Sarah nudged Sophia’s shoulder. Sophia, who was standing in front of the bulletin board, was as nervous as most top students as she watched the staff post the result on the board. Written on it was the winner of the National Scholarship. There was only one winner per school, so the scholarship was extremely precious. All of Sophia’s friends were waiting to witness her glory…
After the result was posted, everyone flocked to see it, so the bulletin board was very crowded. Sophia searched for her name excitedly but to no avail! She thought she had read it wrong, but after reading it again, she still didn’t see her own name.
There was only one winner of the National Scholarship from the School of Business Management this year, but it was not Sophia. She looked at the results blankly, suddenly feeling puzzled.
“Stop searching. Your name isn’t there!”
A cold and ironic voice suddenly sounded from her side. Sophia looked sideways and saw Natasha standing next to her. Natasha wasn’t looking at Sophia but straight at the result on the bulletin board. Staring at the name ‘Natasha Mitchell’ on the board, her eyes shone brightly. Natasha was the only student who received a National Scholarship from the School of Foreign Languages this year. She believed that no one could get this award except herself.
Natasha left triumphantly but Sophia stood in front of the bulletin board, making no move or speaking.
Sean soon realized that something was wrong and hurriedly comforted her, “It’s okay; it’s only 8,000. It’s nothing. The appraisal process for this kind of scholarship is particularly shady, so don’t take it to heart.”
Stanley also quickly persuaded her, “Exactly! It’s only 8,000. Come on, I can give it to you.”
Many students were not satisfied and started whispering among themselves as they stood around the bulletin board.
“Why did Natasha win the National Scholarship? As far as I know, the National Scholarship requires the comprehensive development of morality, intelligence and physical fitness. The topic of the stage name and marriage incident is still trending and she’s the infamous ‘Mrs. Murray’. How could someone like her win the National Scholarship?”
“Keep it down…”
