I love you, hang ups and all.

TWENTY-EIGHT

>> GUN POV >>

New and I were felt relieved after our Science exams as the test was similiar to the one Papi made for us. We were alreaedy excited for the party, which P'Tay and New are no longer going to barge in. They said that they'lljust hang out somewhere. Still, they made sure that we would call them if anything came up or if the party ends as they would still pick us up.

All the attendees were excited for the upcoming party. Still, New and I had to catch up as our science teacher called us to meet him right after class.

So there we were in the faculty room standing infront our teacher. We noticed that our papers were on top of his desk.

"I know you two are one of the students with the lowest science courses but then. I appreciate that you want to get higher scores but I don't approve of cheating. Now what do you two have to say for yourselves?" He pointed out.

"We are with you on that, Sir. We also don't like cheating."  New said and I seconded.

"If you are agreeing then what do you suggest we do to people who are cheating?" he asked.

"I believe that there are sanctions on the student handbook but I haven't memorized it yet." I said.

"As per the student handbook, suspension would be given. Also, any suspension would mean that we have to talk to your parents." he said.

"Sir, we appreciate you refreshing our knowledge on the student handbook but why would you need to speak with our parents?" I asked as I was compeletely confused.

"Sir, are you telling us that we cheated on your exams?" New bluntly asked.

"Why don't you two come clean and admit to cheating?" Our teacher demanded.

Just then Papi entered the faculty and  smiled when he saw us. Shia! Is he not aware of situation? We watched him as he joined us but faced our teacher.

"Mr. Adulkittiporn, I know you're quite busy but could we talk in a bit." our science teacher greeted him.

"Sorry but I am rather busy and I'm just squeezing this discussion in between my schedule." Papi said as if he was talking to a subordinate and not to a teacher.

"Well, we were hoping you can decorate the school wall as a student. We believe it would highlight your talent." our teacher said.

"That is an interesting offer but the last time I made an  installation art requested by my class advisor you told me that it was too dark and an extreme depiction of reality. I believe you even told me that my works would never be at par with any street artist. I might have to reject the offer right now." he said. 

"Why don't you sleep on it, Mr. Adulkittiporn. I must say that at time I was not as open minded as right now." he said trying to butter up to Papi.

"As you're saying it like that then I'll give it some more thought." Papi nodded then said, "Apologies for taking time off your fine students."

"Sad to say that they're fine good cheaters." our teacher scoffed.

"Cheaters? Aren't you jumping to conclusion like how you did with my art before?" Papi asked.

"No, why don't you look at their test papers. They relatively have the same way of answering the test and giving the same key phrases." Our teacher handed him the test paper.

Papi quickly read through the papers and turned to New and I. He asked us a couple of questions the way he did last night. After each question, he reminded us where we went wrong and why. All the time, our teacher was watchign our interaction.
