Chapter 44 English Scores


    Alina was most afraid of sudden silence.


    Stunned for a few seconds, Alina cleared her throat and said, "Well, when I went out today, I saw this


    funny thing, so I bought one for you. Do you like it?"


    Alina opened the small box in her hand and handed it to Sheffield. There was a ceramic bunny in the


    box. The bunny looked cool. Alina thought that this bunny was somewhat like Sheffield. So she bought


    it.


    Sheffield nced at it and said in disgust, "It''s so ugly. Take it away!"


    ''s... How could he say that?'' When Alina was about to re at him, she remembered her intention,

    so she forced a smile and said, "You don''t like this, do you? I have another one which I bought it for


    myself, or you can have that one."


    Alina took out another one which was a bunny with ascivious look.


    This bunny caught the attention of Sheffield. It was lying on Alina''s palm. Its eyes were blinking and its


    mouth was watering. It was a frivolous bunny.


    "Childish!" Pausing for a moment, Sheffield said in a despised tone.


    "It''s not childish. It''s cute!" Alina pped the bunny on Sheffield''s arm and said, "Well, this one is for


    you. I want the cool one!"


    After sending the gift, Alina immediately said goodbye, "You go on with the game. I''m leaving. Bye."


    She came and went in a hurry, and Sheffield stared at the bunny with mixed feelings.


    The next day, a new week began. Alina went to school as usual.


    In the morning, Alina greeted Sheffield. It was rare that he didn''t turn a blind eye to her, and he replied,


    "Good morning."


    Alina suddenly felt that the bunny sent yesterday was worth it.


    After having breakfast in a harmonious atmosphere, they went to school together.


    On the way, Alina happily showed the bunny on her bag to Sheffield. He took a look and didn''t say


    anything.


    Alina encouraged herself that at least he took a look at it. They didn''t even make eye contact before.


    Now he did much better than before.


    She mustn''t give up!


    Before she got off the car, Alina said to Sheffield in a serious tone, "Be careful at school. Don''t go to a


    remote ce alone. Leave school with your ssmates. If you leave schoolte, call me and I''lle


    to pick you up."


    "I don''t have your number." Sheffield looked at Alina and suddenly said.


    "What?" Alina paused for a while. She didn''t seem to have his number either. She took out her phone


    immediately and said, "Tell me your number. I''ll call you."


    "16676577868." Sheffield said very quickly without a pause.


    "Don''t be so quick," Alina said. "I can''t remember. Say it again."


    She hadn''t used the physical keypad for a long time.


    Then she made a call. Sheffield looked at the number on the screen and hung up.


    "Miss ina, your school is here." The driver reminded Alina.


    "Thank you, David." Alina opened the door, got off and waved to Sheffield, and then closed the door.


    She went all the way to ss 126. The ssroom was as noisy as before.


    With a faint smile on her face, Alina walked towards her seat. When Rose saw her, she greeted her at


    once, "Good morning!"


    "Good morning."


    "What''s wrong with your face? It''s a little swollen on the right." Rose was sharp eyed and could tell the


    difference at a nce.


    Upon hearing this, Alina touched her face subconsciously and said with a smile, "When I picked up my


    pen, I hit the table by ident. Luckily, I was not badly hurt, otherwise I would be embarrassed today."


    "You are too careless. Fortunately, you bumped into a table. If you hit something sharp, you would be


    disfigured!"


    "You''re right. From now on, you must be careful when picking up things," said Alina.


    Rose sighed and changed the topic, "I heard that our exam results havee out. My score is


    definitely not high."


    "Don''t worry. It''s not that bad," replied Alina, trying to console her.


    "Of course you don''t worry. You got over ny points in math. I don''t know if I have fifty points."


    "The score of a course doesn''t determine the ranking."


    "Don''t talk to me, please." Rose rolled her eyes at Alina.


    "Fine, fine. I don''t talk to you, I''ll read."


    Soon, the bell rang. Then, Leo walked in from the back door with a bag.


    His eyes fell on Alina and then he moved to his seat.


    As soon as Leo came to his seat, Mr. Su came in with English exam papers in his arms.


    He put the exam papers on the tform, grinning. He nced across the room and paused slightly as


    he saw Alina.


    "Students, the results of the English papers havee out. Now I''ll hand out the papers, and we will


    talk about it in the ss."


