Chapter 147 - 147: I’m Happier Than That

"Getting first place in the Olympiad twice? Do you have any idea what that means? If it were me, I would never complain about that. I just want to… get her autograph."

"Yeah. You're so lucky to be in the same school as her. What are you complaining about? Do you know the feelings of those of us who can't even see her? I asked for leave twice to see her but was fooled by her both times."

As soon as Sophia entered the class, she was surrounded by her classmates. Before, they were afraid of her, but when they noticed her performance in those months, they thought she was easy and were willing to get close to her. Of course, students of other classes were still afraid of her.

Kevin had contributed to that. He kept telling them what a kind and lovely person his sister was. Louie, who was known as a charming prince, agreed with him. This made students gradually willing to try to change their views on Sophia.

After all, most of them were new students who hadn't lived through the dark years when Sophia ruled the school.

One student asked, "Sophia, are you not coming to class anymore? Now that you're accepted to the university, you don't need to come. Right?"

Sophia thought about it and said, "I don't know how Glinton arranges. Everything is uncertain. If they have no arrangements for me, I may continue to attend school. Although I needn't attend the college entrance examination, there's the graduation examination, and I can't get the certificate if I fail it."

The graduation examination was easy. Everyone could pass it except for a few poor students. It was a piece of cake for her. Was there any need for her to study at school?

Besides, did a high school diploma matter for a person admitted to Glinton? Was the Glinton University diploma not good enough for her?

Kevin didn't move and just smiled in his seat.

Melissa glanced at him. "Look at you. I thought it was you who got into Glinton."

"I'm happier than that."

Melissa also laughed, "Listen to you. People will think you're her brother-in-law. Honestly, I'm not so happy about Boss entering Glinton. I'll feel bored if she doesn't come to school."

As Sophia's deskmate, Louie didn't want her to go. He had been used to her care. Also, he enjoyed making her snacks and was glad to see her enjoying them.

If Sophia didn't come, who did he made the snacks for?

Sophia was speechless at everyone's reaction. She hadn't said anything, but the class reckoned that she was going and prepared themselves for her departure.

That afternoon, her classmates bought alumni books for her to fill out and said that they had intended to do these before the graduation next year, but since she was about to leave early, she should fill them out first.

How did it feel like after the college entrance examination? A final goodbye? That was unbelievable.

What she didn't expect was that more dramatic things were still to come.

A classmate went to Ms. Acheson and advised her to take graduation photos in advance, and she just agreed. She asked the students to meet in front of the teaching building on Wednesday afternoon. She contacted a photographer who would take photos for them then.

Sophia was shocked. Since they did that, she had to leave.

The photographer came on Wednesday afternoon, as promised. Ms. Acheson had a math class that afternoon. She then asked everyone to the front of the teaching building and lined them up, and invited all the teachers to take photos.

The geography teacher taught two classes and happened to have a class then. He changed the class with another teacher and arrived there on time.

The photographer wondered, "I usually take graduation photos in May or June, not before April at the earliest. Why do you take photos so early?"

Acheson explained to him that a student was admitted to the college in advance and might leave school early, so they just advanced the shooting.

The photographer thought about it and said, "The popular Sophia on the blog? Many people are talking on the Internet that Glinton admits Colin's Sophia in advance. They say she's just a legend… Is she in your class?"

As soon as he said that, Carol stared at him with a ferocious face. "You can't tell anyone, nor can you show others the photos, understand?"

The photographer looked at the girl's serious face and wondered whether he should cooperate with her to pretend to be scared.

"Don't worry." He said, "I am a professional photographer, and I will never give away my clients' privacy. When photos are printed out, I will delete them and never show them to any unrelated people."

After taking group photos, many students took photos with Sophia separately. The shooting lasted two classes. The Class after Mathematics was English, Acheson was not intended to take it, so she didn't talk about that with Schultz in advance.

While taking group photos, Schultz was there. She sat in the middle of the students and seemed quite happy, with a smile.

But when she heard that she couldn't attend this class, she was unhappy and required Acheson to repay her one class.

"Well, I'll take your class tomorrow morning," Schultz said with a firm tone.

Acheson shook her head, "No, I've told the class that I'll analyze the test paper tomorrow morning. I can't give the class to you."

"Then which class can you give me?"

"Why don't you ask another teacher for one? I think the politics teacher is very talkative."

The politics teacher who came for the shooting wondered, what was it with him? Why would they take his class?

He really felt like he had no place.

Cromwell smiled and said nothing on the side.

His PE classes had been taken after the first monthly examination, and he didn't say anything at all. Speaking of "place," no one had less of that than him.

What was more exaggerated was that one student suggested having a farewell dinner together.

Acheson actually thought about the proposal for a while and rejected it in the end.

Sophia had to tell them that even if she went to Glinton, she was not far from Colin and could visit the school often, and they had her phone number and could contact her anytime.
