Chapter 13 - #13 After the final exam

Finally, It's now the time for the final exam.

And it's also the day everyone is trying to submit their assignment like hell.

"You got any assignment left, I'Beam?"

"No….What about you, bro?"

"I got a couple…But it's all done, All I had to do is submit it to the teacher"

Boom tries to make himself look good. But it's useless, nonetheless. Even Tar and Chompoo next to him thought the same thing.

In addition, Today is the final exam day and the last day to submit the remaining assignment. Currently, Inside the school sport stadium for the morning assembly, there are a lot of students who come early in the morning to do their assignment.

Boom and his friends are also one of them.

"I'Boom, Can I copy your science work?"

"Which one?"

"The exercise number 4 in your damn notebook"

"I already submit it a week ago"

"God fucking damnit, I'Poo?"

"I went to submit with him"

FUCK! Tar begins to panic before walking to another group to ask for their homework.

The 3 of them decide to ignore Tar and continue to play on their phone.

Not long after, the teacher blew the whistle for the student to assemble.

After the morning assembly, an army of students separated and went to their exam room.

(The same exact room…And the number…)

Also the same. The only notable difference is that someone got expelled at the end from the last month.

Because he got caught while smoking an electric cigarette by accident.

Moving on, Boom places his bag in front of the room, brings out all the necessary equipment and suddenly, he feels like someone is poking his back.

When turned around, he found Lifa.

"You finished all your assignments?"

"Are you my teacher? Always ask like this. Of course, I finished them all. I just need to submit it"

"Good boy"

Lifa lightly pad his head before entering the exam room. All the students could only look at Boom with strange eyes.

"Is she your mom or something?"

One of the boys came to ask, Boom just simply answered 'No idea'.

 

And the first day of the exam has ended.

Passed quickly like it rushed, Boom sighed with relief as he walked out of the exam room. This time he felt more relaxed than usual because if the exam ended, he would have a long holiday for a month.

The semester break is the best thing ever in Boom's opinion.

Of course, he's well aware that this is only a 1 month semester break. If all the assignments have not yet been submitted, He must come here again. Plus, It seems like there are some subjects that need to be revised if he fails the exam. So, Boom tries to make it all pass the 60% minimum so that he doesn't have to come here again.

But there's one thing he needs to do after the exam is…

"I don't want to come to the meeting at all, tbh"

"Who gives a fuck about your opinion?"

"Keep writing, dickhead. Wanna get an F grade so badly?"

"Shut the fuck up, I'm writing!"

Boom and Tar are sitting in the cafeteria, eating a snack.

They still had an exam in a different room. Currently rushing his biology homework with all cause. Luckily, Boom had taken a photo of the answer from his classmate, otherwise Tar would definitely be in trouble.

"Hey there, You two"

Lifa comes and says hi to both of them. But no one answered her.

"What are you guys doing?"

"I'Tar is rushing his work, He always said 'Got a band practice', Now look at him"

"Oh, For fuck sake! Because I really got practice!"

Tar shouted as he increased his hand speed. If this is done, all he has left is just math.

As for Boom, he already finished that a week ago. That's why he's chilling with his iced tea right now. Keep supporting Tar by sending an answer he had taken.

"Are you still at school?"

"Yeah, I just wanna see you. Is there any problem?"

Lifa said with a sly smile. But this is nothing to Boom. So he gave her a short answer 'Yeah'.

"Where's I'Beam and I'Poo?"

"Beats me. Maybe they still taken an exam"

"...Oh shit, I forgot our teacher let us out 20 minutes early"

5 minutes left until school is over.

Lifa, who had nothing to do, brought out her book to read in preparation for tomorrow's exam.

Because her father often forced her to do this kind of thing in the past. It has become a habit by default.

"Done. I'll go submit it"

Tar got up and immediately went straight to the science building. Leaving Boom and Lifa together.

"Have you submitted your home economics homework yet?"

"I'm about to. I'm waiting for I'Tar finish his work and-"

"Why don't you go now?"

Lifa interrupted. Boom didn't know how to answer so he chose to keep quiet.

"Just waiting for I'Tar…"

"Why?"

Her face kept getting closer and closer. Boom slowly backed away but she kept getting closer until the distance was only a few millimeters. Boom had enough and decided to tell his reason.

"So you're scared of the teacher dog?"

"You happy now?"

The thing is, at the front of the home economics building, there's a stray Thai ridgeback dog (which someone left behind 3 years ago) with brown fur. It is quite friendly towards people, so it is especially liked by the students and teachers. But not for Boom.

