Ivan rushed towards his seat in a lightning speed, grabbing his stationary out of his bag and settled down within a few seconds. He could feel his heart pumping rapidly and cold sweat running out from his forehead. He glanced at the hall clock and its hour hand had already crawled to \u20189\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018How on earth can I be late for the exam?\u2019 He could hardly believe that the Physics Exam had already started for 30 minutes. Without further thinking, Ivan began working on his Physics Exam paper\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Ring…Ring\u2026Ring\u2019 Ivan threw his pen disappointedly, as if he had just lost a race. He stared at the blank page, which is also the last page of the exam paper. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018I could have finished that\u2026Just give me 10 more minutes and I would figure out how to solve those questions!\u2019 He thought. \u2018It is not too shabby though, at least I have done all the previous pages.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Ring\u2026Ring\u2026Ring\u2019. The bell was still ringing. \u2018Ring\u2026Ring\u2026\u2019 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Why is everything so awkward today? My alarm didn\u2019t ring and now this bell is ringing non-stop. That stupid alarm\u2026\u2019 Ivan suddenly noticed that the ring tone of the bell was just like the one of his alarm clock\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Ring\u2026Ring\u2026\u2019 Ivan opened his eyes and realized that his alarm clock was crying near his pillow. He pressed the button of the alarm and stopped it from ringing.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Nightmare? Really?\u2019 Ivan was relieved when he knew that what just happened wasn\u2019t real. He recalled what he had done in the dream and nearly laughed when he remembered that he was so frustrated when he couldn\u2019t finish the \u2018Exam paper.\u2019 But his face turned pale when he noticed the time — 8:15a.m. He was late for the Physics Exam, \u2018again\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

45 minutes later, Ivan rushed towards his seat in a lightning speed, grabbing his stationary out of his bag and settled down within a few seconds. He could feel his heart pumping rapidly and cold sweat running out from his forehead. He glanced at the hall clock and its hour hand had already crawled to \u20189\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Why? Why my dream comes true?\u2019 Ivan thought \u2018And why it is a nightmare?\u2019 He knew that time is limited, without further thinking, he started doing his Physics Exam paper.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But all of a sudden, Ivan nearly cried out in excitement — \u2018The questions on this paper are exactly what I have done in my dream!\u2019 He had a victorious grin on his face and kept on doing the paper. In 15 minutes time, he successfully solved all the problems and completed the paper.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After the examination, Ivan chatted with his friends proudly.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018I bet I will beat you this time, Matt, this exam is just a piece of cake to me,\u2019 Ivan declared that in pride. \u2018I will have a higher form rank than you!\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Don\u2019t be too cocky Ivan, I bet you can\u2019t.\u2019 Matt said \u2018The loser shall pay the winner 20 dollars. How about that?\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018No problem.\u2019 Ivan added \u2018Do u mind paying me now?\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ivan returned home after school. He took out the chemistry textbooks from his bookshelf and started studying. But he couldn\u2019t stop thinking of what had happened to him.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Why should I study? I have the ability to know what will be examined!\u2019 Ivan hesitated. He knew that it was much more secure to revise, but his experience told him not to do so. Finally, he turned on his computer and completely forgot the revision. He went straight to bed at night.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ivan walked into the hall and sat on his seat. Soon, after, the teachers distributed the Chemistry Exam paper. Ivan had no intention to do the paper. He just scanned through those questions and recited the ones that he couldn\u2019t answer. After waiting patiently for an hour, the bell rang.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Ring\u2026Ring\u2026Ring\u2026\u2019 The bell stopped.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ivan sat still. His face was as pale as his exam paper.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After school, Ivan rushed back home because he was afraid of talking to Matt. Then, he discovered that his alarm clock stopped working. It was still moving, but it did not ring even after Ivan changed its\u2019 battery. He seemed to understand why he did not dream last night. However, instead of fixing the alarm clock, he threw it to the rubbish bin and picked up his biology textbook\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Here! 20 dollars.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Thank you. I thought I would lose actually, but it turns out not to be\u2026\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Me too! I did not expect you to win with F in chemistry but straight A in the others subjects!\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
