Chapter 64
Lulu froze when she was looking at the zero-score answer sheet. Nicole had taught her the solutions for similar math problems. And Nicole’s approach was much clearer and simpler than the standard answers. She wondered how Nicole got zero marks.
Lulu turned to look at Nicole, who was reading a book. “Is this Maths Olympiad test paper with a zero score really yours?”
Nicole looked at the computer screen; it had been indeed uploaded to the school forum. “Yeah, it is mine. Why?”
Lulu was even more surprised when Nicole admitted it. “But you could answer all these questions. You have even taught me. How was it possible for you to score a zero mark?” “I forgot how to answer.” In fact, Nicole just did not bother to write all the steps. She had gotten the answers in her mind after writing only a few steps. So she skipped most steps and stated the answer directly. With Mr. Louis’s level, he must not have understood Nicole’s train of thought, so he gave a zero mark for her. Lulu stared at Nicole suspiciously, doubting Nicole’s words. When Lulu got stuck during her revision earlier, Nicole had taught her how to approach the math problems after casually taking a glance. ‘Nicole can memorize everything she read. How could she forget about the solutions? When Lulu was trying to ask for clarification, June suddenly said, “Lulu, just stop already.” Lulu had always been a little afraid of June, whose tone made her think she had disturbed her. She felt a little discontent but did not continue to speak.
Nicole glanced at June. She knew June stopped Lulu from asking further because June knew she did not want to explain.
Interesting Nicole looked thoughtfully at June, whose back was to her. June seemed to have sensed Nicole’s stare and was on pins and needles. She glanced back at Nicole and then immediately buried herself in the exercise.
Nicole raised an eyebrow but said nothing. There was a sudden, loud noise outside the door. Lulu patted her thigh and shouted, “By the way, I forgot to tell you two that some seniors are coming to spot -check the room today. Let’s clean up the room now!” After saying that, she realized that she was talking too loud and hurriedly covered her mouth. As soon as her voice trailed off, the door was rudely pushed open. “Spot check. Everyone, out!”
