On the day everyone reported back, there were no changes in the class membership; after all, no one had moved up to the advanced class.
Gathered together, they all discussed how they spent their winter break and the plethora of delicious food they ate.
Listening to what they said and then looking at their significant dark circles, all I wanted to say was how fake they sounded, as if they hadn't studied at all at home.
Please, get rid of those glaring dark circles first; then maybe people would believe you.
"By the way, Song Lei, what did you do over the holiday?" My deskmate, as expected, pried for news again.
"Winter break? Oh, I took extra classes at home."
"After all, my grades are poor; I studied even on New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year."
Honesty is my main game—I don't mess around. "I was even thinking that with all my hard work, I didn't know whether I could still get a good grade."
