Spurred on by Miller, the other teachers grew visibly displeased. This monthly exam was the last test before the college entrance exams, making it the most accurate indicator of a student's performance. The teachers had been thrilled to find three papers with perfect scores, thinking the overall results would be excellent. But as it turned out, all three papers belonged to Aurora Sterling, the school's acknowledged problem student. This stark contrast, combined with the feeling of being toyed with, left every teacher deeply uncomfortable.
Miller was particularly furious. She was the first to insist that Aurora Sterling had cheated. "We can't just let this go! We have to report this to the school administration. A student with such atrocious character as Aurora Sterling absolutely cannot be allowed to remain at our school!"
