"One question, though. Why were you always turning in blank papers? Kerry asked, her curiosity piqued Hera's reply was nonchalant, bordering on smag. “The papers were too easy. I didn't feel like doing them." The entire class greaned in unison.
Was this the gap between a genius and a slacker? They'd never know for sure.

"Apparently, your brother placed a five-million-dollar bet on the forum on you doing well. Needless to say, you blew everyone away.
