PROBLEM XXXVII :ConnelDeveen
I should have clammy hands at the moment. Which I shockingly did not. I, Clover Lian had been called into the principal’s office for the first time during my entire education at LakeVille High. I knew what it was about. The tape.
But what was I to do? Cry in front of Mr. Boarman? The tape had not affected me as much as it would’ve affected any other girl. I stood strong by my beliefs. I had not done it. The words, I heard. But it was important to filter the words that I actually let get to me. It was important because if I had not done it, I would be a puddle of crying mess at the moment.
I knocked on the door, “Mr. Boarman, you called for me?”
“Ah yes, Miss Lian. Come on in and close the door. Take a seat.”
Take a seat, I did. I looked at him, knowing what this was about. “Clover,"0 Mr. Boarman sighed, “You are one of my most eligible students here, at LakeVille High.” And it starts.
I tuned him out. I didn’t need to listen to him speak about a silly sex tape some stupid person decided to spread about me. Yes, it was awful. But it wasn’t enough to get to me. And not gonna lie, it felt like an accomplishment to get this far without getting affected.
“Miss Lian,” Mr. Boarman called. I snapped my wandering attention back to him. He gave me a pointed look, which turned into a smile. “Are you ready for it?”
I gave a nervous laugh, “...Ready for what Sir?”
Mr. Boarman shook his head, muttering something under his breath. “For the quiz competition.”
“Sir—What? Quiz competition?” If had had expected anything, it wasn’t even close to this. “Y-Yes, of course. May I go?”
I sighed, getting out of the office. I was almost suffocated. It was a huge relief to know that I was not called in for the tape but for some stupid quiz competition. It was already lunch break so I headed over to the cafeteria and went straight to the popular table.
“Clo!” Greg and Grant scream and pulled me into a hug. A smile instantly lit on my face. “Hey guys.”
Greg wiggled his eyebrows, “So...Why did you get called?”
Grant smacked his twin on the back of his head and whispered something in his ear. Greg’s eyes widened and he instantly apologized to me. I gave him a soft smile and shook my head. “Surprisingly, it wasn’t about the tape.”
Everybody did a double take and looked at me with wide eyes, “It was not?”
I gave Greg a smug smile, “Princie said that I was one of his best students and he wants me to participate in this quiz competition on a national level.”
