The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 71

The results of the preliminary exams had just been released, and students, even those who hadn't participated, were whipping out their phones in a frenzy to check the scores. Everyone was curious about Mirabella, the new girl rumored to have pulled strings to get into Parkside High School. They wondered if her score would be an abysmal twenty or so.

However, at the moment when they saw the ranking of the grades, everyone's eyes almost popped out.

“Holy smokes, is the new girl some kind of genius? She nailed a perfect score!”

“My eyes must be deceiving me. Wasn’t she the one they said got in through pulling strings?”

“In this day and age, pulling strings gets you perfect scores? What was the point of my honest effort to get in?”

“Could it be cheating? Think about it, someone who got into Parkside High School through connections could easily snag a copy of the exam answers. Plus, she’s an arts student and she aced the science questions too?”

“It’s downright spooky.”

The chatter was nonstop, and the consensus was split between shock and skepticism over Mirabella's score.

When Mirabella returned to the classroom, she was met with a barrage of complicated stares.

“Hey, Mirabella. When the teacher asked you to go to the office, was it about the results of the preliminary exams?” Jenna asked, her face a blend of excitement and gossip.

Mirabella just arched an eyebrow and hummed noncommittally.

“You're so secretive, scoring top marks on the prelims.” Jenna smacked her lips and added, “For an arts student to ace the science questions, that’s seriously impressive.”

Mirabella offered a smile. “That’s why I told you to hit the books.”

Jenna was momentarily speechless, feeling mocked. But then something clicked in Jenna's mind, and she leaned over Mirabella's desk to pull out several books that she often saw Mirabella reading.
