Chapter 88


    Mr. Easton was on the stage, lecturing with fervent energy, his enthusiasm sending words flying


    across the room


    Suddenly, he caught sight of Aaron sitting against the wall, sneakily engrossed in his own world.


    Mr. Easton’s face darkened as he briskly stepped down from the podium.


    Still engrossed and unaware, Aaron didn’t notice his teacher approaching until it was toote.


    “Hand over your phone! The teacher’s booming voice thundered abow him, making Aaron look up


    abruptly. He met Mr. Easton’s furious gaze, his face turning pale.


    “Sir,


    “Give me the phone”


    Aaron clutched his phone tightly, his face ashen. His phone was filled with messages about debts.


    How could he dare to hand it over to the teacher?


    Mr. Easton was disappointed yet concemed. He eximed, “Aaron, do you think you have all the


    time in the world? Your scores on the recent quiz put you at the bottom. You didn’t even reach the


    average benchmark!”


    “You know your family’s financial situation. If you’re aware of your hardships, you should be working


    harder academically than anyone


    elser


    Mr. Easton was deeply disheartened.


    Although Aaron’s grades weren’t always outstanding, they were consistently good enough for a


    respectable university eptance.


    However, in thest two months, there had been a drastic decline. Mention of him by any teacher


    was met with head–shaking disappointment.


    “Since you’re not interested in the lesson, out you go now!”


    The disdain in Mr. Easton’s eyes, coupled with the anticipatory gazes of his ssmates, felt like


    sharp des cutting into Aaron.


    He barely dared to lift his head and hurried out to stand by the door.


    As soon as the bell rang for the end of the ss, Jade left ss 2 without looking back.


    The relief among the students of ss Z was palpable. Jade’s Spanish ss was nothing short of


    torment for them.


    After ss, a student approached Flora, mentioning that the head teacher, Mr. Keaton, needed to


    see her


    In the office, Carina was there too.


    “Carina, your performance this time was somewhat disappointing.


    The head teacher of ss A spoke softly, “Your scores in Spanish and Geography have dropped


    significantly, causing you to fall out of the top ten. Are you feeling too pressuredtely?”


    “I’ve just been a bit tired. Carina looked down at her score report, feeling bitter.


    She had scored only six hundred and eighty points. It was her all–time low.


    “Senior year is tough, and the pressure is high, but there are only a few months left. Push a little


    harder. Even with your scores, hope isn’t

    lost”


    “Thank you, sir.”


    “Alright, you can go now.”


    As Carina was about to leave, she saw Flory/enter.


    Flora walked straight to Mr. Keaton’s desk, “Six you wanted to see me.”


    “Ah, Miss Floral”


    The office teachers greeted Flora warmly. The teacher who had just been talking to Carina even


    scooted closer to Mr. Keaton.


    This kind of reception used to be reserved for Carina…


    In the past, whenever she visited the office, the teachers were always so enthusiastic, but now, that


    attention had shifted to Flora


    Carina bit her lip, and left.


    “Miss Flora, please take a look at your report card.” Mr. Keaton handed her the report card with a


    hint of imitation, emphasizing the


    10:07


    Spanish section. “Care to exin? Zero points again?”


    didn’t want to do it.”


    Flora’s nonchnt reply almost made Mr. Keaton explode with frustration.


    Her scores in other subjects were nearly perfect, except for Spanish. It was indeed a headache for


    Mr. Keaton.
