Chapter 52: I Have Two Doctoral Degrees, But Can You Believe That?

After Tina finished giving her instructions, she left the classroom.

When she arrived at room 22D, she had asked Mr. Stiller to print out all the exam papers from Grade 9 to Grade 11, as she needed to collect them.

Just as she stepped out of the classroom, Velma chased after her, "Tina, wait up!"

Tina stopped in her tracks, turning to look at her and said seriously, "Call me Miss Reed."

Velma's mouth twitched, but she dutifully said, "Miss Reed."

Tina nodded and patted her head, "Good girl!"

Velma, "..."

Why do I feel like you're petting a dog?

Ugh!

I am not a dog!

Velma followed beside her, excitement clear on her face, "Miss Reed, how come you came to teach at the school? You're only nineteen and barely attended school yourself. How did Mr. Stiller come to find you?" Velma's curiosity was ablaze, "Come on, tell me, what's the situation? I'm simply too shocked, Tina... Ahem, Miss Reed, you're really amazing. You don't know, but the whole school, no one dares to mess with 22D, yet you managed to train them so well, I'm really impressed!"

She leaned in close to Tina, grinning, "Did you get in through the back door? Was it the Reed family? Tsk tsk, did they really open the back door for you? But now I really want to know Amber's expression. That little wretch, always acting so high and mighty, sarcastically belittling you at the last banquet. If she sees you've come to Ensford High School and even became a teacher, oh my! Her little face, just thinking about it is delightful." Tina, "..."

When had she not realized that this child was so gossipy?
