes." Zack said as he catched up with me.

I chuckled.
