As Ella's combined and individual marks flashed on the screen, there was pin drop silence in the entire conference room.
Nobody moved or spoke for a while.
Ruby's marks were close to Ella but she had scored a solid '90' in literature which was 9 marks less than Ella's score.
Jasmine, on the other hand, had scored way less, in the 80s scale.
The silence in the room gradually shattered as people broke into gasps and whispers.
Nobody could have betted on this outcome.
Outside the conference room.
"Woah, she got famous real quick," Kade clicked his tongue.
Ruby and Kade stood at a distance and watched Ella being surrounded by a group of over-excited students. Some of them demanded academic tips while some asked her how she did it.
''Cough…"
Hearing the sound of light coughing, Ruby and Kade turned around.
Jasmine stood behind them, with a beautifully packaged box in her hand.
Ruby slowly stepped away from them.
