T4 Blog Writing Prompt #3

It was Monday afternoon. Everyone is revising hard for the last paper of the Primary 5 End-of-Year examination, which was Science. Science was the toughest of all subjects and required us to spend much more time revising than other papers. I had already revised through 9 chapters and was left with 6 more chapters to go. I was arranging my notes when the phone rang. I rushed to the phone to answer the call.

"Hey Cousin! Today’s my birthday! How about we go out and catch a movie? " my cousin, Steve said enthusiastically. I hesitated for a moment. As I was busy preparing for the examinations recently, I have completely forgotten that today was his birthday. What am I suppose to do, I thought to myself. I definitely do not have the time to go out and watch a movie as I have not finished revising. Furthermore, I am not a fan of watching movies. However, I would not want to reject his offer as I do not wish to disappoint him. I thought over it and eventually decided to accompany him to the movies. “Alright then, see you there at 5pm, " I replied.

Steve was delighted upon hearing the good news. However, I was not able to concentrate throughout the whole movie. I was afraid that I would not be able to finish revising in time. After the movie, Steve thanked me and he said that he was very happy that we were able to watch a movie together. Then, we parted and I rushed home to revise immediately.

I did not manage to revise through all that we had learned but only revised through 12 out of 15 chapters. The results came back a week later and I scored 63 marks for science. Normally, I would be able to score about 70 marks. Although watching a movie with John had caused me to not finish revising and ended up scoring lower than usual, I am sure that I had made the right choice as I was able to make him happy and not disappoint him on his birthday.
