Time licked away, and the deadline for the test rolled around Rosie, however, seemed far from done.
In the interest of fairness, the host walked over to inform her that time was up and she needed to turn in her paper.
Rosie left with no other choice, handed over her unfinished test paper to the host and anxiously looked down at her mom in the audience.
Once he got the papers, the host called over the teacher to grade them live.
It didnât take long for the scores to come out.
The host stared at the scores with a look of disbelief on his face.
He then announced the scores to the media and the viewers tuning in.
âApologies for keeping you all waiting, folks! Weâve got the scores for Ellinor and Rosieâs retake Just like before, Ellinor aced the test with a perfect score.
Rosie, on the other hand, left three big questions blank and only managed to rack up a total of 2 points from a true or false question.â
The room erupted in chatter at the hostâs announcement.
âJust 2 points for Rosie? Howâs that even possible?â
âDidnât you hear the host? She didnât even finish the test and left three big questions blank.â
âBut even if she left three questions blank, she shouldnât only have 2 points! She scored perfectly last time; how could she fail just because the numbers changed?â
âThe one she got right was a true or false question, maybe she just guessed correctly. So basically, she didnât earn even those 2 points?â
âHow did she score perfectly in the first place?â
âIâm having a hard time wrapping my head around this.â
Rosie hung her head, avoiding the media and the cameras.
She had given it her all, yet she didnât get a single question right. This was a major screw-up.
Who wouldâve thought that Ellinor would request a retake?
Down below, Rosieâs mom was under siege from the media.
âRosieâs mom, your daughter only scored 2 points in the retake; how do you feel about that?â
âYou said your daughter was a star student, but she failed as soon as the questions changed?â
âDid you fabricate your accusations against Ellinor? Did Rosie really get accepted into Creston University?â
Facing these pointed questions, the middle-aged woman wanted nothing more than to get Rosie out of this mess. But they were surrounded by the media, with no exit in sight. All she could do was stubbornly insist, âDidnât I just say that Rosie was exhausted? She canât perform when sheâs this tired!â
The media was clearly not convinced by this vague explanation.
âEven if sheâs tired, she canât just score 2 points, right? She scored perfectly the first time, even if she answered randomly, she wouldnât score just 2 points!â
âExcuse me, did your daughter cheat on the first test?â
âIf your daughter isnât the high achiever you claim she is, does it mean that Ellinor didnât steal your daughterâs spot and actually earned her place at Creston University through her own hard work?â
