I was fidgeting, stuttering, and sweating the whole school day. Counterintuitively, the day after exams turned out to be a worst-case scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I had been on pins and needles since I passed the classroom door. It was because of the sudden news about exam paper distribution of all subjects. I started to have butterflies in my stomach and didn\u2019t expect much due to the fact that I was under the weather during the exam weeks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u2018Ring\u2026\u2019 Recess ended, and teachers came into the classroom with piles of paper. \u2018This is a special year. Unlike what we did before, the school decided to distribute all exam papers to students in one go.\u2019 I was doomed. My heart dropped to the pit of my stomach when I heard the declaration from my class teacher. With shaking legs and hands, I received my nine thick exam papers. I took a glimpse of my marks, and a cold wave of dread washed over me. Oh my goodness! Poor me! I failed all my subjects! I couldn\u2019t believe my eyes and lost my soul until the bell rang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;My friend, Lucy, hopped to my seat. I could see the grin on her face from far away. \u2018How is it? Are you on top of the world like me?\u2019 She asked me in a joyful tune. \u2018I failed all my subjects.\u2019 I beckoned her over and whispered ear to ear. Her eyes and mouth were never that big. She changed her emotion all of a sudden. \u2018That\u2019s the way the cookie crumbles.\u2019 She tried to cheer me up. However, I was bent out of shape and even more aggrieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u2018It\u2019s true! Cherry failed all subjects!\u2019 A rude classmate yelled at the top of his lungs. I could hear the sound of laughter. My cheeks burned as I met the sharp, accusing glares of my classmates. I wished the Earth would open up and swallow me. I tried my very best to disguise my mortification the entire day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What a day! I\u2019ll probably be teased by classmates for years because of this incident. This is my most profound regret. I\u2019ll never tell my friends any secrets!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I\u2019m so sorry, diary. I\u2019ve written way too much today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cheers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cherry<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- wp:paragraph --><p>Dear Diary<\/p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><p>Gee whiz, I feel a glow of happiness as the day has finally passed.
