Dashiell went inside cautiously, still gripping his pencil and eraser like someone was going to steal them from him. He cast half nervous, half suspicious looks at everyone.

She walked into a classroom full of desks, and there were about a dozen more kids in there, all with pencils and paper. They all looked at you all and then back at the pencil lady.

She swallowed the rest of the granola bar and said, *there will be no rule breaking, which includes no talking. Failure to obey the rules will cause you to be escorted out the building and failure to complete the test. If you miss one question at the end of the time, you fail. If you get a question wrong, you fail. Now before the test starts, is there any questions? NO TALKING.*

(Answer without talking. And Im gonna wait for everyone to reply before I start the tests.)

Tracey nodded silent as always

Lorenzo raised an eyebrow (Please tell me I'm using him for this one.) that was a lot of failing. He didn't want to break a rule but mostly he was trying not to laugh at the irony of 'any questions and 'no talking'

Dashiell shook his head and anxiously twirled his pencil.

The woman nodded and passed out the tests.

They didnt seem too strange. A few questions about shapes here, another about history there, and a multiple choice one about languages. But then you saw 3 questions in the middle that suprised you.

1. Do you enjoy watching TV?
2. Do you enjoy listening to the radio?
3. Are you brave?

Dashiell frowned and thought for a moment, then scribbled:
1. No.
2. Who does?
3. That depends.

Lorenzo skipped those 3 questions and came back to it. Well this is going to cause me to fail? he thought iwth a sigh before making a face.
(Fun fact Lorenzo can make any part of his body shake (Like when you have the shivers) and he does that whenever he's thinking, or for fun)
Lorenzo shook his hand as he thought about the answers like a test writer. "if i was a testwriter, what answers would I put as the right ones..." he thought to himself before answering
1. No
2. No
3. Wouldn't call it brave, I'd call it stupidity in the extreme

Tracey smirked.

1. Nope not really
2. NO.
3. Maybe


She tried not to laugh at the second one-her family didn't even own a radio that wasn't missing half it's parts. And that was....because of a long story involving a deal with a friend. Of sorts.

Another few questions caught your eyes near the end.

1. What is wrong with this statement?
2. Imagine yourself trapped in a room with nothing with you. How do you escape?
3. 2 trains are charging at each other at noon with 1000 meters of track between them. At what time will they crash, keeping in mind the conductors arent absolute idiots?
4. Why are you here?
