When Your Old Nemesis Becomes the Exam Censor 😳

Let me confess something: exam season at our trade school always makes my nerves fray, but this year, fate decided to play a cruel joke. Imagine my surprise when I learned that the science exam censor is none other than my old teacher—the only one I ever thought truly unfit for the job! Back in the day, I even filed a complaint about him. Now, we’ll be stuck together for days, awkwardly sipping coffee and pretending the past never happened.
