Acknowledgment: I would like to express my gratitude to my family, the Bookworm Buddies Club, and my bunny for their assistance and inspiration in making this book. I also want to express my gratitude to all of the readers who have read and enjoyed this book!
Chapter 1: “The Moving”
At Tibbar High School, there was once a girl named Maxie who enjoyed studying. She enjoyed her time there because she was the most intelligent and well-liked student. But her parents broke the news to her after all that joy. "Maxie, we are moving to Erah City, so we are going to Ynnub Academy!!!"
"WHY?” she cried out. “I consistently received perfect grades.”
She had to face her fate and couldn't return to her favorite school, which made her feel both startled and sad at the same time.
Chapter 2: “The Secret”
For Maxie, a new school year has begun. Until she noticed her parents' "janitor" clothing, she was unaware of the cause behind their relocation. "What is the purpose of your "janitor" uniform? Is that why we relocated here for that purpose?”
"I apologize, but this paycheck is high, and we need the money, plus we didn't want to scare you."
"Well, it does not matter much; I will just have to endure the situation here; however, I will proceed to room 23x on the third floor."
Chapter 3: “Classmates”
As soon as she entered her room, she noticed Ms. Kookie taking attendance.
"So, Grade 6 Iris, a new student is here. Please welcome Maxie. Please make sure she feels at home and treat her nicely.”
"Hello everyone, I'm so glad to have met you," said Maxie
"Hello, Maxie. I'm Ms. Kookie. You will be safe here, so don't worry.”
Chapter 4: “Gigi’
"Ms. Kookie, which seat should I take?" Maxie inquired.
"Maxie, you can sit next to Gigi."
"Yes, please take any seat you like." However, she was unaware of her new friend's existence in Gigi and their friendship.
"Hello! My name is Gigi. I'll provide you with all the information you need about our classmates and our school.”
“Sure, tell me everything,” said Maxie.
Chapter 5: “Recess”
After their class ended, it was time for their recess and to have their snacks. While they were eating, Gigi told her about her first lesson.
“So Maxie, welcome to G6 Iris! I hope you enjoy your time here and survive until the end. In the first lesson, “The Intro,”. First, your classmates are just normal, with some quirks, but some are just weird. But the person you need to avoid the most is Ginger.”
After she said that, Ginger came to their table and said, “Do you want to start a fight because if you do, you are screwed?”
Chapter 6: “Ginger’s Fight”
“Well, I've heard that you have no friends and your parents are janitors!" Everyone smiled and yelled, "DOUBLE KNOCKOUT!" except for Gigi and Maxie. “OOF! OW!”
"Well, you are the ugliest person in the world, even uglier than the current ugliest person right now, and just so you know, I am not a mirror," Maxie replied, trying to stand her ground. Everyone fell silent as they awaited Ginger's return.
“HAHAHAHAHA! She doesn’t realize that there is a CCTV designed to catch people who bully me, so I remain the QUEEN!" said Ginger.
Chapter 7: “The Office”
“Calling Maxie to the office, I repeat Maxie to the office now.”
Maxie went to the office, wondering what she was doing there.
“Maxie, I think you understand why you are here.” Ms. Kookie, the teacher and the principal said.
“Wait, you are the teacher and the principal too???”.
“I have received reports from my daughter that you have been bullying her.”
“Ms. Kookie, that is not true; she started it first, and Ginger is your daughter???”.
“Everyone knows that she is my daughter, but yes, she claimed that you bullied her, so because of that, you will have to stay in school.”
“But it wasn’t true!”
“I’m sorry, but if you do it again, you will be expelled,” warned Ms. Kookie.
Chapter 8: “No Freedom”
She was required to remain with Ms. Kookie after her classes ended so she could be watched. Maxie was taught by Ms. Kookie why bullying was harmful to both her and other people.
"Hopefully, you took the lesson to heart and will never do it again. Alright?
"Alright, Ms. Kookie, goodbye. At last, I'm free, and I can go home!"
"Did you enjoy your day today?" her parents questioned as they waited for her to arrive. While Maxie nodded, all she wanted was to go to bed so she could face another day.
Chapter 9: “Final Exam”
Following that episode, she suffered even more in quizzes and tests, but this time, she received better grades. She was liked practically by all of her classmates up until the final exam and she promised herself to carry on with improvements. Finally, the exam came.
“Okay, so you already know the rules, good luck to you all, and no cheating. You can start now.” Maxie tried to work as fast as she could while checking her answers to make sure they were correct so she could get a perfect score until the final question came.
“What is 1+1? A. 2 B. 11 C. Magellan D. All of the above; E. None of the above; and that you quit.”
Maxie, being scared, trusted her gut and answered E. Time ran out, and she quickly reviewed her answers until she submitted them to Ms. Kookie, the proctor. Ms. Kookie asked, “Are there any more papers to submit?” Gigi also submitted her test paper, hoping that she would get a good score.
Chapter 10: “Discussion”
"Finally, the exam is OVER!!!” Gigi screamed in happiness while Maxie was praying that she would get a perfect score. Gigi asked Maxie, “So how was the exam? Easy, hard, or failing already? What?”
Maxie asked in return, “Well, what did you get for the final question? A, B, C, D, or E?”
Gigi answered, “I got all of the above because A makes sense for math, B makes sense for dumb people, and C makes sense if you are a Filipino, so why not answer D?”
“I answered E because I was scared and that I had to take a risk. Above all, though, I long to return to Tibbar High School.”
“Good luck on getting a perfect score!”
“You as well.”
Chapter 11: “The Results”
So Maxie was just sitting alone because Gigi was absent. She waited and waited until Ms. Kookie announced the results.
“All of the papers here are now graded and unfortunately, some of you didn’t pass. Remember, you cannot change the results, as they are now in the school records. So if you fail, you will be expelled and blacklisted from every school here in the entire universe.” She gave everyone’s exam back, with everyone having different emotions and reactions. Maxie looked at her exam to see her score, and it turned out to be a perfect score. She was silently screaming on the inside that she had gotten a perfect score.
Ms. Kookie immediately said, “So some of you are happy that you passed, some are sad that they almost passed but failed, but I won’t tell you who got a perfect score. At least one of you got a perfect, while another one got a zero. You are now dismissed.”
Chapter 12: “The Graduation”
“Finally, graduation has come! I am finally free from this school and I don’t have to do anything!”.
Maxie screamed in happiness and excitement that she had to leave Ynnub Academy until she was called to go up to the stage to receive her awards. Ms. Kookie, giving her awards, said, “Maxie, I present you with a choice, you can go back to Tibbar High School or stay here with Gigi and continue on your journey with us. Which one will you choose?”
Maxie, being scared, chooses to continue at Ynnub Academy, as she has met new friends and got higher grades than before at her old school. Then she receives her awards, and Ms. Kookie shouts, “SHE IS STAYING!” Everyone, including Gigi, clapped for Maxie, as she was happy that she was staying here and still being friends with her.
Gigi immediately went to Maxie and said, “Congratulations for everything that you have done. I hope you enjoyed your time here and that we will continue to be friends. Although my time here has ended, I hope you will still keep my lessons and that you will teach other new students and classmates about our time here and the school itself. See you soon, Maxie.” After she said that, she left out of nowhere, and Maxie couldn’t find her anymore. So Maxie said in her final words before moving to Grade 7, “I have enjoyed my time here and that I should move on soon, but I think that I did a good job and became an inspiration to other people like you. Goodbye, for now, Grade 6 Iris!”
THE END
