Corinne glanced at Josephine, who looked as smug as her mother down the stage.
"Yes, you both got perfect scores. You were fast asleep when the result was announced," said the host.
Corinne yawned and uttered lightly, "That's impossible."
The reporters and camera people all looked at her with disbelief.
"What does she mean? That she got a perfect score, or that Josephine got a perfect score?"
"It's the latter, duh! Miss Corinne must've expected Miss Josephine to have forgotten all the things she learned in high school. Miss Josephine getting a perfect score so effortlessly was out of her expectation."
"That makes sense. Miss Corinne is just too cocky for her good."
The discussion kept going on off the stage.
"Miss Corinne, let me explain," said the host. "After you both handed in the test paper, the teacher came up to the stage to mark them. Once he was done marking, the result was shown to everyone here and the people watching the live broadcast. There was no objection raised.
"Which brings us to now. Miss Josephine thinks she should be crowned the winner since she was the first to hand in her test paper. We'd like to hear if you have anything to say about that."
Corinne covered her mouth and yawned lazily. "Just because she handed in the paper first doesn't mean she's smarter than me. I mean, I've never heard of bonus marks being given for the person handing in their test paper first."
"Even without the extra marks given for handing in her test paper first, we still think Miss Josephine is smarter than you!" shouted a reporter.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
