The moment we reached school, I opened my bag to grab my assignment. I didn't take it out for anyone to see, I just kept my hand on it to quickly take it out in need.
"Why do I have to go through all this? Fuck this shit."
As I reached my classroom I saw that the first class was about to start. It was biology class, specifically a lab class. We were taught complex biology with medical science as well. Each student in the class was competent enough to help in a minor surgery and some were even competent enough to perform themselves.
This was my chance, I quickly slid away from other students who were going to change into their lab clothes. I kept a water bottle in my hand just as a cover up if needed and my bag contained the assignment.
I cautiously reached the faculty room. I am sure I wasn't caught by any cameras but I would be doomed if there were any hidden cameras. I tried not to think about it and tried to be optimistic. Faculty room had only one teacher, so in order to go past him I confronted him.
"Sir? Do you know where Mr. Smith is ?"
"Oh, he ? h-he was called. There seemed to be an issue with the assignments so he was called..." he said stuttering.
"Called? By whom ? where? And assignments? I mean I don't see any here. What a waste"
Mr. Lee seemed a bit shaken so I tried to press on it. People's will is the weakest when they fear something, and it's easy to gather information if you know the correct methods.
"Hey, teach? Can I ask you something ?" I said, putting emphasis on my words.
"Huh? What is it ? you can ask anything?" It seemed to lighten his mood."Bingo"
"Forgive me if I am intruding too much but what do you think of Mr. Smith ?" a polite and earnest question. He can't say anything wrong about him even if he feels that way. This way I can lead the conversation to the conclusion I want.
"It's an odd question coming from a student ? Well, h-he is a good man, I guess ? honestly we haven't talked much but I think others do trust him?"He was easier to read than others. He doesn't like Mr. Smith. It wasn't that he was difficult to talk to, it was just they both didn't try talking to each other. The thing I am more curious about is his opinion about trust. What has happened that made him say that maybe others trust Mr. Smith more ?
"Huh? I thought you both were really good friends. Earlier you said he was called. There was a tint of worry in your eyes for him. Everything good, teach ?"
I deliberately made a false statement about him being worried, he was more scared than worried. Maybe his respon-
"Worried ? me ? no no, you have mistaken Reo. We aren't even close to worrying about each other. Mr. Smith deserved what he was called for anyway"
Everything has been working just as I expected, now I can finally ask the main point of me being here."Ah, I see now. Well maybe sometimes two good people can't work with each other. Also, you said something about the assignments ? Do you know where it is ?"
Wait for it....
"Good people ? haha, nice one Reo, but none of us are good." He said in a condescending tone. "We just don't go well together. Right now he was called because of some missing assignments."
"You were the one who hid those assignments, right ?" an absolute statement, If reported of false statements I can even be expelled but I know I wont be.Mr.Lee froze for a moment and looked at me with pure disgust. About 10 seconds later he laughed.
"Where did you see me doing such a thing Reo?"
His demeanour suggested that he has given up. So I tried to use this information for myself. I don't wanna roam around to find the missing assignments.
