If it were not for the fact that she was now wide-awake, she would think that she must be hearing things.
Still, she was secretly delighted because if Janet was really Rose, the plagiarism incident would be non-existent. “Alright then; I will register your result when I return to the office.”
Janet hummed lightly in agreement before turning and heading toward the classroom.
“Janet, what happened?”
Janet sat lazily on the stool and calmly replied, “Nothing.”
“This—” Just as Abby, who was wearing a baffled expression, intended to question further, Nina was seen entering the classroom.
When she went onto the stage, her expression was no longer stern but looked more relaxed and happier. “The highest score for the test this round is 300 points.”
As soon as she said that, the class instantly burst into an uproar. “What? 300 points? Isn’t that a perfect score?”
“But Janet only obtained 200 marks!”
“Who said that the person is Janet? Couldn’t it be someone else?”
“But who else is able to get a perfect score except Janet?”
Everyone’s gaze landed on Hazel and they exclaimed in shock, “Hazel, could it be you?”
Hazel glanced at her own result and shook her head. “I got 287 marks.”
Although it was not a full mark, she was satisfied with her score since it was at least better than Janet’s.
Nina rapped her desk and coughed. “Calm down. The student who scored full marks is…” Her gaze landed on Janet as she spoke. “The student who scored full marks is still Miss Jackson.”
Everyone had a look of disbelief on their faces upon hearing that.
“Janet got 200 marks, no?”
“Yeah; she got zero for her Spanish, right? How could she possibly score full marks?”
“Miss Hogan, did you mistake her as someone else?”
She initially had 200 marks, but why did Miss Hogan announce that she attained a perfect score after they returned from outside? Did Miss Hogan make such an announcement in an attempt to save Janet’s face? Or perhaps Miss Hogan has made a mistake? A trace of astonishment flashed across Hazel’s eyes as she looked at Nina incredulously.
Then, she heard Nina continue to explain, “After talking to Miss Jackson, it has been ascertained that it was a mistake on my side—she indeed has attained a perfect score.”
“What…” Everyone looked at one another; they were so surprised that they were momentarily at a loss for words.
Unable to believe her ears, Hazel raised her hand. “Miss Hogan, if Miss Jackson obtained full marks, does that mean that she scored full marks for her Spanish essay paper as well?”
Nina adjusted her spectacles and a trace of admiration flashed across her eyes as her gaze landed on Janet. “Correct.”
Hearing that, Hazel chuckled. “What kind of essay can score full marks?”
In my opinion, there must be something fishy going on—getting full marks for one time could be a mere coincidence, but getting it for the second time makes it seem suspicious!
Nina adjusted her spectacles again. Instead of giving her a direct answer, she said, “When the exam papers are distributed, you will understand once you refer to her paper.”
Her reply instantly rendered Hazel speechless. If I pester any further, the lecturer and other students will think that I am jealous of Janet or that I am targeting her. I shouldn’t do things that would affect my image, so it would be better for me to ask Miss Hogan about it after class.
“Alright. This test has allowed me to understand your true level, so we won’t be having such tests again in the future.” After Nina said that, she turned and left with a grin.
Looking at her back, Abby secretly asked, “Janet, what did you write for your essay? You got full marks!”
Sharon was astounded as well. Janet had scored full marks in her essay paper twice, which could probably explain why she did not find Rose admirable.
