The Nerd's Scheme

Chapter 33

Khloe

"Alright everyone. Pass your papers. " The professor said. Kanina pa ako nakapagpasa dahil maaga akong natapos. It was a 50 items chapter test.

"Did you get the answer in number 42? " Xavier asked when he sat next to me. I nodded at him.

"Bakit kasi nakalimutan ko? " He groaned and slammed his back on his seat. Yup, he's back. Everyone cheered for him when he came back and of course it surprised him. According to our classmates, tapos na raw ang pagiging pabida ko. Tss.

Nag-aayos ng gamit ang Prof namin nang may biglang kumatok. It was one of our instructors.

"Excuse me, Ma'am. May I talk to the students? "

"Yes, sure. Paalis na rin ako. " She smiled and fixed her glasses.

"I received a report from one of my students. Narito raw sa section nyo ang nag-leak ng sagot sa chapter test noong nakaraang araw. " Saad ni Ma'am Ortiz.

Natahimik ang lahat sa sinabi nya. Maging si Prof Martinez ay napahinto sa ginagawa.

Iginala ni Ms. Ortiz ang mata at huminto iyon sa akin. The heck? Is she... accusing me?

In my peripheral vision, I saw everyone looked at my way. What? Damn!

"What are you talking about Ms. Ortiz? " Prof Martinez asked.

"May naglabas po ng sagot sa test mula sa section na ito. " She angrily said. "And I will do everything to punish that student!" Mariin ang tingin na bumaling ito sa akin.

"Where did you get the answer key Miss De Vera? "

Kumuyom ang kamao ko. Everyone is looking at me like I'm the real culprit. Shit. Why would I even do that? Even if I had the answer key, I wouldn't share it to them. Pakelam ko ba kung bumagsak sila? They treat me as their enemy so why would I put myself on a thin ice just to help them?

"I don't think that's true. " Drew broke the silence. He crossed his arms and gave the instructor a bored look.

"Pardon Mr. Drew? "

"I said that ain't true because if it is, hindi sana ako bagsak sa test na yan. " He explained.

"At paano mo nalaman na bagsak ka? Hindi ko pa nire-release ang papel nyo. " Hamon ni Ms. Ortiz.

Drew rolled his eyes. "Ms. Ortiz, I only answered half of it. Hindi pa ako sigurado kung tama lahat yung na sagutan ko. The only way for me to pass that test is if you lowered the passing score. "

Ms. Ortiz just glared at him. "I'm not playing here Mr. Drew. This is a serious matter! "

"Of course it is because you're accusing me. " I interrupted. Lumipad ang tingin sa akin ng lahat.

"You were the one who leaked it! "

"That's enough Ms. Ortiz. Why are you accusing her? Hindi ganyan si Khloe. " Pagtatanggol ni Prof Martinez sa akin.

"No Ma'am. Siya ang tinuturo ng source ko. " Pagpupumulit ni Ms. Ortiz.

"Why don't you introduce your source Ms. Ortiz? Because I don't think Miss De Vera will do that? "

Ms. Ortiz gritted her teeth. Seryoso na rin ang mukha ni Prof Martinez.

"Excuse me. Hindi rin po ako naniniwala na magagawa ni Khloe iyon. " Si Xavier na nagtaas ng kamay.

Connie raised her hand. "Yup! Same here. "

Nina held her hand and put it down. She said something to Connie that made her shut and groaned.
