SAT

As we were pulling up to the school gates I couldn't believe the sea of people that swarmed the sidewalk. As we approached it only seemed to get bigger and bigger while more students kept adding to it. Me and my sister waited way in the back away from everyone else, just staring unbelivingly at the number of kids that were going to take the test. The nerves were beginning to claw at our stomachs as the doors openned, showing the way into its maze-like depths. Slowly, step by step we all got in, bashed together inside the stone walls, everyone talking and laughing, listening to music or texting on their phone. Anything to distract themselves, I guess.

"TWO LINES, PLEASE!" Someone yells from the front of the crowd.

And at those words I swear (I don't know if it was the nerves or if my mind was going insane) everyone funneled in and made two perfect lines in a flash. I couldn't stop myslef from laughing as a picture of a school of fish came into mind. After squeezing in the best I could we finally came to the front desk were two staff members were waiting for the admission tickets to see if we were allowed. I handed mine over and was asked to wait aside while they checked a few others. My sister was behind me and as she handed her ticket the guy just glances up, turnes back to make sure I was still there then turns to her and says: "I'm gonna take a wild guess here and say you two are sisters."

While we waited for a reasonable group to form so they could take us into a classroom there was a "tumor" forming in one of the lines. One guy was in line and his friends were grouped next to him outside, so that when it was his turn, they would all go. But the teacher at the front didn't quite like that.

"HEY, FELLAS!" Everyone stopped and turned to find out what the commotion was about. "I said TWO lines. I know you're from THIS school but that doesn't mean you guys run the joint. Now all of you get in line!"

"What are we, in the cafeteria?!"

I don't remember when I laughed that hard before an exame. It certainly kept my mind of the fear for a while.

Ironiclly they DID lead us to the cafeteria. It was the only largest place in school to fit so many people and we still occupied at least 50 more classrooms. O.O

Then everything went as predicted. They read the rules, we started the test. 25 minutes and pencils down, breath, another 25 minutes and pencils down, 5 minute break, 25 minutes and pencils down, breath, and so forth. It was like that for three hours! And I there still wasn't enough time to do everything, can you believe it?! You can't do anything in 25 minutes!

Well, after that was over, everyone was back to their carefree selves. The teachers were awsome and very kind. As they were collecting the answer sheets one of them turns to us and says: "How did it go?" Me and my sister both twiched our nose and he smiled. "First time, huh?" As we nodded back he just chuckled and said: "Don't worry. I'll see you back here in two months again." O.O

Yet when we where leaving something felt wrong. I know we were all more then happy to get out of there but everyone was literally running out of there. Teachers and all! That's when I heard someone behind me say: "Man, if these people don't hurry up we'll miss the game!!"

Gotta love Americans! XD
