barHOMRA Writing Club ~catch all post~
I think I figured out how to do a catch all for our weekly Writing Club posts!
From now on, this will be the place to find out what the week's prompts will be, as well as the place to post your drabbles. As we've been doing, on Sunday's I'll put up the new prompts - but from now on, they are going to be posted below, in a comment to this post! If you wanna participate for that week, simply respond to the prompt comment with your entry. SIMPLE!
SARAH I FIGURED IT OUT ARE YOU PROUD OF ME?!
blahblahblah, here's the usual about rules and such one last time...You have up until next Sunday night to post your drabbles in a comment to the appropriate prompt comment. Comments will still be screened until Sunday - or until I feel like everyone who sounded interested in writing has submitted - whichever comes first. Then I'll unscreen them and everyone can read together!
Please put which prompt you chose in the header of your comment. And if your prompt ends up containing any mature content or anything that may be trigger worthy, please put a warning in your header, as well.
I hope we can continue to have fun with this XD

503. Pause
885. Tied
Cheater (from last week) + Tied
Bandou thought to himself, inching up out of his seat ever so slightly to peer over Shouhei's shoulder. All he got to see was Shouhei's slightly messy name scrawled across the top of the sheet before he quickly shoved himself back down, huddling protectively over his own test paper.
No. No, I can't cheat! I'd definitely beat him that way but.... DAMNIT BANDOU! You studied your ass off for this test!
The student seated next to Bandou noted the way he was gripping at his hair and mumbling to himself. She gave him and odd look before making a mental note to ask the teacher if he would mind moving her seat.
If you win by cheating it won't feel nearly as good as you want it to! ...damnit.
With a groan of defeat, Bandou put his pencil to the paper. He gave himself a good smack in the forehead every few minutes to try and wake up that damn memory of his. He knew he read about that bit somewhere in his notes... he thought... ugh. Unable to recall fully, he guessed instead. And by the time their teacher said 'pencils down' Bandou was certain he'd barely managed to scrape by.
"Hey San-chan, how'd you do?" Shouhei wasted no time asking once they were out of the classroom.
"Aced it." Bandou threw on that over confident grin he was so good at wearing, despite already trying to come up with a viable explanation to give to his father for the poor test grade.
Shouhei just gave him the usual bright smile, always full of hope and optimism for his friend.

The following Monday, Bandou arrived to class just as the bell was sounding. He slid stealthily into his seat behind Shouhei, hoping the teacher wouldn't notice.
"We got our tests back," Shouhei spoke quietly over his shoulder, trying not to out his friend. "Look, I got a 98."
Bandou glanced up at the paper Shouhei was holding up for him to see. His mouth fell open. A 98?! How in the hell was he supposed to beat a 98?? Never mind the horrible job he new he already did, but the mere chances to beating that grade even if he did know what the hell he'd been doing on that test were near impossible!
Gritting his teeth, Bandou almost didn't want to flip over his own paper. His failure in this one-sided competition was going to be a loss by a landslide. A landslide that he was buried under. But Shouhei had turned in his seat and was looking at him, curious and expectant.
With a sigh he turned the page over. And there, in the upper right corner of the sheet was a red number 9 followed by a red number 8. 98. He'd gotten a 98. He'd...tied Shouhei! Bandou just stared down at the paper.
"Great job, San-chan! We got the same score!"
A few more seconds of open mouth staring and Bandou finally snapped out of his trance. "Yeah well...I shoulda gotten this one right! It was a close enough answer!"
Shouhei laughed, even now Bandou was being his usual self. But Bandou quickly stopped, a small smile coming across his face as he glanced between their matching scores. Maybe a tie was good enough.
