Thanks, I needed it

After closing the doors, I took water. Finally, I can drink a little. When I did this, I looked around.

Mostly teachers.

Seeing them, I took another sip and started walking away.

"Smith," the headmaster's voice came.

Hearing it, I could see him coming closer.

"Yes."

"How it was. Did you do it all?" he asked.

Hearing it, I said, "yes. All done. I shouldn't have made any mistakes."

Probably my words surprised most people.

All talks stopped.

"Good. Now let's go on. We need to wait for Evans," he said. Hearing it, I nodded and walked after him.

When we came to one table, I could see a maths teacher there with someone. Who I didn't know.

Seeing it, I nodded and said, "hello."

"Hi. So how did you do it? Was it easy, or did you just run away, leaving it unfinished?"

"Oh, all done," I said. Hearing me, he looked into my eyes.

"I can see if you have someone good or a shooter. Why did you hide him?'' the man said. Hearing it, the headmaster said, "oh, he couldn't go. After this, I forgot about him."

Hearing it, I know he didn't want me here. Probably just pride to be first. Let him tell me about this.

As I looked at the headmaster, I took another sip and said, "I will be back soon."

"OK," the headmaster said. Hearing it, I nodded and walked to look for a bathroom. As I kept doing it, I found it finally.

Seeing it, I use it and came out.

"Jack, can we talk?" a guy I met once said. I do not know what his name is.

"Yes," I said. Hearing me, he asked me about what we had there. Hearing it, I said what I had there. When I did this, he shook his head and started cursing.

Hearing it, I walked back to where the headmaster was.

Seeing him talking with men who I don't know.

"So what do you think your students will do?" the headmaster said.

"Second, and third. We might be second in the country in scores, but here we are better than you. Now you might win. Don't underestimate my students."

"Good luck. We will have first and second," the headmaster said. Hearing it, I looked at them.

Seeing my look, the headmaster said, "Smith, you think. You will have."

"Full. Paula should be ninety-something. No idea. We will see," I said. Hearing me headmaster nodded and looked at the man on his side.

Hearing me he said, "so you think you will have full."

"Yes. Maybe one point less. I will see," I said, and when the headmaster looked at me, he nodded, and I moved to the side. They started talking.

No idea why they started comparing schools. Hearing it, I shook my head. As I kept listening, I could see that more and more people started coming out.

Seeing it, I keep waiting for Paula to come out.

Almost at last, she came out. Seeing me, she looked at me.

When she came to us, I knew one thing. We can't talk peacefully.

All around, keep talking about everything. Hearing it, I looked at Paula, and she said, "let's go out. I will tell the headmaster."

"OK," I said. Hearing me, Paula nodded and walked to where the headmaster was.

Seeing it, not long after, she showed up. "Let's go."

"OK," I said to Paula, and we walked out. After coming there, she looked around and started going to one place. Seeing it, I followed her, and while seeing Ann coming out, she smiled and said, "so Paula. How it was."

"Hard one," Paula said. Hearing it, I smiled, and when I took my backpack, Paula smiled and said, "we will go back inside."

"OK," Ann said, and as she looked at me, she said, "I hope you will be in the top ten."

"Jack will win. Maths genius," Paula said.

"Oh, come on. Don't call me like that," I said. Hearing me, Paula nodded and giggled. Hearing it, I looked at Paula.

"Oh, really?" Ann asked. Hearing it, Paula nodded. Seeing it, I said, "I will go now."

"Jack, wait. I am going to," she said, and when I nodded, I started walking close to her while holding my things from my backpack. When I did this, we came inside.

Seeing the headmaster talking to other people, I looked at Paula. Seeing my look, she said, "he needs to be so happy."

"Oh, probably."

"He is. Look at his smile. He is overjoyed. I hope my test was good,'' she said. Hearing it, I grabbed her hand lightly and said, "you probably did well."

"With how you taught me. I probably did it," Paula said while smiling. I could feel her fingers going to mind. Feeling it, I smiled, and Paula looked at me.

She moved her hand and said, "now I am curious about what we will do."

"Probably wait here. Maybe we will have some lunch."

"Oh, this we need to have. No idea how long it will take them," Paula said while moving her head.

Seeing it, I nodded, and as she looked at me, I smiled, and the maths teacher's voice came, "oh, you are here. We will go out soon."

"OK," we said at the same time. Hearing us, he nodded and said, "I will go for him. Oh, my god."

He said while looking at the headmaster. Hearing it, I smiled, and not long after, the headmaster came to us. Seeing him, he said, "we will go now."

"OK," Paula said, and I only nodded. Hearing it, he nodded, and we walked slowly to his car. Seeing it, I keep looking at Paula.

Seeing that, something started going off with Paula. Realizing it, I looked at her and grabbed her hand. Feeling it, she looked at me and said, "thanks."

"No problem," I said. Hearing me, Paula nodded, and as she looked at me, we came to the headmaster's car.

While there, I looked at her.

Seeing my look, Paula smiled, and we started our drive. Who knows when?

The teacher and the headmaster keep talking.

I looked at Paula.

She seems to calm down. No idea what was with her seconds ago, but now she is much better.

Seeing it, I smiled, and when we kept driving, we came to one restaurant. While there, we came inside and made our orders.

Seeing it, I smiled, and not long after, lunch came. Seeing it, I smiled and started eating.

As I kept doing what I had done, and while seeing that Paula monitored me, she said, "I will go shopping."

"Oh, I will go. You should done eating. I had done mine. What you want."

"Oh, chocolate. Same which you bought me," Paula said.

"OK," I said. Hearing me, Paula nodded, and the headmaster said, "oh, you talk much better now."

"Oh, life," I said. Hearing me, he nodded, and he comes back to eating. Seeing it, I smiled and strolled to the closest shop.

While I was there, I bought what she wanted. While I still had coke, I came out and waited for them outside. First Paula came out.

Seeing her, she smiled and said, "paying."

"OK. Here you have it," I said, and when Paula nodded, she smiled and started eating it.

While seeing it, I smiled, and as I looked at her. They had come.

Seeing it, we came back into the car and started driving back to the place.

Paula almost ate the whole chocolate. Seeing it, I smiled, and when she gave me rest, I nodded and hid it.

Seeing it, she nodded.

After she had done this, I smiled, and after we parked, I could see. Much fewer cars were there.

Seeing it, I looked around.

When we came out, we started walking around.

Knowing that the headmaster was walking somewhere, I looked at him, and as Paula nodded, I started following him.

After coming to one room, he looked at us and said, "we will go check when all will be known."

"OK," I said. Hearing my words, the headmaster nodded and walked out with the maths teacher. Seeing it, I looked at Paula, and when she hugged me, I patted her head.

When I did this, she smiled and said, "thanks, I needed it."

"Oh, no problem. I had a feeling you needed it."

"Yes," she said, and after a quick kiss, I could taste the sweetness on her lips. I looked at Paula. She smiled and said, "so now I will move down. We will need to talk later."

"OK," I said. Hearing me, Paula nodded. After she sat close to me, she smiled, and I took the chocolate out. Seeing it, she said, "you can end it."

"OK," I said and started eating it. When I keep doing it. I do not know when they will come.

So finally, for the first time today. I have a room close to us. Knowing it, I looked at Paula and moved my hand behind her back.

When I touched Paula's back, she looked at me and smiled. Seeing it, I smiled too, and we kept looking at each other.
