The invigilator groaned.“Outside? But what about the exam and the students—?” He asked but the principal cut him off.“Don’t worry about them. They know well enough to coordinate themselves during important situations like these, isn’t that right?” The principal looked at the students and asked.None of them gave a reply or behaved like he just talked to them.The principal looked back at the invigilator, saying “See? If they weren’t focused on their exam then they would have made a mistake and answered”The invigilator looked at the students and grimaced.“I guess that makes sense”The principal placed his hand on the invigilator’s shoulder, prompting the man to look at him“Besides, we’ll just be a few feet outside the hall so you’ll be able to hear and notice if they try something funny,” the principal said.The invigilator sighed in concession and the principal who had gotten what he wanted dropped his hand from his shoulder.The invigilator looked at the students and said “I’ll
After hearing what Alexander just said, the invigilator was left speechless for a few seconds.He tried processing the statement and it was just so incredibly ridiculous that he couldn’t help himself but laugh.Alexander and the principal looked at each other skeptically for a moment then they looked at the laughing man.“What’s so funny, Mr. Dax?” The principal asked.“My apologies for laughing, Principal. I was just thinking about what—“ the invigilator said and then paused.He looked at Alexander and continued “Hmm, I just realized that I don’t even know your name”“Principal Dave had said it some moments ago but since it looks like you weren’t listening, I guess I’ll have to repeat it. My name is Alexander. Alexander Curry” Alexander said.“Thank you. Anyway, I was just thinking about what you said and I couldn’t help myself but find it funny how casually you said something so impossible.”The principal who shared a similar sentiment with the invigilator was quiet. He also wondere
The invigilator walked into the exam hall and the first thing he did was check if there was any student who had taken advantage of his absence and was cheating.Unfortunately, he didn’t see any such students as none of them were stupid enough to be cheating so blatantly that he would be able to catch them with just a simple scan across the room.‘Looks like the principal was right about them being good students. Good,’ the invigilator thought as he got to his desk and stared at the students.He looked to the left where the doorway was and saw Alexander entering the hall and walking towards him.Immediately after Alexander made his entrance, all the students stopped what they were doing, froze, and looked at him. They also started murmuring and gossiping about Alexander in low volume.“I always knew he was handsome and hot but seeing him this close is a completely different story,” one female student said.“How dreamy. I wish he was all mine” another female student, whose cheeks were
The invigilator returned to the front of the hall and dropped what he carried beside his desk.Alexander looked at the man with a confused grimace that was caused by how ridiculous he found the man’s antics.Who in their right mind would go and carry a desk from the back of the hall by themselves and keep it next to their desk so they could keep an eye on someone? “There you go. Sit down and get ready to start the exam” Alexander groaned and then he did as told.Once the young multimillionaire was sitting like he was supposed to, the invigilator smirked and then went to sit on his chair next to Alexander. He checked the time on his wristwatch and when the time for the end of the current exam reached, he told the students to stop writing and submit their papers.One by one, they all stood from their chairs and went to submit their papers on the invigilator’s desk while also carrying the envelope of the next exam that the man had brought out of his bag and kept on his desk for them.
“Is he seriously writing on the answer script without looking at the question paper?” One of the students asked.“Does he not know what to answer and is just writing random things on his answer script as a way to buy the time? If that’s the case then does it mean that he plans to change his answer script with one that has already been filled with all the right answers?” Another student said.Many of the students thought that Alexander was going to switch the answer script he was writing with one that had the correct answers and they started looking at the invigilator, who was the only one who could allow that to happen, with suspicion.“I thought he was strict and a person with a lot of integrity, but to think that he would allow something like that to happen when he’s been hounding us about hating malpractice. What a shame” Another student said.“Wait, didn’t the principal come and take him outside the hall then both he and that rich guy came back not long after? Does that mean that
Finally, the invigilator realized the truth about Alexander which made him act so confident and somewhat even cocky about the exam.Having a picture-perfect memory meant that his IQ was really high which made being able to spit out answers to any question the exam had to offer very easy, as long as he had studied well enough.The invigilator noticed the incredible pace at which Alexander was writing and his eyes widened.‘If he keeps going like this, he might actually be able to answer all these questions within the time he has left’ the invigilator thought.Just then, the murmurs that the other students were making started to irritate the invigilator because he now knew the truth about Alexander.He quickly turned to them and said “No noise! Focus on the questions in front of you instead of making useless side comments and assumptions” The students all did as told and started taking their exams seriously. The invigilator turned to Alexander who had finished answering the first sect
Just as Alexander stepped outside the hall, he scanned the area for Blessing and saw her standing in the distance.He also saw some students talking to her but from how bashful and uncomfortable she looked, he could tell that the conversation being had was something she didn’t want to talk about. “Hey, Ble—“ Alexander called out, raising his hand to get her attention but was interrupted.“Alexander”Alexander stopped and groaned after hearing his name.He turned in the direction he had heard the voice come from, already knowing who it was because he recognized the voice. After all, it hadn’t been more than an hour since he last heard it.“Princess” Alexander said after looking at her from head to toe, wondering what she wanted. She was leaning on the wall of the exam hall, legs crossed and arms behind her back.“So you remembered my name after hearing me tell it to the invigilator” she smiled.“I have a really good memory so remembering wasn’t a challenge. Also, it’s an easy name to
“I’m really fast at writing and I have a really good memory like you’ve already assumed yourself,” Alexander said and Princess’s excited expression dampened.“What?” She said.“That’s it. Those two things are what allowed me to do what’s making all your friends spread false rumors about me” Alexander saw that the girl didn’t believe anything he just said, so he sighed exasperatedly.“I guess I’ll have to give more details since what I just said didn’t do it for you,” he said.“Please do because while I’m sure you’re not trying to deceive and make me fool like an idiot, it still feels like you’re disingenuously giving bad answers to what I asked”Alexander rubbed his chin, realizing why she would think that.“I don’t like other people getting all up in my affairs, so I guess I’m used to doing that, but I’m going to lay the truth out now in as much detail as is relevant, so listen well and tell the others so that they stop their rumors or don’t. At the end of the day, it doesn’t really
