Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

Chapter 16

On Wednesday morning, Mr Keaton walked into Class Z with a lack of report cards, his expression less than pleased.

This was a fomillar sight for the students of Class Z. Every time after exams, Mr. Keston would look as if he’d lost a dear family member

“This time, everyone has performed quite well on the test. Jennifer and Holly have shown the most improvement. Then there are some of you who didn’t even pass the basic requirements. I really don’t know what you’ve been up to. Please, make more of an effort “Now, let me announce the rankings. First place, Jennifer, with 570 points. Second place, Holly, with 556 points. Third place…. “And the last place goes to Dane.”

Everyone had a general idea of their own scores and rankings, so there was no surprise there. However, they were curious about Flora’s score, which Mr. Keaton hadn’t mentioned.

“Mr. Keaton, why didn’t you read out Flora’s score?”

“Yeah! Haha, is it because Flora scored so low that you’re embarrassed to say 11?”

Mr. Keaton’s gaze swept over to where Flora sat quietly in the back row, his expression complex. “Flora, come with me, please”

Flora stood up and obediently followed Mr. Keaton out of the classroom. The students were even more curious about what Flora was needed for.
