With that, she pulled out a practice sheet she’d prepared earlier and set it in front of Noah. “Here. If you don’t believe me, try working through this.
“It covers the main topics from previous midterm exams.
“These are pretty much the core problems that usually show up.
“Give it a shot.”
When she said that, Noah mumbled under his breath, “No way it’s that spot-on.”
Even so, he took the paper from Isabella and started solving problems without another word.
By now, Noah was used to doing practice sets Isabella gave him.
Besides, his low mood didn’t last long-he bounced back quickly anyway.
Moping around wasn’t going to help; he still had to put in the work.
He was already getting about thirty percent right, and he’d only improve from here.
Back when he used to get into fights with Ethan, didn’t he always end up pinned down and beaten?
But after training hard, he’d managed to land a few punches on Ethan too.
Following that logic, if he kept at it, he could definitely pull an F+ on the midterms!

“You really know how to make a guy feel better.
“Ugh, if only the real midterms were this easy.
“Congratulations, Ms. Powell! You’re officially the world’s best teacher!
“Turning an F-grade slacker into a solid C student-something no one’s ever seen!”
He pulled a playful face at Isabella.
Isabella laughed. “Not bad. You even used the right idiom-definite progress.”

While the two of them were joking around, Hannah was fuming on the other side of the room.
She kept her head down, avoiding looking directly at Isabella or Noah, but from the corner of her eye she kept catching glimpses of them.
Seeing how well they got along-how easy and warm the vibe was between them-Hannah felt like resentment was eating her up inside.
Noah had never been nice to her, but with Isabella he was all charm, trying to please her.
If Noah had treated everyone with the same coldness he showed her, it wouldn’t have stung so much.
But now, she was burning with bitterness.
Why did Isabella get Noah’s attention?
