Did Hera hand in a blank paper again?

Disbelief contorted Cindy’s face. Was Hera truly serious about taking this examination?

Two invigilators monitored the room–Josh Garner and Ryson Middleton from Cavenridge. They represented the prestigious schools. Neither anticipated a student turning in their paper after a mere half–hour.

Josh recognized Hera and groaned.

Blank paper or random scribbles, it was always the same old story for Hera’s exam papers. He’d heard all about the school’s hotshot cheater who bombed the midterms.

Why did Robert even let her take the test? Slackers like her just messed with everyone else and wasted paper.

However, Ryson saw Hera differently. He had spotted her at the opening ceremony and thought she was gorgeous. Now, seeing her ditch early, he wondered if she was some kind of genius who aced the test in record time!
