-Cherry Song cheated at the quiz bee last week. She don’t deserve the medal! She cheated during the quiz bee. Look at her locker all the proofs are there! I saw her putting the paper that contains all of the formulas on her locker.-

“what’s this? Can someone explain this to me?” jinrae asking everyone around her. “she won’t do something like this.” Jinrae said “my friend is not a cheater.”

x--------------------x

taemin run at the locker area where crowded by students, they’ve been gossiping about cherry.

Taemin look at cherry’s locker, he saw a paper with lots of formulas.

Taemin pull the paper and run through the office,

/////Taemin’s POV/////

I know cherry won’t do something like this, she is a smart girl, I know someone just make this whole thing, I trust cherry and I know how hard she study just to win that. I won’t let someone ruin her name. I won’t let someone hurt her!

/////End of Taemin’s POV/////

x--------------------x

I came at school just on time.

I saw a lot of students as I entered the main entrance near the locker area.

They’ve been whispering at each other, maybe they were just talking about something.

Jinrae run to me, she’s crying. Did something bad happened to her?

“jinrae ah~ why are you crying? Did someone hurt you?” I aske jinrae

“ani… cherry ssi~ someone said that you cheated at the last quiz bee.” Jinrae said to me she’s totally crying.

My skin color turns so pale, I can’t say a single word. Someone is accusing me for something I didn’t did. I’m not a cheater

“it was said on the letter that you wrote all the formulas on a piece of paper.” Jinrae said

“what? I didn’t did that!” I said.

“I know… I know my bestfriend is not a cheater.” She told me.

“Ms. cherry song please come to the office.” The principals’ assistant said

I follow the principals’ assistant

As we’re walking through the corridor of our school

All of the student looking at me, and I can say that with their looks they are judging me… accusing me for something I’m innocent of.

“she’s a cheater.”

“she did that to have an award? How pathetic.”

“tch. She should be kick out of this school.”

I can hear all those words from them, I can’t defend myself. I don’t know how will I defend my self.

x--------------------x

as I and the principals’ assistant reached the office

I saw taemin sitting at the chair in front of our school’s principal

“please sit Ms. song” the principal said

I sat a chair in front of taemin.

“do you know about this?” the principal asked me, as he handed the paper to me.

I look through the paper, I check all the formulas and how that person copied the way I write.

“Sir all of the formulas here are not from me, and the of how that person wrote this is not fully the same as how I write. You can look at my lectures, and the formulas here are not useful to answer all the questions that had given to us during the quiz bee. You can call the math professor who give us the questions and ask him if the formulas are same as the formulas needed for the questions during the quiz bee.” I explained to professor, I defended my self, and I want to clear my name.

Taemin was just looking at me

“Ms. kim please call that math professor.” The principal told to his assistant

“yes principal.”

Moments later the math professor came, he’s holding a paper which contains all the questions with the right answer.

Our school’s principals handed the paper to the math professor.

The professor looking at the both papers, and checking if what I said is right.

“principal ms. song is right, all the formulas written here are not useful, and I think she wouldn’t do such thing, she’s an intelligent student to do something like this.” The math professor explained to our school’s principal

I smiled at the professor and I said “thank you sir.” To him, for defending me.

“well I guess you have nothing to do with this. And you should thank mr. lee for helping you on this, he told me how you worked hard during your practice.” The principal said

I look at taemin to say thank you but he’s looking at the principal, maybe he was just listening attentively.

I wasn’t able to thank him because I don’t know how to said so, he’s not looking at me.

But I really really really want to thank him for the second time.

But how can I do that, should I talk to him? and say thank you?
