Cheryl is jealous of Lilly’s popularity and the fact that everyone seems attracted to her. What made her so special?
It was simply due to her family’s background. Many people would like me too if I were the Little Miss of the richest
family. If I had such excellent brothers, I would also be adored by everyone. It was simply unfair that Lilly had
everything I desired! Everything I had was the result of my hard work.
Cheryl was dissatisfied and walked back to the classroom with a calm expression on her face. Suddenly, a
classmate who happened to be walking beside her asked, “Cheryl, who is that? Is that Lilly from the Crawford
family?”
The majority of students who study at this school come from good family backgrounds. Because the Crawford
family was wealthy, others would gossip about them behind their backs. Some knew that the Crawford family’s
Little Miss had been homeschooling at home. Additionally, they were also aware that only the oldest brother of the
Crawford family performed exceptionally well in school, while the others would skip school for days.

with jealousy, “No matter who she is, she should attend classes.” Cheryl said, “Hey, don’t talk about others like that;
maybe they have their reasons.” There were two more people in the area. After hearing what Cheryl had to say,
they asked, “What’s the reason she could skip school for two years? And now it’s already the end of the semester.”
“The final exam is approaching; let’s see how she makes a fool of herself.” “Yeah, she doesn’t study at all, so how
can she get good grades on the exam?”
That’s right! Teachers liked students who excelled in their studies! The final exam will be held this week, and I was
confident that I would be able to beat Lilly. Cheryl felt much better after thinking about it and was more eager to
learn. Every day, she would be the first one to arrive at school. When she met the teacher, the teacher would
always compliment her, saying, “Cheryl is so hardworking!”
Josh and Hannah sent Lilly to school on Friday. “Lilly, the final exam is about to start today. Do you feel nervous?”
Josh stated it tensely. Hannah asked, “How about I give you that pen? It doesn’t matter because I often fail the
exam.” “No need!” said Lilly while shaking her head. “Don’t underestimate me!” Despite what Lilly said, it had been
challenging to study all of the subjects within this short period. Josh was concerned because she was becoming
exhausted. Lilly then said confidently, “Don’t worry, I can do it!”
Soon after the exam was over, Lilly left the building. Josh and Hannah were waiting for her. They came towards Lilly
as soon as they noticed her and asked about her performance on the exam. Drake was already waiting in the car,
and they departed while laughing and chatting. Cheryl felt jealous as she watched this scene. “We will see; you
won’t be able to laugh any longer on Monday when the results are announced,” said Cheryl.
A classmate suddenly caught up, interrupted, and said, “Cheryl, the exam was so difficult, I must have failed!” “How
could it be? It’s very simple!” Cheryl exclaimed. “Only you think that way; why can’t I be like you?” the classmate
yelled. “You have good academics and are attractive! You will undoubtedly get first place when the results are
announced. Can you teach me later?” Cheryl smiled, nodded, and said, “No problem.”
The sixth-grade questions were more difficult this time. But Josh successfully took first place in the exam, and
Cheryl placed third. Cheryl started crying right there in the middle of the class before the teacher left. She didn’t do
well. The teacher came over to comfort her, saying, “You have put in a lot of effort. If you don’t obtain the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmoutcomes you were hoping for, don’t give up. Just keep up the good work in the future!”
In the meantime, Josh had already grabbed the test paper and was on his way to Lilly to show it off. Josh returned
with a joyful expression as the class was about to begin, boasting to his classmate, “My sister also took first place in
the exam!” “Wow, you meant your cute sister, right? This is incredible! She is gorgeous and intelligent.” Cheryl
sobbed once again when she heard this. Several classmates who comforted her were speechless.
One of her classmates said, “Well, let’s not compare her with others; she has talent!” “Yes, we must work hard and
not compare ourselves to others.” Another girl who had previously been chatting with Cheryl agreed and said, “Lilly
is amazing. She has never attended school before, but she still managed to ace the test!” Cheryl cried and said,
“What makes me upset is not that I didn’t do well on the exam, but rather that I feel like it was pointless for me to
work so hard. The world is truly unjust. The Crawford family is rich.”
This implied that the grades of the Crawford family’s children were bought with money. Either they paid the teacher
or the school handed them the test questions before the exam. They couldn’t possibly get good results on their
own.
