The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Chapter 257
On the other side of town. Anthony was glued to his computer screen, awaiting
the release of the exam scores. The clock struck eight, and he immediately
punched in Mirabella’s ID and hit enter.
His heart was racing, and his fingers were tightly gripping the mouse. As the
page loaded and the scores appeared, Anthony was floored. He had expected
Mirabella to do well, but another perfect score? That was beyond stimulating.
He remembered visiting Vincent earlier that day, post-exam, to inquire about the
test. Vincent hadn't seemed at ease.
“Man, today’s paper was brutal, especially that last physics question. I only
managed to work through a bit of it, and I'm not even sure I got it right,” Vincent
had confessed.
Before Mirabella transferred to Parkside High School, Vincent had been the
uncontested top student, consistently delivering stellar performances. If even he
was uncertain, the exam must have been a beast.
Anthony felt dazed. He stood up, splashed some cold water on his face in the
restroom, and came back to double-check the results. They were still the same:
a perfect 200 out of 200.
Prodigies had appeared in past competitions, but repeat perfect scores were
unheard of. This meant something significant: this year, their nation wouldn't be
left off the leaderboard as in previous years.
Grabbing his phone, Anthony didn't care that it was late evening; he called Mr.
Hammond. Mr. Hammond was about to check Mirabella’'s scores himself, but
Anthony's call made that
unnecessary.
He was just as stunned, managing to keep his voice steady. “Have you checked
Vincent's score?” he asked.
“Oh, right!” Anthony slapped his forehead and switched his phone to speaker
mode. “Got so carried away I almost forgot. Let me see... here it is, 186. That's
not low at all. I reckon he’s probably in second place.”
“That's about what I expected,” Mr. Hammond said calmly.
Anthony, letting go of the mouse, reflected aloud, “In past years, our school
always got outshone by the folks from the neighboring state schools. This year,
we finally get our moment in the sun.”
Parkside High School was among the top five nationwide, and the other four
schools were no slouches either. In previous years, no matter what competition
they participated in, they'd been overshadowed by those schools. But this year, if
Mirabella could snag a spot in the international competition, Parkside High
School would rise with the tide and climb beyond fifth place.
