When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 176

The teacher said purposefully, keeping them dangling, "So, who wants to take a wild guess at who our class top-scorer might be?"

Evelina chimed in, "It's gotta be our No.1 class rep, right?"

"Absolutely, if we're talking top scorer, it has to be our class rep. His grades have been top three in our grade for years. No doubt it's him."

Just then, the class rep stood up and said, "Not me."

"How is that possible? If it's not him, then who else could possibly be the top scorer? Maybe the runner-up?"

When the teacher saw reporters also joining in, she quickly announced, "It's Lemira."

The classroom went dead silent.

Then Jessica let out a squeal, "Oh my god, it's you! You're the top of the city? Wow, you’re incredible!"

The rest of the students were stunned. They had guessed many names, but Lemira as the top scorer was beyond their wildest thoughts.

Evelina was dumbfounded upon hearing the news. How could Lemira be number one in the city?

This news hit Evelina harder than a freight train.

Jessica glanced at Evelina and snickered to her sidekick, "Ha! Remember who was offering to retake the year with our city's top scorer, as if they had the right to talk about retaking the year with her? Such a shame."

"Don't make me laugh, Jessica. This is the funniest joke I've heard in my life."
