Chapter 876 Alienating Everyone
After pondering about it, Irwin’s eyes lit up as he looked at Chubs. “You have the worst academic scores
in class, so why didn’t you follow the others and alienate me?”
“My academic performance is my business and my dad said we have to be loyal to our friends. We can’t
betray them for mere benefits!” Chubs sniffed while speaking.
“What about you?” Irwin looked at Specky. “You chased the vice principal’s son out of school and stood
up for all of us. You’re our hero and I see you as my leader. Once my leader, always my leader. I will
never betray you!” Specky announced with determination.
Although they were only in first grade, unlike grownups, they were more true to their feelings and it was
difficult to bribe them into changing their stance.
Nodding slightly, Irwin contemplated for a moment before saying emotionlessly, “All of you come home
with me after class.”
“Why? Are you treating us to something delicious?” Chubs’ eyes were glistening. “What else do you
know besides food? Irwin gathered us together so that we can improve our grades together, of course!”
Specky waved his hand excitedly.
“Shut up.” Irwin disdainfully yelled at them. “Why are the three of you over here instead of staying in the
classroom?”
When the voice of their homeroom teacher suddenly sounded from behind them, Chubs and Specky
turned around and froze. Meanwhile, Irwin stood still with a layback posture. He was so calm that he did
not seem like a student.
Pushing her glasses, Miss Smores exuded a majestic aura that only a teacher could have and stared at
them for a few seconds before sending them away. “It’s almost time for class. You two, head back to the
classroom now. Irwin White, come with me.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs such, Irwin was brought to the teacher’s office. A few minutes later, Alexia was also led to the office
by her classmate.
When Elise arrived, she saw the two children standing by the wall and an uncomfortable feeling arose
inside her.
“Hello, Miss Smores. I’m Irwin and Alexia’s parent. May I know what they did wrong to deserve such a
punishment?”
Miss Smores looked up from the teaching materials she was reading and closed her notebook before
slowly explaining, “Miss White, right? According to the teachers from other subjects, the White siblings
have not submitted their homework several times, which is not an appropriate way a student should
behave. That has also caused a negative effect on their class. I think that I’m already very lenient by
punishing them that way. I hope you can understand our job.”
“There must be some kind of misunderstanding. I check their homework every day, so how could they
not have been appropriate?” Elise chose to believe in her children.
“Misunderstanding? Sure, if that’s the case of one subject, but it’s all three subjects. Although the
students in Class F aren’t very good at their studies, they would always submit their homework
regardless. What they did is disrespectful to their teachers. Now that the other teachers are angry, I have
to do something to relieve their anger, right?” Miss Smores’ expression was dark as coal. She was not an
easy person to fool.
Having met many teachers like Miss Smores, Elise was not intimidated by her. She turned to look at the
siblings and asked gently, “Do you have anything to tell me?”
Irwin raised his chin arrogantly as if he was not bothered by this issue.
Meanwhile, Alexia muttered, “It was the other students. They won’t take our notebooks and won’t talk to
us. We didn’t do anything wrong, so why are we the ones receiving the punishment…”
When Elise heard that, she felt distressed. The two grew up abroad and the education they were brought
up with was that they had to atone for their mistakes and follow what was right. Hence, it was natural for
them to feel wronged after receiving capital punishment for nothing.
She turned to the homeroom teacher and toughened up her attitude. “Miss Smores, there you go. It’s not
that my children are not abiding by the school regulations. The other children in class are alienating Irwin
and Alexia, so I think you need to talk to the other children.”
Humiliated, the homeroom teacher half-heartedly agreed, “I will conduct an investigation to see if what
they say is true, but even if it is, why are the other children alienating them? Shouldn’t Irwin and Alexia
reflect on their wrongdoings too?”
“What are you implying? Are you saying that the victims have done something wrong?” Furious, Elise
wanted to talk some sense into the homeroom teacher but was interrupted by Irwin.
“Mommy, please help Alexia and I to apply for suspension and exemption from class. That way, there
won’t be any problems for all three parties.”
It was a waste of time for them to attend school back and forth. With that amount of time everyday, he
could even create a simple program in that amount of time.
Moreover, he and Alexia had already completed their elementary courses. Only their Athesean needed
some work, but that was an easy fix and he could tutor Alexia on his own later.
He only agreed to come to school to gain some life experience. Now that he thought there was nothing
much to experience, it would be better to leave.
Elise knew that her children were not cowards. Back when she was their age, she also dropped out of
school whenever she wanted. Therefore, she could not force her children to follow the rules.
However, as their mother, suspending their studies was a big matter, so she had to think about it.
On the other hand, the homeroom teacher also disagreed with that, “That’s not possible. Our school
uses proportions when calculating your academic scores. Your class score and final examination results
accounted for twenty and eighty percent of your final academic scores. If your class score is zero
percent, it means you have to get at least eighty or above in your final examination for you to pass the
semester. Otherwise, you’d have to retake or get dissuaded.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmInternational schools paid a lot of attention to their performance and reputation, so retaking and getting
dissuaded are lies. In the end, those who failed would get expelled.
In that sense, if the White siblings did apply for suspension of classes without managing to get over
eighty marks in their final examination, they would have to leave the school.
Although the homeroom teacher did not want these two troublemakers in her class, she would rather pay
more attention to them than to have these two students bring the whole class down with them.
Having seen through the homeroom teacher’s schemes, Irwin pursed his lips and offered a suggestion
he knew the homeroom teacher would not refuse. “How about you agree that we stay home and get
homeschooled, and I’ll write a notice to the school’s board of directors, saying that if anything happens,
we’ll bear the consequences and won’t implicate you in any way?”
Then, he added, “If you don’t agree, then we’ll have to stay here and the conflict between us and our
classmates will deepen. Later, more children would be affected by this too. By then, it is possible that
your performance will be greatly reduced too, Miss Smores.”
The homeroom teacher saw her “performance” as her lifeline, so she was immediately persuaded. “Fine,
then. I can approve of your application to suspend your classes, but if you two failed your examinations,
don’t say I didn’t warn ya.”
Once she mentioned that, she looked at Elise as if asking for her confirmation. “What about your
guardian? Does she agree with this?”
A child’s words were still lacking in convincing after all, so Miss Smores needed to get confirmation from
their guardian before she could rest assured.
Looking at her children, Elise nodded. “I have no objections.”
Her son had always had his own opinions, so she only had to go along with him.
When they exited the school gates, a sense of worry still lingered around Elise. After hesitating for a
while, she stopped and looked at her children.
“Darlings, being alienated is not your fault, so don’t doubt yourselves, understand?”
Irwin raised his head and looked at his mother with a carefree expression. “Mommy, you’re wrong.
They’re not the ones alienating me and Alexia. We are the ones alienating them.”
