“She does not cause trouble like you do. That is why I like her. She will not turn to unscrupulous ways to succeed or win.” Racheal added and that broke Ellie so much that she sobbed even more. Today was just a day she will never forget. The day her grandmother admitted her love for Elsa and compared her to sister.
What should she have expected?
It was clearly obvious from the beginning.
“So, sir, what is the next line of action to take?” Racheal asked as she breathed out deeply.
“It is either she gets expelled or suspended. But since she is new and this was her first time.” The vice principal said and turned to the principal.
“If it is so, then do it.” She sighed and sat down. Ellie looked at her with shock on her face.
Like did she just hear that?
Did her granny just told them to do that?
To expel her?
To suspend her?
Like really?
“G-grandmother..” Ellie stuttered. She choked on her saliva.
“We will suspend her since it was her first time.” The principal said and Ellie fell on her knees immediately.
“S-sir, M-ma’am… I… promise not to do it again. Please don’t … don’t suspend me. I can’t really be suspended.. granny… please sir.. have a rethink…” Ellie pleaded as tears fell down her eyes. She really can’t get suspended. No!.
The principal and his vice looked at her. She looked pitiful. They even doubt that she will do something like that. But there was evidence, it was found with her. They had no choice.
“You know what?” Mrs. Elite, the vice principal spoke up. Everyone turned towards her.
“I think instead of us suspending her, we should set new examinations questions for her. And also, she will be the only one in the place. She will be under super tight supervision.” She suggested.
“Okay. I think that will do.” The principal agreed after he thought about it for a while.
Ellie hearing this smiled sadly and said, “Thank you so much sir. Thank you so much, ma’am. I really appreciate.” She said, bowing several times.
“It is okay. You can rise. We don’t do this when it comes to cheating or examination malpractice. But because you are a new student, and we will like to create a good impression on people. So if you think you can do this next time and you will go scot-free. You are lying to yourself.” The principal said.
“Thank you so much again. I really appreciate.” Ellie said and stood up.
Racheal turned towards her and said, “This is what you get for cheating.”
Ellie scoffed internally and ignored her.
“Thank you so much, sir. I really appreciate it.” Racheal said with a little smile.
“You are welcome, Ma’am. And also thanks for your time. You can take your leave.” Mrs. Elite said. Racheal stood up and carried her bag. She side glanced at Ellie and snorted.
“You can go back to your dorm. A new time table will set for you. A student will be sent you tomorrow.” The principal said. Ellie bowed and smiled a little. She wiped her face properly and left the office. She saw her granny smiling at Elsa. Her ideal granddaughter. She scoffed.
“Ellie.” Jake called out as he walked towards her. She took her gaze away from them and looked at Jake.
“Thank you.” Were the first words she uttered to him. He smiled a little and spread his arms. She hugged him.
“So, what happened?” He asked.
“I am not getting suspended. Just that I will be a special student.” She said and pulled away from him.
“Special student?” He asked with an eyebrow raised.
“Yeah. I will be given new time table and I will write my exams in one room with super tight supervision.” She said and sighed.
“Oh my bad but what was that paper doing your answer sheet?” He wondered.
“I also don’t know. Maybe Mrs. Ann had been the one to put there and she forgot to take it away because I definitely did not put that paper there.” She said.
“Anyways, things have been cleared now so…” she trailed off as she saw her granny again.
“What about we go to the café for some lunch?” Jake asked. She nodded her head in agreement. He held her hands and pulled her. She passed by her sister and granny without looking at them.
“Ellie.” Racheal called her but she turned deaf ears towards her.
“I need to eat and rest, please let us walk faster.” She said to Jake and they hurried down the corridor.
“What happened is just affecting her. She will calm down sooner or later.” Elsa said to her granny. Racheal nodded her head.
“Hopefully.” She muttered.
“It’s evening already. You should hurry back home.” Elsa urged her granny.
“Okay. I will leave now but remember to always look after yourself.” Racheal said and Elsa nodded. They both walked out of the block. Elsa waved at her. She sighed and turned on her heels.
“Now to go read for tomorrow’s paper.” She thought and walked towards the library.

“I am so stupid. How could I have mixed up the name?. Gosh, names!!” Shawna said with clenched teeth and squeezed her fingers together like she wanted to strangle someone.
“It was supposed to be her paper, right?” She asked as she gripped her hair tightly.
“She just always get away with everything everytime. Anytime I am this close to getting revenge for what she did to me, she…. Haaaa!!.” She seethed. Beads of sweats dripped down her face as she dabbed them off angrily.
“But then I don’t think it is bad anyways.” She said and smirked. She sighed deeply and closed her eyes.
“I think it is bad.” She heard a voice say from behind her. Her eyes went wide open and she stiffened immediately. She turned around and saw the person with a sad smile.
“How could you?”
