《Senior Year》The SAT
Advertisement
It's finally Friday, which is the first day of November. Today also means that it's the last day of the first quarter. The day went by fast because you didn't have much to do in Government and Algebra II. After school, you had to help set up for the National Honor Society's Fall Festival. You had to help out because it works towards your required volunteer hours that you need for graduation.
The festival lasted for three hours. The kids looked like they had lots of fun. It took a while to clean up, especially the Hay Maze. Good thing it wasn't like the actual Maze. Luckily, there were no Grievers and it didn't take three years to solve. After that, you went home. When you got home, the smell of steak filled the kitchen. You walked into the kitchen to see your dad with a big plate of steak and your mom was fixing three bowls of salad. All three of you sat the table and ate.
After eating, you studied for the SAT that you have tomorrow morning. You're very worried because you're not that confident in standardized tests. Also, your scores were terrible when you took the practice SATs.
You set an alarm for 6:00am. A teenager should NOT be allowed to wake up that early on a Saturday. You groaned as you got out of bed. You did your morning routine and went into the kitchen to fix a bowl of cereal. After eating breakfast, you went back into your room and turned your phone off of airplane mode. You texted your family because you know that they'll lift your spirit up, even though the phone.
It was about 7:00am. You decided to give yourself plenty of time to get to school because you can't predict morning traffic. You arrived at school and went down the hallways to find the testing rooms. A teacher checked you in and assigned you to a room.

When you walked in, another teacher assigned you to a desk. As you sat down, you saw something on the shelf underneath the chair. It was the Scorch Trials book. It was different because it had a different cover and pictures from the movie. You smiled as you looked at the book. You took two pictures of the book and the movie pictures that were inside. You sent them to the cast.
You flipped through some of the pictures and found some with Kelsey in it. The cast responded. Here's what they said:
Dylan: Good luck. You got this. 👍🏻
Thomas: Good luck, love. Just give it your best. I love you. 😘❤️
Ki Hong: Man, my hair looks good in the pictures. Oh, go get em, tiger. 🐯
Dexter: You got this, girl. Tell us how it went when you're done.
Alexander: Apparently, we'll be by your side during the test. 😂📖
Jacob: Good luck.🤞🏻🍀
Will: Anyone who can survive the Scorch, has what it takes to do a test.
Kaya: Good luck. Do your best. Update: my belly is getting big with my baby.
Rosa: That's better than facing Cranks.
Kat: You're gonna do fine. We believe in you.
Nathalie: At least it's not a WICKED test.
Wes: Good luck, Kelsey. I'll be thinking of you.
Their encouragement made you feel better. Then, the teacher told everyone to completely turn off their phones. She handed out the test booklets and went over the instructions.
[Five Hours Later]
After what seemed like forever, the test finally ended. You left school and got McDonald's for lunch. You spent the rest of the weekend relaxing.

Julian was your normal happy go lucky kid in his younger years. He did everything that a normal 10-year-old that came from a relatively middle class family. Playing around with friends, going to school, and going on trips with his parents every once in a while. But life had other plans for his future than letting him grow like any normal teenager. At a young age his parents were killed, his friends slaughtered and family stolen. This had broken Julian completely, and hence he left on a journey to find strength to seek his revenge. But life was not yet done playing with his life, so it showed Julian that he had no talent to do anything that would lt him gain his revenge. It had become clear to Julian that the heavens did not favor him, so he left on one last journey when… ***** Ahhh I don't really know what else to add but ill write it here anyway, this is my first time writing a story, so I am still experimenting with things, so it is possible that you might find the beginning of the story to be a bit slow, but I assure you the later chapters and things I have in plan will not disappoint you. Oh, I also forgot to mention that I have taken inspiration from waaaay tooo many novels that I liked, and while there aren't any specific ones that I based this upon there are a few that I definitely took inspiration from like : the author's POV, chronicles of the heavenly demon [you can probably see where this inspired me ;)], etc.
