High School: Way to Forever

Cold shower was poured on Anna. Her clothes, as well as her whole hairs, were wet now. Drops of water were dropping from Anna's face making her glow more. Till this time, she was already coming back into her senses.

On the other hand, Alex was holding Anna tightly so he was also soaked by water.

When Alex came close and said about the kiss, this made Anna whole alert as well as shocked.

Her eyes were wide opened.

She lowered her head.

Anna was trapped in between his hands. Nowhere to escape!

"A-Alex, don't j-joke around." Anna said and pushed Alex a little back.

Hearing what Anna said, Alex knew he exceeded the limit.

"Sorry. You take a shower again and come out. I'm going to discuss something with sir." he walked so fast that Anna didn't even get a chance to ask why he is going.

Alex's clothes were already a mess and wrinkled, but he didn't care.

Only he knew how much self-control he needed in the bathroom, where Anna's body was visible a little bit through her clothes.

'Oh God, help me.'

.....

Alex came to the restaurant, where judges along with his sir were sitting.

"I'm sorry." this was the first thing he said before they can even react.

"It was not your mistake. You did right. Is the girl alright?" asked one of the judges.

Alex nodded.

"It is good. Will you be able to take the quiz tomorrow?" the judge asked Alex. Sir also wanted to ask this. He wanted them to say yes, but he can't force them after what happened today.

"We will. Just push the timings a little forward."

"Sure."

Soon, everyone returned to their own room.

Alex took a deep breath and went inside.

He saw Anna already asleep. He rubbed her hair and wished her good night and also went to sleep.

....

Next morning.

Anna woke up early and saw Alex was still sleeping. Whatever happened yesterday was still fresh in her mind. Reminding what he asked her, Anna started blushing.

She took out a locket from her bag, "Wish me luck. You are with God. I hope you bless me and be happy with what I'm doing." She kissed the locket and put it on her neck.

"Alex!! Wake up. Today is the quiz."

"Two minutes more." saying this he again started snoring.

Anna sighed. 'I've got an idea.' Anna took a jar and pour water on Alex's face.

"Ahhhhhhhh...." Alex was not fully awake with drenched in water.

"Anna, is this a way you wake up someone?" his voice was a little horse.

"Yes. We have a quiz today and we have to win it."

"I also know that. Go get ready." Til now, his voice was clear.

They both soon got ready and walked to the main entrance of the hotel.

"Anna, why did Peter hit you?" Alex suddenly asked.

"I will tell you everything if we win and go to the mountains."

He understood that right now, she wants to concentrate only on this quiz.

There were 4 teams. Sant., Ciax, Foe, and Dales.

Peter was already thrown out of the team.

Sir wished them all the best and asked them to focus only on the quiz. He didn't want Anna to remember last night's events.

"So, here we start the quiz. There will be a total 3 rounds.

First Round will be a pass on round. Each team will get 30 seconds to answer and if they choose to pass it, the next team will get only 15 seconds to answer it. If the pass on question is answered correctly, they will get 5 marks."

Everyone nodded.

Round First began and Ciax Won this round. At second place was Sant. High school, 3 marks behind.

"Alex, we have to buckle up" Anna whispered.

"We will." Alex was confident they can do it.

In the second round, it was a picture round. They had to guess Mathematician's name.

After completing this round, the Ciax team and the Sant team were at equal marks that are 35.

"As we know, the two top teams enter the third round that is Ciax and Sant team. So this round will be between both of them. The round will start in two minutes." The anchor said.

Anna now was very nervous. She started sweating. Her heartbeat was increased.

"Anna, nothing will happen. Just stay calm."

Anna glared at him and said, "You better be quiet or I will kill you right now." Yes! She wanted peace, which she will not get till they win.

"Let's start the round. This round us buzzer round, the first question contains 10 marks, the second question contain 20 marks and the third question contain 40 marks. The first question is on screen."

Anna read the question and just pressed the buzzer but Ciax pressed it. Their answer was also correct.

"Alex, it was just a 0.5-second difference." Anna was going to cry because of anxiety.

"Be prepared for the next question." He didn't want to lose focus, especially right now.

"The second question is on the screen."

Again, Anna was going to press the buzzer and but this time, both teams pressed it together.

"We will check who pressed it first." The guide said. Anna was praying that it was their chance because she knew the answer but luck wasn't on her side.

"Ciax team gets the chance to answer," Guide announced.

"Alex, we can't win." Anna was now sure they can't. Question three will be the toughest. Only people having a high IQ can do it.

Alex glanced at her and asked her to stay behind him.

"Next and last question is on screen." Guide said.

It was really tough. It was more like a puzzle to solve.contemporary romance

For 30 seconds, no one pressed the buzzer!!

After seeing the question, she knew that neither she nor Alex can answer it so the winners are Ciax.

She had lowered her head towards the floor and tears were on their edge of falling

Suddenly she heard a buzzer's voice!
