I still remember the first day I took an exam

I still remember the first day I took an exam:
One week before the exam, I stayed up late to study. It was my first time taking the IELTS so I was a bit nervous. That day I took the exam in the afternoon, I wore very simple: jeans and a T-shirt. After going through the basic procedures, I was taken to the waiting room.
This is where the memories begin. I sat next to a male friend, my first impression was that he was very handsome and especially talkative. Perhaps he is very confident in his ability to speak English. That's why he invited everyone to practice speaking with him and I was the first to be invited.
At that time, I was very embarrassed and was still shaking a bit so I didn't know what to say when he asked. When he saw me like that, he understood, so he reassured and comforted me. And he said this is his 2nd time taking the IELTS test, last time got 7.5 so this time his goal is 9.0. After that, I also felt better and didn't shake anymore. I admire him. We exchanged contact information and now we are friends.
It’s a truly unforgettable memory.
