Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 158

Juniper worked with incredible speed. She would glance at a question and immediately start writing the answer. In less than ten minutes, the left side of her literature answer sheet was nearly full, her handwriting neat and elegant with a touch of classic flair.

“She certainly writes fast,” one teacher whispered, covering her mouth. “But who knows how many of her answers are correct.”

“So far, all the multiple-choice questions are right,” the literature teacher noted, her brow furrowed in concentration. “I haven’t had a chance to check the answers for the long-form questions yet.” But to finish all the multiple-choice questions in just a few minutes, and get them all right… even she couldn’t do that.

Just as the teachers were puzzling over this, Juniper, halfway through the literature exam, suddenly stopped writing and looked up. “Excuse me, sir—”

Her sudden voice startled the teachers out of their reverie, especially the Dean. “What is it?” he asked, standing up and looking at her with a frown. Surely she wasn’t giving up already?

“May I have some water?” Juniper asked, licking her dry lips. She really wanted some candy, but that would be rude during an exam. Water would have to do to calm her restless mind.

Water? Now of all times? Wasn’t she worried about running out of time?

“Y-yes, you can,” the Dean stammered, completely thrown by her request.

“Thank you,” Juniper said with a polite nod. She unzipped her backpack and took out a pink water bottle. She unhurriedly unscrewed the cap and took several long gulps before placing the bottle on the corner of her desk, within easy reach.

The teachers stared. Why wasn’t she panicking? They were panicking for her!

After her drink, Juniper set the literature paper aside and started on the math exam.
