For The Stars Have Sinned (Complete)

Chapter 22

Another victim

The next morning, Lyndon drove me back to Arbor before he'd gone home to Baclayan as what he said last night. I didn't waste time and immediately prepared myself to school and let Gerard drove me to Argao where the campus is.

And now, I was scorning while staring at my test papers. The result of the exam came out and I was not satisfied with it.

Where did I go wrong? Is there a number I didn't answer? Or are there instructions I didn't follow in the test? I sighed. I did everything but why?

Reun, my seatmate, came up to me and looked at the paper I was holding. "Oh. Just one more point and you'll pass, Larica," he said when he saw my score. I became more depressed.

Yep. It would have been just one more point but it hasn't been given to me. Annoying! I looked at Reun badly. "Tell me, who checked it?"

"Block D maybe."

"Block D?" I frowned. My eyes squinted and I gasped. "I should ask the one who corrected it!" I yelled and even raised the examination paper.

"Hey, what's your plan? You might be embarrassed. Just review your answers. Here is Nemero's paper. He perfected Fluid Mechanics."

I raised my brow. "Perfect score?" I quickly picked up the paper he was holding and looked at the score. My vision got darker. Where did Nemero get his answer?

Reun laughed. "Isn't because of Vine you stay up late and didn't study for exams?"

I frowned. I didn't want to blame Vine so I blame myself because I didn't study harder. I reviewed the wrong answer and there was nothing wrong with it. And my score was still seventy-four over a hundred.

I grumpily returned the paper to Reun and dejectedly sat back in my chair. What now? This was a final paper that I need to pass! I looked at the wall clock and sighed, knowing that five more minutes and it's break-time. I planned to visit my Prof at the Faculty to ask for pardon.

In the end, I went to the Faculty alone. I walked into the building and went to his desk only to halt when I saw Jamaica also talking to Prof. Huh. What was she doing here? It looked like there's a problem with her score too, eh? I secretly rejoiced at her misfortune but upon remembering my reason why am seeking Prof, I pouted and looked away.

It's not right to laugh at others when I myself got the same problem too. It's like slapping myself twice.

I just waited for Jamaica to finish. When she stood and turned around to leave, our eyes met. She sneered at me before I could speak. Uh. That's rude. I just ignored her and walked closer to Prof.

I just explained to him and asked for a chance. In the end, he gave me a special task. I am supposed to go to the Education building and sit in for a day in the BSED Science lecture. I will take a quiz and if I pass he will give me a chance. He even joked that if I got two points short of my score, he would not give me that task and let me fail in his subject.

Well, not a good joke.

I was thankful to his consideration but the problem? It was Jamaica's class.

Whatever. If Jamaica would insist to seek trouble with me, there's no way that I won't retaliate.

"What did he instruct you to do?"

I cussed and clutched my chest. I looked at Jamaica in surprise. She was standing by the door of the Faculty and I was sure she waited for me. I frowned. "Are you looking for trouble?" I asked and passed her by.

She raised her eyebrows and followed me. "I heard you asking for a chance. That man is hard to please so what did he instruct you to do?" she asked again.
