People were still fighting in the comment section while the high-school teacher was marking the paper.
[Josephine must be the one who’s telling the truth since she was the one who handed in her paper first!]
[Yeah! Corinne looks like she only handed in her paper because she started to panic after Josephine handed in
hers.]
[So what if she handed in her paper too? The most important thing is to get the answers right.]
[Look, everyone. Corinne’s slumping her head on the table. Is she sleeping?! Is this all a joke to her?]
[I have a classmate exactly like her. He always scores the worst in all of our tests. The only thing he knows how to
do is to sleep in class. You can’t blame us for thinking Corinne is the one who’s lying!]
[Y’all must’ve not met a real straight-A student. Don’t you know they’re not the nerds we think they are? A real
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtstraight A-student is the type of person who can sleep through the class and still get really good grades!]
[Haha! As if! I’ll never believe there’s actually someone like that in the world! This is real life we’re talking about,
not a movie.]
[Well, if you went to the same university as her like I did, you’d know her life is kinda like a movie. Plus, you not
having met someone like that doesn’t mean they don’t exist. In fact, that’s saying more about you than her, so why
don’t you broaden your horizon a little, eh?]
[Yeah, yeah. Next, you’re going to say only those who studied at the University of New Capital City have the
broadest horizon in the world! Well, I hope you can still be as cocky as this after the result comes out!]
[Hey, I think the teacher has finished marking the paper. That means they’re going to announce the result soon!]
[I can’t wait! Josephine will win for sure!]
…
The teacher handed both the test papers back to the host.
A conflicted frown immediately appeared on the host’s face when he saw the result. After that, he looked at the
horde of reporters and camera people off the stage and announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, the result is out! The
specially invited teacher has judiciously marked the paper, and it turns out there’s no winner or loser in this
competition as Miss Corinne and Miss Josephine both got perfect scores!”
All the reporters and camera people frowned in unison.
“They both got perfect scores? How will we know who got a spot in the University of New Capital City back then?”
“Does this mean both of them were straight-A students?”
“Oh man, how are we supposed to report about this then? Who was the one who actually got into the University of
New Capital City?”

“It must be Josephine! Didn’t her mother say Corinne went to terminate her baby instead of taking her SAT?”
“Yeah! Even if they both got perfect scores now, Josephine looked more like the part of a good student.”
“That’s what I think, too…”
The comment section exploded again.
[What the hell? They both got perfect scores? How are we supposed to know who was telling the truth then?]
[It’s Josephine, of course! I mean, she had been farming for the last few years, yet she still could get a perfect
score. Doesn’t that just prove as much?]
[Yeah! Corinne must’ve gotten up to speed with high school material after she got into the University of New Capital
City, the best university in the country! It’s not surprising she’ll get a perfect score.]
[Oh my god! You guys are obviously playing favorites! I mean, Corinne gets a perfect score and it doesn’t prove
anything, but Josephine gets a perfect score and she’s the one telling the truth? Double standard much?]
