Sharon pinched his cheek, saying. “Next time you see her, show your respect. Don’t just listen to everything that Esther says”

Troy and Esther might be oblivious or just deluding themselves, but Sharon couldn’t afford to be that naive.

The news that Class 24 passed their biology exams sent ripples through Greenvine High School. Suddenly, the biology competition was back in the spotlight.
There were rumors that a prominent figure in the biomedical field, Joshua, would choose a successor from the students participating in the competition.
“This monthly exam just proves that students have talent. If they put in the effort, they can succeed. Everyone should seize the moment.” Jonas was on stage, again serving up his motivational talk.
He even specifically told Bonnie, “If you have any questions later, feel free to ask me
Bonnie was competing in the biology contest. Class 21 was no longer the “failure” it had once been, and Jonas was more confident than ever. Bonnie smiled shyly in response.
