Corinne looked at Josephine from head to toe. "I'm sure taking a test is no more tiring than working on the farm the whole," she said sarcastically.
"She's mentally tired, not physically tired," retorted Josephine's mother.
"It won't take up much of her brain power since only the numbers have changed. The retest should be easy-peasy for her," said Corinne.
Josephine's mother wanted to argue back again, but the reporters and camera people kept encouraging Josephine to do a retest. Even the commenters were in support of the retest. They wanted to see Corinne admit defeat.
Thus, Josephine and her mother were at a loss for what to do.
The response from the audience was so enthusiastic that the host knew it would be impossible to get out of a retest. "Since everyone agrees to the retest, let's ask the teacher to come up to the stage once more to change the numbers on the test paper. Then, we'll print out the new copy for Miss Corinne and Miss Josephine!"
Josephine's mother tensed up when she heard the host announce the retest while Josephine was close to having a meltdown. "Mom, what should we do? I don't know how to answer those questions at all…" she whispered hurriedly.
Her mother glared at her. "Didn't you memorize all the answers already? You just have to use the same formula to get the answer. You're more stupid than I thought if you can't answer the questions just because the numbers have changed!"
"Mom, I can't do it." Josephine was not the smartest cookie in the first place. It took her a lot of effort to simply memorize the test answer to the point where there was no time left to memorize the formula at all.
Her mother was about to talk strategy with her when the host rushed over to them. "I'm sorry, Missus Clark, but you'll need to get off the stage because Josephine needs to get ready for the retest."
Thus, she had no choice but to get off the stage, praying Josephine would work hard to get another perfect score.

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...
