At 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.
Just 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.
