The exam I never Took

"I was in the hallway outside a classroom and everyone else was already inside. Through the little window I could see them hunched over their papers. I was still in my pajamas. Nobody seemed to notice. The exam was today. I knew that suddenly, the way you just know things in dreams. But I couldn't remember what class it was for. I kept checking my pocket for a pen and pulling out spoons. Just... spoons. I found the exam schedule taped to the wall but the letters were all numbers. A teacher walked by and I asked which room was mine. She said "you already took it." I said no I didn't. She said "you took it last year." Then I was inside, sitting down, and the paper in front of me was blank and I felt so relieved. Like, oh good, nothing to answer. I started writing my name and my hand kept going, filling the whole page with just my name, over and over, smaller and smaller. The bell rang. I hadn't answered anything. Everyone stood up. A guy said "see you Thursday" and I said "yeah" like I knew what he meant."
