After a long while, they finally got rid of the crowd and got near the bulletin board.
However, Trisha got intimidated as she covered her eyes. “Sannie, I don‘t dare to look at it. Please
take a look for me.”
“Okay.” Arielle nodded while approaching the board.
At first glance, she saw Trisha‘s name at sixth place.
Her gaze darkened slightly as her smile disappeared.
Still, she lost by just a little. But sixth place seems like the perfect spot.
Arielle started making plans secretly in her mind.
Just when she was about to turn and tell Trisha about it,
Trisha had gotten to her side.
After seeing her ranking, her eyes started brimming with tears.
472 points. It was just three points less than fifth place.
It meant it was just the gap
of one question, but it took away her chance for the early admissions exam with Maxwell University.
She had always been in sixth place during the tests in the
class. She thought with Arielle‘s help this time. She would manage to achieve fifth place. However, the r
eality turned out to be cruel.
At that moment, Trisha was filled with utter disappointment.
It was the worst feeling to have come this far but to fail just by an inch.
Staring at Trisha‘s expression, Arielle opened her mouth. “Trisha, actually, you still can…”
“Forget it.” Trisha shook her head and forced a smile. “You don‘t have to comfort
me. Maybe it is my destiny to get the sixth place.”
“It‘s not like that. Trisha, I want to tell you that the slots for early admission…”
“Sannie,” Trisha interrupted her again. “You don‘t need to comfort me. Even if I get the slot, I won‘t be a
ble to pass the exam to enter Maxwell University at my level. I feel more relieved if this slot belongs to
another person. If not, it might be wasted. So please stop mentioning it.”
“But…”
“All right. Let‘s go to the flea market!” Trisha took a deep breath and displayed an
unnatural smile. “I want to try out the ravioli you make, okay?”
Seeing Trisha did not want to think about the exam, Arielle swallowed her words and
nodded. “Okay, let‘s go to the field. My friend should have sent the stuff by now. Let me call and ask.”
“Okay.” Trisha nodded firmly. “My dad should be at the entrance now. Let me find
him. See you later at the field.”
“See you.”
Arielle waved her hand while taking out her phone and called Sasha.
“Hello, Sasha. Are you at the school?”
“I am waiting at the field already, Ms. Moore.”
“Okay, I‘m on my way now.”
She marched toward the field as she spoke.
Trisha left and found a hidden corner on the other side, bawling her eyes out.
Everything she said to Arielle just now was pure lie.
Only God knew how eager she wanted to go to Maxwell University.
Even if she could not pass the exam, it would be great to visit that place once.
Maxwell University was not open to the public. Thus, ordinary people would never have the chance to
go on a tour in the premises.
Yet, she missed such a golden opportunity.
She did not blame anybody but herself.
Meanwhile, at the field, the flea market was in full swing.
Just as Cecilia predicted, her bakery attracted tremendous attention from the students.
On the contrary, Arielle‘s stall, which had not been set up, seemed relatively empty.
