Eh Felix. Felix's dad called out to him as he rushed downstairs with his school bag, "Felix, what's wrong? Join us for breakfast. You're going to be late!" But Felix was already running behind schedule and didn't have time to spare. "Sorry, Dad, I'll eat at school. I need to deal with some things," he replied, rushing out the door to the car waiting for him outside. The driver, Mr. Johnson, greeted him with a nod as Felix jumped into the backseat.
His dad turned to Elvis, who was sitting at the kitchen table sipping a cup of coffee, "What's wrong with him? He's been acting strange all week." Elvis shrugged, "Maybe we should ask him when he gets back from school. I'm sure it's nothing." Felix's dad raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure you didn't do anything to him? You two have been at odds lately." Elvis denied it, "No, why should I? We're brothers, not enemies." But Felix's dad wasn't convinced, "You better be telling the truth, Elvis. I don't want any fighting in this house."
And no one is going to fight either.
That better be. And you didn't you have lectures.
I do.
Then what are you still waiting for.
Ehh, let me eat first, I'm also a human.
Then eat faster. With that he left to his room.
At school, Felix's teacher, Mrs. Thompson, called out to him as he walked down the hallway, "Felix, how are you doing.
good morning! Ma, he greeted.
You'll be participating in the competition, right?" Felix nodded, "Yes, ma'am. I've been studying hard." Mrs. Thompson smiled, "I'm glad to hear that. Don't forget to collect your class answer sheet for the last test. Are you busy now.
No ma.
Then Please follow me to my office." Felix followed her, curious about how his score will turn out, Maybe he had done better on the test than he thought?
After a while, Felix was seen coming out of the staff room with some test book on his hand, Meanwhile, Gabriel approached Felix in the hallway, "Felix, what are you looking at? You've been staring at those papers for minutes." Felix showed him the answer sheets the teacher had handed him earlier. "Look at this," Gabriel said, pointing in Jessica and Ozys' answers. "Can't you see? Something fishy is going on here." Gabriel was confused, "What do you mean? They just got the answers wrong." But Felix was insistent, "No, it's more than that. Look at this question. It's easy, even a primary school student can solve it. But Ozys got it wrong. And look at this, it looks like she erased some pencil marks and changed the answers to the wrong ones."
As they walked to class, Gabriel asked Felix to explain what he meant. Felix showed him the evidence, pointing out erased pencil marks and incorrect answers that seemed intentional. Gabriel was still skeptical, but Felix urged him to keep an open mind. "Let's go back to class, and then you can explain all this to me," Gabriel said, still unsure what to make of Felix's claims. But Felix just shook his head, "You're not listening, Gabriel. Something is going on, and we need to get to the bottom of it."
"So what were you saying about Alex's sister?" Gabriel asked, as they got back to class his eyes narrowing slightly as he waited for Felix to explain.
Felix hesitated, looking around the class room to make sure no one was listening. "Yesterday evening, I'm not sure if we are the only ones who saw that poster, but it was just me, her, and Jessica," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.
Gabriel's eyes widened. "Okay, then what happened?" he asked, his curiosity piqued.
Felix shook his head. "I don't know, but before I could even start solving any questions, someone had already done them. And I don't know how to put this, but I think one of them did it. And I think it's possibly Ozy."
Gabriel raised an eyebrow. "Hmm, I don't think so. Just look at her," he said, pointing at Ozys, who was sitted, chatting with her friends. "I don't think she's capable of doing that."
Felix frowned. "I would have believed that if I hadn't seen her working on at Joe's dinner. Who knows what else she's hiding?"
Gabriel's eyes snapped back to Felix. "What do you mean by working?" he asked, his voice firm.
Felix tried to change the topic. "Working on her assignment, I mean. And the result sheet...I think it's obvious."
Gabriel shook his head. "Felix, I don't think so. Okay, we have a math test tomorrow, right?"
Felix nodded. "Yeah, I think so."
Gabriel's eyes locked onto Felix's. "Then we need to watch them closely. We need to see if they're going to try anything funny during the test.
"You think so," Felix said, nodding in agreement. "Yeah, but how are we going to catch them in the act?"
Gabriel thought for a moment. "Don't worry, I will try to solve the questions as fast as possible so that I can keep an eye on them."
Felix nodded, a plan forming in his mind. "Mm, I think that will help. We need to be careful, though. If they suspect we're onto them, they might try to cover their tracks."
Gabriel chuckled. "I'm not that good at math, so you should do the job. You're always so quick to finish your tests."
Felix rolled his eyes. "Kk, fine.
I can't believe I'm supporting you in this. You're the one who's always getting us into trouble."
Gabriel grinned. "What now? Should we start investigating or something?"
Felix shook his head. "Nothing, let's just wait till tomorrow. We'll keep an eye on them during the test and see if they try anything suspicious."
Gabriel nodded,
Felix turns to say his eyes sparkling with excitement. "This is going to be good. I can feel it."
Gabriel sighed, rubbing his temples. "I have a feeling we're getting in over our heads.
Felix clapped him on the back. "Come on, Gabriel. It'll be fun. We're like detectives, solving a mystery."
Gabriel couldn't help but laugh. "You're impossible, Felix."
I'm I.
Do I need to say anything else.
No you don't. He replied as they laugh together.
