A glimpse in the life of a person who doesn`t check canvas
Heart dropping while beating faster than McQueen. Pages being flipped with blurred words. What causes this blur? Oh, the tears, I`m crying now…perfect. Trying to absorb as much information as I could before the exam. Sitting down on the chair, I feel like the whole world is spinning. Looking down at the paper as it`s filled with gibberish. Saving myself the embarrassment and writing a really meaningful letter to the teacher on the exam paper. Handing the paper and praying to god that at least the teacher will consider giving me another chance. After the school day, sitting down with my friends and they`re all talking about the exam. Couldn`t they talk about something else? Why now? Why didn’t they talk about it before so I could`ve had a chance?

Today was straight up the worst day of my life. I showed up to class twenty minutes late and found my Arabic teacher staring up at me with a deathly glare and my classmates bent over test papers. It took everything in me not to turn around and walk out the door. I sat in my seat and looked at the exam sheet, and despite the A I had in Arabic, I could not for the life of me figure out a single question. Now I was fighting tears. I hastily filled in every "C" on the multiple-choice section and scribbled some nonsense about religious interpretation on the answer lines. My face was burning like a tomato. As I walked out, I prepared myself for the big red F I'd inevitably get back.

Oh my god this story gives me PTSD! I really loved the description and the very relatable post-test anger at your friends. All in all this story was really well written and the winner of this weeks contest
