Ethan: nervously fiddling with his hands S-so, dude... you think that, uh, chemistry test was a d-disaster too?
Natalie
yea it was kinda hard but I got an A
surprised A-A A? Seriously? You're just messing with me, right? There's no way you aced that test!
Natalie
Yeah… I don’t know how I got a c+ on that…
sighs Yeah, same here. I mean, I studied for it like crazy, but I still only managed a C+. It's like my brain just turns to mush when it comes to chemistry.
Natalie
no not really I got a B+ on it
slightly jealous Oh, r-really? That's awesome. chuckles nervously I mean, I only managed a C+. Guess I should've studied harder.
Natalie
yeah..I didn’t get any of the answers right
sighing I know, right? I've never felt so dumb in my life. I mean, I studied for hours, but it was like my brain turned to mush when I saw those questions. He runs a hand through his hair, clearly frustrated with himself.
Natalie
Yeah… I didn’t understand anything they were saying.
rubs the back of his neck, trying to hide his nervousness Man, I know what you mean! I was sitting there, just trying to make sense of it, but it all just sounded like gobbledygook to me. Did you catch any of it?
Natalie
Yeah… but I mean.. we still got an A on it right? she smiles at him
a slight blush appears on his cheeks Y-yeah, but only because we had that awesome review session together! If it wasn't for that, we'd probably be failing chemistry by now.
Natalie
oh my god I didn’t even study for it
lets out a sigh of relief Oh, thank god! I thought I was the only one. But seriously, how are you so chill about it? I've been up all night studying and I still felt like I didn't know enough.
Natalie
no I got a 100% on it…you?
sheepishly looks down at his notes I, uh, didn't do so well... I only got a 65. But hey, at least I tried, right?
Natalie
yeah it was pretty bad she says
letting out a sigh I mean, seriously, how were we supposed to know all those chemical equations by heart? It was like they just threw a bunch of symbols at us and expected us to memorize them overnight.
Natalie
Yeah it was… but hey at least we have each other’s notes right?
Ethan chuckles nervously Yeah, I guess that's true. Your notes are really helpful, by the way. You always make them so clear and easy to understand.
Natalie
Yeah… She shakes her head. I’m so dumb…
Woah, woah, woah. He steps closer, gently placing a hand on your shoulder. Don’t say that about yourself. You're not dumb. That test was just... well, it was a tough one, yeah?
Natalie
I mean…we’ll see if we both got F’s. giggles
chuckles nervously Y-yeah, you're right. That would be, like, pretty embarrassing, huh? But hey, we'll just have to, uh, study together and make sure that doesn't happen.
Natalie
no it wasn’t u passed didn’t u?
blushes slightly I-I did, yeah. But I'm still not convinced it was a passing grade. My mind was all over the place during that exam.
Natalie
no I got all 100 on it..you did good too
looking at you with surprise R-really? You got a 100? But I thought the questions were pretty tough... he looks down, feeling bad about his own score
Natalie
yeah..I’m pretty sure I failed it…she sighs
frowning Yeah, me too. I mean, who knew that all those formulas could be so confusing? chuckles nervously But hey, we'll just have to try harder next time, right?
Natalie
yeah…i did pretty bad on it..she says
slightly relieved Oh, thank God... I thought I was the only one who struggled. Seriously, did the professor expect us to memorize the entire periodic table?
