Once Nathalie Quinlan entered the exam room for Class B, she realized that among all the candidates, she was the only one from Class A; the rest were unfamiliar faces.
As soon as she walked in, everyone turned to look at her in unison, their gazes a mix of curiosity, scrutiny, and the thrill of spectating.
Nathalie Quinlan didn't look at anyone. She discarded the 2B pencils and a gel pen she had prepared onto the first desk in the front row, pulled out a chair, and sat down with a defiant air.
Soon after, the proctor carrying test papers arrived.
No. 1 Middle School took the senior year's practice exams very seriously, and to prevent cheating, each classroom was assigned two proctors. Coincidentally, the proctors for Class B were Gabriella Cagwin and another unrecognizable new face.
