"Yes, I'm ready," said Arbaaz.

"Aren't you students? Don't you have your papers in a few days? How are you going to have fun in the pool now?"

When Zoya said this, their plan to go swimming was bulldozed flat.

"You are right, Zoya. Exams make us so scared. Who knows who invented them?" both said in unison.

Zoya chuckled.

"You can't lose all hope. In the same way that rehearsals take place before a play, why don't we rehearse as well? Maybe then, we won't be so scared," she said, and both readily agreed.

"But where will we get the paper from?" both asked.

Zoya said she would look after that. She worked hard all night and made a dummy question paper, took it to class the next day, and called her friends to study in the hall.