It's actually not angry or hate Boom at all. Boom, just scared of dogs.

"Oh~ I understand now"

"What are you doing?"

Boom backed away. Because Lifa looked like she's about to commit some of the most evil things since humankind had begun.

And that is to drag Boom just like that.

I'Li! You fucking brat! He grumbled in his thought as he was being led away just like that.

"C'mon, There's not thing to afraid of"

"No! You prick! I'm actually scared!"

"But you are completely normal when you come here with other classmates tho?"

"That's because it has a lot of people!"

No point in resisting. In conclusion, Lifa relented and attracted the dog's attention. So Boom can go to submit hit work without any worry.

◇◇◇

The 2nd day of the final exam went well. The students are all cheering because they finally passed this semester.

Except for those who have to retake a test and submit all their remaining assignments who're now crying by the wall.

Boom is also happy that the exam is finally over. But he has to let go of that emotion because he needs to come to the meeting tomorrow.

"C'mon buddy, It's only 1 day"

One of the girl's classmates comes and taps on Boom's shoulder to cheer him up. She's also one of the staff members but Boom just simply replies 'Yeah' then picks up his backpack and leaves.

On his way back, he met Tar and Chompoo.

"You leaving now?" Asked Tar.

"Hell yeah, Got nothing to do after all"

"Wanna go eat moo kratha together?"

"If you pay, I'll go"

You son of a bitch. Tar mutter. Boom didn't care. If he goes in time like this, the restaurant is guaranteed to be full of people because the exam is just over. There should be a lot of students there.

Boom doesn't like that kind of place, so he rejected the offer.

Chompoo agreed with Boom because she, too, doesn't want to go to the crowded place. Tar then skipped all the talks and said 'Then, let's go home'.

In the school parking lot, many students have been getting their bikes out to go home or on a trip. Boom is now sitting, waiting for the little people to be able to get his bike out easily.

"Tada"

'!?' Boom got touched at the face by something cold, turned to look and see Lifa and Beam.

"The hell with you?"

"Aren't you scared at all?"

"A little bit, But I know it's you from the moment I heard your footsteps sound"

Boom's hearing is quite impressive. Plus, he's very observative, and has insane perception, allowing him to recognize their footsteps very well.

"Wow, That's really impressive"

"It's gamer ears after all"

Although he has a good hearing, Boom isn't the kind that shows off all over the place. On the contrary, letting the other find out by themselves is more exciting in his opinion.

"I don't believe that. Is Boom telling the truth, Beam?"

"You'll need to try it"

With curiosity, Lifa sat next to Boom and stared at him.

"What?"

"You said you have good eyesight, right? Try to spot the difference between today's me and yesterday's me, Can you?"

Lifa said and made a peace sign. Since there's some time left, Boom decides to play along for a little bit.

"From yesterday?"

"Yeah"

Boom moves his eyes around. As he searched through as many memories from yesterday as he could. And finally, he snapped his finger, causing Lifa to flinch.

"Don't use this perfume again next time, ok? That lavender smell is too strong"

"Ah…."

"You move your bracelet a little lower than yesterday. Your school shirt and skirt probably weren't dry when you put them on. And the lipstick that you use is probably really expensive, too. Lastly, the shampoo you used today has a slightly different scent…It smells like fruit. Right?"

"...."

That answer from Boom makes Lifa flabbergasted. Even those around him had to stop and listen.

"He did it again…"

"What? She told me to spot the difference from yesterday. And I just did it, right?....I'Li?"

Hello? Boom snapped his finger to wake Lifa up.

"How's that? Did I get it right?"

"Ah…..Yeah, All correct…"

"Good thing I got a great memory, or else I wouldn't got it"

"I really wish you're like this when you're study"

That last sentence, Beam added because to prevent people around them from mistaking Boom as a stalker.

Don't know how good it'll work, but this is the best thing she can come up with at this moment.

Lifa, who is stunned, bowed her head as she adjusted her bracelet for some reason.

"I'Li?"

"A- Alright, I'll take my leave. My driver is arrived"

 She immediately got up and walked away with a slightly red face. Boom then turned to Beam who was standing next to him, but Beam just sighing.

"Ya'know what bro? What you just said is like you've been stalking her all the time"

"She's the one who always comes to me, Ok? It's not that strange why I can memorize to the very details"

"No normal human would memorize all of that"

"Really? Maybe I'm just being cautious person"

"Don't make me speak about the fact that you forgot something during the field trip"

"You're no better than me, kid"

After some arguing, people in the parking lot left until there were only a few dozen bikes left. Boom then tells Beam to hop onto it and head to their home.
