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
Blessing was about to walk into the cafeteria when from the distance she heard her name being called.She recognized the voice immediately and because of that, she stopped by the door and huffed.On her face was a slight frown.Alexander came closer and when he got to where she was, he asked “I thought we were supposed to come to the cafeteria together but how come you left me behind and without even saying anything?”Blessing looked at him through the corner of her eyes, shrugged, and then turned to face him.“You seemed busy with your new friend so I didn’t want to disturb you. I mean, how could I possibly think of coming between the both of you when it looked like you were having an important and intimate conversation?” she replied and Alexander grimaced in confusion. “My new friend? Intimate conversation? What the hell are you talking about—?“ he said but Blessing interrupted.“So you even knew the way to the cafeteria and here I was thinking that you didn’t” Alexander frowned.
Blessing wiped the happy tears off her eyes and dried her hand by rubbing it on her skirt.“Sure. Let’s go” she said then grabbed the cafeteria door handle and pushed it open.Both of them went inside the cafeteria and were immediately met with the judging eyes of the other students.“What is he doing here? I thought a rich punk like him wouldn’t want to taste the low-quality food we in this school eat” one student said, sneering at Alexander as the young multimillionaire and Blessing walked passed his and his friends' table.“Look at Blessing too. She has no shame walking next to that cheater” another student said.They were angry not because they thought Alexander was cheating in the exam but because they were jealous that Alexander was allowed to cheat while they weren’t.Also, it was easy to hate someone when they were doing better than you so it became the fad to despise Alexander.“Don’t mind them. They are like that because Princess hasn’t gotten around to telling them the trut
Conroy and his two friends approached the table, and the mischievous look he had made everyone know that nothing good was going to come out of his presence. “Eating together like two lovebirds, huh?” Corner said, drawing Alexander’s and Blessing’s attention to himself.“Come on Corner, let’s leave them alone,” Benjamin said, looking and sounding tired.Stan had the same demeanor about him as Benjamin.“Don’t worry guys, everything’s fine. You can leave if you want but I want to talk to—“ Corner said but was interrupted.“What are you doing here?” Blessing asked and Corner smirked.“What? Can’t I congratulate the couple again? And I thought we were friends but what type of friend tries to chase the other for no reason” Corner said mischievously as he sat down beside Alexander while Benjamin and Stan remained standing behind the bench. Corner looked at Alexander and Blessing then he looked at Alexander’s tray with a massive smile on his face.“I’m happy to see that you enjoy our very
Meanwhile, back at Alexander’s table, the drama continued.“Yeah. He would do that not because he’s wicked or anything but because he would want to teach you a lesson about responsibility. It’s highly irresponsible doing something that’ll risk your future when you’re in such a very important moment so I stopped you from doing something you will regret” Alexander said and Blessing lowered her head in embarrassment.Alexander looked at the girl for a moment, seeing that she had learned her lesson.“Good,” he said then looked at Corner beside him.“You wanted to know mine and Blessing’s relationship so bad well let me tell you what it is,” Alexander said and Corner’s eyes widened and ears cleared up to pay attention. Meanwhile, Benjamin and Stan who were standing behind the bench brought out their phones to check the message the other students were currently checking. “I know Blessing because I’m a friend of her grandmother”Corner grimaced.“You are what now?” He asked.“You heard me
Corner fell from his bench and it turns out the bench was raised from the ground and he fell because of it.Confused about what could have caused him to fall, Corner looked at the part of the bench he had felt rise and he saw Alexander holding the end.“What the hell? How are you able to lift such a heavy—?” Corner asked but Alexander cut him off.Alexander chuckled.“Sorry about that. Sometimes I forget just how strong I am and I didn’t even know I was holding on to the bench when I stood until it was too late and you had fallen off” he said and Corner frowned. “What kind of bullshit is that?! You did that on purpose didn’t you?!” Corner who was angry that Alexander was getting in the way of Blessing forgiving him yelled.“What? Why would I do something so mean on purpose? As I said, I didn’t know I was holding onto the bench and carried it along when I was standing. I guess I better learn to control my strength before I hurt someone by accident” Alexander said then looked at Corner
