Chapter 16 - "Done and dusted"

I'm so looking forward to my English class, its been two days since miss Elena said she would help me, yesterday she told me to meet her after class and I'm guessing its about the issue we discussed so I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that she has found something. I just want to get this over with...

***

*bell rings*

"Now don't forget your assignments, Its very important that I see them and make corrections before your exams" Elena said

The class answered with a "Yes ma" I slowly took my books from my desk and waited for everyone to leave the class before approaching Elena

"Hii miss Elena" I waved

"Didn't I tell you to call me Elena? Just Elena! Godd... Being a teacher sometimes makes me feel old" she sighed

At that point in time I just had to laugh "oh miss... Sorry Elena you're so funny"

She looked amused by what I just said but she quickly wiped it off her face.

"Anyway, I got what you were looking for. I found many papers but they all were too old and rumpled, some even torn with their useful contents going to waste. But I managed to find this one" then she brought out a paper, it was torn though from the top, I think that's where the persons name should be but the answers were all intact and pages still looked good.

"I know its torn but this is the only one that still had all its contents, now hurry up and leave for your next class. A teacher shouldn't be giving a student this, this is illegal and severe punishment would be rendered on whosoever partaked in this mischief " I didn't realize what we were doing was illegal

But I just couldn't help but ask "Is this one yours? Because like you said, you were once his student and everything so I was just asking "

"Oh no, that's not mine, I didn't do the Einstein riddle. My class was given something else to do at the moment, I just kinda remembered because the class that did it was a peculiar class to Mr George that's why he decided to let them try the riddle"

"And they passed? "

"Back then rumor has it that they chose the riddle for them selves and they were able to solve it. So bad their knowledge couldn't be passed down" she sighed

"Well its even amazing that this papers are still in this school, I'm very grateful indeed to the person that's stored them this long" I smiled. I collected the papers and gave her my thanks and then headed out for my next class. When I walked out the door with the paper still in my hand, I couldn't help the curiosity in me to just take a little glance at it.

"Oh! What the heck, it wouldn't hurt if I just looked once."

I turned over the paper and then I just paused where I stood...

...

...WHO 

IS

THIS

PERSON?

Who is this person?! The handwriting looks so familiar I wouldn't mistake it for another person, the way it sleeps on the line and the beauty of the writing... But it can't be!

There is no way in hell that Cynthia, my Cynthia came here.

Yeah... No way in hell. What was I thinking, I was young back then when I used to watch her write so maybe I'm the one going nuts here. Maybe I'm just being arrogant, maybe I miss her that much... And I really do

I laughed a sly laugh and tucked the paper inside my bag, then I hurried to my next class.

At dinner

When we got our dinner and had started eating, I passed the paper under the table for everyone to know I had gotten it.

"What's this?" Christian asked, bringing the paper out in the open.

"Would you hide that thing!! That's top secret information and if we get caught we get punished severely so don't mess around" I scowled

"So how are we going to do this stuff?" Liam asked.

I began "Well, I was thinking about taking turns with the paper. Maybe you guys should take it for today and then being it back tomorrow at dinner, Then it would be Nora and Sophia's turn, then Kc, then finally... me.

Immediately you're done writing, you have to submit. I'll be the last to submit. As you can see if you check it out, its really lengthy with diagrams too so take as much time as you can and make sure you get all the details correctly. What do you think? "

"That's a good idea"

"Great one, we're literally cheating you know"

"Who cares, this is called SHARING" Nora said and we all laughed 

"Nice one katie"

"You're the best" Kc beamed

"Thanks guys"

"Thank you so much for this Katie, you really out did your self this time... " Sophia cheered. her praising me almost makes me want to shed a tear.... Almost

Then the boys started discussing how they would go about it so the paper would reach us tomorrow. Everyone was excited. But I still can't help but remember how I felt when I first saw that paper.

"Are you alright Katie? " Liam asked. Lately he's been really paying attention to me, he always pays attention to his surroundings. I envy him for that gift alone.

"No... Nothing I'm fine. It just the paper "

"What about it? If you're not comfortable with it we could return it and look for another alternative"

"Are you nuts? After everything we've been through, you're willing to release the paper?" 

"No way!! I won't let you. Besides, it just brought back some memories of my childhood. Don't worry about it" I assured

"Ok if you say so"

After that day we started submitting the assignments we even gave some of our classmates that were as useless as us, although some of them were able to do it on their own. I went ahead and submitted my assignment to Mr George. I was walking down the staircase hapilly when all of a sudden someone hit me

"Heyy!! watch it" I complained, I really hit my nose that bad

"Hey cutie pie, you're new here right?" I tilted my head a bit, just to see the piece of shit who practically attacked a harmless girl like me. Let's see...

Dark black hair, chiseled body, pink lips, fine face. Wow! This one was a hottie. But how come I haven't seen him since I started

"Hello? Are you going to stare all day??" He said waving his fingers in my face. What a cocky brat!

"Yes I'm new" I answered 

"Figures, now go back and spread the word!! King Arnaldo is back and ready to continue his reign..."
