Nina shot a glance at Janet before she spoke in a calm voice, “Janet, you have to score better this time. Otherwise, you’ll have a hard time graduating.”
Nina knew that she did not sit for the medicine exam last time.
Even though the principal did not say anything, the students from other cohorts were quite opinionated—they claimed that Janet was worried that she could not uphold her image of obtaining full marks during the college entrance exam.
Upon hearing that, she returned to her senses and replied to Nina with a hum.
Hazel, who heard their conversation from her seat, felt rather ridiculous when she saw their interaction. If her results are really that good, she didn’t need to be absent for the medicine exam last time! Now, she even dares to agree with Nina. Isn’t she worried about the results revealing her true identity?
Someone in the room noticed that Hazel wore a peculiar expression on her face since her eyes were darting around. Hence, they said in a low voice, “Hazel, you don’t have to worry about it. It’s just a quiz. Since you are a new student, it’s fine if you can’t get a good score for your first test.”
Upon hearing that, she turned with a smile. “Thanks, but I’m not nervous.” Even if I’m nervous, I would be nervous for someone else here. Haha!
After the papers were distributed, the surroundings immediately quietened.
After Hazel received the test papers, her lips curled into a smile. Even though she had not enrolled in any other university because she was studying piano, the test questions were mostly similar to those in a Grade 12 exam. Hence, she did not have any difficulty and pressure to answer them. A glint of pride flitted across her eyes. I didn’t know that the test papers in Sandfort City are so easy. No wonder Janet is able to obtain full marks during the college entrance exam.
While thinking of that, she turned and glanced at Janet, who was seated diagonally to her right in front, from the corner of her eyes.
Hazel merely saw her crossing her legs with one hand supporting her chin while the other was fiddling around with a pen.
After a while, she finally started to write the answers down on the paper.
Hazel shook her head and sneered. Then, she turned away without looking at Janet anymore. Look at this attitude of hers. She even claims that she received full marks during the college entrance exam. I don’t believe it!
Half an hour later, a cold voice suddenly shocked the students who were busy answering the test.
“Miss Hogan, I’ve finished the test. Can I hand it in and leave?” It was Janet speaking.
Nina turned to look at Janet before walking down from the podium toward her table.
After looking at the paper that was full of words, it was commendable to have fully filled in the test paper—even though it may not be correct.
However, the essay section was completely empty without a single word.
Even though it was optional for the students to answer the essays, it was their decision after all. Since Janet was absent for the last medicine exam, it induced dissatisfaction from other classmates—in that cohort and others. Hence, Nina was treating the test with importance.
Pointing at the blank essay section, she reminded in a low voice, “What about the essay?”
Janet raised her eyes to look at her. Since she was not interested in that topic, she replied indifferently, “I don’t feel like writing it.”
With that, Nina was rather exasperated.
She actually felt a great pressure that the person who scored full marks in her college entrance exam was under her guidance. If Janet flunked the exam, it would definitely be a huge incident and Mr. Goldstein would even have a different impression of her as well.
Nina covered her mouth as she patiently advised, “It’s quite easy. You can just simply write something and hand it in half an hour later. How about that?”
Janet did not reply. However, Nina saw Janet’s fingers moving, as though she was really planning to simply write something.
Nina finally heaved a sigh of relief once Janet started to write the essay.
Indeed, Janet finished it within half an hour.
Once the minute hand of the clock pointed to the right time, she immediately stopped writing and lazily raised her hand. “I’m done.”
Nina glanced at the time. How punctual! Not even a second later.
