Alice said slowly.“I hadn’t thought when it carefully. I you witterty comenbeet”
Chloe was about to explode with frustration. She looked up at the hometom teacher with a girdid ergersion really didn’t chear! I turned around because I heard Lovey eating me, and the stugged the new sans say dose when I wasn’t paying attention. I had no idea!”
The homeroom teacher, who initially leaned towards Chloe, ad berwick but her falsely accvent of cheating before and started to doube Chloe’s character.
The teacher said, “Chloe, Lucy, you both need to come to my
office
Alice sat at her desk while everyone around her discussed the cheating incident. She opened her stabook to check her answers, wondering how many points she could score!
Not long after, the class monitor arrived. The teacher wants you in her office.”
Alice anticipated this. She went to the office but noticed Minion was missing but Noah was there. Of counc Chloe would bring in reinforcement. With red eyes, Chloe looked at her Alice, do you hate me that much? What do I have do for you to forgive me?
Alice answered calmly, I’m just stating what I saw. If I wanted to get you in trouble, I’d say I saw you cheat?”
Chloe’s face flushed.
Noah couldn’t take it anymore and scolded Alice “Speak properly‘ Chloe’s family. In situations like this, I thought you’d know what to do!”
Alice looked at him. “What do you want me to do, Noah? Say I saw nothing? Fine. I didn’t see Chloe turn around”
Noah felt a headache coming on; why couldn’t she understand his point?
The teacher coughed. “I understand the situation. Chloe, you were also wrong. Don’t let others do your homework, and don’t cheat during exams
Noah explained, Teacher, Chloe had someone else do her homework because family issues took up her time. I can vouch for that.” Helping a classmate with homework is a minor issue, especially since Chloe had her reasons.
Chloe looked particularly wronged:“Noah, I didn’t know Lucy was trying to frame me. I only mentioned that she borrowed my money, and I didn’t expect her to think like that.”
“Chloe, you’re kind and help others, but there are limits to kindness.” Noah believed she was framed.
The teacher said, “We’ll discuss how to handle this matter. You all can return to class for now.”
Alice turned to leave. Noah chased after her: Alice, how could you testify that you saw Chloe turn around? What
if the teacher really thinks she cheated and punishes her? Did you think about the consequences?” Alice stopped. “If Chloe cheated and blamed Lucy, did you think about Lucy’s consequences?”
“Impossible, Chloe wouldn’t do that. Noah immediately denied it.
Alice scoffed; there was no point in answering.
“Alice, I know you feel wronged and think we Favor Chloe. It’s because her father saved your life. Plus, she’s always been well–behaved, What’s wrong with us treating her a bit better? If you want to blame someone, blame me, don’t drag Chloe into this!”
Alice was speechless, her temples throbbing.
With a sarcastic smile, she said, “I blame myself, okay?” Blaming herself for being blind and not seeing through this so–called family bond sooner!
She stormed into the classroom. Noah stood outside, feeling helpless. He wanted to mend things with Alice, but she seemed to reject him at every turn! How could be make her understand that his strictness was because she was his real sister? But Chloe wasn’t, so he didn’t have high expectations for her. This wasn’t favoritism!
Chloe approached.“Noah, I’m sorry. Maybe I should move out, so Alice won’t be angry. I don’t want to see you two siblings‘ relationship suffer because of me.”
Noah forced a smile.“Don’t be silly, it’s not your fault. You’re my sister, always.”
Chloe smiled through her tears. “Then it’s a deal!”
Noah looked at Chloe, wishing Alice were as understanding as her. “Focus on your studies, don’t let others do your
homework.”
Chloe’s expression faltered.“I know I was wrong”
“As long as y
acknowledge your mistakes, that’s enough.” He was pleased with Chloe’s attitude and wished Alice could be the same.
Alice returned to her classroom, seeing Minion #I’s empty seat. But she felt no sympathy.
A few days later, the school announced the cheating incident, and Lucy received a warning. Chloe was also publicly reprimanded by the homeroom teacher. After the teacher finished, she pulled out the report cards:“The results are in, and I want to especially commend Alice for her significant improvement, ranking tenth in this exam. Everyone should learn from her; a final push can really boost your grades.”
The classroom erupted in chatter.
“Alice’s amazing at studying and gaming!”
“I want to go to the same university as her!”
“How does she manage to excel in both gaming and studying?”
Seeing her results, Alice smiled with satisfaction.
Did this mean she had a chance to get into Harvard University?
The homeroom teacher smiled at Alice: “Why don’t you share your tips for improvement so everyone can learn from you?” Alice had indeed performed well lately and had done great on the exam.
She stood up, feeling a bit nervous for the first time: “The reason I’ve improved so much is that I realized I need to live for myself, so I’ve been staying up late every night to practice problems.”
