Noah stared at the notice board, his mind a mess of confusion and disbelief. His name was listed in A-class. Not B, not C—A-class.
"...Is this real?" he whispered to himself, his eyes scanning the list again to make sure he wasn't imagining things. But no matter how many times he looked, there it was:
[A-class]
1.Noah Ashbourne
He took a step back, still trying to process what this meant. He had been in a coma for months, missing half of the semester.
How could he have ranked this high? While he knew he hadn't done terribly in the exams, making it to A-class was beyond anything he had expected.
As he stood there, stunned, students around him began to take notice. One by one, they saw his name on the list and started crowding around, pointing and murmuring.
"Hey, isn't that Noah Ashbourne?"
"Wait, he made it into A-class? How? Didn't he miss like half the semester?"
