Being mocked by her teacher made Arya unhappy.
She stepped on the stool and looked down at him.
"Do you dare to bet with me that Kara will be admitted to School of Arts in University A?"
The teacher raised his head and glared at Arya. He was so angry. He knew that Arya liked to cause trouble, but he didn't expect that she would be so arrogant.
"Arya, get down!"
"Don't you dare, sir?" Arya raised her chin and sneered disdainfully.
"If you don't, take back what you said. Don't restrict others' life by your narrow vision!"
She had long been displeased with this physics teacher. He exaggerated the importance of the college entrance examination. He said that if they would not be accepted by a good college, their lives would be over.
So what? The college entrance examination was a springboard to enter a good college, but getting into a good University did not mean that life was perfect.
What if she couldn't go to college? Was there no future for her?
What a joke!
...
The sunlight outside the window fell on Arya. Kara raised her head and looked at Arya's figure against the light. She felt that Arya was tough this time.
Every time someone bullied Kara, Arya would stand up for her.
When would she become strong enough to protect Arya?
Life in the third year of high school was dull. It was all about studying. Heard Arya's words, the students were excited. They, in glowing eyes, stared at Arya who was standing on the chair, patting the table to cheer her up.
This was awesome!
The teacher flushed in his face as he pointed at Arya, speaking without thinking.
"Arya, don't talk nonsense. With Kara's intelligence, you will definitely lose this bet!"
...
'Sir, I'm here. Is it proper to curse me like this?'
Kara stared at her teacher angrily.
"Alright!"
Before Arya could reply, Kara calmly spat out a word.
Arya was stunned for a second when she heard Kara's answer.
It was rare that Kara was so serious. Arya smiled and turned to look at her teacher with a provocative gaze.
"If you lose, reverse the order of your first name and last name. Or, leave this school!"
This physics teacher's surname was Fisher, and his name was Man. If they were written together, it would become Fisherman.
"Fisherman, interesting!"
The students whispered the teacher's name and covered their mouths with laughter.
"What are you laughing at? Go to study." The teacher was so angry that he glared at Kara with cold eyes, "You are not a hard-working student, but a boaster. Overestimate yourself!"
Kara took a step back out of fright, her face slightly pale.
But she thought of what Arya had said. She could not restrict her life just because of others' words.
Regardless of whether she could make it, she had to give it a shot!
And Uncle James said that he would help her realize her college dream.
She gritted her teeth, picked up the physics test paper, boldly imitated Arya, and stepped on the chair.
She lifted her physics paper into the air. "I'll get into the School of Arts in University A, even if I don't learn physics from you!"
"Wow!"
"Bravo..."
In the third year of high school, every student was studying under high pressure. The teacher who should motivate them the most actually discouraged them. The suppressed atmosphere simply couldn't make people breathe.
Kara's words thrilled all the students. Some of the students even cried out.
Everyone wanted to be a straight-A student, but there were many reasons why they couldn't make it. If teachers put all the blames on the students instead of reflecting on themselves, the students would be under a lot of pressure. And it would be easy for them to feel inferior and even got worse scores.
"Stop messing around. Be quiet!"
Mr. Man shouted to keep the students quiet, but no one listened to him.
