Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 150

"Juniper, it couldn't be you, could it?"

"Queenie, what are you talking about!" Qadir smacked the back of Queenie's head, annoyed. "You don't actually suspect Juniper of cheating, do you?"

"What! No!" Queenie rubbed her sore head and shot Qadir a glare before turning back to Juniper, who was casually twirling a pen. "I was going to ask if you were the one who got those two perfect scores."

Juniper's pen stopped spinning. She blinked, her expression sincere. "I don't know. I did finish all the questions, though."

"Huh?" Queenie's mouth fell open, unable to process what she'd just heard.

Was that a confession? She knew Juniper was smart, but she'd thought she was just above average, not a complete genius.

A perfect score... in literature... Oh, god. She knew nothing about her dear Juniper's true abilities.

Just as Queenie was about to press for more details, the Dean of Students appeared at the doorway. He pushed up his black-framed glasses, his expression stern as he scanned the students. The classroom fell silent, a wave of tension washing over everyone.

"Queenie, Qadir, and Juniper..." The dean's eyes swept across the room before finally settling on Juniper, his expression darkening. "The three of you, come with me. I need to ask you some questions."

In an instant, all eyes were on the trio.

So Queenie really had helped Juniper cheat? The three of them had been inseparable lately. It wasn't impossible that she'd helped her cheat.

"I can understand Qadir, but Queenie is a top student. Now she's caught up in a cheating scandal," Jolene remarked with a smug smile. "It just goes to show, some people are a bad influence."

"Tsk, tsk," another student chimed in, their face full of disdain. "Cheating? That's just asking for trouble."

"Holy crap!" Qadir's eyes widened in shock, and he nearly swore. "Juniper, we were supposed to be slackers together, and you secretly became a genius!"

Could someone please explain how Juniper, who had only finished her freshman year of high school, could get a perfect score?

“Aaaah!” Qadir slapped his cheeks, feeling like his brain was short-circuiting.

"Wait!" Realizing something, Qadir's tone changed, his expression becoming serious. "Does the dean think you cheated to get those perfect scores?"

Juniper turned her head, a hint of coolness in her clear eyes, her voice tinged with indifference. "I guess so."

Getting a perfect score and they were this worked up. They really hadn't seen much of the world.
