Dr Robert Cross said, “I will announce the overall best student of the year, now.”
The hall went ghost-silent immediately.
As he was about calling the winner and the student who would go home with the award, Juliet’s heart throbbed. She looked around again, this time around she said words of prayer.

She then stood up and walked down the aisle, towards Dr Cross. She looked at him and smiled, knowing fully well that she had deserved to get the scholarship.
