Notes: This is probably canon. Not sure that it will show up in an update though, unless in passing. It depends on how things go. Anna is a member of this generation's first circle.
Anna stared at the letter. She'd failed again. Oh she'd done better. She was so close to passing this time. Another two percentage points and she'd have done it. It wasn't fair!
She knew the material. She'd studied so hard, and so long. When she took the practice tests at home she was well over the level she needed to get into university early. But when she entered the exam room, she panicked. Every time.
Two percentage points. Two!
She felt the tears forming behind her eyes. She scrunched up her mouth and eyes to keep them back.
Two percentage points. Three questions. She'd disappointed Miny, Stasey, herself with three questions.
She was breathing short shallow breaths like a horse but faster. She could feel her body shaking. She might as well be sobbing but she wouldn't let her mouth and eyes join in.
"Anna?"
Hearing her mother's voice, she ran upstairs, slid down behind the door, and let go.
