GoodReadLuis did not do as well in Biology and French as he did in other subjects. In the midterm exam, his biology and French were a bit at a disadvantage.
Torey had a good balance in every subject. He ranked second in the midterm exam, but his score was lower than Luis's by 10 points, which made him depressed.
When Alexa took Alison to find Torey, Torey was indeed upset at his scores.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlexa went through the back door of Class No. 1 and found Torey. She patted his shoulder. "Don’t be upset! Alison turned down Luis and cto you to work on the problems in the math paper. What are you so unhappy about?" Hearing Alexa's words, Torey immediately perked up, his eyes lighting up. "Really?" "Why would | lie to you? Luis just got pissed off at Alison. If you don't believe me, ask Alison!" Torey knew he was no match for Luis, but Alexa's words gave him sconfidence anyway.
What's more, Alexa and Alison both did well in math in this midterm exam, and Torey was so happy. He was dedicated to helping the two girls in their math for a period of time. He was literally their mentor now.
Now that his "students" had done well, Torey was proud.
Alexa's reassurance cheered Torey up. He grabbed his math paper and followed Alexa out of the classroom.
Half an hour later, Alison and Alexa walked out of the building.
Alison didn’t understand the last question of the math paper, as Torey's method was a bit complicated, so she was thinking about that question all the way. When they reached the school gate, a boy’s familiar voice called out, "Alison!" Both Alison and Alexa were startled.
Looking in the direction of the voice, Alexa saw a tall boy in a loose school uniform sitting on the fence at the school entrance.
The boy had a lollipop in his mouth. He looked cute. But he wore his school uniform so casually that it made him look like a punk.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlexa subconsciously shielded Alison behind her. "Do you know him?" Alison nodded her head. Watching Jacob walk up to her, she felt embarrassed, "Why are you here?" Jacob glanced at Alexa and then walked around behind her to take Alison's arm. "Of course, | cto see you! | did so badly on my midterm. | need your help.” Alison shook off his hand. "You should find a tutor! I'm very busy. I'm struggling to catch up with my classes." Alexa wasn’t as slow as Alison. She understood immediately that Jacob liked Alison.
Alexa assumed the boy should mean no harm to them, and she was relieved. She stood there watching the scene.
"You study well, don’t you?" "I'm bad at math." Jacob persisted, "I don't need you to helpwith math!" "My mom said if | got into the top 300 in the grade on the final exam, she would give$50,000 as a reward. | can share it with you!" Jacob had given Alison money to ask her to play games with him, so he thought his suggestion would work.
Alison refused, "No. It's not about money." Jacob seemed to think of something. He raised an eyebrow, "We used to be classmates after all. Can you helpwith my lessons on the weekends, please?" Alison didn't know how to say no to people, especially when they pleaded with her.
Even though she was not friends with Jacob, she would be too embarrassed to refuse his request.
Alexa could see Alison got embarrassed. She laughed, "I want the money! Except for math, my grades are pretty good. How about | help you with your lessons?" Jacob frowned, "I don't know you. | just need Alison to teach me!" Alexa grunted, "Do you really want Alison to help you with your lessons? You're clearly trying to chase Alison, aren't you?"
