Ella Lacey desperately wanted to play along with her and stupidly ask her, "Why, class leader?"
But as soon as she thought about her test scores, about studying, which now seemed irrelevant to her, she lost interest and stuttered, "Is the teacher protecting me?"
"See there, I told you I didn't make a mistake, Ella, you are still smart."
Tiffany Gasper was very satisfied and nodded frequently, "I'm worried that if your grades are made public, your classmates will laugh at you. You need to know that there's a world of difference between this performance and your last. Even the teachers in the teaching and research office started suspecting you. But rest assured, as your invigilating teacher, I believe it was just a blip."
Tiffany Gasper was all excited talking, while Ella Lacey's mind wandered.
However, her quiet silence made Tiffany Gasper think she was reflecting on herself.
