NovelStartAt class. Arielle had just sat down when Henry came to chat with her. He shared, “I see you chose B for
all the multiple choice questions. You should follow my suit and choose C instead. The chances are
much higher that way.”
Arielle simply found it funny.
Oh dear lord, the one who failed his class is sharing his experience with me… This has got to be the
funniest sh*t ever.
Arielle shook her head and replied, “I know the answer to most. I’m just a little confused about the
Chanaean
paper.”
It was obvious that Henry didn’t think she was telling the truth because he worked with her and nodded
before saying, “Me too. Those are the only questions I can’t answer. All the other subjects’ questions
can be done by guessing, but Chanaean is impossible.”
Arielle was speechless and exasperated. I wasn’t lying, you know.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust then, Donovan knocked on the desk and announced, “Be quiet. Follow my instructions as I
announce your results. Those whose names are called are to queue up outside and wait for your seats
to be assigned.”
Everyone instinctively sat up straight. Even Henry had his guard up.
Arielle scanned the place from the corner of her eyes. Everyone was on high alert except Jared. He
remained leaning against his desk and looked like he would never get enough sleep.
That was when Donovan announced, “The first position goes to Wendy Greene who scored one
hundred and fifty-seven points.”
The test totaled one hundred and eighty points, so one hundred and fifty-seven was an incredible
score.
Donovan shot a look of approval at Wendy, who stood up with a smile and headed out to queue up.
Before she left, she turned nonchalantly in Arielle’s direction, as if to brag about her victory.
Arielle, however, never even noticed Wendy. The former was curious about how well she did in the two
other subjects after she abandoned her languages test.
If everything goes according to plan, I should have perfect scores for those two subjects.
Perfect scores for those two subjects plus the potential lucky strike in the five multiple-choice
questions… I should have at least one hundred and thirty points.
I wonder how well I’d rank with one hundred and thirty points?
The names were called one after another. Those with one hundred and thirty points were called soon
after, but
Arielle wasn’t one of them.
One hundred and twenty-five… she still wasn’t on the list.
Donovan kept calling out names, but Arielle’s name was never called out, even after Kelsea’s ninety-
three points were mentioned.
Donovan paused and told Kelsea, “Keep it up, Kelsea. Your foundation is weak, but most of the classes
I offer are not related to the subjects taught in previous years. Work hard. You have a lot of potential.”
“Thank you, Mr. Baxter,” replied Kelsea with a smile. She might’ve been the fourth last student of the
class, but Donovan’s encouragement prompted her to go queue up with a smile.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDonovan watched as Kelsea left. He then turned his attention to the remaining students before
informing, “The rest of you can go out on your own. Pick a seat only after everyone else has taken
theirs.”
Arielle frowned instantly. She sprung up and called out to Donovan, who was about to leave. “Mr.
Baxter!” said Arielle.
Donovan paused and frowned a little before he turned to her and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“What is my score?” asked Arielle icily as she glared at Donovan and pointed out, “You haven’t
announced my score or the score of the two other students here.”
Her words got Jared, who had been dozing off, to sit up slowly and shift his gaze over. He raised his
brows and stared meaningfully at Arielle.
She spoke politely, but her aura was strong. She was so powerful that she overwhelmed Donovan.
Jared suddenly found that to be fun, so he kicked Henry, who was sitting at the side.
The two of them had been terrible friends with horrible influences on each other for years. Hence, even
the slightest hint would tell Henry what Jared was thinking.
After being kicked, Henry received the message immediately and stood up beside Arielle. The former
told Donovan, “That’s right, Mr. Baxter. Why didn’t you announce my score? I have the right to know
how well I did even if I end up being ranked the last in class.”
