Monday.

The results of Havencrest Preparatory Academy's monthly exams were out.

The school's announcement board was absolutely swamped-three, four rows deep with students craning for a glimpse.

At Primus Academy, every monthly exam was its own kind of trial by fire. The results didn't just mean bragging rights-they could decide whether a student stayed or went.
