Chapter 6 - mathematics at 6

teacher- Alice, come over and solve this problem on the board.

Alice- Ok sir.

[Alice walks up to the board and does it right. the teacher compliments her and asks her to go back to her seat. for the next few weeks Alice pays attention to her studies while frequenting to the park a few times to meet with Damian. her and Damian get closer than ever. the math teacher once again calls her to the staff room after school hours for no reason whatsoever. ]

Alice- hello sir, did you need something?

teacher- hi dear, what's going on? are you finally back to your studies all of a sudden?

Alice- hahaha yeah, i think I'm finally studying math. i don't have to depend on you anymore for some silly grades.

teacher- that's good.

Alice-.... I'm very sorry for my previous actions. i should have never crossed the line... but i did. i know i can't take it back but let's end it here. it's the best for your family and me as well.

teacher-...

Alice- i would love to fix my mistakes.

teacher- that's a good step forward. huge step forward.

Alice- sir yes sir.

teacher- how about you practice these questions.... right now? let me see how much you have been studying.

Alice- I. ok..

[Alice takes the sheet of paper and sits on another teachers cabin.]

teacher- ok you do that... I'll go and take a smoke break and come back in about 15 minutes. hope you are finished by then.

Alice- ok.

teacher- good luck.

[the teacher leaves. Alice continues looking at the door from which he exits and after a while goes back to writing the answers. suddenly Damian appears out of the blue. ]

Damian- hey.

Alice- oh my god you scared me.

Damian- i know right. watchu doing?

Alice- practice paper? test maybe... i don't know. did you follow me here?

Damian- i figured that you needed a hand. so need any help?

[ Damian rocks his phone with a smirk. ]

Alice- OK....

Damian- Ok...

[Damian helps her with the answers by using internet and she quickly copies them within 5 minutes.]

Alice- that was a breeze. thanks so much.

Damian- let's go shall we.

Alice- alright.

[Alice puts a paper weight on the sheet and leaves the staff room with Damian hand in hand. a while later the teacher comes to find the staff room empty and the sheet of questionnaire solved correctly. the teacher sighs out in dismay. next day again he calls her over and does the same thing and Damian helps her escape when he is gone. this goes on for a week.]

Damian- why is he giving you test papers of stuff that are not going to be necessary for the finals? is he your private tutor or something?

Alice- maybe he wants to test my knowledge.

Damian- perhaps. but these questions are college graduation level. pretty neat to be fair.

Alice- i think i told him that i am already going to cram school for the college entrance exams and he took it seriously.

Damian- hmm. still i think he's creepy, you should stop visiting him.

Alice- why so?

Damian- idk. he just is.

Alice- ...ok

[alice sighs and finishes rest of the paper. the teacher once again returns to staff room and finds the sheet filled with answers. He asks her to come over in the next day as well but she ignores his request and doesn't respond to his after school calls. he decides to stop calling her over as well. everything is peaceful until the next class test and he sets the paper hard as fuck. a lot of students fail in class except a select few that includes Alice and Damian.]

Damian- what was the paper about? final year of math phd?

Alice- it was tough for no reason.

Damians benchmate- i fucking hate this teacher.

Alice- same pinch.

Damian- he's onto something.

[everyone complains about the difficulty level of the math test and send a letter to the principal about this problem. a week later the math teacher takes retest and the students finally get a passing grade except a few who fail again. nonetheless, the math teacher gives them extra classes after school to make up for their lost scores. every one gets pissed but they don't have a choice but to follow. ]

Amy- my mom's gonna kill me.

Melvin- same.

Amy- i can't believe you failed.

Melvin- me neither. i think it's because of Alice.

Amy- what?

Melvin- Alice and i used to share notes back in the day. not anymore, especially after the break up.

Amy- get back with her then.

Melvin- are you serious?

Amy- well you don't like me either. you clearly miss your ex.

Melvin- oh god Amy. can you stop being a pushover?

Amy- I'm not a pushover. I'm just stating facts here. think about it. you wanna get back with her.... like you always have.

[Amy sighs and weeps while shaking.]

Melvin- can't believe you're crying right now.

Amy- leave me alone.

[Amy throws his hands away and changes her seat. Alice notices it but she doesn't react, she is busy gossiping with her friends while taking notes. after class ends, the teacher asks Amy over to the staffroom. Alice stealthily follows and finds out Amy talking to the math teacher in the empty staff room. he asks her to practice math as usual and does his usual routine of touching her vigorously. Alice records the video silently. after a few minutes Alice ends the video and turns around to find class teacher standing right next to her. ]

teacher- what's going on?

Alice- oh its just...

[the teacher moves her aside and opens the door to the staff room, talking to the math teacher, interrupting his 1 to 1 student groping session. Alice smirks and saves the video in a backup server and leaves before the teacher can catch her. next day the teacher asks her to come to her desk in the staff room.]

teacher- where is your phone?

Alice- oh... here.

teacher- i need you to delete the video footage. Mr. X has been taken care of. he will be resigning by Friday.

Alice- ok ma'am.

teacher- you know why I'm telling you this? you are going to ruin Amy's future if you leak that video.

Alice- i won't. don't worry.

teacher- i don't want to deal with that trouble.... I'm guessing you have taken my words seriously?

Alice- yes ma'am.

teacher- ..... since when has this been going on?

Alice- —i have no idea. i was just passing by when i saw what was happening.

teacher - it was after school hours. you weren't supposed to be there... unless you had valid reasons which is..?

Alice- oh i was at the library until 3. Mrs. G is very considerate when it comes to library pass. i shouldn't have overstayed and then i was going to take the back staircase from 2nd floor and then i discovered what was happening....i had zero clue what was going on.... but i have heard rumors about mr. X getting touchy with the girls in my class.

teacher- .... if you're lying then you'll get into big trouble.

Alice- i swear to God. you can ask Milo. he was with me at the library.

teacher - milo?

Alice- yes.

teacher- i can talk to the librarian directly. i don't need to involve your friends.

Alice- Ma'am please don't call my parents.

teacher- that depends on what you do with the video.

Alice- look i deleted it.

[Alice shows her phones empty folder. ]

teacher- you could be lying right now since there's cloud backup these days who knows. maybe you saved it there.

Alice- i swear—

teacher- i don't care. i just want you to be careful. you'll be the first to get in trouble if the video gets leaked, do you understand my language?

Alice- yes ma'am.

teacher- don't be reckless. now get out.

Alice- sorry ma'am.

[Alice bows and leaves and goes back to her class with a sinister smile across her cheek ]
