Are you sure you’re not insulting those three writers? Emily was very curious. Just what kind of person is the author Janet writing about like?
When the invigilators on the stage heard the distinct whispering among the students, they sternly announced, “Stop looking around. We will confiscate your exam papers after two warnings!”
Thus, the students fell silent again.
After that, one of the invigilators walked over to Emily, rapped on her table, and warned her, “What are you looking at? If you continue looking around, I will disqualify you from taking the exam.”
Hence, everybody’s gaze suddenly focused on Emily, and she turned her head away in embarrassment, wishing for a hole to open up and swallow her whole…
Time slowly ticked by… When Janet finished answering the last multiple-choice question, she looked up at the clock—it was exactly 9:50 AM. An entire hour had passed; it was neither long nor short. Thus, she checked her name again before lazily standing up. Her voice was calm and nonchalant. “Excuse me, can I hand in my paper now?”
Upon hearing those words, the two invigilators onstage glanced at each other. Is she done in just an hour? How is she so fast? Then, they exchanged glances again before walking off the stage. At the same time, all the students in the hall were shocked. How did she finish so quickly? We have yet to even start writing our essay… What’s with that writing speed? Could it be that she didn’t answer the essay question?
The two invigilators shared the same doubts as they walked toward Janet. Glancing through her exam paper, they found that her answer sheet was completely filled, and her essay just crossed the one-thousand-words mark… Even if she scribbled nonsense in her essay, she can’t be that fast, right? This exceeds our expectations!
“I’m afraid you can’t leave the hall yet. You need to wait until the exam ends before you can leave!” one of the invigilators said expressionlessly.
During the college entrance exams, one could only leave the exam hall twenty minutes before the exam ended. Otherwise, the students might use the extra time to cheat.
“Okay; thank you!” Janet said. In the next moment, she planted her face flat against her desk and went to sleep.
Meanwhile, Emily turned her head to sneak a glance at Janet. Then, a mocking smile surfaced from the depths of her eyes. Is Janet not checking through her answers again? Haha! Well, it would be a waste of time to check her answers if she had randomly filled it out with nonsense anyway! At least she’s self-aware.
At the same time, the invigilators on the stage glanced at Janet and shook their heads. For a moment, they couldn’t find a suitable word to describe her. Is it confidence or arrogance? How can she be so half-hearted during her college entrance exams? How can she do that to her parents? Moreover, when they went down to check her exam papers, they discovered that her draft papers were blank. Sigh. If she doesn’t even use her draft papers, how can she score a good result?
……..
At 11 AM, the first exam ended. Thus, the students left the exam hall in droves. Some of them had their heads lowered and did not speak—they looked very depressed. Conversely, some were smiling happily—it looked like they didn’t do too badly in their exams.
“I can’t believe the topic of the exam was related to my idol, Lady Rose!”
“Hahaha! I managed to get myself a copy of her newest book recently. So, it was natural for me to write the essay about her.”
“Janet!” Abby called out to Janet.
Thus, Janet glanced back and smiled faintly. “How was it? Did you do well?”
In response, Abby nodded. “I think it wasn’t too hard. Besides, the essay was about my favorite author!”
Upon hearing those words, Janet seemed slightly stunned for several seconds.
“Janet, did you not write your essay?” Abby asked worriedly.
“I did!” Janet’s pink lips curled into a smile. “It was quite easy!”
At that moment, a group of students from Class F was standing outside the door. They had warm smiles on their faces. “Janet.”
Thus, Janet turned to look in their direction. She had a lazy expression and a faint smile on her face.
“Janet, thank goodness you gave us Lady Rose’s books! I can’t believe that the essay topic this time around was about her!”
