Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40 Full Marks For Physics

Monday arrived in the blink of an eye. The students arrived at their classroom and immediately started chatting about the monthly exam.

“I’m doomed. The parent-teacher conference will be held after the results are released.”

“Yes! My mom will kill me.”

“What should I do? The results should be out by now. I can’t bring myself to find my results. When you find out yours, help me find mine, too.”

Those who did badly in the test dared not find out their results.

“Soph, don’t be nervous. Even if you failed your physics paper, you don’t have to leave Jipsdale Premier High. If you leave, I’ll leave with you!”

Sophie had said nothing after arriving at school, so Ysabelle assumed she was worried about her results.

“There’s no need for that.”

“What? Soph, I’ll go wherever you go. I’m your fan!” Ysabelle enthused.

No matter what Sophie did, Ysabelle would side with her willingly.

“Class is going to start soon. Go back to your seat!” Sophie didn’t feel like talking. She preferred silence, and her classmates were too noisy.

“Mm. Don’t worry! I’m here, and I’ll protect you,” Ysabelle promised.

Right then, Carrie entered the classroom with the answer sheets. She could barely believe her eyes when she saw the physics results of the students.

Slam! She slammed the answer sheets onto the table loudly.

“I thought you were merely students with bad grades, but at least you had good characters. To my utter shock, something this serious happened in Jipsdale Premier High, in Senior Class 8! How embarrassing is this?”

Carrie started yelling the moment she stepped into the classroom. The students were confused by her action.

Bobby finally stepped out to ask, “Mrs. Fletcher, what happened? You’ve been yelling at us for some time, but we still don’t know what’s going on.”

He couldn’t hold it in anymore. Carrie had never liked their class, and it was unreasonable for her to yell at them for no reason.

Carrie stopped her lecture.

“Before explaining the matter, I shall announce everyone’s physics exam marks.”

Carrie then proceeded to announce everyone’s marks. There were thirty-six students in total, and only six managed to pass the test. The rest scored around forty to fifty marks.

The students fell silent after hearing their results.

Their physics weren’t good to begin with. This time, the physics test was too difficult. Thus, they assumed it was natural for Carrie to yell at them.

“Did you forget my marks?” Sophie inquired.

“Sophie, shut up. Don’t you know that you suck?”

“Yes! Our class was the second last in physics. Now that you’re here, we’ve fallen to the last place!”

“Soph, calm down,” Ysabelle urged.

She was worried that Carrie would fly into a fit of rage as the latter was glaring at them angrily.

“Mrs. Fletcher, before Sophie came, our class’ physics results used to be second last. You should be blaming Sophie!” Lenora chimed in.

“Lenora, shut the f*ck up!” Ysabelle hissed. She wanted nothing more than to rip Lenora’s lips apart.

“Your physics suck. Am I to blame for that?” Lenora was one of the six who passed her physics test. Her results were always good, so she was pretty smug about herself.

“How much did I score?” Sophie asked calmly.

“Sophie Tanner, full marks.”

“What?”

“Mrs. Fletcher, have you gotten it wrong?”

It was practically impossible for a student to score full marks for the physics test this month. Even Bailey from Senior Class 1 couldn’t achieve this feat.

“Really?” Ysabelle blurted excitedly.

Indeed, Soph can do anything easily!

“Sophie, stand up,” Carrie ordered.

“Mrs. Fletcher, you wanted me to pass the test, and I scored full marks. Isn’t that enough?” Sophie no longer wanted to show any respect for Carrie.

“Mrs. Fletcher, she must’ve stolen the test paper prior to this. No one could possibly score full marks!” Lenora uttered.
