African Family: Part 18

...I looked up, everyone was looking at me

I pretended not to notice the laughter coming from the back of the classroom, I continued writing

The teacher stood at my table a little longer, then he continued moving around the class

After sometime, he exclaimed again

"Some people have already finished"

He was standing in front of Daniel who was still writing so I didn't know who exactly he was talking about.

I tried to recall even the simplest definitions from basic tech topics but I couldn't

I decided to just relax and think about how my holiday will be

My thoughts fell on the food I will be eating that afternoon, although I didn't know what mum had cooked but I knew it would be a great meal...

I kept thinking of various things because I knew that the exam I was writing was already a failed one so I decided not to stress too much about it.

Just when the invigilator gave us the dreaded warning of 5 minutes remaining, I started having flashes of our basic tech classes

Some of the questions I had abandoned started becoming clear and I started answering them 

The speed I was using to write was enough to cause a wind storm if my hand was a fan

I kept answering the questions and also corrected the ones I had answered wrongly, I managed to answer all the questions before the time elapsed.

After we submitted our exam scripts, I went back to my seat and Daniel was looking at me like he was shocked...

"What is it?" I asked him

"I saw the way you were writing in the last five minutes, did you suddenly see the answers somewhere or what?" He asked 

I smiled

"I can't even explain, I was just remembering the talks during basic tech classes and I simply wrote down what I remembered" I said

"Are you sure you remembered correctly?" 

"I doesn't matter because there was no other option than to write what I remembered" I replied

The school bell went off to indicate that school was over for the day...

I left the class with my bags but had to wait a bit before daddy's car came into sight, he too had closed from work so we went home at once.
