nobody talks.
obviously, (but i add this for all my stories) fiction.

invigilating for the first time, felt really weird
30 students, giving the exam that would decide the rest of their lives.

--

a girl was biting her nails, and sweating profusely
a boy was sitting straight up, pen in his hand swinging
a girl had cut her answer three times
a boy was hanging his head, counting on his fingers
a girl was drawing on her question paper
a boy was sighing, and writing something
a girl was sliding some money in her sheet
a boy was writing his name at the end
a girl was moving her lips silently
a boy was looking at his friend

--

alas, time came to an end
the same people who had different expressions
instantly all looked the same
sad, dissapointed and quiet

--

it turns out at the end, the exam was of german,
yet all the students were studying french
