    Chapter 40 Full Marks For Physics


    Monday arrived in the blink of an eye. The students arrived at their ssroom and immediately started


    chatting about the monthly exam.


    “I’m doomed. The parent-teacher conference will be held after the results are released.”


    “Yes! My mom will kill me.”


    “What should I do? The results should be out by now. I can’t bring myself to find my results. When you


    find out yours, help me find mine, too.”


    Those who did badly in the test dared not find out their results.


    “Soph, don’t be nervous. Even if you failed your physics paper, you don’t have to leave Jipsdale


    Premier High. If you leave, I’ll leave with you!”


    Sophie had said nothing after arriving at school, so Ysabelle assumed she was worried about her


    results.


    “There’s no need for that.”


    “What? Soph, I’ll go wherever you go. I’m your fan!” Ysabelle enthused.


    No matter what Sophie did, Ysabelle would side with her willingly.


    “ss is going to start soon. Go back to your seat!” Sophie didn’t feel like talking. She preferred


    silence, and her ssmates were too noisy.


    “Mm. Don’t worry! I’m here, and I’ll protect you,” Ysabelle promised.


    Right then, Carrie entered the ssroom with the answer sheets. She could barely believe her eyes


    when she saw the physics results of the students.


    m! She mmed the answer sheets onto the table loudly.


    “I thought you were merely students with bad grades, but at least you had good characters. To my utter


    shock, something this serious happened in Jipsdale Premier High, in Senior ss 8! How


    embarrassing is this?”


    Carrie started yelling the moment she stepped into the ssroom. The students were confused by her


    action.


    Bobby finally stepped out to ask, “Mrs. Fletcher, what happened? You’ve been yelling at us for some


    time, but we still don’t know what’s going on.”


    He couldn’t hold it in anymore. Carrie had never liked their ss, and it was unreasonable for her to


    yell at them for no reason.


    Carrie stopped her lecture.


    “Before exining the matter, I shall announce everyone’s physics exam marks.”


    Carrie then proceeded to announce everyone’s marks. There were thirty-six students in total, and only


    six managed to pass the test. The rest scored around forty to fifty marks.


    The students fell silent after hearing their results.


    Their physics weren’t good to begin with. This time, the physics test was too difficult. Thus, they


    assumed it was natural for Carrie to yell at them.


    “Did you forget my marks?” Sophie inquired.


    “Sophie, shut up. Don’t you know that you suck?”


    “Yes! Our ss was the secondst in physics. Now that you’re here, we’ve fallen to thest ce!”


    “Soph, calm down,” Ysabelle urged.


    She was worried that Carrie would fly into a fit of rage as thetter was ring at them angrily.


    “Mrs. Fletcher, before Sophie came, our ss’ physics results used to be secondst. You should be


    ming Sophie!” Lenora chimed in.


    “Lenora, shut the f*ck up!” Ysabelle hissed. She wanted nothing more than to rip Lenora’s lips apart.


    “Your physics suck. Am I to me for that?” Lenora was one of the six who passed her physics test.


    Her results were always good, so she was pretty smug about herself.


    “How much did I score?” Sophie asked calmly.


    “Sophie Tanner, full marks.”


    “What?”


    “Mrs. Fletcher, have you gotten it wrong?”


    It was practically impossible for a student to score full marks for the physics test this month. Even


    Bailey from Senior ss 1 couldn’t achieve this feat.


    “Really?” Ysabelle blurted excitedly.


    Indeed, Soph can do anything easily!


    “Sophie, stand up,” Carrie ordered.


    “Mrs. Fletcher, you wanted me to pass the test, and I scored full marks. Isn’t that enough?” Sophie no


    longer wanted to show any respect for Carrie.


    “Mrs. Fletcher, she must’ve stolen the test paper prior to this. No one could possibly score full marks!”


    Lenora uttered.


    Ysabelle retorted, “Shut the f*ck up, Lenora!” She would forever be supportive of Sophie.


    “Be honest with me. How did you get the test before this?” Carrie was of the opinion that Sophie had


    cheated too.


    Hearing that, Sophie snorted icily.


    “Is it that hard to acknowledge someone else’s ability?”


    “Sophie, I’m being calm right now. If you refuse to say anything, I’ll have to bring the matter to the


    principal,” Carrie warned.


    “Whatever.”


    Sophie wasn’t about to entertain Carrie when thetter was being unreasonable.


    Carrie dered, “All right. Just you wait. Jipsdale Premier High can tolerate students with bad results,


    but we’ll definitely expel those who cheat!”


    Jipsdale Premier High had this policy all along, so Sophie wouldn’t be the exception.


    Furious, Carrie marched out of the ssroom and mmed the door shut in her wake.


    The students of Senior ss 8 fell silent for a few moments before bursting into an uproar.


    “D*mn it. Mrs. Fletcher has always been mean to us. If we score badly in our physics test, she has to


    bear some sort of responsibility too, right?”


    “That’s right! She often answers calls and ys games on her phone during ss. Does she have a


    powerful background? Otherwise, why would she get to teach here?”


    The students of Senior ss 8 had been unsatisfied with Carrie for a long time. She had gone too far


    with her actions today.


    “All right. Everyone, calm down,” Bobby announced. He went to Sophie and asked, “Sophie, you didn’t


    cheat, right?”


    “Bobby!” Ysabelle huffed.


    “No,” Sophie responded nonchntly.


    Lenora snorted.


    “Sophie, even if you were to cheat, you shouldn’t copy everything and get full marks. Be smart. Do you


    think anyone will believe you’re capable of getting full marks?”


    “Sophie, if you did cheat, be honest. We can talk to the principal together. Mrs. Fletcher was rude, so I


    believe the principal won’t me you after he learns about her attitude.”


    “I said, I didn’t cheat!” Sophie’s patience was at its limit.


    Right then, the principal’s assistant showed up.


    “Sophie Tanner, the principal wants to see you at his office.”


    Sophie got to her feet and zipped her uniform up.


    “Soph, I’ll apany you!” Ysabelle offered.


    She meant what she said. If Soph gets expelled, I’ll leave the school with her!


    “No need. I can handle this myself.”


    In the principal’s office, Carrie was stillining about Sophie.


    “Mr. Langston, Jipsdale Premier High has been an elite school for decades. We can’t let one student


    ruin our reputation. It’s uneptable that this has happened in Jipsdale Premier High!” Carrie raged.


    “Sophie? Come, have a seat,” Andy said warmly.


    Sophie padded over and sat on the couch across from Carrie.


    Andy parted his lips to say, “I heard you scored full marks for your physics test this time, Sophie.”


    Sophie inclined her head.


    “But Mrs. Fletcher doesn’t think you’re capable of doing that, so she thinks you cheated. What is your


    exnation?”


    “I didn’t cheat,” came Sophie’s answer.


    Carrie sneered, “You were expelled from Horington High School but scored full marks for your physics


    test. Don’t you think your lie is too much of a stretch?”


    “Mrs. Fletcher, please mind your words,” Andy reminded.

    “Mr. Langston, I’m merely stating my doubts.”


    Right then, Sophie asked, “Mrs. Fletcher, do you have evidence to prove that I cheated during the


    test?”


    “No. I refuse to believe that you can score full marks, though.”


    “Mrs. Fletcher!” Andy said, and there was a finality to his tone that warned her to stop talking.


    Carrie is too rude to her students.
