Chapter 10

Chapter 10When we woke up the next morning, both still tired, life seemed almost normal. There was a ... thing between us, but there were also finals approaching, and those took precedence over pretty much everything. We ate together, and we kept up our workouts, but beyond that, all our time was dedicated to studying. The OChem study group met every afternoon, and we all drilled each other.
OChem was the first final for both of us, and it was a huge relief to be done with it. I came out happy - the outcome had never really been in doubt, but it was still good to have it over. Anne was miserable, convinced she had tanked and would wind up with a C for the class. I was sure she had done well, and I tried to reassure her, but it was no use. We had to wait five days for the results.
The rest of our finals were less stressful and mostly less eventful for both of us. I got stuck on a problem in vector calculus, and I felt like an i***t while I sat there staring at it, but figured it out with just enough time to finish. Anne coasted through everything else with ease.
When the OChem results did come out, I was on pins and needles as Anne checked her grade. She got a big smile on her face, and told me she had squeaked out an A for the course. I gave her a big hug, and that night I took her to the Chinese place for dinner to celebrate, wearing the blue dress she bought me for my birthday. Nothing was said, but it felt even more like a date than the last time we were there.
