"Show me some real results, then talk to me. If your students were all excelling, I wouldn''t question a word about any of them, and L could wear make up however she likes." Another teacher chimed in, "Yeah, the most important thing for students is their grades. If their grades aren''t good, everything else is meaningless."
Dorothy looked at Alvin with disdain and provocation.
Alvin sneered and addressed everyone, "So, ording to you, a student''s character, personality, and health are all less important than their grades? Dorothy, just because your students have good grades, does that give you the right to criticize others?
"I don''t care about grades now; I want my students to be of integrity. As a teacher, you nder my students out of nowhere. Is this how you teach your students? Today, you won''t get off me until you apologize."
Alvin''s words were powerful, leaving all the teachers speechless.
Dorothy''s face turned pale, and she pointed at Alvin. "You."
L suddenly sighed, and everyone turned to look at her.
The other teachers didn''t understand what L meant.
L nced at everyone and nodded seriously. "Yes, grades are indeed important.
"But who says ss 12J is a bad ss?" The next second, L raised her head, her tone confident.
She then walked step by step towards Dorothy, and said in a cold voice, "Just because thest student in ss 12A has better grades than the top student in ss 12J? There''s still time before the SATs, and no one should jump to conclusions. ss 12J will humiliate your ss 12A with our grades."
Alvin looked at L in disbelief.
Charley was stunned.
Eleanor''s eyes widened.
Dorothyughed angrily, "Fine. I didn''t expect you to have such guts. Let''s see how ss 12J can beat ss 12A."
L raised an eyebrow and confidently said, "You''ll see that your ss 12A is not even worth trash."
"You think you got balls? If ss 12J beats ss 12A, I''ll kneel and apologize to you."
L raised an eyebrow and looked at the others. "You all heard that."
The room fell silent.
L looked at Dorothy again, pointing at her. "You will kneel."
With that, L turned and left regally.
Charley and Eleanor exchanged a nce and quickly followed her out.
Alvin watched L''s back and smiled helplessly.
He liked L''s arrogance.
Just like him!
Alvin never hit women; otherwise, Dorothy might have gotten a beating. Besides, hitting a bad woman wasn''t worth his effort.
In ss 12A, Dorothy walked into the ssroom with a stack of love letters and scolded the students. She also added her twist to the story, telling the entire ss 12A what had happened in the office.
Susanne''s deskmate heard this and said to Susanne, "Susanne, you were right. That L is an idiot. Why she dares topete with our ss in grades? It''s so foolish."
Susanne sneered, "Maybe she''s actually excellent at school?"
Her deskmateughed mockingly.
Susanne smiled and said nothing.
This matter spread throughout Holy Light Elite Academy; even the lower grades knew about the bet between the best ss, ss 12A, and the worst ss, ss 12J, in the 12th grade.
Some even started a betting pool on the school forum.
Most believed ss 12A would win.
[It''s hrious that the worst ss dares to challenge the best ss.]
[I used to think L was smart, but now it seems she''s just pretty.]
During her free time, L also checked the forum. She didn''t respond to thements but pinned a post to the top. The content was about the SAT bet between ss 12A and ss 12J, with ss 12A''s homeroom teacher Dorothy personally promising to kneel and apologize to L if ss 12J won.
The forum administrators couldn''t even delete the post.
As a result, not only the students but also the leadership and faculty of Holy Light Elite Academy paid close attention to this bet.
