Chapter 39 The Fall of Naomi
After all, aside from the last monthly exam, Eliza’s performance had always been inconsistent.
“Teacher. what about Naomi?” Zayden suddenly asked, realizing her name was nowhere among the award recipients.
Not even once.
At the mention of Naomi, the homeroom teacher sighed, clearly frustrated. “She failed the exam.
Zayden froze.
“Naomi? Failed? That can’t be right. There must be a mistake.”
Naomi had always had good grades. Even if her last exam wasn’t great, failing outright seemed impossible.
“I haven’t received the original test paper yet, but I do have a photo of it.”
The teacher then pulled up a photo of the test and handed it to Zayden. “See for yourself. Also, please tell Naomi to come to Jmy office. I need to speak with her.”
Zayden glanced at the photo.
Most of the paper was blank. The large problems in the back hadn’t even been touched.
Suddenly, a memory surfaced: Naomi’s practice book. It had been completely blank too.
She’d explained it by saying she had already finished a whole workbook and was using the new one just for review.
At the time, he hadn’t thought much of it.
But now if she’d really done that much work, why had he never once seen her solve a single problem?
Eliza, on the other hand.
Zayden fell into deep thought
He left the office silently, but not before casting a long glance at Eliza.
From the dark, conflicted look in his eyes, Eliza could tell: Zaydeh was starting to suspect Naomi.
But to her, that didn’t matter anymore.
She turned and walked away.
Naomi, it’s your turn to explain all those tests I took for you.
Class 1.
Zayden stood at the door.
Naomi lit up when she saw him and rushed over to ask why he’d gone to the office, but Zayden spoke first.
“The math competition results are out. Want to know your score?”
Her smile froze.
“Sixty–three,” he said flatly. “I didn’t expect this from you.”
Naomi paled. “Zayden, I…”
“You didn’t take the last few monthly exams yourself, did you?”
Zayden’s eyes were cold, his voice even colder.
And he remembered how, on the way to the math competition, Naomi had boasted she was sure she’d win an award.
“And the last monthly exam?”
Zayden pressed on. “You barely passed, and that test was way easier than the ones before. How did you even manage that?”
“I don’t want to hear it. Save your explanation for the teacher.”
