Katherine stuck a QR code print-out onto the blackboard.
The students scanned the QR code and started donating. Some donated two hundred thousand, some five hundred thousand. The generous ones contributed a million bucks.
They had their hearts set on the reward for the highest contributor, as what Miss Katherina had said.
"How much did you donate?"
"Wow! Five hundred thousand."
"I'm not bad as well. I donated six hundred thousand."
Everyone was proud of themselves for donating. Katherine was right. The school's online platform had a list that showed which student contributed the most.
Everyone's eyes were glued to the list.
Suddenly, a student from another class donated a million and eight hundred thousand bucks.
"Look! Declan donated two million!" someone yelled.
The class was in an uproar. The list stated that Declan Noel from Class Sixteen was the current highest donor at two million.
All eyes were on Declan. Two million. This man had to be rich.
Katherine nodded in approval. This class did not disappoint her at all. Even though they were not overly passionate about their studies, they had a charitable heart.
Everyone praised Declan. He was proud as well. He dangled his phone in front of Darryl and said, "Look, Darryl, I donated two million. Weren’t you the one that said I couldn't afford it?"
At that, he lightly punched Darryl in the chest. "You lowly live-in son-in-law," he spat. "When you steal phones, don’t use me as an excuse. Isn't it pathetic?"
The other classmates chipped in.
