fry_sandhuThe Holby West exam is almost, in Fry's opinion, a practice run. He'd be happy going to this school - it's a good school - but it's a bit of a long commute and it's not as exciting as Oaking.
He finishes the maths exam half an hour early, and does all the questions again to pass the time. The reasoning paper is pretty straightforward too. That just leaves the comprehension, which is his most difficult subject, but he gives it his best shot.
"You're trying for a music scholarship, aren't you?" one of the prefects who is helping with the exam, says. "You need to come to the music block."
Fry, who had been expecting this, follows him. He sits at the piano, and plays his pieces perfectly. The head of music looks very impressed.
"How have you found Holby West?" the teacher asks, when he's finished.
Fry pauses. He hadn't realised there might be interview questions today. He is meant to be practicing those with Mr Irons next week, and he'd only been preparing for the Oaking ones at home.
"Well." He says. "We typed it into google maps, and Dad drove me here according to the directions."
The head of music frowns slightly.
"What do you think of the school?"
"I think it's quite a good school." Fry says. "I mean, it's the third best in Holby in the league tables, which is quite impressive. The uniform smells a little odd but I'm sure I could get used to it."
"I see. And what would you say is your greatest challenge as a musician?"
Fry considers this.
"Clapping."
"Clapping?"
"Yes. If people clap too loudly, sometimes I run out of the room."
"I see. Well, thank you Alexander, we'll be in touch."
Fry takes his music and leaves. Well, that wasn't so bad. He managed to answer all of the questions, even though he wasn't expecting any, so that means he's bound to pass.
