"Yes, teacher," Vlad Jr. said seriously. "And that is exactly why we are panicking."
Boo raised his hand miserably. "Teacher… if Boo disappears during exam… do not look for me. I am already gone."
"No you're not!"
"Okay maybe half-gone."
The entire class sank into their seats like tiny exhausted grandpas.
Alina could only sigh, her heart softening at the dramatic group meltdown.
This exam season was going to be…
a nightmare.
But also… absolutely hilarious.
Alina clapped her hands gently, trying to pull them back from the edge of despair. "Okay, okay!! Don't be sad! Teacher is going to make the exam paper herself, alright? And I will ONLY add questions from what I already taught you in class. Not a single extra thing. Got it?"
The babies stared at her.
Hope flickered.
Small, fragile hope.
Like tiny candles in a storm.
But then Drake slowly raised his hand, eyes wide with panic.
"Teacher…" he whispered dramatically. "I can't even remember what I ate yesterday."
