Chapter 119 - 118: Midterm Exams (2/2)
Serena replied thanking him for his time and that lunch was good. Hopefully, they can meet somewhere near the school. Also, the meeting will not take that long as they were people who does not like beating around the bush.

Come next week, the students were again shuffled for the midterm exam. Serena stood in front of the bulletin board. She can't help but recall that time when Charlton went to meet her and wish her luck. Anyway, she shook her head to get him off of her mind.
She must focus on the exams. She felt quite pressured because she didn't want Emily to surpass her.

On Thursday, after the exams were done, she estimated that she did as well as she did during the preliminary exam this time. However, she can only lament her exam in biology, she just couldn't understand the x and y chromosomes, and all those DNA, RNA, etc. that the subject was talking about. She could only hope that the other subjects will pull her grades up again.
In the evening, she received a confirmation letter from Mr. Easton stating that they can meet at Simpson's in the strand that coming Saturday at noon.

”Ugh… the last two weeks have been hell.” Gizel said as she slouched on Serena's sofa. If was a Friday and the girls decided to meet in Serena's room before going to town for a shopping spree.
”I got to agree. Anyway, Serena, are you getting any sleep? You look like you need to rest.” Milly said worriedly.
Serena just smiled. She knew that she was a little exhausted after everything. Last night was the only time she finally was able to breathe. However, instead of being able to relax, thoughts of Charlton started assaulting her. No matter how much she denies it, a part of her still longs for him and his company. When she was busy, she did not have time to think of him, when she was not busy, she can only miss him. In short, she was not able to sleep a lot these days.
She kept wondering, what could he be doing now? Was he also thinking of her as she was thinking of him? But then, she would be reminded of the time he must be spending with Emily, and she would be angry again. She had to keep telling herself that they were over.
”don't worry about me. I'm just a little exhausted. At least now, the exams are over. Also, I was able to finish writing the lyrics of the song last night. So, I guess I can relax now.”
”But… should we postpone our day out for next time?” Via suggested.
”No, I'm okay. Let's go.” Serena replied. It was good to have the girls with her, at least she can take him off of her mind during this time.
