Josephine started to panic a little. “A… A retest?”

Corinne nodded. “Yeah. We should do a retest since this one ended up in a draw. I’m sure everyone was hoping there will be a clear winner in today’s competition. Don’t you think so?”

Josephine’s gaze started to dart around. “Umm… I…”

At that moment, Josephine’s mother ran up to the stage. “Don’t be a sore loser, Corinne!”

Corinne smiled. “But I didn’t lose. We both got perfect scores.”

Corinne smiled. “I didn’t say we need the teacher to come up with another set of questions. We can just use the ones who did before.”

Josephine’s mother was caught off guard by her answer. She had no idea where Corinne was going with this. “Then what’s the point of doing the retest? The two of you will just get perfect scores again. Or do you want to compete to see who hands in the test paper the fastest?”
