Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42 Just Like That

“Willow, let’s go. The results are out, so we should go take a look.”

At the same time, Senior Class 1 received the news, too.

“Bailey will come first, and Willow will either be in the second or third place. They won’t be curious about their results.”

“Let’s go. We should take a look together. This time, the test was quite hard.” Willow got to her feet. Instead of her own results, she wanted to see Sophie’s scores.

She was certain that Sophie wasn’t her match.

When Willow and her friends arrived, the bulletin board was crowded.

“Scram! Your results are that way!” The students from Senior Class 1 started chasing the others away.

The top hundred students were usually from the honors classes, so there was no reason for the students from the other classes to crowd this spot.

“It’s fine. I can check out Sophie’s results first. She’s my sister, so I hope she did well.”

Willow went to the end of the bulletin board, certain Sophie didn’t do well in the test. She knew how bad Sophie’s results were back in Horington, and it was impossible for one to improve that swiftly in such a short amount of time.

“Willa, how could you be this kind? You treat her nicely, but she might not appreciate your gesture. She has a bad reputation, so you should be careful not to let her drag you down.”

The upper-class society cared about their reputation a lot.

“I don’t mind. No matter what, she’s still my sister,” Willow insisted.

“Didn’t she rank last?” Everyone assumed Sophie was going to come last, for the students at Jipsdale Premier High were pretty smart.

Willow’s smile nearly slipped when she couldn’t find Sophie’s name among the last ten students.

They moved up the list.

“Willa, how bad did your sister do? Her name isn’t even on the list!”

Hearing that, Willow sighed.

Her name isn’t even on the list? That means Sophie did really bad!

Meanwhile, Ysabelle dragged Sophie out of the classroom to check out their results.

“Oh my god! Soph, am I seeing things?” Ysabelle rubbed her eyes incredulously.

She opened her eyes wide and stared at the list again. Sophie had come in second, only scoring ten marks lesser than Bailey.

“Soph, how did you score that high?” Ysabelle was shocked.

Isn’t Soph a terrible student and a delinquent? How did this happen?

“Just like that,” came Sophie’s nonchalant answer.

She hadn’t wanted to come first and had done several questions wrong on purpose. Otherwise, Bailey wouldn’t even be her match.

Willow came over to them and sneered, “Sophie, why isn’t your name on the list? Did you do so badly that the teachers refuse to let others see your results?”

“Willa, just ignore her. She isn’t worth your time.”

“I guess no one in Jipsdale Premier High had ever scored this low, so the teachers were too embarrassed to release her results to the public.”

Willow’s friends burst out giggling.

Ysabelle was so furious she let out a snort. How dare they look down on Soph?

“Why are you snorting?” One of Willow’s friends, a girl wearing glasses, spoke out. “If you suck, you should stay in your classroom instead of embarrassing yourself in public.”

“I’m laughing at someone who’s blind. Sophie’s name is really obvious, but someone is too blind to see it.”

“Hey!”

Willow went over to the top of the list.

Bailey came first as he scored seven hundred and twenty-five marks.

Sophie came second for scoring seven hundred and fifteen marks.

Willow ranked third for scoring six hundred and eighty marks.
