Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 41 Proving Her Wrong

any of them! How dare she listen to music here? I’ve never seen anyone as arrogant as her!” Carrie complained.“Mrs. Fletcher, you should hurry. There is only one hour left, but you have yet to complete many questions,” Derrick chimed in.He couldn’t bring himself to stay quiet anymore.Since Sophie came to this school, Carrie had been making life difficult for her.Derrick had talked to Carrie a few times privately, but she still refused to change her attitude.Carrie shot Derrick a glare before returning to her questions.The further she got, the more difficult the questions became. Carrie’s expression turned dark.She couldn’t solve two subjective questions. Her initial plan was to perform well. Alas, her plan had gone down the drain.However, this was a physics competition paper. The reassuring thought made her relax immediately.The questions were too difficult to begin with, so it had nothing to do with her ability.Andy invited the physics teacher of Senior Class 1 and also the Head of Physics, Aaron, to mark their papers.Aaron marked Carrie’s paper first.He quickly finished marking the multiple choice questions. She got them all correct.Carrie heaved a sigh of relief at the results.Aaron made the calculations as he marked the subjective questions.In the end, Carrie scored seventy-eight marks.“Mrs. Fletcher, you’re quite weak in physics,” Aaron commented. As the Head of Physics, he kept reminding the other physics teachers to solve physics questions during their free time. However, Carrie kept brushing him off.Carrie turned grouchy after getting reprimanded in public.Derrick handed Sophie’s paper to Aaron.Sophie got all the multiple choice questions and the fill-in-the-blank questions correct.She also got all the subjective questions correct.Thus, she scored full marks on the quiz paper.Aaron could barely hide his shock, for he couldn’t even score full marks if he were to do the quiz himself.“How did she do?” Andy queried.“Mr. Langston, she scored full marks!” Aaron reported happily.Did our school hit the jackpot? Is she a genius?“What? Mr. Elswick, did you make a mistake?” Carrie refused to believe it.Sophie completed the questions an hour ago, so it seemed impossible for her to score full marks.“Mr. Langston, please allow me to tutor Sophie. I’ll register her name for the physics competition this year!” Aaron implored excitedly. He had always been an ambitious teacher but had never come across any smart students in his teaching career until now.“Mm. We’ll talk about that later.”Andy was surprised, too. He only took Sophie in as a favor to the Northley family, so he had no idea he would hit the jackpot.“Sophie, you can leave now. We know that you didn’t cheat.” Andy’s voice grew increasingly gentle.“I’ll be off now.”After Sophie left, Andy returned to his seat.“Mrs. Fletcher, I’m afraid you can’t be a physics teacher in our school with your ability,” he said.Carrie only scored seventy-eight marks, so it was pretty obvious she wasn’t capable of teaching the students.“Mr. Langston, I…”Carrie had no idea she would shoot herself in the feet today.“You’ll be in charge of managing the dorms from today onward. For now, work hard on your physics. You’ll take the final examination with the students. If your level is still the same, then you’ll keep managing the dorms. I can’t allow an unqualified teacher to teach the students.
