Pursuing Her 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.” 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.Ysabelle retorted, “Shut the f*ck up, Lenora!” She would forever be supportive of Sophie.”Be

honest with me. How did you get the test before this?" Carrie was of the opinion that Sophie had

cheated too.Hearing that, Sophie snorted icily.”Is it that hard to acknowledge someone else's

ability?"“Sophie, I'm being calm right now. If you refuse to say anything, I'll have to bring the matter

to the principal,” Carrie warned."Whatever.”Sophie wasn't about to entertain Carrie when the latter

was being unreasonable.Carrie declared, “All right. Just you wait. Jipsdale Premier High can tolerate

students with bad results, but we'll definitely expel those who cheat!"Jipsdale Premier High had this

policy all along, so Sophie wouldn't be the exception.Furious, Carrie marched out of the classroom

and slammed the door shut in her wake.The students of Senior Class 8 fell silent for a few moments

before bursting into an uproar.”D*mn it. Mrs. Fletcher has always been mean to us. If we score badly

in our physics test, she has to bear some sort of responsibility too, right?”“That's right! She often

answers calls and plays games on her phone during class. Does she have a powerful background?

Otherwise, why would she get to teach here?"The students of Senior Class 8 had been unsatisfied

with Carrie for a long time. She had gone too far with her actions today."All right. Everyone, calm

down,” Bobby announced. He went to Sophie and asked, “Sophie, you didn't cheat, right?"“Bobby!”

Ysabelle huffed."No,” Sophie responded nonchalantly.Lenora snorted.”Sophie, even if you were to

cheat, you shouldn't copy everything and get full marks. Be smart. Do you think anyone will believe

you're capable of getting full marks?"“Sophie, if you did cheat, be honest. We can talk to the

principal together. Mrs. Fletcher was rude, so I believe the principal won't blame you after he learns

about her attitude.”I said, I didn't cheat!” Sophie's patience was at its limit.Right then, the

principal's assistant showed up.”Sophie Tanner, the principal wants to see you at his office.”Sophie

got to her feet and zipped her uniform up.”Soph, I'll accompany you!” Ysabelle offered.She meant

what she said. If Soph gets expelled, I'll leave the school with her!”No need. I can handle this

myself."In the principal's office, Carrie was still complaining about Sophie.”Mr. Langston, Jipsdale

Premier High has been an elite school for decades. We can't let one student ruin our reputation. It's

unacceptable that this has happened in Jipsdale Premier High!” Carrie raged.”Sophie? Come, have a

seat,” Andy said warmly.Sophie padded over and sat on the couch across from Carrie.Andy parted

his lips to say, “I heard you scored full marks for your physics test this time, Sophie.”Sophie inclined

her head.”But Mrs. Fletcher doesn't think you're capable of doing that, so she thinks you cheated.

What is your explanation?"’l didn’t cheat,” came Sophie's answer.Carrie sneered, “You were expelled

from Horington High School but scored full marks for your physics test. Don't you think your lie is

too much of a stretch?"“Mrs. Fletcher, please mind your words,” Andy reminded.”Mr. Langston, I'm

merely stating my doubts."Right then, Sophie asked, “Mrs. Fletcher, do you have evidence to prove

that I cheated during the test?"“No. I refuse to believe that you can score full marks, though.”Mrs.

Fletcher!” Andy said, and there was a finality to his tone that warned her to stop talking.Carrie is too

rude to her students.
