To his utter horror, the photo with Janet in it had disappeared! What in the world happened to his phone?
…
On the blackboard in every classroom at Star High School was a countdown to the day of the college entrance exam which was updated everyday. It was obvious that most students were taking the examination very seriously. However, contrary to the rest, the students of Class F continued to spend their days leisurely. They seemed not in the least bit interested to make an effort for the exam.
Because of that, Class F’s class teacher Miss Daisy was frequently criticized during the school meeting. Daisy had been feeling gloomy because there was nothing she could do when those bunch of rascals were unwilling to learn.
In Class F, the girls were busy talking about idols, korean dramas and which café they were going to visit after school. As for the boys, they were exchanging ideas on their equipment in computer games as well as the campus belle from other schools. It wasn’t long before Daisy walked into the classroom with a dejected expression. Staring at her students with resignation, she let out a heavy sigh. “You guys…” However, she decided to swallow her words in the end.
The students first looked up at their class teacher before returning to their own tasks at hand, seeing that she had nothing to say.
After school, Emily and Madelaine visited Class F holding a stack of mock test papers. Janet first looked up at her before glueing her eyes back to the screen of her phone without uttering a word.
Emily hurled the heavy stack of papers onto the podium and announced haughtily, “The principal wanted me to send this stack of mock test papers to you guys!” A trace of disdain flickered in her eyes and she muttered under her breath, “What a bunch of crap that lowers the average enrolment rate of our school!” She thought no one would be able to hear that but little did she know, her remark was caught by the students sitting in the front row.
“Emily Jackson, what do you mean by that?” One of the girls glared at Emily indignantly.
Madelaine snorted and sneered, “She meant it literally! You guys are indeed a bunch of scum!”
Everyone of Class F felt humiliated by their remarks and thought that Madelaine had pushed things a little too far. “Are the two of you any better than us?” Several of them pointed at Emily and Madelaine as they rebuked, “Yes, we don’t score well in exams but we never steal, unlike a certain someone here!”
With that, a babble of voices broke out in the classroom. Everyone turned to eye Emily dubiously because the comment was obviously referring to the fact that she had once stolen Janet’s paintings. Apprehension flickered on Emily’s face. Staring at the students of Class F in disgust, she then dragged Madelaine out of the classroom. “Let’s go!”
After Emily left, Janet took four copies of the mock test papers from the podium, taking them back to The Beasts.
