Who Stole Whose Score? - Chapter 7

Chapter 7 The Truth The admissions officer entered my information. My entire student record appeared on the screen the very next second. "Name: Evander Holloway" "Admitted to: Kingswell University-Computer Science Honors Program" "Admission: Guaranteed admission-35th International Mathematical Olympiad Gold Medalist" Every word was a slap in the face to Lucian and Celine. The livestream chat exploded, with "No way!" and" Holy crap!" flooding the screen. "It really is the official website! If that's fake, then I'll eat my keyboard!" "An International Mathematical Olympiad gold medal?

Holy crap, he's not a lousy student. He's a total genius!" "God, this is hilarious! Didn't a certain someone accuse him of forging official documents? How does your face feel now?" "Am I the only one who noticed what he did? He'd already earned a guaranteed admission, which means he didn't even need to take the college admissions exam! He really did just score 128 for fun!" The evidence was undeniable. Lucian's legs gave out, and he collapsed onto the ground. I looked down at him and delivered the final blow.

"Lucian, you keep calling yourself a top student and accusing me of stealing your score. "So, riddle me this. Why would someone who'd already earned a guaranteed admission to Kingswell University bother to switch their scores with someone whose college admissions exam score wasn't even good enough for a decent college? "Did a donkey kick my head when I wasn't looking, so I suddenly decided Kingswell University wasn't good enough and wanted to go somewhere nobody's heard of instead?" The neighbors and onlookers finally put the pieces together. The looks they gave Lucian were full of contempt.

"That brat's been crying wolf this entire time!" "He looks like such a nice boy. Who knew he could be this nasty?" "T almost believed him and accused an innocent person!" Now that things were turning against her, Linnea wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and quietly edged toward the back of the crowd, trying to slip away. "Ms. Ashcombe, where do you think you're going?" I spotted her and called her out immediately. "Weren't you just saying that Lucian was always one of the top ten students in his grade? So, how do you explain that 324?" Linnea froze in place, her face turning pale.

The admissions officer frowned and turned to Linnea. "Are you the dean of this school? Judging by how the gap between a student's usual grades and his college admissions exam score is so enormous, there may be academic misconduct involved. I'll be reporting this to the Department of Education." Linnea instantly panicked the moment she heard those words, so she immediately threw Lucian under the bus to save her career. "1... [had nothing to do with this!" she cried out. Then, she pointed at Lucian on the ground and shouted, "It was him! It was all Lucian! He's been cheating on his tests!
