when the timer goes
ding!

I jump out of my skin,
pen clattering across my desk.

Our paper's are collected
and we're asked to wait.

Mei's parent's look worried,
her mother rubs her hands
over her daughter's back
and her father smiles encouragingly,

they don't suspect her.

Mother motions
for me to sit next to her

and when I do,
she holds my hand in hers

and strokes my palm softly,

"Don't worry,the truth is always revealedin the end."............

a small part of my mind
flitters back to Orsai's words and
t w i n g e s

with worry.
