It was a serene corner, hidden behind a row of tall bushes that shielded them from the rest of the school. They both had their books open, poring over notes and studying diligently for their forthcoming test.

As the warm afternoon sun filtered through the leaves above, Daniel leaned in closer to Leonard, his voice a hushed whisper. "Hey, Leonard," he began, a concerned look on his face. "I overheard something today that you should know about."

Leonard glanced up from his textbook, his brow furrowing in curiosity. "What is it, Daniel?"

Daniel hesitated for a moment before revealing what he had heard. "I overheard Edgar," he began, "telling his friends that he's planning to cheat on the upcoming test."

Leonard's eyes narrowed, and he exchanged a knowing look with Daniel. They had dealt with Edgar's antics before, but this was a new low. "Daniel, we can't let him get away wit

    Leonard nervously cleared his throat as he sat down with Susan and Daniel, at their favorite corner booth in the local diner one evening of that same week. Earlier, Leonard had reasoned that it wouldn't be safe for all three of them to continue talking in school because as it stood, Susan now served as a double agent and he didn't want to endanger her any further. The dimly lit ambiance and the hum of chatter around them did little to ease his anxiety. He knew he had to tell them about his plan, a plan he had been mulling over for days."Guys, there's something I need to talk to you about," Leonard began, his voice wavering slightly. He could feel the weight of the words he was about to speak.Susan and Daniel exchanged glances, concern etched on their faces. "What's up, Leonard?" Daniel asked, leaning forward.Leonard took a deep breath and then blurted out, "I've been thinking... I want to confront Edgar."Susan and Daniel exchanged puzzled looks.

"Guys," he began, "I saw something really strange today."Susan and Daniel exchanged curious glances, setting aside their sandwiches to give Leonard their full attention."What is it, Leonard?" Susan asked, her eyes widening with intrigue."Well," Leonard continued, "I was walking to my next class, and I saw Edgar. He was tiptoeing along the hallways like he didn't want anyone to see him."Daniel furrowed his brows. "Tiptoeing? That's odd. What's he up to?"Leonard leaned in even closer as if sharing a state secret. "I have no idea, but I just knew he was hiding

She set the book aside and patted the empty space next to her, inviting Leonard to sit down."What's on your mind, sweetheart?" she asked, her voice filled with motherly concern.Leonard took a deep breath before he began to recount the unsettling events that had been unfolding at school.

Failure to pass your subjects will have you repeating this class and it is not my wish for anyone to repeat this class," he said.Leonard glanced at Daniel sitting opposite him and they both knew what the teacher meant by that. Leonard in particular didn't want his mother's efforts to be in vain especially as she had trained him from the cradle till now without a father figure in their life.

Daniel asked.The phone was in Leonard's hands and he knew that that was the only piece of evidence they had and if it got missing, their accusations would hold no water."I think we should hold on for a while," Leonard said, his head going over every thought.He was trying to be very logical here and once again go through everything they had done and talked about."Wait?
