Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 40 Full Marks For Physics

Tanner, full marks.”“What?”“Mrs. Fletcher, have you gotten it wrong?”It was practically impossible for a student to score full marks for the physics test this month. Even Bailey from Senior Class 1 couldn’t achieve this feat.“Really?” Ysabelle blurted excitedly.Indeed, Soph can do anything easily!“Sophie, stand up,” Carrie ordered.“Mrs. Fletcher, you wanted me to pass the test, and I scored full marks. Isn’t that enough?” Sophie no longer wanted to show any respect for Carrie.“Mrs. Fletcher, she must’ve stolen the test paper prior to this. No one could possibly score full marks!” Lenora uttered.Ysabelle retorted, “Shut the f*ck up, Lenora!” She would forever be supportive of Sophie.“Be honest with me. How did you get the test before this?” Carrie was of the opinion that Sophie had cheated too.Hearing that, Sophie snorted icily.“Is it that hard to acknowledge someone else’s ability?”“Sophie, I’m being calm right now. If you refuse to say anything, I’ll have to bring the matter to the principal,” Carrie warned.“Whatever.”Sophie wasn’t about to entertain Carrie when the latter was being unreasonable.Carrie declared, “All right. Just you wait. Jipsdale Premier High can tolerate students with bad results, but we’ll definitely expel those who cheat!”Jipsdale Premier High had this policy all along, so Sophie wouldn’t be the exception.Furious, Carrie marched out of the classroom and slammed the door shut in her wake.The students of Senior Class 8 fell silent for a few moments before bursting into an uproar.“D*mn it. Mrs. Fletcher has always been mean to us. If we score badly in our physics test, she has to bear some sort of responsibility too, right?”“That’s right! She often answers calls and plays games on her phone during class. Does she have a powerful background? Otherwise, why would she get to teach here?”The students of Senior Class 8 had been unsatisfied with Carrie for a long time. She had gone too far with her actions today.“All right. Everyone, calm down,” Bobby announced. He went to Sophie and asked, “Sophie, you didn’t cheat, right?”“Bobby!” Ysabelle huffed.“No,” Sophie responded nonchalantly.Lenora snorted.“Sophie, even if you were to cheat, you shouldn’t copy everything and get full marks. Be smart. Do you think anyone will believe you’re capable of getting full marks?”“Sophie, if you did cheat, be honest. We can talk to the principal together. Mrs. Fletcher was rude, so I believe the principal won’t blame you after he learns about her attitude.”“I said, I didn’t cheat!” Sophie’s patience was at its limit.Right then, the principal’s assistant showed up.“Sophie Tanner, the principal wants to see you at his office.”Sophie got to her feet and zipped her uniform up.“Soph, I’ll accompany you!” Ysabelle offered.She meant what she said. If
