"What did you just say? Flora got a zero??"
Everyone was in shock after hearing the staff member's announcement. They knew Flora hadn't taken the test seriously and didn't expect a high score, but a zero? That was beyond belief.
"So many multiple-choice questions, and not even one correct?" someone muttered.
The staff member continued, "Ms. Flora believes there's been a mistake with her score and has requested a review. She's been taken to Ms. Abbey's office."
"I agree, there's definitely something wrong with that score!" Kruz slammed his hand on the table and stood up, his face flushed with anger. He remembered how Flora had aced that ridiculous exam in Austenberg. There was no way she could score a zero now. Even if she had guessed, she should have gotten at least a couple right.
"No, I have to go help Flora," he declared, his mind racing. He suspected Abbey was behind this. He had heard about the clashes between Flora and Abbey, and how Abbey had always been jealous of Flora for winning Connor's affection. Maybe Abbey really could stoop so low.
"Calm down, you big oaf. Are you really going to trust that woman? What if Flora really did score a zero?" Ethan said, frowning.
"Then I'll eat my hat!" Kruz retorted before storming off.
After a moment, Kruz decided to follow, but in a different direction. She had someone specific in mind she needed to find.
Adrian and the others exchanged glances, then stood up and headed home. They couldn't let Flora face this injustice alone. If there was a problem with her score, they needed to uncover the truth. Of course, they didn't have the means themselves; they would need their parents' help...
Meanwhile, as soon as Kruz left, he called Connor. "Bro, there's trouble! Something's happened to Flora!"
