After a long while, they finally got rid of the crowd and got near the bulletin board.
However, Trisha got intimidated as she covered her eyes. “Sannie, I don‘t dare to look at it. Please take a look for me.”
“Okay.” Arielle nodded while approaching the board.
At first glance, she saw Trisha‘s name at sixth place.
Her gaze darkened slightly as her smile disappeared.
Still, she lost by just a little. But sixth place seems like the perfect spot.
Arielle started making plans secretly in her mind.
Just when she was about to turn and tell Trisha about it,
Trisha had gotten to her side.
After seeing her ranking, her eyes started brimming with tears.
472 points. It was just three points less than fifth place.
It meant it was just the gap of one question, but it took away her chance for the early admissions exam with Maxwell University.
She had always been in sixth place during the tests in the class. She thought with Arielle‘s help this time. She would manage to achieve fifth place. However, the reality turned out to be cruel.
At that moment, Trisha was filled with utter disappointment.
It was the worst feeling to have come this far but to fail just by an inch.
Staring at Trisha‘s expression, Arielle opened her mouth. “Trisha, actually, you still can…”
“Forget it.” Trisha shook her head and forced a smile. “You don‘t have to comfort me. Maybe it is my destiny to get the sixth place.”
“It‘s not like that. Trisha, I want to tell you that the slots for early admission…”
“Sannie,” Trisha interrupted her again. “You don‘t need to comfort me. Even if I get the slot, I won‘t be able to pass the exam to enter Maxwell University at my level. I feel more relieved if this slot belongs to another person. If not, it might be wasted. So please stop mentioning it.”
