Chapter 63

At 10 am sharp, Hanley checked his score. 234 pointer

“Wow, you rock!”

“That’s a killer score! Definitely top ten in the stater

Hanley breathed a sigh of relief.

Lately, he had been burning the midnight oil to catch up with Cordelia, hitting the books every night until half–past twelve, and getting up at the crack of dawn at 5:30 am. His hard work had paid off, and the score was pretty darn good!

Yet, a tinge of regret lingered.

He had wanted to go head–to–head with Cordelia to show her he was every bit her equal. But Cordelia had lost half an hour. Even if her score was lower, his victory felt somewhat hollow.

“If only I had done like Keen and waited for her half an hour,” he thought.

With that on his mind, Hanley opened the Math Forum, where speculation about everyone’s scores was already going wild.

“OMG, Keen got first place!”

“Does that mean Cordelia isn’t number one?”

“How did this happen? I was waiting for our study queen to crush it, but it turns out even prodigies are

normal…”

“Missing half an hour and not getting first is pretty normal, I’d say.”

“Keen waited half an hour too, to be fair! But Keen’s a legend, so first place is no big surprise!”

“I wanted to see Cordelia snag that top spot.”

“I hope so.”

Merry saw the comments in the thread. Looking at Cordelia full of frustration and defiance, she asked, “Lia, people on the forum are saying that the state math committee called Lakeshore High. Keen took the top spot! How many points did you get?”
