When Tanner quietly spoke to them again, Adi opened his eyes. He was done thinking up of his question. He briefly looked at Benny as he wondered if his bestie- boyfriend had gotten hold of a question and if he had, what was it.

But looky! Tanner was having those containers with the sticks levitated to them. Cool! Adi happily snagged one. Yep, loads of sticks in there with an end in red and the other with a number inscribed on it would be in there. As for partners? Well, his was right next to him. He looked over at Benny. “I’m wondering if I’ll pass all my NEWTs,’’ he told him. Nah, he didn’t need to ask if they should partner up or even suggest it. Also, he had no misgivings about sharing the question. They couple always told each other everything, anyway.
