Reflect On Your Actions
The moment those words left his mouth, the other classmates chimed in.
“That’s right. Why won’t she think about what’s wrong with her instead?”
“Hear, hear. Whether or not Arielle helps you with your question is Arielle’s choice. Wendy, you’re just
forcing it onto her.”
“If I were Arielle, I’d have poured acid on her face after what Wendy had done.”
The students did not care that Wendy was still in the same room at all.
Thus, when Wendy heard their comments, she trembled in rage. However, there was nothing she could
do to Arielle.
She could only swear to herself that she had to be at the top of the class.
So what if Arielle’s back? She missed out on a test, and that means she’ll have to score a hundred and
thirty for all the other tests to compensate for the Chanaean paper. I’m sure she won’t have a higher
grade than me this time.
Right then, Donovan entered with the test papers.
There was someone else who came into the classroom with him—Marcus Brown.
The moment Donovan entered, he spotted Arielle, and his footsteps faltered. If not for Marcus behind
him, he would have told Arielle to get out of the class.
Why should I keep her here? She’s been absent a week, and she was absent for her first test too.
It took Donovan several deep breaths before he managed to ignore Arielle and continued his way to the
front of the classroom. “Students, this test is particularly important to you in another way as well.
However, to make sure that it won’t affect your moods, I’ve decided to tell you about it after you’re all
done with the test.”
After a pause, Donovan continued, “Mr. Brown is paying much attention to our preparatory class’ test this
time too, so he has come to be an invigilator. I hope that you’ll be focusing on your papers to not
squander the trust Mr. Brown has in our class. All right, the test begins now, so please return your seats
and turn the tables to the side.”
After some shuffling noises, silence enveloped the classroom.
“This paper will be on advanced mathematics. We will be having University Ustranasion tomorrow
morning. For tomorrow afternoon, it’ll be a paper on physics and chemistry.”
As Donovan informed them about the schedule, he and Marcus handed out the papers.
When Donovan reached Arielle’s table, he quietly warned, “If you’re not interested in studying, either lie
on the table and sleep, so you won’t disturb the others, or leave before the test starts.”
Arielle fixed her gaze on Donovan as her lips parted, but in the end, she said nothing as she took the
paper and wrote her name on it.
It’s pointless wasting my breath on him. I might as well just do the test.
Soon, the papers were all distributed. After Donovan announced the start of the test, all the students
hurriedly began filling their papers with answers.
More or less, they were anxious with Marcus around.
Trisha thought she would be nervous as well. To her surprise, she was not.
After taking in a deep breath, she hunched over and began reading the questions.
On the second row, Wendy had lifted her pen and began writing down her answer.
She never expected the first question to be extremely difficult.
By the time she was done with it, ten minutes had passed, much to her shock.
Ten minutes? It was only the first question!
Sweat began beading on Wendy’s forehead. She forced herself to focus as she went on to the next
question.
Nevertheless, the second question was even tougher than the first, and Wendy could only blink dumbly
in bewilderment.
Unable to help it, she glanced at her sides. When she saw the others scratching their heads in confusion,
the heart in her throat lowered.
If it was difficult for her, it was difficult for others, which also meant it was even more difficult for Arielle.
Arielle hasn’t been coming to school. I’m sure she can’t even answer the first question, huh?
Lips curling, Wendy recomposed herself and continued doing her paper.
Meanwhile, in the last row, Arielle had finished the ten multiple-choice questions in ten minutes.
It was indeed rather tough. Otherwise, she would have already been working on the next section.
Right then…
