Fifteen minutes later, Rose stood up from her seat with the question paper in her hand and walked towards where Mr. Hughes was standing and stretched the paper to him.
“I'm done." She calmly told him.
Mr. Hughes' eyes widened when he heard her. “A-are you sure? I mean you still have five minutes left, so you can cross check your work again." He said, glancing at the clock, seeing that there was still five minutes left before the one hour deadline he gave Rose to finish the question paper.
“I know that, but I'm done answering the question and I don't need to recheck my answers.” Rose replied with an innocent expression on her face. She didn't understand why Mr. Hughes was telling her that she still had more time when she knew that.
‘Is this spoiled brat kidding me right now? How can you answer all that question in just fifteen minutes.’ Mr. Hughes thought, but he couldn't say anything and just collected the paper from Rose.
“In that case, you can return back to the headmistress office. I will go through your answer and bring the result to the headmistress office." Mr. Hughes said as he walked out of the classroom.
“I'm impressed." The boy said as he led Rose back to the headmistress office. He had a smile on his face and didn't have the same expression he had an hour ago.
Rose raised her head and when she saw his smiling face, she creased a brow at him. ‘What is wrong with this kid's expression? Why is he smiling like a stupid idiot all of a sudden?’ she eyed him suspiciously.
“What is that supposed to mean?" She asked with an indifferent expression on her face as she stopped in her pace and he did the same.
The boy smiled when he saw Rose's indifferent expression. There are only a handful of people he usually smiles at and Rose was starting to become one of those people.
“I'm impressed with the way you handle the exam back there." He repeated himself again, but the frown on Rose's face didn't disappear.
"What's there to be so impressed about?" She rolled her eyes at him and the next thing she knew, he raised his hand and flicked her forehead.
“Your eyeball would roll out if you do that." He scolded but received a freezing glare from Rose which made him chuckle slightly at her.
“Don't touch me without my permission. My skin is very delicate and it would leave a red mark from your flicking." She grumbled and walked away. ‘How dare he?’
"You're going the wrong way." He said to Rose who was still walking in front of him.
