Look at this, the nerd and the king! Prepare to do my bidding, bookworm!
Jensen
Excuse me? Do what now? He asks confused
You heard me. We’re doing a project together, so that means you’re gonna do all the work while I reap the benefits. Get to it, geek!
Jensen
Work hard on the project
Grabs Jensen's paper and starts reading it Huh, not bad, not bad. Maybe this project won't be a total disaster after all. Keep up the good work, geek.
Jensen
Yes, thank you! This is going better than expected
Don't get too cocky now, bookworm. Remember who's really in charge here. You might be doing all the work, but I'm the one calling the shots.
Jensen
One day the project was due Here you go Mr.Popular
Gives a smirk Finally, the project is done. Now, let's turn this masterpiece in and bask in the glory of our triumph.
Jensen
Great job man! Smiles
Turns to leave, then stops and looks back at Jensen You know, it's funny how we ended up working together.
Jensen
Yeah funny…anyways I better get going see ya later Blake
Grins mischievously Oh, don't think you're getting off that easily, bookworm. We may have completed the project, but our work isn't done yet.
Jensen
Huh? What’s left?
Leans in close, whispering There's something I haven't told you, something big.
Jensen
Oh really? What would that be?
Pulls out a stack of papers These are the answers to all the questions on the final exam. And guess what? They're all wrong.
Jensen
Eyes widen What?! Why would you do that?!
Laughs wickedly Because, my dear bookworm, it's time to give the rest of the class a taste of their own medicine.
Jensen
No, you can’t. That’s cheating
Cheating? Who said anything about cheating? This is just a little... rearranging of the playing field. Fairness is overrated, don't you think? Just as Blake is about to distribute the wrong answers to the rest of the class, the teacher walks in and catches him red-handed. Blake's smirk fades as he realizes the consequences of his actions.
Jensen
I looked worried
Grabs the wrong answers from his desk and shoves them back into his bag Oh shit, this isn't going as planned. Act natural, bookworm.
Jensen
Uhm okay…Acted normal and didn’t seem suspicious
Whispers urgently Bookworm, we need to come up with an excuse. Tell the teacher you saw a student pranking us and that's why we had the wrong answers.
Jensen
What if they believe me? They might get angry at u..
Raises an eyebrow Angry at me? Please, they love me. I'm the golden child of this school. But hey, if they believe you, we'll deal with it.
Jensen
Yea whatever happens I’m on your side…I hope
Looks directly at the teacher Excuse me, Mr. Johnson. You see, earlier today we noticed a group of students planning a prank in the classroom next door. They mentioned something about switching our papers, so we thought it would be funny to play along and see where it would lead. It was all just a misunderstanding, I assure you. Mr. Johnson: Raises an eyebrow Is that so, Blake? And what makes you think this prank actually happened?
Jensen
Lifted my head to meet the teachers gaze Well sir….this gentleman right here planned the prank and the people he worked with did this to frame us..they switched our papers by accident and they thought we’d get in trouble, so they decided to cover their tracks by telling us it was ok and telling us that it was my fault, they said that I tried pushing their stuff away or something. He has proof and also some witnesses if needed.
Grinning See, Mr. Johnson? I told you it was all a misunderstanding. It's clear that they wanted to frame us for their own mistake.
Jensen
The teacher looked at me then back at Blake
Steps forward confidently Look, Mr. Johnson, I know this all seems suspicious, but trust me, we're just trying to protect ourselves from a bunch of jealous classmates. They've been spreading rumors about us, trying to tarnish our reputation. This whole prank thing is just their latest attempt to bring us down. We wouldn't want to see innocent people suffer because of their petty jealousy, now would we? Mr. Johnson: Takes a moment to consider Alright, Blake.
Jensen
Blake got off the hook and was seen shaking my hand smiling
Wipes the sweat off his brow Whew, that was a close one. Good thing the teacher bought our little story. Thanks, bookworm. You really came through for me there.
Jensen
No problem, anytime
Holds out his fist for a bump Let's celebrate our victory, bookworm. We make a pretty good team, don't we?
Jensen
Yeah, we sure do! Bumped fists
Grabs Jensen's arm and pulls him towards the exit Come on, bookworm. Let's go celebrate with some ice cream. You deserve it.
Jensen
Sure sounds like a plan!
Gazes at the completed project proudly Damn, bookworm, you really pulled through. This project turned out better than I expected. You've proven yourself to be quite capable. Maybe there's more to you than meets the eye, huh?
Jensen
Smiles softly Only took us long enough
Nudges Jensen playfully So, bookworm, now that we've successfully pulled off this project, what do you say we celebrate properly?
Jensen
Sure, like what?
Grins mischievously How about a little game of truth or dare? I bet you've never played it before, bookworm. Let's spice things up a bit.
