When Gigi and Bibi got their test results, they were shocked . Their grades were shockingly poor , not at all what they should have been .

“What happened to us?” quizzed Gigi .

“I don’t know either , maybe they did something wrong with us ,” exclaimed Bibi .

“Let’s go and ask teacher A what happened ,” said Bibi .

They wondered and search about this. It has puzzled them deeply.

Chapter 2: Wondering and searching

Gigi and Bibi decided to ask teacher A for help .

“With our usual grade, it is does not allow for us to have such a bad grade ,” hinted Gigi .

“We think there may some thing wrong with the teacher who corrected the test paper, or did she accidentally switch ours with the other’s grades?” wondered Bibi .

“That is what you did! After the summer holiday your grades had fallen like these ! You do not reflect at all but instead questioned the teacher ?” argued teacher A .

“It is too abnormal. she never does these things to us. She is acting strangely. I wonder why.” blurted out Gigi .

“Yes , so there must be something wrong! It is not the teacher, so it must be the student .” added Bibi .

“We have to look for the best grades of this test, then find the students which the grades belong to.” Said Bibi .

They go and find the list of the grades of this test grade .

The result must be useful to them.

Chapter 3 : Bada

Finding the list did not take them lots of time, but finding the right person took a huge amount of  their time. They compared the results of this exam with the previous ones one by one. Among them, there are many students’ grades, which have increased during the summer holiday. The grade increase is a good thing, but this time it also increase the difficulties of their searching.

“Look at this, ”gasped Gigi. “I have not seen this name. Who is he?”

“Bada? I have not seen it yet,” hinted Bibi. “But his result is very nice.”

“So strange…”said Gigi.

“Maybe I can ask his classmates to prove his grade,” deflected Bibi.

After their discussion, they wondered who is Bada and how is Bada like. They go to the classroom in which is Bada’s homeroom, and there happened to be some students whom Gigi and Bibi know and they try to ask them how is Bada like.

“We are so sorry that we disturb your rest. We have something urgent we need to ask you guys,” said Gigi.

“Is Bada here? We are looking for him and we have a lot of things that we would want to know more about him,” added Bibi.

Gigi and Bibi asked what they are looking for and are waiting for the feedback of the students.

“I am Bada. What is wrong?” asked with a deep voice.

A gloomy looking boy stepped out of the crowd. With an awkward smile, Gigi and Bibi felt uncomfortable because of his smile, it was awkward and too strange!

“Why do you want to know me? Did I do something strange?” asked Bada.

“No no, you haven’t. We are just interested with your test result,” replied Bibi.

“It is none of your business.  Why do you wonder about this?” yelled Bada.

Gigi thought that if they continued to ask, then they might get in trouble, so she said goodbye to Bada then took Bibi out of the classroom.

“How strange is he!” confessed Gigi. “There is no chance for us to ask him face to face, but we can take another step,” said Gigi. “You just wait for my message,” said Gigi.

Gigi followed Bada around for the next few days. Finally, one day, when Bada and his friends are walking in the school corridor, he talks about his exams and accidentally reveals that he cheated and bought the teacher.

This shocked both of his friends and Gigi. Gigi recorded what he said as proof of what he had done.

Gigi and Bibi went to the Head Master’s Office and handed in the recorded audio.

“The culprit is Bada! He bribed Teacher A to tamper our grades!barked Gigi.

“I know, you don’t have to worry, I will give them relative punishment. You will eventually get the grades you both deserve,” said the headmaster.

Chapter Four: Punishment

The culprit was Bada. The Principal also interviewed Bada and Teacher A separately. In order to prevent this unfair practice from happening again, the Principal gave them a severe punishment —— Dismissal.
