All Her Secrets

When the exam began, the math teacher entered the classroom and distributed the papers. She immediately noticed that Catherine was sleeping on the desk as usual and didn’t wake her up. As the students received their exam papers, Catherine continued to sleep, undisturbed.

Even halfway through the exam, Catherine remained in slumber.

Only in the last five minutes did Catherine finally wake.

Wearing a smug smile, the math teacher believed Catherine had barely enough time to write her name on the paper.

The math teacher thought Catherine would lose the bet this time, and it would be a relief to get rid of her troublesome presence in the school.

The students stood up as the exam bell rang and turned in their papers.

“Catherine was no exception. The math teacher glanced at her without bothering to look at her answers.

In the math teacher’s view, five minutes wouldn’t be sufficient to answer even a single question. She thought, “I won’t waste my time on her.”

The math teacher was confident that Catherine, the uncultured country girl, would lose the bet.

When Catherine left the exam room, she spotted Bryan rushing towards her, sweat dripping from his face.

Bryan looked at Catherine with guilt and said, “Boss, I’m sorry. I didn’t expect the math teacher to be so ruthless. She even managed to bribe the proctor in my exam room. The teacher deliberately prevented me from submitting my paper before the bell rang.”

Catherine glanced at him indifferently and spoke emotionlessly, “It’s okay.”

The arrangements were less strict since it wasn’t a significant exam. There was only a ten- minute break between the two exams, and soon the bell rang again.

Bryan repeatedly promised to obtain the answers for Catherine.

Unfortunately, he broke his promise again. Who could have imagined this exam would be so serious? It was the same proctor.

Catherine continued her usual routine of sleeping, waking up only in the last five minutes to hastily scribble something on the exam paper.
