“Enna, what nonsense are you talking about? Wouldn’t I be an opportunist if I actually did what you said?” All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
Sarah shot Sienna an angry glare.
She didn’t want to come off as too arrogant in front of her classmates.
However, Sienna’s words did serve as a reminder.
Sarah’s family’s business had been struggling lately. She knew that her university life was bound to be
financially tight.
For now, she had to keep Carlisle interested. She could always discard him once she found a better guy
at university.
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I misspoke!” Sienna quickly apologized as she shook Sarah’s arms playfully.
“Alright, I forgive you. Let’s head to the classroom first!”
Sarah linked her arm with Sienna’s and walked toward the main school building.
Meanwhile, the teachers‘ office bustled with activity.
Several homeroom teachers had gathered around Lucy. Even the principal and the director of the
Education Bureau were present.
“Ms. Turner, you’re really outstanding. Four students from your class have met the Tier 1 University requirements. This is unprecedented in our school!”
“It looks like Ms. Turner will receive the Best Homeroom Teacher of the Year award again this year!”
“Ms. Turner, are you available tomorrow? I’d like to treat you to a meal and learn from you!”
Lucy remained silent as she basked in everyone’s compliments. She felt almost euphoric from the praise.
Since its establishment, Rainville High School had only produced a few students who made it into Tier 1
Universities.
The fact that four students from a single class managed to qualify was unprecedented.
The bald principal, who had a protruding belly, smiled and said, “It’s almost time. Let’s announce the SATs results. Tonight, I’ll treat everyone to a big meal!”
The homeroom teachers then exited the office with their report folders.
Ju
uy stepped out of the office, she suddenly remembered something. She turned back to retrieve a large tote bag from her drawer.
As Lucy entered Class 3A, the room fell silent.
“I’ll be distributing the SATs ‘results,” she announced. “I’ll call out your names. So, please come forward to collect your score reports.”
Lucy wasted no time and began announcing the names on the report folders..
Once the students received their folders, they returned to their seats to check their scores.
“Sienna Thorn!” Lucy called out. She glanced at Sienna with a hint of disappointment.
Sienna was just a few points shy of qualifying for a Tier 2 university. It was indeed a bit of a pity.
Anxiously, Sienna approached and took her report folder.
Back at her seat, Sienna clasped her hands together and silently prayed, “Dear Lord, please bless me to
get into a Tier 2 university.”
Shortly after, she reached into the folder and retrieved her score report.
When she saw her total score of 1045, Sienna felt like the sky had fallen on her.
The minimum requirement for admission to a Tier 2 University was 1060.
In other words, she had no chance of getting admitted into a Tier 2 University.
“Enna, what’s your score?” Sarah leaned over to look at Sienna’s score report upon noticing Sienna’s sour
expression.
Sienna had applied to the Riverland Institute of Business, which was located near Riverland University. It was a college Sarah had helped her choose so they could remain best friends in college.
Upon seeing Sienna’s total score of 1045, Sarah frowned. “Enna, how did you only manage 1045 points?
You studied so hard!”
Sienna was at a loss for words. “The exam questions were completely different from what I prepared for. Why am I so unlucky?” she sobbed.
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face.
Throughout the classroom, various emotions were evident.
“Yes! I got 1000 points! I made it! I made it! I’m the hope of my whole village. We have a college student in our village!”
Some shed tears after failing to secure a spot in a Tier 2 university. Meanwhile, others celebrated simply for gaining admission to a community college.
Sarah held Sienna’s hand and comforted her, “It’s okay, at least you’ll still be able to earn a degree in
college, right?”
“Se
adsen!”
“Here!” Since Wanda was absent, Sean occupied her seat. It was easier for him to collect his report folder.
He retrieved his score report from the folder.
It revealed a score of 1230.
Sean’s lips curved into a wide grin.

Though this score fell short of securing admission to Riverland University, it still opened doors to numerous lower–tiered Tier 1 Universities.
“Sarah Gates!
