    Unable to curb her curiosity, she sneakily peeked at the name, but it was covered, revealing only


    the surname “Irving”


    “Ha, it must be Carina from ss A’s paper, she guessed.


    “That kid is bright and so well–behaved.”


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    The ss A homeroom teacher beamed with pride just as Carina came by to hand in her


    homework. She pulled her aside and subtly praised, “Carina, you did well this time.”


    “Ha, more than just well you aced Spanish.”


    There were only a few top–students. Among them, only one had the sumame Irving, so the


    teachers naturally thought it was her paper.


    “Didn’t you score a 720st time? Keep it up, and you’ll definitely get into Westbrook College”


    Carina herself hadn’t expected to ace Spanish and was thrilled beyond words. This Spanish test


    had an unusually high number of new words and phrases, including a reading passage she hadn’t


    fully understood.


    Blushing, she said, “Thank you. I’ll continue to work hard.”


    “Isn’t Flora from ss 2 your cousin? I wonder how she did. I heard she even made a bet with


    Ms. Jade, right?” someone in the office mentioned, keen on stirring things up.


    Jade’s face darkened.


    “I was proctoring Flora’s exam room, and that child slept through the entire thing. Both are from the


    Irving family, yet so different.”


    The teachers shook their heads in disappointment.


    Jade’s expression grew even grimmer. She was embarrassed by ss 2 each time during exams.


    “ss Z is just a bunch of hopeless cases, and Flora is a disgrace to Westbrook High School


    “Ms. Jade, that’s not right to say,” the ss 2 homeroom teacher, Keaton, interjected, displeased.


    “We’re teachers. No matter what, we shouldn’t speak of our students that way”


    He knew about the dispute between Flora and Jade, including their bet. He did not like Flora


    himself, and thinking she was on the verge of expulsion, he hadn’t intervened.


    Still, as the teacher of ss Z, he couldn’t allow such disrespect


    Jade, face grim, said no more. Carina also wisely made her exit.


    Just minutes after she left, a shout of astonishment came from the office. “Only one point off in


    Literature! My goodness!”


    Hearing this, the teachers hurried over.


    A student only had one point off on the reading section. And they had a perfect score on the


    composition!


    A:


    Theposition was bold and proud, stirring excitement in the reader.


    “This student has quite the ir for writing!”


    “Wait, why does this handwriting look so familiar…” The first teacher quickly retrieved the Spanish


    paper andpared the handwriting to the Literature paper–it was identical.


    This doesn’t seem to be Carinas… the Literature teacher remarked. He had graded Carina’s


    Literature work before, which was overly flowery and pedantic, nothing like thismanding and


    bold piece.


    Driven by curiosity, they sneakily checked the name.


    The entire office was struck as if by lightning!


    “Flora?! How could it be her!”
