Flora didn’t cheat. She rightfully camed first place!
The assertive declaration sent shockwaves through the audience!
*Flora scored over 742 without cheating and got the top rank for the whole grade? How is that even possible!”

Within the ranks of Class 2, Jennifer’s eyes widened in disbelief. If that loser didn’t cheat, how could she possibly have topped the entire grade?
“I apologize for our previous misunderstanding of Ms. Flora and for any damage to her reputation,” Mr. Trevor said sincerely. “I also hope that our students will take inspiration from Ms. Flora’s experience. It’s a perfect example that with hard work, success is definitely achievable!”
“This can’t be true!” Someone from Class A voiced their skepticism. “Everyone knows Flora’s usual performance. How could she suddenly become the top of the grade!”
Class Z was the one they looked down upon the most, and Flora was considered the least capable among them.
Now that she had scored the highest in the grade, it was a hit to the pride for Class A!
“Sic, you can’t just cover this up because Flora’s family is wealthy Flora is from Class Z, and all of them are underperformers. How could she possibly top the grade!”
Flora moving from the bottom to the top of the grade was utterly absurd. They refused to believe it
Seeing Raul and Henrik standing by Flora’s side, many speculated whether the Irving family’s influence and their donations to the school were behind Mr. Trevor’s alleged falsification.
Before Mr. Trevor could respond, students from Class Z became indignant.
Dane angrily retorted, “What do you mean by ‘Class Z are all underperformers? How are we underperformers? So, only Class A has the right to top the grade?”
“That’s right, even the ‘underachievers‘ of Class Z have topped the grade, beating your class‘ second placer, Carina, by a whopping twenty points!”
Class Z united like never before, not necessarily to defend Flora, but because they couldn’t stand the arrogance of Class A nor tolerate their slander.
“Stop
it! Aren’t you ashamed! Flom clearly cheated!” Jennifer blushed with anger upon hearing Dane and the others.
Dane’s group turned to glance at her, displeased, “When people insult us, we have every night to retaliate. Is it shameful to stand up for ourselves? Jennifer, you’re from Class Z, too. Instead of defending us, you’re siding with others?”
The eyes of Class Z students collectively turned towards Jennifer with disapproval. Ashamed, she fell silent
“Silence! This is a school, not the streets. What next, a brawl?” Mr. Trevor exclaimed, “We have already verified the truth. All teachers can attest that Ms. Flora didn’t cheat.”
“Unless she retakes the exam, we refuse to believe it!”
Class A was in turmoil. They had studied tirelessly, day and night, for years to achieve their proud grades. A student who had always been at the bottom suddenly rising above them was infuriating.
Mr. Trevor found himself in a difficult position. He understood how unbelievable it was for Flora to top the grade, and if these students really started making a fuss, it could become troublesome and could even alert the authorities.
Class Z’s homeroom teacher, Mr. Keaton, suggested, “We assert Flora’s grades are genuine because we’ve retested her. Since there’s disbelief, why not review the surveillance footage?”
