The Test
Chapter 1

The first question on a test is always the hardest. It’s usually up in the corner in a place you frequently forget to check. Sometimes there’s a line for your answer, and sometimes there’s not. It depends on the professor. Your entire score can rest on that single question. If you answer it correctly, you pass, if not, you get a zero. And so, I have nearly failed my history exam. Then, I remember and go back to that first question, so cleverly not labeled.

Name.

You laugh, but I have turned things in without my name on them. In college, the professor won’t go out of his way to figure out whose paper it is. And so, I squeaked by with a C- in Biology. I should have gotten at least a B.

I quickly scrawl my name across the top of the test--

Kenshin Himura

--and I’m done. Thank god. I turn in my test and leave.
