"Welcome back. How's school today?" Katherine asked as she and Meiya helped take off their backpack.
"Pretty good. We just finished our midterm exam today." Sophia replied as they all headed towards the dining table.
"Oh really? How well did you guys do on your exam?" Katherine curiously asked.
As the six of them sat down, Mary and Sophia looked jealously at Alex, which made the other two look at him as well.
"Um, we did pretty well," Alex nervously replied, wiping away an invisible sweat on his forehead.
"Really? How well, exactly?"
Seeing Alex not replying and both Sophia and Mary staying silent, Katherine turned her attention to Luqing.
"What did they get?"
"Sophia got top 5, Mary got 11th place, and Alex got 1st place," Luqing replied without any hesitation.
"Wait, what? Alex, you got first place?" Katherine exclaimed, her voice sounding a little surprised as she looked back at Alex.
