Thomas groaned and walked slowly into the classroom. Lindsey, his best friend noticed him behaving unusually and walked towards him and said," Hi Thomas, what's up? Prepared?" Thomas looked down at his feet and mumbled something under his breath. Lindsey immediately knew that something was wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
"Prepared for the exam?'' Lindsey asked Thomas cheerfully. She was expecting a confident 'yes' from the top student in class. However, Thomas shook his head and heaved a sigh.
" I guess..."
'' Come on, you are the top student, what can go wrong?'' Lindsey exclaimed. "It's just...I have been too addicted to playing computer games and did not study for the examination..." Thomas confessed. 'Oh I see...good luck, I guess..." Linsey encouraged Thomas.

-"What! Its already nine o'clock! I'm going to be late yet again!" Peter  mumbled as tears of frustration trickled down his rosy cheeks.

"It's okay, Thomas. I have faith in you!" Lindsey assured Thomas."No! I will fail the exam for sure as i was addicted to computer games," Thomas cried as tears rolled down his cheeks. Upon seeing Thomas so anxious, Lindsey offered her notes to him to revise before the examination started.

"Hey! Thomas, over here!"Lindsey shouted expecting him to walk over. Thomas glanced at Lindsey, then continued walking with his head hung. Lindsey just knew that something was wrong, he was not his normal cheerful self. "Thomas, why do you look so anxious? Are you scared to sit for the examination?"   Lindsey asked  concerned. " No, it's nothing," Thomas mumbled as cold sweat started forming on his forehead. "Come on , you know you can tell me anything!" Lindsey told him. Thomas looked at Lindsey and confessed his addiction.

" Hi Thomas. You look troubled. What's the matter?" questioned Lindsey.
"I'm never going to pass my exams,"Thomas mumbled softly under his breath, avoiding eye contact with Lindsey.
" That's impossible! You're always getting first in class!" Lindsey exclaimed.
Thomas sighed," I have been addicted to playing computer games and totally forgot about studying for the exam."
Lindsey patted Thomas on the shoulder and said, " Just try your best, it will be fine."

# data[].attributes.body
"Hi, Thomas!"said Lindsey ,"Are you confident for our examination?"
Thomas looked down in shame, his cheeks as red as tomatoes."Hi,"Thomas mumbled.
Lindsey could immediately tell that something was wrong."Is there something bothering you?" she asked with curiosity.
Thomas sighed, "Nowadays, I have been so addicted to computer games that I did not revise for the examinations."
"Don't worry, you always get good marks for exams," Lindsey reassured him.

# data[].attributes.body
-"Why did I do that? If I did not do that ,I would not have gotten into trouble!"

# data[].attributes.body
"What's wrong?" Lindsey asked curiously as she noticed Thomas' pale, white face and the shuffle of his feet while walking up a long flight of stairs.
"I'll definitely fail the examination today," he mumbled under his breath.
"Come on Thomas,stop acting. You always top in class," Lindsey replied cheerfully as she thought her best pal was being cheeky, as always.
"Not this time round," he whispered into Lindsey's ear as big fat tears rolled down his face.
Lindsey's eyes widened in shock. How could a top student like Thomas not study for his examination and play computer games instead?

# data[].attributes.body
"Good morning, Thomas. All prepared for the examination?" Thomas did not reply, he just hung his head low and continued walking.
Seeing Thomas with such a long face, Lindsey put her hand on Thomas's shoulder and asked," What seems to be the matter?"

Thomas sighed and replied, "I.....I have been addicted to playing computer games lately , I didn't study for today's examination.What should I do, Lindsey?"

They walked to class with their heads hung low and dispirited feelings. After a while,Lindsey broke the silence and said softly ,"I guess you have to face the music. Don't worry, just  try your best."

# data[].attributes.body
As Lindsey walked past Thomas at the corridor, she asked Thomas whether he was ready for the examination.. Surprisingly, he did not reply her.
" Cheer up, Thomas! Be confident in yourself, you are always the top in the class, don't worry, you'll be fine, " Lindsey assured  Thomas. " I hope so too," he replied

"I'm so sorry,"Jennifer whimpered softly. Tears of shame trickled down her red rosy cheeks as she thought about her wrongdoing during the test. It was a horrible moment of shame.

"Get out now, you do not belong in this class,"
the teacher growled at me while pointing to the door of the discipline master's office.With a heavy heart, I shuffled out of the classroom and glanced at the furious teacher.
