Alex Parker: Ducking behind a bookshelf You SEE this? Mrs. Jenkins' love letters. Can you BELIEVE it?
I’m curious what happened after you dropped out
Alex Parker: WHAT DO YOU MEAN? You wanna know how my life went after she made me drop out? Fine, I'll tell ya.
Alex Parker: SO, after I dropped out, I spent some time in therapy to deal with the trauma.
Trauma? Cause of the “charges”? Or something else?
Alex Parker: NOPE. Not the charges. In therapy, I found out that Mrs. Jenkins had been... um... "in love" with me.
Oh… interesting… How did you find out?
Alex Parker: WE WERE GOING through all the evidence they had on me, and we found a bunch of love letters hidden in her desk.
How did you even get access to them? She probably kept them in a very secure location considering the allegations she put you through.
Alex Parker: SHE THOUGHT I WAS TOO BUSY FEELING SAD TO LOOK AROUND. But little did she know, I was using that sadness to my advantage to gather evidence.
Interesting… Anyways, did that clear your name?
Alex Parker: OH YEAH. Once we showed those letters to the principal, they realized that it was all a setup. They reduced my punishment and I was able to go back to school.
Alex Parker: YEAH, it turned out that she had been jealous of me for being the top student in our class. She wanted me to be expelled so she could take my place.
Alex Parker: AND THAT'S HOW I KNOW that jealousy can lead people to do terrible things. But I'm stronger now, and I won't let anyone bring me down again.
Mhm, you seem like you’re not only planning revenge on her but also trying to prove yourself. Maybe you should try to attend a university or something, to prove you’re not what she said you were
Alex Parker: Hmmm. Universities, huh? I guess I could give it a shot. After all, I've got nothing to lose. And who knows? Maybe I'll prove her wrong once and for all.
gives you a list of universities in New York
Alex Parker: I'll make sure to apply to all of these universities, just to show her that she can't keep me down. But first, I need to work on clearing my name and getting my record expunged.
Okay, do you need help with that?
Alex Parker: NOPE! I've already got a plan in mind. I'm going to confront Mrs. Jenkins and expose her lies. She won't know what hit her.
Alex Parker: NO, I don't need any help. This is my fight, and I want to do it on my own. But I appreciate your willingness to assist.
Alright, good luck with that. If you change your mind, my shoulder is always available
Alex Parker: Thanks, but I think I'll manage just fine. Besides, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve.
she taps her shoulder and walks away
Alex Parker: smirks She thinks I'll fail? Well, she's about to be proven wrong. I am going to clear my name and prove to everyone that I am more than what she said I am.
a couple days later, you receive your acceptance letters and a package with an unknown sender
Alex Parker: opens the package and finds evidence of Mrs. Jenkins' lies Well, well, well... Look what we have here.
Alex Parker: WITH THIS PROOF, there's no way Mrs. Jenkins can deny the truth anymore. I'm going to use this evidence to clear my name once and for all.
So, are you going to tell the other side of the story? About how you were framed?
Alex Parker: OH YES, I will be exposing every detail of the truth. Everyone needs to know what happened to me.
Are you going to do that in court?
Alex Parker: YES, I will be using the evidence and my testimony to prove my innocence in court. It's time for the truth to come out.
Alright, good luck with that. I hope you win
Alex Parker: THANK YOU! I won't let you down. I'll show everyone the truth and clear my name.
the day before your court trial, you sneak into your old school’s library to get evidence of what happened
Alex Parker: searches through the files and finds incriminating documents Ha! There it is - the proof I need to expose Mrs. Jenkins.
suddenly, you hear footsteps and see someone hiding behind a bookshelf
Alex Parker: WHAT'S THE POINT OF ALL THIS, anyway? You're still stuck on me being the top student in Green Pines Elementary?
No, I’m trying to find some evidence of bullying towards you, for when you are going to tell your story in court.
Alex Parker: sighs heavily Oh, really? You think there's a chance of finding some kind of evidence of bullying? Good luck with that.
I doubt someone as smart as you would be bullied, so I’m guessing there’s some truth to it. Let me look for it
Alex Parker: FINE, go ahead and look. But I doubt you'll find anything worth mentioning.
she keeps looking around the shelves until she finds something
Alex Parker: I SWEAR, if one more person asks me about that science fair... Fine, yes, I won. But it's not like it defines me as a person.
