I smiled a little after he replied me,
"why will you be keeping a close watch on me, I'm a good girl"
I said while letting out a seductive smile,
"Well, we will see it soon enough"
he said. The bus arrived at our school gate and the faces of everyone on the bus all signified that they weren't ready for school as some of them frowned immediately as the driver drove into the school compound,
"We are here students, hurry down to your classes"
he said, I came down from the bus and stayed back to wait for Miles. He came down and ran towards some boys who waved to him from afar and I stood there looking so surprised because I thought he would follow me to class,
"seems he has finally left you afterward"
one of the boys mocked me as he walked alongside some other white kids. I simply walked to class with my bag and on getting there, it was quite filled already so I quickly took my seat at the front, the very point that most students hate with a strong passion because it's directly opposite my teacher's table so there is no chance to carry out some fun and mischievous stuff, we are going to be taking a test today and I'm not even sure if I have read for that test.
"Hope you all remember that you will be taking your English test today?"
our female teacher asked, everyone responded except me and this made her direct her attention toward me,
"Miss Grace, why aren't you responding or is there something wrong?"
she asked and this made the whole class stare at me as everywhere became silent, I started feeling uncomfortable with all eyes on me.
"I'm not sure I will be able to write this test because I'm not prepared, I didn't read for it"
I said quietly to avoid others hearing what I'm saying,
"seems we have a stubborn student in our midst, I clearly told everyone to prepare for this test and Miss Grace here is telling me that she hasn't prepared for this test, your parents are expecting nothing less than A+ in this test and they will be disappointed if any of you should score less so the ball is in your court"
she said
"She is going to fail for sure, next time she will remember to read her books"
a backbencher said out loud and the whole class burst into laughter while I sat down there looking so sad because they will start thinking that I'm a dull kid,
"let the test begin"
our teacher said and brought out a large pile of question booklets that she intends to share with us all. I used my eyes to count them and if I'm not mistaken, they might be a hundred booklets there because we are actually a hundred and ten in my class so the booklets are quite much.
I stood up from my chair and opted to help her with the booklets,
"Grace please go to your seat and wait for your booklet, I didn't ask for your help"
she said, I was completely taken aback by what she said and this stirred up another outburst of laughter from my classmates and this time, they laughed harder like they were watching a comedy show from Kelvin Hart.
"Go and sit down and wait for your failure"
one of the boys screamed, I walked back to my seat and sat down with tears almost dropping from my eyes, I looked around and found Miles staring at me, he was a bit sad with the way the others were busy laughing at me, soon the test started and they were thirty questions on the booklet.
I simply close my eyes immediately after seeing the content in the booklet,
"you have one hour for this test and once you aren't done, I will take your booklet, if you prove too stubborn, then I will minus from the score you will get at the end of the test so be careful, fast and best of luck to you all"
our teacher said and returned to her seat while everyone took out their pens to pour out the content in their heads. For ten minutes, I kept staring at the whole class aimlessly and I decided to close my eyes for five minutes and behold, I started visualizing the way our English teacher taught the various topics on the board
The whole scene started playing like a movie in my head and I grabbed hold of my pen and started writing everything down, killing each question with the appropriate answers in less than twenty-eight minutes, I was completely done so I went through my work to be sure that I answered all correctly.
"Ma'am I'm done"
I said out loud and the whole class turned to me with shock on their faces, my teacher was equally shocked too,
"Are you sure you answered your questions or you simply wrote down anything writeable?"
she asked,
"I wrote the appropriate answers needed ma'am"
I said with a smile on my face
"She obviously wrote rubbish on that booklet, she couldn't have finished all the questions in just a short period"
a voice said softly,
"keep quiet young man or I will make you face detention"
my teacher said out loud and this caused everyone to be extremely careful because they all feared detention. It's one of the most dreaded punishments in the whole school and we all do well to stay away from it,
"alright Grace, you can wait in your seat while I mark your scripts but you will get to see your results later in the day"
she said
I sat down on my chair with a smile on my face, knowing that she is about to get shocked. Can't believe I would remember all that she thought without even opening my books for a single day, gosh I'm really intelligent.
