“Zinnia, let’s go,” said Maisie.

* 55 vouchers.

After Zinnia had lunch with Maisie and some other classmates, they had fun outside for a while in the afternoon before heading home.

When Zinnia got back, Yannis was cooking in the kitchen.

Watching the busy figure in the kitchen, Zinnia felt a twinge of guilt. She wondered what William had told Yannis.

The moment the grades were released, Zinnia was called into William’s office.

Back then, William seriously asked her if she had any issues with teachers and suggested talking it through. Zinnia couldn’t help but feel embarrassed when she recalled this.

She certainly wanted to do well, but her brain wouldn’t cooperate. She just couldn’t learn certain subjects well.

William wouldn’t have asked that question if Zinnia had performed averagely across all subjects, but she was outstanding at language, as well as reading and writing.

Her physics and chemistry teachers had even consulted the teachers of the above subjects, hoping to learn some tips on effective teaching.

Her history, social studies, and biology teachers worked overtime to compile study guides for Zinnia. With enough effort, they could improve Zinnia’s grades in these subjects.

William also analyzed Zinnia’s test paper. Even with Lydia helping her predict some of the questions, she only managed to get two of them right.

Out of all the multiple–choice and fill–in–the–blank questions, she only got four right. William couldn’t help but wonder if there was something wrong with the way he was teaching.

Yannis saw Zinnia’s reflection in the glass door and turned to face her. “You’re back. Dinner’s ready.”

“Yannis, what did Mr. Baker say?” Zinnia began to study his expression.

Yannis replied, “Nothing much. He just told me to pay more attention to your studies and asked about your future plans.”

Zinnia was carefully studying his expression, which Yannis found amusing.

He said, “Get ready for dinner.”

Zinnia sat down, and Yannis took his place right beside her.
