章 5: WIN THE BET 1

AMARANTA CID raised her hand, not wanting to share a desk with the male classmate.

Because if she did well on her exam this time, her classmates, as well as the teacher, would assume that she had cheated.

When the English teacher saw Amaranta raise her hand, she immediately remembered all the strange and outrageous and unintelligent excuses she always came up with just to get out of having to stay in her lessons.

"AMARANTA CID, what is it now?"

"It is this way, sir. I request that my desk be moved to the podium when I take the test."

-The English teacher was surprised. He thought Amaranta would hand in a blank sheet of paper or work her way through the test questions, only to hand in a sheet of paper with a few scribbles on it and walk out of the classroom without further excuse. So surely he wouldn't do something different this time instead of taking his test?

-. "Amaranta Cid, what are you doing now? Do you plan to ascend to heaven?" - At the words of the English teacher, all the students in the class burst into laughter. - "Well, if you are not willing to take this exam, you can do it from the patio, I will see you, or you can go out to the hallway to do it! "What do you think of my idea?"

-Containing her great temper and still looking defiant, Amaranta Cid moved her desk towards the hallway.

So what would happen if she had to sit in the hallway? She would still ace the test and show them that she can achieve a great grade, so she could give them a big slap in their big face without needing to do anything else!

She-she was determined to use her results to make everyone realize that bad students also had a sense of dignity and deserved respect. She could still become one of the best students, she had enough time to try her best and emerge triumphant from this test, which in her other life she could not overcome, to manage to go to university and not to just any one but to the best in the country. -

"Okay then. Let's begin the test, starting with English spelling and dictation."

-The English teacher pressed the PLAY button on the recording machine, and within moments, a clear voice speaking in fluent English moved around the classroom, making a dictation sentence. Amaranta Cid began writing without a moment's hesitation, continuing until the English passage was completed. Then without wasting any time she turned her attention to the questions on the exam. For Amaranta, third grade English was actually quite simple. Ella amaranta finished answering the questions on the English exam in just thirty.

-"Professor, I have finished answering the questions."- Raising her hand, Amaranta Cid handed her completed exam to the English teacher.

-Before accepting Amaranta's completed mock exam, the English teacher simply assumed that he would hand over a blank piece of paper. Therefore, he did not show much interest. That is... Until he actually held Amaranta Cid's test paper in her hand. Surprisingly, he looked at Amaranta. It was... Was this possible? Or rather, how is it possible that she handed in an exam with all the questions solved? -

"Professor, can I bother you to start evaluating my answers to the English test now?" - Amaranta Cid asked very correctly, but with some security. Picking up a red pen, the English teacher read and seriously evaluated Amaranta's answers. Finally, in the score box, he wrote "149."

-Politely, Amaranta asked the teacher- "Sir, would it be okay for me to sit in the hallway and study?"

-The English teacher nodded. Amaranta Cid retrieved her backpack, opened it and, taking out an exercise sheet, began to sit at his desk to work hard on the exercise questions.

-There were only 100 days left until the university entrance exams, and time was running out. He couldn't afford to waste even a minute. As long as she might have to self-study, she couldn't afford to miss a second chance to change her past in her favor and achieve her revenge on those who killed her and her little one. from her Álvaro Roing-

Putting herself on the exercise sheet, Amaranta Cid realized that for her those questions could also have come from another planet, she did not remember anything that was written in the questions. She had no idea what they were and she definitely had no idea how to answer them.

How could she expect to turn the tables in a hundred days and go from being a bad student to a top student?!

Having been assigned to the science stream at her school, the subjects she had to be asked in the university entrance exams included language, mathematics, English and the three main subjects of an assignment of Physics, Chemistry and Biology.

The key problem was... Currently, he excelled only in English and does not need further study or special tutoring.

But as for the other subjects, he really had to start from the beginning, so he had to come up with a good study plan.

Reaching out with her hands, Amaranta slapped her cheeks and told herself to get her act together and not let herself be defeated before it had even begun, defeat is for losers and she had experienced it once and it ended very well! bad for her, it ended in her death!

Since the heavens have given him a chance to start from the beginning...

So... From there, she simply had to put everything she had into her studies and be well prepared for the university entrance exams.

If only she could get a place at the country's main university, she would work hard and use her academic results to eclipse Ana Santamarina, the cause of her death.

The English teacher looked at Amaranta Cid's completed exam that he had been holding in her hand. He was absolutely sure that Amaranta hadn't cheated, but why? Why were her test results so unusual and suddenly excellent?

...Had she been hiding his knowledge and talent from her all this time?

-Mariana Cid was the second person in the class to hand in her exam. Full of confidence, conceit and arrogance, she presented the work to the teacher. - "Professor, can you also evaluate my answers now and let me know my score on the English exam?"

-Now, Mariana Cid had always been quiet and submissive, the model student with the good traits, good grades, discipline and manners that all the teachers liked. That was the reason why the English teacher couldn't reject her request. "Of course, Mariana. Please wait outside in the hallway too."

-Thanking the teacher with a sweet smile, needless to say it was a very hypocritical smile, she approached Amaranta's side. Who found herself leaning against the metal railing placed along the hallway, he looked condescendingly at Amaranta, who was preoccupied with planning her study schedule.

"Amaranta Cid while she was answering the test questions, I thought about what I should make you do as punishment when you lose the bet." - she commented in a presumptuous manner with a half-closed look and a mocking smile.

-Closing her notebook, Amaranta Cid raised her head and looked at Mariana Cid. With her back to the light, Mariana's youthful features were hidden in the darkness, except for the faint evil glint that shone in her eyes, those eyes that showed an evil hidden from others who could easily be fooled. Winner and loser are yet to be determined, we don't know who will end up being the victor. "Mariana Cid, don't be arrogant and don't rush your words or your tongue could become twisted, tied and choke you!"

-Noticing that it was almost the end of class, Amaranta put her things in her backpack. Mariana assumed that Amaranta planned to flee knowing that she would lose. She reached out and grabbed Amaranta's backpack, to stop her. - "Amaranta Cid, are you planning to run away for fear of losing?"
