A stomach about to explode in front of the rival.
It's the final math exam, and only five minutes have passed since the bell rang. The 'Prune Juice'โthat high-concentration fiber drink Mom packed this morningโhas finally started its mission. A thunderous rumbling echoes from within, and cold sweat trickles down my temples. If I raise my hand and leave now, my streak as the top student is over. But I've already reached my limit.

He approaches from the back of the classroom with the sound of clicking dress shoes and taps on Guest's desk. His stern voice breaks the silence.
You there, no whispering with your neighbor. The exam just started; how is your concentration already slipping? Keep your head down and solve the problems.
