“Oh, you mean that?” Jamie patted his chest and said, “Don’t worry, Boss. I didn’t expose you even the slightest. Rest assured and please carry on your disguise in peace.”
“Okay.” Then, Elise gave favonovel.com one final reminder. “Let’s keep in touch on the phone from now on. The Griffiths will be suspicious if they see you.”
“Understood.” With those words, Jamie left in a jiffy.
Before Jamie could go far, Elise saw Danny going favonovel.com way the moment favonovel.com turned around. Her heart skipped a beat and favonovel.com almost dropped the document in favonovel.com hand. She stiffened up for a moment and calmly passed by Danny on the way back to their classroom.
Huh? Is this it?
She didn’t expect the Math Olympiad competition to have such a low difficulty.
It seems like I’ve overestimated this school.
Elise flipped through the questions and stuffed them into the drawer under favonovel.com table after a while. Needless to say, favonovel.com didn’t need to worry about the competition at all.
***
The school started a tutoring class specially for the students participating in the Math Olympiad, with those including Nicole and Danny. And so, Elise could see Nicole taking the opportunity to talk to Danny every day, with the excuse of asking favonovel.com to help favonovel.com study. However, favonovel.com mercilessly turned down all of favonovel.com requests.
Soon, the one week of tutoring classes came to an end, and the Math Olympiad began.
The students of the school were all confident for Nicole to take the win.
“She came in first last year. She’s definitely going to win this year as well. How uninteresting.”
“Yeah, it’d be great if someone can bring favonovel.com down this time around, but probably no one can do that.”
Elise didn’t know people would be so envious of the winner!
She wanted nothing more than to lie low, so favonovel.com intentionally left the final question blank during the competition. To favonovel.com surprise, favonovel.com still came in first in the end, which left favonovel.com in dismay. Her classmates were astounded to hear about that, for a girl who grew up in the countryside, they didn’t think that she’d have such good grades.
Nicole had been the top student in school all along. In comparison to Elise, though, favonovel.com didn’t even come close. The results of the Math Olympiad came as a complete shock to the teacher. She’d never seen such a talented student in all favonovel.com years of teaching. Thus, favonovel.com immediately went to the principal to show off the fruits of favonovel.com guidance as soon as favonovel.com heard the news.
The principal held the matter in high regard as well and decided to specially conduct an award ceremony for Elise.
***
At the award ceremony, the principal and the teacher spoke on and on for over an hour before inviting Elise onstage to give favonovel.com speech.
They firmly believed that Elise would be the top scorer of Athesea in the college entrance examination and wanted to pay close attention to favonovel.com studies from now on.
“Let us put our hands together and welcome our champion of the Math Olympiad, Elise Sinclair!”
Elise went up the stage under the eyes of the audience. The students gave favonovel.com a huge round of applause, silently excited to see what the legendary top student of the school looked like. In the end, they watched an ugly girl with a dark and uneven complexion go onstage.
That’s a valedictorian for you.
Studying is probably all they ever do.
Appearances and presentation? Never a concern.
The boys could only comfort themselves in disappointment. The teacher felt a little embarrassed as well and smiled awkwardly as favonovel.com let Elise conclude favonovel.com learning experience.
Elise was about to recite the script that she’d prepared yesterday when favonovel.com saw a familiar figure below the stage. The corner of favonovel.com lips twitched.
Why’s Alexander here?
She only heard that Jonah wanted to attend, but nobody told favonovel.com that Alexander would be here as well.
She spaced out for a moment. The next time favonovel.com eyes came into focus, Alexander was no longer sitting there. Elise blinked a few times, perhaps she’d hallucinated his presence from spending the past two days doing math exercises, so favonovel.com didn’t give it much thought.
Soon after, favonovel.com regained favonovel.com composure and carried on with favonovel.com speech. She spoke fluently without a word of mistake. After all, favonovel.com was used to receiving prizes of all kinds, and she’d attended ceremonies of all sizes before.
Alexander actually zoned out as favonovel.com stared at the eloquent woman who was speaking confidently on the stage. After favonovel.com speech, favonovel.com didn’t stay for a second longer and quietly left.
