Anything For Her

“Mr. Langston, I can no longer teach her,” Carrie insisted.

Right then, Derrick showed up at the office, panting heavily. He had run all the way to the principal’s office after learning about the matter.

“Mr. Langston, this must be a misunderstanding!” He huffed and panted.

“Mr. Hayes, I’m glad you’re here. I can no longer teach your class. Never mind if they ranked last in their batch; now someone even cheated in the test! Find someone else to take over my position!” Carrie announced.

“Mrs. Fletcher, we don’t know what happened yet. How could you accuse my student of cheating?” Derrick argued.

“I don’t think even I can score full marks for the test this time. How could she score full marks? Are you kidding me?” Carrie retorted.

Derrick responded, “You’re not capable enough, that’s why. I can’t believe you have the face to say that out loud.”

“Hey!” Carrie fumed.

“Why don’t we do this? I have a set of physics competition questions with me. Sophie, please solve them.” Andy pulled out a set of physics quiz questions that were sealed. “Mrs. Fletcher, you should solve them, too.”

“Mr. Langston, you want me to solve it together with her?” Carrie might not be as capable as Aaron from Senior Class 1, but she found it humiliating to be asked to solve the questions with her student.

“Just do it. You think you’re capable of teaching the honors classes, right? It’s time for you to show me your ability. If you’re capable enough, I’ll allow you to teach the honors classes,” Andy told her.

Andy unsealed the file and gave them both the papers.

“Sophie, if you can score fifty marks this time, I’ll admit that you didn’t cheat. I’ll also apologize to you,” Carrie said after taking a look at the papers.

The questions were difficult, so she was pretty sure Sophie couldn’t solve them.

“Mrs. Fletcher, stop talking. Go solve the questions there.”

Sophie took the papers and returned to her spot on the couch. She grabbed a pencil and started scribbling the answers down without even using a draft paper.

Carrie, on the other hand, started using the draft paper for the first multiple choice question.

I need to perform well this time. They think I can’t teach the honors classes, right? This is the time to prove myself.

After completing the multiple choice questions, Sophie moved on to the subjective questions. She was good at mental arithmetic, so she could write out the steps on paper and calculate the answer mentally without needing any draft papers.

They were given two hours to complete the physics quiz, but Sophie completed everything in one hour.

She placed her pencil on the table and put on her earphones casually.
