"Congratulations, the exam has ended."

Mr.Ridwan announced to the students as he was tidying up the answer papers and question papers on his table.

"But, tomorrow. You guys still need to come to school and the attendance will be marked by the class representative, understand?"

"Yes."

All of the students answered Mr.Ridwan in unison while being disappointed inside, though some of them are looking forward to the class meeting, most of them aren't.

Finally, the exam was over. The result will only be out on the last day of class meeting.

Did I score everything above ninety? I would say yes.

Did I score everything perfectly? This one... I'm not sure. I did double-check before I submit my paper, so if my checking didn't go wrong, I should get a perfect mark on every subject.

Heading home, I continue Old Man's coding lesson, I'll be teaching him until the store closed.

"Oi Andy, I've been curious for a while. How the hell did you even know all of the knowledge you taught me?"

Ha... I guess It has gotten to the point even Old Man wanted to know about it. He usually just go with the flow and won't ask anything.

"You see,"

Hearing that particular word coming out of Andy's mouth, he really wanted to stop him from speaking further but at the same time, he also wanted to know.

Holding the urge of stopping him was that hard that Old Man needs to close his eyes, taking a deep breath and kept shaking his head like a madman.

I continue explaining all the lies that I could think of, trying to keep them as long as possible until...

"Stop!"

"Nevermind forgot what I ask, continue teaching me."

Yep, I've been waiting for you to say that.

The lesson continues without much hassle, and my random story blabbering skill was slightly improved.

The next day, at school, it's the class meeting period and currently, on the field, there's a tug of war competition going on. It's a competition between every class and it's a must that each class must send three boys and two girls.

Though only fourth grade to sixth grade get to participate in this one as the one that's too small will get injured if they joined.

As we got nothing to do since the exam has ended, Both Yulia and I were watching from our classroom window.

Right now it's Class 5-B against Class 6-A.

On the left side, which was Class 5-B, the team consisted of three small boys and two normal-looking girls. While on the other side there are three tough-looking boys and two giant girls.

Seeing the scene it's obvious who's going to win. The 6-A class will win this tug of war competition, looking at other class, there's no one can beat this line-up at all.

Bam*

It's the class representative that barges into the classroom.

"Andy, can you join the tug of war competition? We need one more people."

"I'm sorry, Yanto, I would prefer to not involved in any competition."

I rejected him politely, there's no way that I'll join this foolish game.

"But, you're the only one that I can ask. Please help me with this one."

Seeing that Yanto was bowing at me, Yulia interfered.

"Why not? Are you afraid to lose?"

"Indeed, it'll be embarrassing if I lose."

I shamelessly replied with a smirk on my face. Yulia's plan to provoke me failed.

Yulia was about to pinch me but I ran and hid behind the class representative.

"Let's go, I'll join."

"Thanks! I'll go and put your name in. Later when the teacher calls out your name, you can go to the field."

The class representative left in a hurry, going over to report that I'll join the tug of war competition. It's sure troublesome to be a class representative.

Yulia was still glaring at me for what I did. At least, she didn't chase me any further as she heard that I'll join.

"What will you do on school break?"

Yeah, after the class meeting was over, we'll have another two week holiday. Since we don't have summer break, having this many holidays compensates it.

"I'll be helping out at the store. My sisters and mother have been working non-stop every day."

"What about you?"

"Most of the time, I'll be watching the convenience store, I guess."

"Andy!"

Hearing the teacher calling out my name with his mic, It's our class turn now.

"Oh, they're calling you. Go and do your best out there."

"Right, right."

Going downstairs, I head directly to the field.

"Here! Andy!"

Seeing me, the class representative called me out. It seems that he's participating too.

Well, this is good, he's no doubt the strongest of all if I'm excluded. There's a reason he was chosen to be a class representative despite he's not good at studying.

"Andy at the back followed with Christian, Tracy, Fiona and me."

Standing by on the back, I hold the rope as hard as I could, I decided to give all out on this one because we're against class 4-A which has three strong-looking opponent.

