Miller stretched out on his bed because he was too tired to memorize formulas for their examination tomorrow for Physics. His intellect is just right for Science. The subject that he is outstanding at is Mathematics. He even wants to get better especially in Mathematics because there are many Mathematics subjects when you want to be an Engineer.
He got up to approach the cat he had brought home. The kitten is sleeping soundly. It reminded him of that moment in school when Aubrey called him cute. He was about to leave his room with a shiver.
He approached the mirror and stared at himself. He fixed his messy hair. He laughed because he realized that something had changed in him lately. He often faces the mirror of his room, checking if he looks okay or not. He thinks it's a nice change within himself.
He reached for his phone. He went to his Gallery to look at the photo of him and Aubrey at the Kia Theater. The girl sent him the photos she took. Miller only saved pictures of the two of them with Aubrey. He tapped the first picture that he saw and zoomed at Aubrey's face.
"She's really beautiful," he said, admiring her beauty. Aubrey's face was so gentle - her skin was smooth, white, and she looked chinita. When she smiles, Miller thinks she looks like an angel.
"Hey, I thought you were studying?"
Miller quickly closed his cellphone when he heard Mommy Mina's voice. "Have you been there for a while already?” Miller asked.
“Yes. I was just in time to hear you say that Aubrey is really beautiful, ”she sarcastically said. “You flirt. Study now."
"Yes, I’m just looking for inspiration." Mina pinched her son's cheek.
“This child, really. . ." She left Miller's room.

"Go inside. I barged inside the utility to turn off all the CCTVs inside Wangjog High, ”Kayden whispered to Claire.
Claire was nervous. During recess breaks, teachers are not in the faculty room. She took this as an opportunity to get the key to correction from her teacher's table. Kayden even ordered her to disturb the faculty as well so that it would be obvious that someone was rummaging through the teachers' belongings.
She just hastened to search their teacher's table. When she found her teacher’s desk, he immediately searched for Ms. Cruz's file organizer. She knows every single detail of Ms. Cruz because she pays attention to all teachers just so she knows how to please them.
It was easy to find because the latest key to correction was in the back. The date of the test is also listed here - that day is March 8. Getting the key to correction, she messed up Ms. Cruz's table so there’d be a sign that there is trouble inside. She folded the key to correction and pocketed it in her skirt. She ran quickly out of the faculty room.
As she walked back to their classroom, she couldn’t help but feel guilty. She is also the one who will be upset if she doesn't follow Kayden's request. She just assured herself that when it’s all over, it would lead to a good consequence because Kayden would date her.
When she returned to the classroom, she was surprised to find out that no one was inside. She is the only one inside! This is a great opportunity to insert the key to correction inside Miller’s backpack. Since she is the class president, it wouldn't be hard to look for his bag because she is familiar to all her classmates.
She hurried to the opposite side of Miller's desk. She opened the first zipper and inserted the key to correction in his clipboard. She successfully placed the key to correction inside his bag. Now, they just have to wait for the teachers to figure it out.

“Mare, like my facebook page too. I am a reseller of products. Maybe you want to buy some of my products, ”said Ms. Cruz to her best friend and co-teacher Ms. Saique.
The two are back from the cafeteria. Ms. Cruz just refreshed her mind so she can focus on the section that will take the Physics test today. Upon reaching the hallway, friends noticed student Miller. It smiled at them. He said, “Good morning, Ms. Cruz and Ms. Saique. ” The two teachers nodded.
"Isn't that your beautiful student's boyfriend?" Ms. Saique asked her.
Ms. Cruz raised her eyebrow. “According to my assumptions, they may have a relationship. I don't want to conclude because I shouldn't be the one to confirm it, ”said Ms. Cruz.
Ms. Cruz opened the door of the faculty. She was surprised because she opened it easily. The door was not closed and there was only a small opening in the door. She has a bad feeling about it.
Upon entering, her soul seemed to disappear from her body. Her notebooks are scattered everywhere. Include her pen holder that is already fallen. It's a pity that her pilot ballpens because by the time it falls down, the quality of the pen will deteriorate.
She rushed to her desk and inspected her bag. Her file organizer is not properly placed. “Why, best? What's the matter?" asked Ms. Saique.
“Someone entered the faculty. Maybe someone stole the test paper for their examination today. ” She pulled out her file organizer. The test papers are still there but the key to correction is missing.
She gasped. “These students are getting on my nerves. Cheating their ways out but it's obvious,” she said.
In just ten minutes, she will enter the next section with an examination for Physics. She just spent the rest of the time sorting out the clutter.

Miller quickly ran back to the classroom. The young man only bought mineral water in the cafeteria because he was thirsty. In just a few minutes, their examination for Physics will begin. He wanted to recall everything he had studied so he was sure of what he would answer.
When he returned to the classroom, all his classmates were studying. The noise you will hear is only the students pronouncing the formulas they will use. Miller sat down and looked at Aubrey's direction. The girl was very focused on reading. He smiled because of that beautiful view.
He read the notes he had written on the yellow paper. He has already summarized the whole chapter that they will have a test about so that he will not have to open his book. He was annoyed because it was time consuming to open the book, especially when the page was far away.
He was surprised because Ms. Cruz was on time. Their teacher went straight inside - she didn't even greet them. Of course, it made the students confused. Although this teacher is annoying, she does not forget to greet the students before the exam or discussion.
"You no longer have the exam for Physics," she announced. Miller, on the other hand, felt a lot of frustration because he went to bed at 12 am just to review. His classmates reacted differently. They obviously did not study because of their shouting.
“Why are you rejoicing? I will not cancel your examination because I just felt like I had to,” she added. The whole class was silent because they already felt the anger in the teacher's voice.
"Put your bags in front." After Ms. Cruz commanded, the students carried their bags to the front. Soon they were back in their seats.
"Now, what is its purpose, you may be asking," she remarked. “After I ate for the recess, I went back to the faculty without my equipment. Fortunately, I am familiar with my equipment. I noticed that the key to correction for your examination is missing. ”
"President," Ms. Cruz called Claire. She stood up. “Join me to inspect your classmates' equipment one by one. Claire and I are the only ones because the culprit might ruin my investigation.”
They have already started inspecting the bags. Someone from behind tapped on Miller's shoulders so Miller turned around. This is Skyler.
"Am I the only one who's nervous even though I didn't do anything?" Skyler whispered to the young man. Miller just smiled in response. Quite odd how Skyler initiates to talk to him when his friends are just next to him.
"Found it!"
Everyone in the class was shocked to hear that. It was Claire's voice holding the key to correction folded. "Is this it, Ma'am?" she confirmed. Ms. nodded. Cruz.
"Which bag did you find that?" Ms. asked. Cruz. Claire lifted a mint green colored bag. Miller was surprised because he had it.
"Miller," Claire said. All the students looked at him. Miller looked at them back, confused.
“Mr. Aquino, come with me to the principal's office. ”
