As soon as class started, Ethan walked in with a stack of answer sheets and announced, “The grades are out Mr. Baker wants to hold a parent–teacher meeting this Friday afternoon. Make sure to let your parents know!

“A parent–teacher meeting? But we’re seniors. Is that necessary?” Zinnia was caught off guard.

She thought anxiously, ‘My lousy grades will be discovered then.

Zinnia knew exactly how poorly she had done in the exams. Without even glancing at the answer sheets that Ethan was holding, she could guess her scores.

Ethan replied, “Yeah. That’s why they’re holding the meeting. Mr. Baker needs to talk with our parents about our future plans.”

Participating in the SAT exam wasn’t the only path for students at Evershine High School to enter college. Many planned to study abroad, while others used family connections or generous donations to get into universities.

Of course, the majority of students there got into top universities through genuine academic merit, so the school held a parent–teacher meeting in the first month of the last academic year in high school.

As the answer sheets were handed out, Zinnia stared at the glaring “D” on her physics paper. She had expected it. She crumpled it up and stuffed it into her desk.

Next, she checked her chemistry grade and found it was also a “D“. She crumpled the paper hastily and stuffed it into her desk, too.

The biology grade was slightly better. She got a “C“, so did it in terms of the geography grade. Zinnia crumpled the two answer sheets up together and stuffed them into her pocket.

Social studies and history were mostly about memorization. She passed both, scoring a “C” on each. Zinnia folded the answer sheets up carelessly and slipped them between the pages of her textbook.

Zinnia glanced at her math score and found it was also a “C“. She immediately covered it with her textbook She told herself in her heart, ‘It doesn’t exist if I don’t see it.

The only remotely presentable scores were in reading and writing, and language. The subjects scored an A.

Zinnia stashed away all her answer sheets.

She peeked at the answer sheets of Lydia, who was stuffing them into her desk. By the time Zinnia turned to look, only the newly distributed one remained in Lydia’s hands. Without glancing at it, Lydia was about to slip

it in with the rest.

Zinnia glanced over and found it was Lydia’s math paper, where there was an “A” on it.

Zinnia’s eyes widened in disbelief. She quickly stopped Lydia and leaned in for a closer look. Zinnia asked, “Lydia, you got full marks? How do you make yourself so smart just like that?”