They don't have muscles like me or Yanto but they're fluffy, very fluffy...

Meanwhile other than Yanto, none of us can pull the rope properly. They're not even trying to win.

I'm guessing they're also forced to join by Yanto.

They just wanted to lose and get over with it.

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

Whistle was sounded by the referee, we then started to give it our all, pulling with all our might.

"Class 4-B won!"

Ah, that was fairly easy.

"Wow, we won guys!"

Yanto who tried his best cheered joyfully to the other three that didn't try at all.

In fact, they're confused.

'How did we win?'

'I didn't pull at all.'

They did pull the rope but they're actually prepared to let the rope go but before they could, they won already.

"Ahaha, nice! We won."

The next game was fairly easy too. Our class won again and moved to the next stage.

'Are actually strong?'

'We might really win!'

The three that at first didn't want to try, gained their confidence. They're now trying their best due to a certain person trying too hard to win despite not wanting to.

...

...

...

The competition went on until we reach final and we'll be fighting against the possibly strongest class in this school, the class 6-A, they're two years older than us and much bigger than us in terms of size too.

Though I'm almost the same size as them, Yanto too.

"Guys! This is the final!"

"Give it our best shot! We can do it!"

"Yeah!!!"

Wow, since when they're so hyped in winning this competition.

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

The whistle was sounded, and this time we didn't win instantly like last time.

I'm really trying to pull as hard as I could, too hard that the vein was bulging out of my arm, but no matter what they won't move from their spot.

Everyone is trying their best, but our strength is not enough this time.

Seeing the people in front of me wasn't willing to give up, especially the other three, which at first barely trying.

Now they're trying hard to win the competition.

Sigh*

At least we tried our best...

My arms and legs cannot hold it any longer, for the past few games they're working very hard already. I can't push them further, it'll cause more injury than it should have.

I then loosen up my grip and that one moment causes the loss of our team.

"The winner is Class 6-A!"

The crowd cheered and yelled excitedly, the game was really intense on this one.

"Ah, the 4-B really has done their best. They almost beat and embarrassed their seniors."

"I know right, they put up a good fight at least."

Despite our loss, many clapped and cheered for us.

"4-B!"

"4-B!"

"4-B!"

Four of them who was about to cry when they lost, but seeing the crowd cheering them they smiled again.

One of the class 6-A, the most strong-looking boy, went over to shake Yanto's hands.

"You guys have done great."

"You too!"

When both of them shake each other's hand, the crowd cheered again.

It was a wonderful sight to see the leader of both teams, admired each other.

Leaving the field, I then went upstairs to my classroom, meeting Yulia who's smiling at me.

"You really tried your best out there."

"I guess, I did."

"As I said, it was embarrassing if I lose."

"Really? which part of you are embarrassed right now?"

...

What kind of question is that?

Sitting on the chair, I laid my head down on the desk to rest myself. It was really tiring after all of that happened.

"Oh yes, why don't you participate in the future chess competition, you're very good at it."

I suddenly remembered that Yulia's skill was on par with Butler Wu.

"Huh? I only play for fun not to join the competition."

"Then, treat it as a normal game. It's not an official competition anyway. Don't tell me you're scared to lose?"

I used the same method of how Yulia try to provoke me to join the competition, she then replied the same thing I said, she even followed the way I speak.

"Indeed, it'll be embarrassing if I lose."

"...Don't try to imitate me."

"You're the one start it first."

"Should I try to pinch you like you want to do just now?"

"I dare you."

Hearing what she said, I simply followed her, I then pinch her on her cheeks gently and instantly ran as far as I could away from her.

"Come here, who said you can pinch me!"

"You said 'I dare you.' so I did."

As though playing tag, we chased each other around the classroom, in the end I gave up and let her pinch me.

I screamed as hard as I could despite it wasn't that painful at all. It was really fun playing with Yulia.

If only Micheal was here, it'll be much livelier.
