“Elizabeth, are you okay? You’ve just transferred here, so you can skip this test if you’d like.”
Because Elizabeth was a transfer student, Frank Berwick paid her special attention.
Even though she had transferred, due to a lack of information, he didn’t know much about her.
Elizabeth shook her head and responded, “I’m fine.”
What she was really thinking was, why are the exam papers still so easy in the third year of high school?
She decided she should talk to Peter about it. The school shouldn’t underestimate students’ intelligence with such simple questions.
“Tsk.”
Lily muttered under her breath, “Show-off. At least I won’t be the last this time.”
Elizabeth looked up to find Lily grinning smugly at her.
The malicious intent was palpable.
Elizabeth just looked away, unbothered.
Linda, feeling guilty, said, “It’s my fault. I forgot about the quiz at the beginning of the term and didn’t highlight the key points for Elizabeth.”
Lily advised her, “You always think of her. Don’t worry too much about her. I bet you topped this test again.”
Linda humbly smiled without saying much.
Ben glanced at Elizabeth, noticing that she had almost no drafts and had quickly filled in the answers, almost as if she was copying them.
Remembering Linda mentioning that Elizabeth had never been to school before, he rolled his eyes
He assumed she was just guessing her answers.
He disliked those who acted all high and mighty but couldn’t back it up. After finishing her paper, Elizabeth got lost in thought, unsure of what to think next.
Renee Thompson, struggling with a question, noticed Elizabeth daydreaming.
The morning light reflected on Elizabeth’s fair face.
She couldn’t help but think that despite her fierce demeanor, she was truly beautiful.
But she wished Elizabeth took her studies more seriously; messing up like this would drag down the class average.
Frank saw Elizabeth daydreaming. He remembered some comments on the school forum about her. Pretending to be casual, he walked behind her and sneaked a peek at her paper.
To his surprise, she had answered all the questions.
After a while, he was dumbfounded.
This wasn’t what he expected.
After class, Emily approached Elizabeth with a distressed look. “Ugh, it was so hard! Whoever set these questions must be insane.”
“Was it that difficult?”
Elizabeth looked at a frowning Emily with her clear eyes, unable to understand her difficulty.
Emily was puzzled, “Isn’t it? I couldn’t do half of the questions…”
Though her grades ranked within the top 100 in the school, there was still a lot she didn’t understand.
“Many said it was tough.”
After hearing this, Elizabeth looked at her incredulously as if she had made a joke.
Emily began to doubt herself, wondering if maybe the test wasn’t that hard and perhaps her capabilities had diminished.
Elizabeth sighed after a pause, “These students aren’t that impressive.” Emily was taken aback.
How could someone with seemingly low academic achievement say that? Choking back her surprise, Emily asked, “What about you? Did you finish?” “Yes,” Elizabeth nodded.
“You didn’t just guess your answers, right? Even though it’s just a quiz, there will be rankings, and they’ll be publicized throughout the school.”
Emily was concerned that Elizabeth, out of pride, had filled in all the answers, only to get them all wrong and face public humiliation.
Elizabeth reassured her. “I’ve got this.
Emily remained skeptical.
“Hey, class is about to start. Could you please return to your own classroom?” Seeing how close Emily and Elizabeth were, Lily scoffed.
Emily shot Lily a glare, waved goodbye to Elizabeth, and said, “Wait for me after school. Let’s go home together.”