    After he finished his words, he began to hand out the papers, "Victor, Mark, Gordon..."


    Rose stared at the exam papers on the tform. She felt nervous and wondered how many points she


    could get.


    "Yana."


    When Alina heard the name of her desk mate, she quickly moved her chair forward to let her out.


    Yana went to the tform to get the paper. As soon as she saw the score, she sighed and walked back


    gloomily.


    "How many points did you get?" Two female students who sat in front of her turned around and asked


    when they saw Yana.


    Alina nced at the paper on the desk and saw 63.


    Yana made no reply and motioned to them to look at the paper themselves, and the two students


    nced at the score and quickly turned around.


    "Rose."


    Rose stood up immediately and said to her desk mate, "I''m so nervous. What should I do? Emma, do


    you think I will only get thirty points?"


    Emma pushed her, "Don''t think too much. Go and get your paper!"


    Rose walked hurriedly and took the exam paper from the teacher. She looked at it. Fifty-nine points. All


    right, all right.


    Alina asked, "Well, are you satisfied with the score?"


    Rose nodded with a smile, "Yes, I''m very satisfied. My requirement is not very high."


    Alina thought she did well in the exam. She took a closer look at her score and suddenly felt that she


    was so easy to be satisfied.


    "Eddie."


    Hearing the name of Eddie, Cary immediately shouted, "Sir, how many points has he got in the exam?


    Please tell us so that we can know about others'' performance."


    Mr. Su smiled and said, "Eddie, forty-seven points."


    "Oh my God!" Cary was gloating.


    Soon, Mr. Su announced loudly, "Cary, forty-six points."


    Now he wasughed at by others.


    "Bonnie, 83. Ivy, 87." The two girls smiled at each other. Both of them had the highest scores in the


    ss.


    "ina," Mr. Su paused after reading her name. "She has made great progress. Everyone should learn


    from her..."


    A naughty boy asked, "Sir, you said that she made great progress. What score did she get?"


    The teacher took a nce at him and answered, "Eighty-six points."


    "Wow..." The students widened their eyes.


    At this moment, the crowd burst into a loud exmation. Although Alina looked calm, she felt


    embarrassed. It was only 86. Didn''t they overreact?


    Rose looked at Alina in shock, "You did so well on the exam. If I knew it earlier, I would have copied


    your answers!"


    "You''re exaggerating. I just pass the exam."


    Yana stared at the score on the paper and wondered how she could make such progress.


    The two girls sitting at the front desk turned around and looked at the score on the paper, full of


    admiration. "If only I could get such a high score in English!"


    "ina, good job! We''re counting on you for the English exam." The boy in the back poked her with a


    pen and said.


    Alina smiled at them and said nothing.


    All the papers were handed out in ten minutes. Mr. Su knocked on the ckboard to keep quiet.


    "You all got the paper. You can see if you did well in the exam. Did you listen to me? About eighty-five


    percent of the questions on the exam paper were emphasize again and again by me in ss. You still


    made mistakes. I looked at the answers you gave me when I corrected the exam papers and I was very


    angry!"


    The students lowered their heads, not daring to look at the teacher.


    It suddenly urred to Alina how her English teacher exined exam papers when she was in high


    school.


    Generally, she would ask the subject representative to hand out the exam papers first. Then she only


    exined a few questions that were easy to get wrong. For other questions, she would exined only


    when someone asked.


    She had never scolded them like that.


    Alina couldn''t help feeling sorry for Mr. Su.


    Mr. Su exined the exam paper earnestly.


    After the morning reading and the first ss, they didn''t even finish one exam paper.


    If it were her former ss, they had finished ten exam papers.


    As soon as the ss bell rang, Mr. Su said in a weak voice, "ss over." Then he picked up his things


    and walked out of the ssroom, sighing deeply.


    "ina, I''ve just asked around. Your English score seems to be the second in our ss!" Rose said


    excitedly.


    Alina was surprised, "Oh, no. The highest score in our ss is only 87?"


    Rose replied, "Yes, Ivy got the highest score. Didn''t you hear?"


    "Maybe someone got higher scores?"


    "Are you an idiot? Bonnie and Ivy always get the highest scores in English. Trust me, no one else can


    get a higher score than them, except you."


    While they were talking, Leo came over from behind, carrying a bag in his hand.
