As soon as Alison sat down, the chair next to her was pulled out. Luis threw his school bag onto the desk and sat down.
Luis just finished playing basketball and smelled heavy with sweat, so Alison immediately smelled it when he sat down.
Alison blushed and her hands trembled as she flipped through the book.
Glancing at her, Luis did not say anything and tilted his head to drink water.
The last two classes in the afternoon were math classes.
The math teacher of Class 7 was an experienced and competent teacher. But she was a fuddy-duddy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen it cto math class, the students in the class consciously remained silent.
Today, the math teacher entered the door with a stern face. She hadn't walked to the podium but had thrown two books to the podium.
The BANG sound shocked all the students.
"Alexa, Alison, you two go out and stand in the hallway!" Alison froze when suddenly called upon. Looking at the math teacher's angry face, she did not dare to say anything and stood up from her seat.
Alexa's face got red. The other students in the class were stunned as Alison and Alexa were suddenly thrown out of the classroom to stand in the hallway.
When Alison and Alexa stood in the hallway, the math teacher in the classroom raised her hand and slapped the podium again, "How many times have | said that copying homework is not allowed? The homework you turned in has the ssteps to solve the problem and the smistakes. Do you guys think I'm an idiot?" The teacher continued to say, "With such a study attitude, do you still want to enter university? | think you guys don't want to go to university at all! | assigned five math problems, including three basic word problems, one geometric word problem, and one function word problem. Alison and Alexa only got two math problems right!” Standing outside, Alison realized why she had been punished when she heard what the math teacher had said.
Her face turned red and her eyes were red with shame.
Although Alexa also felt ashamed to be punished, she was not so thin-skinned as to cry out of shame.
When she saw that Alison was about to cry, Alexa panicked and comforted her in a low voice, "Don't worry.
That's what Ms.
Burnham is. When scolding students, she has no mercy. She didn't mean anything else. She got angry because | copied your homework!" Lowering her head, Alison looked at her shoes and didn't say anything.
Seeing her reaction, Alexa beceven more upset and said, "Are you okay?" "Don't cry. It's all my fault! | shouldn't have copied your homework! | was in such a hurry that | forgot not to copy all of yours. Alison, please don't cry!” The more Alexa said, the more anxious she becand her voice beclouder and louder.
When Alexa was about to say something else, the math teacher, Laura Burnham, threw a piece of chalk out and said, "Alexa, are you proud of copying homework?" The students laughed when they heard Ms. Burnham's words.
Alexa's face turned red. She didn’t dare to say anything.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen the bell rang for the end of the class, Ms. Burnham had no intention of letting them in and sat on the podium sipping water. She didn't even look at them.
At this time, the students in other classes cout of their classrooms. The students were surprised to see Alexa and Alison standing in the hallway when they passed by Class 7.
Alexa was popular, so many students knew her. But many people didn't know Alison yet.
Both of them were good-looking, attracting many boys to deliberately walk back and forth in the hallway of Class 7s Alexa didn’t care about it. When she saw someone blatantly ogling them, she glared and scolded, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen someone taking corporal punishment?” Alison was different. She was so thin-skinned that she felt shameful for being asked to stand in the hallway on her second day at school.
She held the tears back for one entire class. Now that class was over, she was on the verge of tears.
However, Alison knew it was useless to cry, so she forced herself not to cry out.
But her eyes were very red. Alexa looked at her and felt upset. Looking at Ms.
Burnham, Alexa gritted her teeth and ran in, "Ms. Burnham, the person who copied the homework is me. | copied her homework without her permission. When she wasn't looking, | grabbed her workbook and copied it. You have punished her for one class. Please let her cback for the second class."
