Janet merely smiled without saying anything. She patted on Gordon’s shoulder and uttered, “Let’s return to our class. I’m bored.”
Gordon was rendered speechless. Isn’t she worried about her results at all?
Even though the school bell was ringing, the students were still discussing the results of their trial exams.
Abby, who was seated next to her, tugged on her sleeves and shyly asked, “Janet, why is your result not revealed on the notice board?”
She asked carefully, afraid of hurting Janet’s pride as a teenage girl.
While looking at Abby asking in a cautious manner, Janet couldn’t suppress the urge to tease her. She propped her chin on her hand with a raised eyebrow, saying, “Girl, you did well this time. Keep up the good work!”
Abby shyly lowered her head as she felt that she was being teased.
Just when they were chatting and laughing, the class teacher, Mr. Smith, knocked on the door. He glanced at Janet and uttered, “Miss Janet, please come to my office for a moment.”
Upon hearing that, Janet removed her earphones and walked out of the classroom.
All of the students gazed at her as they were puzzled.
“Maybe the new student has scored zero marks. Her name wasn’t listed on the notice board...”
“Perhaps she was called out to be told about this in private. Otherwise, it would hurt her self-esteem.”
“What sort of self-esteem does she have? She even shamelessly said that she can become the top 5 in our grade. It’s clear that she’s only embarrassing herself.”
Upon hearing the students’ discussion, the corner of Emily’s lips curled upward into a smile of irony. Does she even have any self-esteem? She’s so shameless, so why should the school be afraid of hurting her pride?
Janet followed the class teacher, Mr. Smith, all the way to his office.
He intended to protect her pride, so he told her his intention when there was nobody else in the office. “Janet, how do you think you did in the exam?”
