At this is point, the time is thirty minutes past ten, which is quarter past ten. Since I was already through with my paper, I started flipping through my work for the final touch and, also making prophecies on my paper because, sometimes you may write well, but the examiners might grade you failure due to marking error.
While sitting quietly and waiting for the supervisor to retrieve our papers, in a hush voice, I heard my name Rosie! Rosie! Not too loud though. I looked back to see who that was. Oh! not again ! That's my friend.
(JOY'S POV)
"I need answers to question No. 2".
(ROSIE 'S POV)
I Whispered in a hush voice "how will I do that? Supervisors are around. So... as I was thinking of what to do.
'The lecturer said loudly
(SUPERVISOR 1)
"pens up!" All stands…...! Drop your paper on the desk. If you are caught writing, you will be penalised'.I repeat... Drop your paper on the desk. If you are caught writing, you will be penalized.
(ROSIE'S POV)
After the second instruction, I stood up immediately, leaving my paper because at this point in time, supervisors are so furious and hunting for doublers. I meant those who wants to copy other students answers.
(SUPERVISOR 2)
Hey! You....
You again...!
You on red on blue jeans.! what are you still writing?
(ROSIE 'S POV)
I followed the directions of his fingers with my eyes to see who he was referring to, meanwhile , I was standing close to my paper for the supervisor to come and picked it up.
I saw my friend struggling to write. oh!...no... as I exclaimed with perturbation.
(JOY'S POV)
It...'s nothing sir she responded with frightening all over her body and her head looking down on her booklet.
(SUPERVISOR 1)
It's was nothing! But I just saw you right now. You were still writing! What are you still writing please?
(JOY'S POV)
Hu.....mmmm ... I was writing humm! as she was stammering on what to say.
I omitted my matriculation number and I have to put it down sir.
((SUPERVISOR 2)
"This is your last chance" young lady as the supervisor reassured her. If not that, I would have given you exam Malpractice form to fill and i believe you know what that means right?
(JOY'S POV)
Yes sir! she concurs....

Then the supervisors took our papers and we dismissed the hall.
(ROSIE 'S POV)
My friend's name is Joy. She called me Rosie as a short form of Rosemary. I have few friends for different reasons. Joy is that type of a friend that love playing and talking to much. She's also, the one that always gets me information. Sometimes, about the latest news in the class or in the environment.
She's of the talking type that never likes opening her books to study. I have tried so hard to influence her but she never cared about it.
Rosie! as she called me angrily and walked reluctantly towards me and said..
(JOY'S POV)
'I have been calling you but all to no avail' what's wrong! What's happening
(ROSIE 'S POV)
What do you expect me to do? You knew quite alright that I am sitting at the front seat and supervisors can see clearly at the front seat or do you want to implicate me? as I questioned her.
(JOY'S POV)
No! Rosie... You know that I don't want to implicate you. All I just wanted from you was the answer to question 2. but...
(ROSIE 'S POV)
but! what? Huh! as I interrupted her statement, You wanted answers to question 2? How do you even want me to do that? You are my best friend for crying out loud. and I want us to graduate together! or is there something chasing you from studying your book that you don't want me to know about it?
(JOY'S POV)
Oh! Common... You know quite alright that there's nothing chasing me off my books.
(ROSIE 'S POV)
Then prove it to me. Just few hours for studying your books would have saved you from all this embarrassment from supervisors. Well, I have said enough already. Anyway, I'm sorry, as i apologized reluctantly while sauntering to our various hostels..
(JOY'S POV)
It's fine. Apology accepted!
(ROSIE'S POV)
I exhaled happily that this paper is out. We have been writing exams for the past three weeks now. We are left with two more papers to round up with.
