章 64: CLASS QUIZ

The quiz was already in session as Emma, Derek and Maya stepped into the large classroom. Their entrance which seemed to entrall the other students present, didn't faze the lectuter who was annoyed already at having some students late for his quiz.

"Why are you late?" He asked, his attention solely on Derek and Emma. "And who is she?" He queried further, diverting his attention from the duo to Maya, who he accurately thought was a new face.

"I..." Emma was about saying, when Derek rushed in with his own statement, cutting her off.

"Our car broke down on the way; we had to wait for a mechanic to fix it." He had said, keeping a straight face; that a person, apart from the two girls, would think that he was all truth, and no lies.

"Oh, okay. And she?" The history professor asked, bubbling his head in the direction of Maya.

"She is my cousin. She's a new student too." Derek replied, casting a furtive glance at his cousin.
