Chapter 95
The students sat through a couple more tests in the following two days. Each time, Lily turned in her paper within 20 minutes. The teachers sighed helplessly when they saw her papers. They all thought, âThis kid is a lost cause!â
After the tests, the teachers went to work. The results were out the next Tuesday.
The first lesson on Tuesday was Johnâs math class. He entered the classroom with the macked test papers and a list of class grades.
He placed the papers on the table and picked up the list. with a smile, he announced, ât see an improvement in your scores overall. Anya Mosley has come in first. She scored 733 in math. Her total score across the subjects is 1350, which places her at the 200th place in 12th grade.â
Despite that, Anya collected her test papers with a crestfallen look, which attracted Lilyâs attention Lily asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
*At 1431, I came in 200th in the entire 12th grade. I guess I
IâEnever get into the Unversity of Bridgeport.â Anya seemed really moody. She had been pouring in efforts to get into the University of Bridgeport, but given her test scores, that goal seemed unattainable nowâ¦
âDo you want to attend the University of Bridgeport Lily questioned with curiosity.
âYeah. Thatâs one of the best universities in the country. If I graduate from there, Iâll get a better jobâ¦â Anya slumped on her desk. âToo bad Iâll never make it to that university.â
Lily watched on without a word. Meanwhile, the other students groaned when they learned about Anyaâs scores.
Someone remarked, âIf Anya is at the top of our class but ranks 200th in the 12th grade, what about the rest of us?â
âWeâre doomed. With my scores, I think Iâll be ranked Booth or lower.â
John tapped on his table to silence the students.
After the students stopped talking, John patiently comforted them, âPlease donât be too upset about your s scores. You guys did well this time, and Lily Brooks is a shining example. âShe made many mistakes, but she got this one complex question right. Sheâs one of the five students in the 12th grade to get it right.â
He added, âYou guys are smart, just practice more, and youâll find the test easy.â He then beamed at Lily, saying, âLily, can you walk us through this question that you got right? Johnâs intention was to set up Lily as a good example for her classmates as well as encourage her to be more proactive in her studies. To his dismay, she rose from her seat and drawled, âI cheated.â
The Class 18 students were rendered speechless. They had nothing but respect for Lily, one of the first openly admit to the teacher about cheating on her test.
Johnâs lips twitched from shock. He awkwardly stroked his head before saying, âUm⦠Take a seat for now. Iâll teach you how to solve the question.â
At this point, he was clueless about how best to handle Lily. He also worried for her future.
The lessons after were boring because all the teachers ever did was distribute the papers and walk the students through the questions
Loid arrived to pick tilly up from school as usual.
Shannon left her class late because of the test. Knowing that she wasnât allowed to take Loidâs car home, she did not bother to leave the school with Lily.
On that day, shaun and Daniel did not join Loid. Therefore, Lily took the front passenger seat
Loid announced, âMom invited us to lunch at Laurier Vill
Laurier Villa was the Laurier familyâs property in Lagersfield Loidâs parents would stay at the villa every time they visited Lagersfield Laid bought Anmer Heights under his name, and he rarely visited Laurier Villa unless necessary.
âOkay,â Lily replied flatly.
Since she appeared to be in a bad mood, Lold did not speak much. They sat in silence until they arrived at Laurier Villa.
Melanie hurriedly went up to hold Lilyâs hand. âGosh, you guys are finally here. Iâm making lunch today, so please eat up.â âSure.â Lilyâs mood lifted. She finally smiled at Melanie
