"She probably practiced at home," said another. "This isn't fair! We want a rematch!"
But Aurora didn't panic.
She stayed calm and stood up. "I didn't cheat," she said clearly. "If anyone wants, I can explain every line of my code."
The room went silent.
A few students crossed their arms and challenged her. "Then go ahead. Explain the logic."
Aurora nodded and walked over to the projector. She started explaining her project, step by step. She didn't just describe what she had written—she explained why she wrote it, how it worked, and what each part of the code was supposed to do.
Some students even tried to interrupt her and ask random questions to catch her off guard. But Aurora answered everything without a pause. It was like she had the whole project inside her head from the very start.
By the time she finished, the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Even the students who doubted her were now staring at her with wide eyes.
