KIAToday is an early Monday, and guess what? — I am going back to school today! I got a call from the dean last night saying that I could now join the class since the investigation of the cheating issues was done. Honestly, I got so excited, but after hearing that the investigation was done, I just felt very nervous all of a sudden. What if Vera and her friends did some stupid things again? I know Asteria is part of this, and for sure she won't just pass me through this. She will make sure that I won't enjoy my years in college. What an evil brat!"Are you sure you don't want me to go with you?" Ares asked.We arrived at the school and I told him that I can go by myself. The dean said that she was going to talk to me as soon as I arrived and Ares was so worried that something bad might happen or someone might bully me.I nodded. "Mhmm! I've got this. Don't worry, I've got a good feeling about this. I hope so…" I murmured."Alright, whatever you say. I will just be at work and again,
KIAYou could be forgiven for assuming that she won't do it, but the truth is that she has already done it. Because of this, we are now working to resolve everything, including the damages that the issue may have caused to you. Ms. Saavedra, please accept our deepest condolences for the events that have transpired. I am aware of your capabilities, which is why it came as such a shock to me when I first learned that you had cheated on your midterm examination. I just couldn't believe it. I am aware of how intelligent you are, and after listening to Ms. Ventura's admission, I realized that not only did that make you deserving of all the recognition you received the first time, but it also made you deserving of the recognition you received the second time. Put your worries to rest, Ms. Saavedra, because I will see to it that everyone at this university acknowledges you as the best of the best. The dean reached for her phone in a startlingly abrupt manner, and it appeared as though she in
KIAAfter learning the unfortunate news from Miaree and Marcy, I don't know how I will be able to be happy with the accomplishment and recognition I have received. Should I be ecstatic about the fact that I have the ace and that, according to Miaree and Marcy, I will come in first place among all of the players? Even though I've reached the pinnacle, I can't figure out why I'm feeling so down.As soon as we got back to the classroom, everybody changed their attitude toward me to become much more friendly. Vera is not in the class that I am in, but some of her friends are, and they are trying to avoid eye contact with me."Hi, Kianna! Is it accurate to say that they intend to bring back the levels? I just got word that you had a conversation with the dean earlier. Have you had a conversation about it with her?" I was approached with a question as I was making my way to my seat, and as soon as I took a seat, the person suddenly moved in closer and began peppering me with more inquiries.
KIASince Ms. Ventura was the one who falsely accused you of something you have never done, the dean has asked you to work with her on the project so that you can make amends. Since she had been completely honest with him, the dean decided to give her a second chance despite placing her in the lowest possible tier. Will you be able to pull something like that off?"What exactly do you want me to take care of for you?" I asked.I have no clue what they had in mind for the outcome, but I am certain that they did this on purpose in order to bring about the outcome they desired. Where does one begin? Vera, do you think she was successful in manipulating them?"You won't have any other responsibilities besides being her partner. You are going to offer assistance to her with her project, and completing this task successfully will be your first assignment as the top student at this institution." She was the one who responded.As soon as I heard the word "mission," I made a conscious effort t
KIAI was asked to report to the dean's office shortly after finishing my meal in the cafeteria. To perform at the level of an ace requires an incredible amount of effort. I am constantly required to complete a number of errands, and, if I am being completely honest, this is slowly draining the energy out of me. Miaree is not here with me because she needs to return to the classroom where we are having the next part of the lesson because it is almost time to begin. As I was walking to the dean's office, I became aware that those looks will now follow me wherever I go. It doesn't matter where I go, they will always be there. It was a little strange, but there was no reason to be concerned about it. I just feel uncomfortable sometimes.When I walked up to the door of the dean's office, the assistant to the dean greeted me and said, "The dean is waiting for you inside." As soon as I walked in, I noticed the dean was enjoying one of her go-to drinks while she was sitting on the sofa."I h
KIA"What the heck are you doing in this place?!!" I yelled back in a hysterical manner.After that, she went inside, kept one hand on her back, and looked around while glancing in every direction. "I am here to talk to you, Kianna," she said. "I apologize for the inconvenience.""What exactly are you going to discuss? Vera, there is nothing that either of us can talk about right now.""The dean of the college informed me of the news..." She sat down after grabbing a chair and placing it in the room "She has reportedly stated that she will provide me with an opportunity. Did it occur to you that I have already reconciled myself to the outcome of my situation, and that it is possible that I will be expelled from this college? I never imagined that I would be given a third opportunity to make amends for my mistakes, and that opportunity would come in the form of working with you on a project. I am extremely grateful for this opportunity.""Vera, I'm completely at a loss for words. I'm n
KIA"Yeah, sure! I, too, was caught off guard when I realized that we had reached this point. Vera, I really hope that we'll be able to form a stronger connection with one another, especially throughout the course of working on that project. I really hope that you are able to succeed in that project so that you can maintain your grade and participate in either the middle or high tier." I stood up and extended my hand to her in a gesture of friendship "I suppose this brings us to the end... Please let me know, Vera Eunice Ventura, if it is possible for us to become friends."She appeared shocked as she looked at me, but after taking a moment to examine my hand, she reached out and grabbed it, and then we both gave each other a handshake. It was then that she uttered the word "friends," and from that moment on, our relationship underwent a sea change.She assisted me in cleaning the office and even assisted me in planning the new layout for this office with the new design. I'm at a loss
During the course of our conversation regarding the project, Vera's phone began to ring for no apparent reason. She reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone, then immediately turned her attention to Kianna.“Go! Answer it." Kianna said, smiling.Vera nodded and stood up, but as she was walking away, her phone was facing Kianna's direction, so Kianna could see who was calling Vera. This allowed Kianna to answer Vera's call. Indeed, it was Asteria all along!The question is, why is she calling her? Kianna wondered.Vera walked out of the room to answer the phone call that was coming in. Kianna had the urge to follow her and inquire as to the nature of the conversation that was taking place between her and Asteria, but she restrained herself and instead took a few deep breaths.Is she faking it throughout this entire conversation? Is the purpose of all of this to merely exert influence over me? Coming up to me and trying to enlist my help in their upcoming endeavor as one of her
