Chapter 275
She could be the top scorer of the Nation! And not just in one subject, but every single one! Westbrook High School was about to become the talk of the town, all thanks to Flore…
The Irving household was in chaos. The phone wouldn’t stop ringing.
“Hello? Is this Flora’s residence? I’m calling from the University of Maple Grove’s admissions office! Flora, would you be interested in joining us at the University of Maple Grove? You can pick any major you want, and we’ll throw in a $50,000 grant every year! If you have any other demands, we can discuss them too. Mr. Garcia is already on his way to see you! He’ll be there soon! And hey, if anyone from Oakville College calls, don’t believe a word they say–it’s a scam. Block them right away!”
“Flora, this is Oakville College’s admissions office! Don’t you feel like you’d be perfect for Oakville College? You can choose any popular major, and if we don’t have what you want, we’ll create it just for you! Make sure not to meet with anyone or sign anything before our dean arrives! Especially those from the University of Maple Grove–if you see them, chase them off with a broom, okay?”
“Hi Flora, we’re joumalists from Cedarvale TV. When can we schedule an interview? Ever thought about becoming a celebrity?” “Hello Flora, this is…
“Hello Flora, this is…”
Call after call poured in, and Raul couldn’t take it anymore. He yanked the phone cord out of the wall
“Hey s
“Hey sis, check your scores already.”
Henrik’s eyes were sparkling with excitement. When he had topped the city, it wasn’t nearly this big of a deal. He had a feeling Flora’s score would be off the charts.
Flora pulled out her phone and logged onto the website. After refreshing, a row of numbers appeared on the screen. She glanced at it, raising an eyebrow slightly. Just as she thought, nothing surprising.
As they studied Flora’s calm expression, Raul and Hennik’s hearts pounded in their chests
*Did the results come out?”
“They did.”
Flora said calmly, then handed the phone over. Raul and Henrik leaned in to look, and then…
They were stunned
They glanced at the ever–calm Flora again and silently closed their gaping mouths. Flora was so chill. They couldn’t let her down by freaking out.
The news that Cedarvale had produced the national top scorer spread like wildfire across the internet. Flors’s achievement was trending everywhere.
“I couldn’t even dream of scoring that high”
“This isn’t just a top student or a genius, it’s like the Goddess of Literature herself came down!”
“Anyone who’s been through high school knows it’s impossible to lose so few points in humanities. There’s definitely something fishy here. I demand to see the exam room surveillance footage!”
“I agree with the comment above. Perfect scores in Spanish and math, fine. But this in humanities? No way! I study until late every night, my hair’s falling out, and my face is covered in zits. Look at Flora. She’s just like that Carina before, all looks and no substance!”
“Get real, how could you cheat on a national exam? Even if you did, could you score this high? Even with the answers, you couldn’t copy them perfectly,
Flora’s scores were so insanely high that the internet was in an uproar, especially when someone dug up her high school grades, which were mostly single digits. She was a total underachiever back then. This commotion even caught the attention of top officials in the Department of Education,
