The Shadow of SAT Exam

3

After I died, my soul was trapped beside Lisa.

I was surprised to find that Lisa seemed to have a system that could help her stop time...

"Kathy, are you in there? Dad is back, come and have dinner."

Lisa's voice sounded outside the door.

I thought, "Do you deserve to call my father dad?"

I tried to suppress the anger in my heart and forced a smile.

"I'm coming."

Seeing me open the door, Lisa seemed a little surprised.

"What? Are you not going?"

Lisa hurriedly replied, "Ah, I just didn't expect you to..."

I smiled softly and said, "Well, I think what Mia said makes sense. I shouldn't hold a grudge against my father."

After saying that, I went straight downstairs.

"Well, Kathy, you're here too."

Mia seemed a little surprised to see me.

My dad also turned his eyes away from the newspaper and looked at me.

He smiled faintly.

I sat opposite my father, supported my face with my hands, and stared at Mia.

"What? Don't you welcome me?"

Mia paused while placing the tableware, and said hurriedly, "How could that be? I'm so happy that you're here."

"Oh? Then why are there only three sets of tableware?"

I pointed at the tableware in front of me.

"Ah, I am old and my memory is not good."

As she said that, she hurried towards the kitchen.

...

"Dad, try this."

Lisa diligently asked my dad to try the fish.

My father didn't say anything but just moved the fish aside, picked up a chicken wing, and put it on my plate.

"The college entrance examination is coming, eat more."

His serious tone sounded concerned.

I suppressed my excitement and said, "Okay, I understand."

Seeing this, Lisa couldn't help but say, "Dad! I've made a lot of progress recently! I'll soon be able to catch up with Kathy."

My father was a little surprised, after all, he knew that Lisa's study was not good.

But he didn't say anything, just nodded and replied calmly, "Okay."

The obvious contrast made Lisa look gloomy.

"System! When can I kill this old man?"

Lisa's vicious words echoed in my mind. What did that mean?

I suddenly looked up at Lisa.

"I told you it will only happen when you completely defeat Kathy. She is the luckiest person in this world."

A mechanical voice sounded, and it seemed to be the system that Lisa mentioned.

"When can I increase the stagnation time? I only have one hour left now, and I don't want to use it!"

Lisa's tone sounded dissatisfied and resentful.

"I told you, if you make Kathy jealous of you, her luck will decline and then transfer to you."

"Okay, I understand."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but get excited.

I said in my heart, "Lisa, what else can you do? I am looking forward to it."

Suddenly a scream was heard in the silent classroom.

"Lisa! Is this the note that Edison gave you? No wonder you have made such rapid progress recently!"

Lisa replied shyly, "Yes, it was given to me by Edison."

I knew without looking that it was Lisa and her flatterer Sofia, who were speaking.

"System, how is it? Is Kathy jealous?"

"No."

I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Was this Lisa's method?

The breaks between classes in our grade were extremely quiet. Students were either reviewing or catching up on sleep.

My laughter seemed particularly abrupt.

Sofia rushed to me angrily and said, "Kathy, what do you mean?"

I suppressed the smile on my face, leaned back against the table, and folded my arms.

"What's wrong? Can't laugh?"

Sofia said angrily.

"Come on, you must be jealous that Lisa has Edison's notes..."

I nodded indifferently and said, "Yeah, you're right!"

"You!" Sofia pointed at me angrily.

The students around looked over here.

Seeing that something was wrong, Lisa hurried over.

"Okay, Sofia, stop it, let's go review!"

Sofia saw Lisa coming, thought for a while, and asked.

"Kathy, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

"What bet?"

Sofia pointed at Lisa.

"Bet on who gets the higher score between you and Lisa in the third practice test."

I nodded and said, "Okay, I bet on Lisa."

"What?" Sofia's smug smile froze instantly.

Lisa was also shocked by what I said.

I smiled slightly, revealing my perfect teeth.

"Yes, I bet on Lisa, is there any problem?"

To let Lisa win, should I be jealous of her?

But what was there about her that made me jealous?

Should I be jealous that she was shameless?

"Kathy is jealous, and the stagnation time increases by ten minutes."

The familiar mechanical sound sounded again.

Lisa couldn't suppress her joy and kept smiling.

"Okay, Sofia, stop making trouble, let's go."

After getting what she wanted, Lisa considerately pulled Sofia back to her seat.
