Chapter 85
The first lesson of the day was math, taught by John Everton. Classi 18 was usually well–behaved during John’s lessons.
John returned the papers be had marked to the students. He rubbed his temples with a troubled expression at Lily’s paper before calling out her name, “Lily Brooks.”
She went to the podium to retrieve her paper. He patted her on the shoulder and offered some concerned advice. “Math isn’t that tough. You can master it if you put in the effort Do you want me to offer you some extra tuition?”
He was in the dark about Lily’s entrance exam scores. According to Joseph, Lily did pass Ember Creek’s her poor academic performance lately. In tact, she had scored zeroes for most of her papers.
entrance exam. but teachers across different subjects had been discussing
John refused to believe in their words until he marked her math paper. Lily clearly did not know how to solve even one of the math questions.
He checked in with the teaching assistants, who informed him that Lily indeed had no idea how to solve the exam problems.
He felt a headache creeping in. Was she absolutely clueless in all subjects? What would they do with her?
“Thank you, Mr. Everton, but there’s no need for extra tuition.” Ly flashed an innocent smile at John, which momentarily caught him off guard.
In the one month since her transfer, he had never seen her smile. Her sudden change in behavior spooked him out. Was she trying to cover up for some grave mistakes she had committed?
He finally collected himself and started the lesson after Lily returned to her seat. Most of the students had a good understanding of the math concepts thanks to his detailed explanation. His patience bore fruits as Class 18 emerged as the top performer in math
When Anya saw Lily shoving the math paper into the drawer, she turned around and addressed Lily sternly, “Lily Brooks, study hard, or you’ll be looked down on!”
Lily felt entertained by her words. She flicked Anya on the forehead and remarked, “Yeah You’d better study hard.”
Anya angrily pressed against her head after Lily flicked her. “I was talking about you!”
“yeah. Study hard,” Lily drawled before going back to reading her ancient medical book
Anya’s cheeks bulged in anger, but she was powerless in the face of Lily’s antics.
After the first lesson ended, tan stood up and tapped on his table. “Hey, guys, please stop what you’re doing for a minute. I have something to say.
Everyone fell silent when he spoke because he was held in high regard by his classmates. He pointed at Lily. “Lily is a loyal friend to us, am I right?”
“Yeah!” the classmates replied in unison, their loud replies echoing in the classroom
“She made a bet with another student. Do you think she won the bet now that we all have tickets to Lucas Garcia’s concert?” tan placed a foot on the table in a roguish move. “Teah!”
Nodding in satisfaction, he asked, “If so, shall we make that other student fulfill her end of the bet?”
“Of course! We’ll do it right now!”
Jan hopped off the chair and went up to Lily. “Lily, do you want to join us?”
Lily finally looked up from the medical book she replied with a devilish grin, “Sure.” She never liked gossip, but Shelby had to pay the price for agreeing to the bet The Class 18 students marched to the entrance of Class 1 to hunt down Shelby
