STACH Short Story Contest #21: 199 words, 5 winners, 15SBD prize pool!

I knew my weakness was math. I tried, but every time I picked it up to study, well, that was the moment the sun became so beautiful, or the silver lining in the clouds magnificent. So as you expect, I just toss it away and day dream… that was way more fun.
I wouldn’t bother reading until my mum yelled at me, even at that, I’d just pretend to be studying…lying to everybody. Well, this went on for the entire term, and was time for the CA tests. Well, I just have a few topics to go over and have a crash course…study all night and I’ll be fine.
Yeah, that totally worked…since day1, just had that one night stand and the exams were passed. Finally, WAEC was here, it doesn’t matter, I have a strategy that never failed me before… I prepared vigorously for the exams… except math of course.
Exams came, math came, it was cumbersome, but did it. Everything I studied came out… but just couldn’t figure out how to go about them. I didn’t practice repeatedly. My result’s all As and Bs…but I can’t get into the university because I had an F in math.
