you didn't pass one of her tests because you couldn't study, not because of lack of time but because you ended up getting into an accident and Miss Circle knew that after all she is your mother and you are nervous and afraid that she will do something to you

she hands you the test and looks at you, her face is neutral and she says

Miss circle: it's ok...I'm not going to do anything she says in a calm tone

Miss circle: I'll help you study when we get home she says this quietly in your ear and then delivers the test notes again
