RE: STACH Short Story Contest #26: 199 words, 5 winners, 15SB prize pool!

in #contest7 years ago

O&G test results are out!!
The whole classroom reverberated with the news as everyone scrambled for their phones to check their results online. I got up immediately and headed for the door. "Presh where are you going?"
"I forgot my purse in the hostel, let me get it before the next lecturer comes in".
She knew that was a lie. I had seen my result, my score was 55 and the class average was 70. "I must not cry, I must not cry.."
This was the 3rd CA test and I still maintained my position in the class...BOTTOM! Not that I wasn't trying, My previous scores were 44,52, and now 55!!
Debbie followed me till i got to the base of the stairs "Presh wait, whats wrong with you! Why are you crying?"
"Didn't you see, i got the lowest score in class again!!"
"Of course i did, but you missed something, what's the minimum total score to pass?"
"Its 150, and so? You think i've made it just because mine is 151? It still doesn't matter, let me be..."
"It matters dear, one grain does not fill a sack but it helps".
