Kesem's Pov
I am very sure it's midnight and I'm so not planning on getting any sleep.
The further i walk the louder footsteps i hear heading in my direction checking my left and right for any hiding spot, i found a little passage on my right. without a second thought i dive into the passage as the footsteps gets closer, suddenly they stop, i held my breath, waiting for them to just keep walking and not notice me, sending a mental prayer to God for protection. But the moment i heard their voices i mentally face-palm because i can recognize those voices anywhere..
The one and only class Viii idiot and his dearest best friend were the cause of my near heart failure 'bloody assholes'.
Pang asked wondering if he heard it or it was his imagination. "didn't you hear footsteps? "
Nac replied" of course i did but maybe the person left to his room.."
Pang mumbling "yeah you're probably right " with doubt in his voice.
Nac whispered before they walked away "don't be so paranoid it's just us that can be awake by this time of the night and it's the only time we can do what we need to do or else how're we going to pass the placement exam tomorrow".
Now that perked my attention and brought out my curious side. 'Laughing internally '.
Thank God i learnt those assassin skils now it's time to put it to use. I think I'm watching too many assassin movies lately.
Following them silently i saw them enter the storage room where documents are being kept and where they brought in the cabinet for the placement exam questions this afternoon. Hiding under the staircase i decided to be on the look out. why? Don't ask because even i don't have a clue as to why i do the things i do sometimes.
Suddenly the door to the room opened and The Director and Mr Pom came in, the latter has always been someone I've admired from afar because? You'll know why soon...But the Director?....
They walked up the stairs scaring the shit out of me that i became scared for the two idiots upstairs. Heading upstairs they started talking.
Mr Pom stated"Director allow me to check the documents upstairs"..
Opening the cabinet where the files are and cross checking them.
The Director asked him a question "Do you have any concerns regarding the upcoming test?"
Mr Pom replied "i don't think there's any problem i have prepared the venue and exam copies in place"
The Director replied "that's good, i hope that the exam this year will help us find many high-potential Gifted students"
Mr Pom replied "i hope so too".
The Director said "if there's nothing else, we should checkout the venue"
"Yes sir" Mr Pom replied
As Mr pom stepped back from the cabinet making his pen fall, rolling towards where the two idiots hid. Deciding to be a hero and save those idiots i connected my phone to the Mp player i noticed upstairs that Pang turned on when they were looking for the exam questions.
Mr pom adjusting his tie bent down to pick up his pen, the Music from my phone blasted through the speaker.
Turning around Mr Pom and the Director looked towards the speaker the director put it off asking "How did that happen?"
Mr Pom equally surprised replied "i don't know"
Shaking his head like he's shaking the incident away.
The director said "Never mind let's go to the exam venue"
"Alright "Mr pom replied. With that they walked down the stairs the director stopped, turning towards the boxes like he knew the idiots were there, turning on his heels he descended down the stairs getting to the doors, i was about to mentally 'sigh' when he suddenly looked towards the staircase where i was hiding, he Smirked and left, Leaving me with chills running down my spine.
The next morning was the day of the placement exam and if you're wondering, No i didn't sleep last night instead i busied myself with studying for the exam.
Ariving to class, i noticed all the questions were already placed on our desk, when the rest of my classmates were seated we were given some rules to follow like no talking, no writing, no peaking at the question and so on.
By 9:30am we were told to start. After an hour and i was done with my exam i just sat and cross-checked my answers making sure i made no mistakes, satisfied with my work i placed my head on the desk that moment was when Mr Thomas said "if you're done with your exam feel free to submit".
I was about to get up and submit when suddenly the school speaker want off and a particularly painful sound wave emitted from it making me bend my head and cover my ears, trying to look around to see if i am the only one feeling this but my vision was blurry that i couldn't make out anything anymore, felling something dripping from my hand made me notice my bloody hands but right before i could react, i heard a voice from the speaker saying
"The final question requires a free text response."
"The question is, with the new advancements in technology today, humans are no longer subject to Charles Darvin's natural selection, do you agree with this statement?".
"please write your response on the back of your answer sheet"
"please write your response on the back of your answer sheet."
With bloody hands i turned my answer sheet and noticed the Gifted Symbol with the writing spaces to answer the weird question. Answering the question, i didn't know at that time that the event was the beginning of the whole story.....
