Exam
Mia quietly sighed.
Seeing Susie being liked by so many people, and everyone involuntarily revolving around her.
She experienced the sour feeling again.
What's so great about it...
It was just the identity of Miss Murray.
If she were also the young lady of the richest family, she would also be able to receive so much love from people.
If she also had such excellent brothers, she would also be able to receive the admiration of everyone.
Heaven was just unfair, giving all of these to Susie and making her so proud.
Unlike her, everything she had was earned through her own efforts.
With such thoughts in mind, Mia walked back to the classroom with a calm expression on her face, but only she knew how unsettled she felt inside.
Coincidentally, a classmate who was walking alongside asked, "Hey, Mia, who is that? Is it Susie from the Murray family who is very favored?"
Most of the families who can afford to send their children to this prestigious private school have a good background, but the Murray family is generally an exception.
Because the Murray family was wealthy, when they were at home, the parents would often discuss the Murray family. As a result, some people also knew that the young Miss Murray had been on a long-term break from school, and even a few of the Murray family's children, except for the eldest brother who was a top student, frequently skipped classes.
So the Murray family's children were once again referred to as the school bully family by some fellow students.
Oh, the reason why the school bully family has more members is because of Lucy.
Mia smiled and said, "Who knows, she often doesn't come to class, I'm not sure either, it seems like the Murray family spoils her more!"
My companion sneered and felt a bit sour, "Hmph, being spoiled means you don't have to go to school. My mom says that's called a decadent scion."
Mia said, "Hey, don't speak ill of others. They might have their reasons."
There were two more onlookers around me. Upon hearing Mia's words, I retorted, "What could be the reason for not attending classes for two years? It's already the end of the semester."
"Preparing for the final exams, let's see how they make a fool of themselves."
"Yeah, yeah, if you don't study, what good grades can you get?"
A glimmer of light flashed in Mia's eyes.
That's right, so what if you have money at home? The teacher still prefers those who have good academic performance!
The final exams are coming up this week, and by then she definitely won't be able to surpass Susie, who doesn't go to school.
Mia felt much better when she thought about it this way, and she had a sense of superiority, which made her more motivated to study.
She used to get up early and stay up late, always being the first one to arrive at school when it opened. The teachers would always praise her, saying, "Mia is really hardworking!"
Mia humbly said, "The teachers arrived earlier, so I really don't count for much. I should be even more humble and cautious in my studies."
The teachers nodded with a satisfied expression on their faces and said, "Well done, keep it up!"
Mia deliberately compared herself to Susie, observing that she arrived at school just in time for class, following the majority of people. Instantly, she felt superior to Susie.
After nearly a week had passed, it was Friday.
Wade and Lucy escorted Susie to the classroom. Wade, feeling worried, said, "Susie, today is the final exam. Are you nervous?"
Lucy asked, "How about I give you that pen? I often run out of ink anyway, so it doesn't matter."
Susie shook her head and said, "No need! Don't underestimate me!"
Although I say so, it has been quite challenging to catch up on the knowledge of grades one, two, and three this week. In addition, she has been studying elevators, so she has started to feel a bit overwhelmed.
Wade was worried as soon as he realized it.
Susie looked confident and said, "Don't worry, I can do it!"
As soon as the exam ended, Susie went out feeling relaxed. Wade and Lucy came over immediately after school, surrounding her and asking how she did on the exam, while checking the answers together.
As they left the school gate, Hamza was already waiting in the car, and they all left with light-hearted laughter.
Mia left slowly, looking at this scene, feeling unbalanced in her heart, but what could she do?
"Just wait, when the Monday results come out, you won't be able to laugh anymore..."
At this moment, someone caught up and said, "Mia, today's exam was so difficult, I'm sure I failed!"
Mia was surprised, "How could it be? It's so simple!"
Classmate cried out, "You think it's easy just because you're a top student! Sigh, why can't I be like you, both beautiful and excellent in grades? It's really..."
"When the results came out, you were definitely the first again. Teach me in the future!"
Mia loved hearing such words and gently replied, "Okay."
Assuming she was definitely the first.
Unexpectedly, Mia was heavily embarrassed when the Monday grades were released.
The questions in this sixth-grade exam were indeed quite difficult, and Mia didn't perform well... She only got third place in the test.
Wade deservedly became the first.
Even the second classmate, who was always suppressed by her in normal times.
The teacher had not even left the classroom when Mia immediately collapsed on the desk and started crying.
He seemed as if he had suffered a great injustice.
The teacher had to come over to comfort: "Mia, you did a great job this time too. You have always been working hard. Don't be discouraged by not doing well this time. Just keep trying harder in the future!"
"Your teachers have always seen your efforts, you were a very diligent student!"
The teacher comforted before leaving.
As for Wade? He had already grabbed the test paper and ran out to show off to Susie.
When Wade was getting ready for class, he came back with a smug face and boasted to his desk mate, "My sister also got first place in the exam! Isn't my sister awesome?!"
Desk mate: "Wow - it's your cute sister who is also very talented. She is not only beautiful but also a top student. 666!"
As soon as Mia heard it, she had already stopped crying with the comfort of her classmates.
She cried again in the end.
Several of her classmates were speechless when they comforted her.
A classmate said, "Alright, let's not compare ourselves to others. They have natural talent and there's nothing we can do about it!"
"Yes, yes, all we need to do is to work hard, and not compare ourselves with others."
Another girl who gossiped with Mia last time nodded and said strangely, "But that Susie is really amazing. She never came to school, yet she managed to get first place in the exams."
Mia choked back tears and shook her head, "You guys are thinking too simplistically, the Murray family had money..."
"I was not sad because I didn't do well in the exam, I just, just felt like what's the point of me working so hard... This world is really unfair..."
Mia looked desolate.
This means that the first of the Murray family's children were all bought with money.
Either the school had given them the test papers in advance.
Either they bribed the teacher to let them cheat, or the teacher showed them favoritism.
Anyway, they definitely didn't come in first based on their own abilities!
