Samantha had come straight home after the exam and never imagined she’d done so well that Mr. Chandler and Mr. Samson would show up at her house in person to retrieve her.

To be personally escorted back to school by Mr. Chandler himself–she couldn’t wait to stomp those gossiping classmates underfoot.

Helen, elated, clutched Samantha’s hand and explained enthusiastically, “There must be some misunderstanding. Why would we ever stop our child from going to school? We’re over the moon that she did so well!”

“Yes, yes, we couldn’t be happier,” Marshall chimed in, already picturing the Rivers family reaching new heights of prestige.

Chandler and Mr. Samson exchanged a puzzled look. Then what was that text message response they’d received?

Mr. Samson, who was not one for patience, stood up abruptly. “If that’s the case, let the student come with us now.”

Helen tugged Samantha up from the couch and all but pushed her toward him. “Sammy, go ahead and follow Mr. Chandler and the professor back to school. Study hard, and stop running home all the time.”

Samantha beamed with pride as she adjusted her clothes. Putting on an air of composure, she said, “I know, Mom. Don’t worry.” Then she shot a sideways glance at Sloane, full of smugness and superiority.

Sloane remained calm, only curling her lips faintly. She was waiting for the show to start.

Mr. Samson strode forward, still visibly anxious. But instead of stopping at Samantha, he brushed past her and stopped in front of Sloane. “Miss Sloane, what are you doing just standing there? Come with us, now!”

The entire Rivers family froze on the spot. The smile on Samantha’s face instantly cracked, her whole body stiffening as she stared at Mr. Samson in disbelief.

“Wait, aren’t you making a mistake? I’m the one who scored 745 on the exam. You… weren’t you looking for me?” Her voice quivered, her pride crumbling under a wave of dread.

Helen’s expression turned blank as she let go of Samantha’s hand. “Mr. Samson, wait… aren’t you here for Sammy?”

Mr. Samson glanced at Samantha with a frown, clearly irritated. “Who are you?”

Finished

Samantha’s face drained of all color, as if someone had just slapped her across the face in front of a crowd. Her lips trembled. “I… I’m a student at Stonebridge. Samantha.”

No… no, this has to be a mistake. Mr. Samson must’ve gotten the names wrong. They were clearly here for her.

Marshall, just as unwilling to accept the truth, tried to convince himself otherwise. “You must be mistaken. Sloane’s not even a Stonebridge student.”

Chandler stood and calmly clarified, “Miss Sloane scored 745 on the university’s special admissions exam. We’re here to bring her in to complete her enrollment.”

Mr. Samson grew even more agitated. “Sloane absolutely has to be enrolled in our school.”

A talent like her couldn’t be allowed to slip through their fingers–this was why he’d dragged Mr. Chandler along in such a hurry.

Marshall felt like he’d been struck by lightning. His face alternated between pale and flushed as the truth sank in.

Chandler watched the expressions on the Rivers couple’s faces and started forming a few theories of his own.
