Chapter 847
Henry Instantly perked up and murmured, “It’s time to find out how well we did on yesterday’s paper! You worked on it till two in the morning, didn’t you? I wonder what score you’ll get.”
Jared remained silent, but his expression was a dead giveaway to how equally eager he was to find out.
Shortly after, Donovan made the announcement. “The first place goes to Wendy Greene, who scored ninety points.”
A round of scattered, almost obligatory applause rang out from the class.
Even though Wendy wasn’t well-liked, there was no denying that she was smart as a whip. As such, some of her classmates were still gracious enough to give credit where credit was due.
When the applause died down, Donovan continued, “In the second place, we have Terry Fuller with eighty-eight points.”
Then, Donovan proceeded to announce the third and fourth place.
It was only at the sixth place that Donovan finally called out Trisha’s name.
Trisha, however, was anything but happy as she glanced at Arielle’s seat.
If Arielle were here, she‘d have easily topped the class. I wonder if she can make it back for tomorrow‘s exam.
With so many racing thoughts in her mind, Trisha couldn’t help but feel even more dismal.
Meanwhile, Henry was still outside the classroom, listening with bated breath for the announcement of Jared’s name. Alas, it never came.
Left scratching his head, Henry turned to look at his friend. “Hey, did you forget to hand in your paper?”
“No,” Jared replied with a frown. “I was the first to do so.”
