Uyên đã có một ngày để nhớ tuần trước. Cô đã có một kỳ thi toán học vào thứ sáu tuần trước, vì vậy cô phải thức khuya vào buổi tối trước khi tập công. Cô thức dậy muộn vào sáng hôm sau. Cô nhận ra rằng đồng hồ báo thức của cô không tắt. Khi cô rời đi, trời bắt đầu mưa to. Uyên cố gắng chạy nhanh nhất có thể. Đột nhiên cô vấp phải một tảng đá và ngã xuống. Cặp học sinh của cô rơi xuống hồ bơi và mọi thứ đều ướt. Cơn mưa dừng lại khi cô đến lớp học. May mắn thay, Uyên có đủ thời gian để hoàn thành kỳ thi của mình.
