Clara was starting to panic. "Hold on, let me check with Mr. Coleman first…"
Clara was about to seek Harvey out when Yolanda abruptly rose from her seat. Yolanda looked at Tina and asked, "Your name is Tina, right? Do you want to make a bet with me?"
"A bet?" Tina scoffed. "Why would I bother betting with someone like you?"
"I know you're against me being in Class A because of my poor grades. But what if I ace the entrance exam and come out on top of the entire grade? What will you have to say then?"
"Top of the grade? You?" Tina's face revealed her disbelief at Yolanda's bold claim.
The other students couldn't help but look at Yolanda with disdain. "You, a junior high school dropout, dare to say you're going to be at the top of the grade at First Academy? Who are you trying to fool?"
Naturally, Clara wasn't buying Yolanda's claims either.
"I'll need to talk this over with Mr. Coleman before we proceed, Yolanda. For now, please sit down," she said, glaring at her.
Yolanda glanced at Clara apathetically before continuing, "Should I fail to secure first place, I'll leave the school. However, if I do come out on top, Tina, you'll be my underling and have to obey my orders until you graduate from First Academy."
With that, she looked at Tina with a provocative smile. "Well, what do you think? Are you game for a bet or not?"
"Of course I am!" Tina was enraged by Yolanda's nonchalant demeanor. If she didn't dare to accept such a sure-win bet, she wouldn't be able to hold her head up in front of her classmates.
"I'm game for the bet!" Tina pondered for a moment before adding a twist, "But if you don't come out on top, you'll have to get on your knees and apologize to everyone in Class A. After all, every second you've spent here before the test has been a blight on our class."
