My Ex Next Door-33 Chapter 33: The Principal vs. The Triplets

The triplets removed their seatbelts off and wait for their uncle Ken to open to door.

They are in the school Now, first they will need to speak to the principal so they can assign them to Novie's class

Ken carried Alexa in his arm, while Leo held his other hand and Ethan was holding his shirt.

If it's not for the looks, everyone will think that the triplets are his kids.

They went to the principal office and knocked. When it opened, Ken saw Novie inside the principal office.

-

Meanwhile, Novie was called to the principal office regarding the seminars she will attend. She stayed in his office for almost an hour before the man decided to talk to her.

"That would be all Ms. Mcsalter," the principal said and handed her the paper containing the information of the seminar.

She stood up and walked to the door.

(What the hell! I wasted a lot of time watching him when all he wanted to do was to give me this piece of paper? Why he didn't give it earlier) her nose crinkled.

She opened the door and saw Ken with the triplets, her eyebrow crinkled and looked at Ken but the man was not looking at her.

"Ms.Mcsalter please make sure that you have everything you need for the trip" John suddenly reminded her.

Novie's eyes went round. She forgot to inform Ken about it since there's still a lot of time before the trip.

When she looked at him the man's eyes past her looking at John. She gulped.

"Ken what are you doing here?" she asked in a stuttered voice.

Ken sighed and looked at her, "Daniella wants to enroll the triplets here. Can I talk to you later?" Ken asked she could hear the annoyance of his voice

After Novie left, Ken went inside the room with the triplets, they occupied the empty chair while Ken introduced himself and handed the papers of the triplets to the principal.

The atmosphere is too heavy, and Ken could see the amusement in John's face.

"Mr.Chu I am afraid the triplets are too young to be at Ms. Mcsalter class. We have a nursery they can attend" John said and took the form they need to fill out

"Have you seen their records?" Ken asked, the triplets are gifted, their IQ are higher than the average kids so he's confused why the principal is not allowing them to enroll.

"I saw it and I don't understand why they need to enroll in a public school if their parents built an Academy for Gifted Children" John replied.

Ken's ear turned red. He was not expecting that he needs to explain himself and he doesn't have a plan to do it

"look Mr.Castro this is a public school and you can't refuse a kid. So kindly sign the papers so we can leave" he spoke in a cold voice.

The principal straightened up and folded his arm.

"I am not refusing them but they need to be in the right class," John replied.

Ken's patience is running out if he refused one more time, he's certain that his fist will fly to his cheeks.

"my sister included a recommendation from the head of the department of education that the triplets can enroll here under Ms McSalter class. Now signed that paper. I don't want to waste my time here" he explained, the coldness of his voice exceeded the temperature of the room.

"Mr. Chu please call their mother and inform them we have a law we cannot void. For the first grader, they should be six years old and above."

Ken stood up, if he doesn't, he might kill the guy in front of the triplets.

"wait here, I will ask my sister to rewrite that law" Ken rushed out of the room and asked the triplets to behave.

After Ken left the triplets looked at the principal.

Ethan opened his backpack and discreetly and took out a syringe. Then he turned to Leo and Alexa and whisper.

"I have a plan so we can in Aunt Novie's class. Are you with me?" Ethan whispered. The two agreed to his plan.

"I extracted venom from the spider in mommy's lab. I read this can make anyone high. Now once he looked drug, Alexa will take a video and we can use it to blackmail him, ok?" Ethan explained.

The two looked at him and nodded.

After some time, Alexa lay on the ground.

"Mr. Principal my stomach is hurting, please help me" Alexa spoke in a hurtful voice while tears formed in her eyes. Her small body curled up on the ground while her hands were pressing her stomach.

John went closer to her and sat on the floor.

"We have a clinic here" he stated and about to carry her when suddenly Leo injected a syringe on his neck.

John looked at Leo with wide eyes, while his hand removed the syringe from his neck.

Seconds later, the principal fell unconscious on the floor

Then Leo turned to his brother Ethan, " what happened to him?" Ethan shrugged his shoulder and took his table out.

"I don't think he's supposed to pass out"

Ethan spoke while his little fingers were busy the glass screen, searching for something.

Minutes later. His brows snapped together

"Oh! I made a mistake, I took a snake venom instead of a spider." Ethan replied and fixed his glasses.

The triplets looked at each other with wide eyes, seems like they realized what they have done.

"what are we going to do? Should we call the police, ambulance or mommy?" Alexa asked in a panic tone, she bites her finger while her knee trembles.

"just give him a pillow" Ethan replied while typing on his tablet

Alex's grabbed the small pillow from the couch and throws it at the Principal, it landed on the face covering John's face.

Ethan stared at the pillow.

"that works too," Ethan said.

"ok, I need to call mommy. I don't know exactly the effect of the venom" Ethan said and dialed his mother's number.

After some time, Daniella answered the phone and Ethan pressed the speaker button to let his siblings listen.

"mommy I have something to ask you" Ethan started, he played with his other hand, nervous of what his mother might say

"what is it, Baby?" Daniella asked.

"what will happen when I accidentally injected the snake venom to a person?" Ethan asked.

There was a moment of silence before his mother sighed.

"where is your uncle Ken?" She asked.

Ethan widened his eyes and looked at his sibling.

"uncle Ken.. ha ha.. he's outside he said he will call you since the principal doesn't want us to be in Aunt Novie's class"

Ethan stuttered while sweat formed on his forehead

"That Principal. How dare he reject you? Put him on the phone right now!!!" his mother exasperated.

Ethan's hand shook, while his eyes stared at the unconscious principal.

"mommy he can't, we injected the venom to him" Ethan spoke faintly, he can't lie to his mother because he knows that eventually, she'll find out the truth

Her mother blows a sigh

"Don't worry baby. I exchange all the syringe you brought before you left the house, it's only a tranquilizer. Now behave and I'll keep this to your father."

The little boy said his goodbye to his mother and turned to his sister.

"Ok, it's a tranquilizer so we move on to plan B" saying that, Ethan went to the principal desk and took the form for the 1st grader.

"Leo come here and imitate this handwriting" Ethan ordered Leo, the boy has been watching their mother and Aunt Peyton all the time, so he knows how to imitate a person's handwriting including their mothers'.

The boy stood on the chair and looked over the papers. Ethan shifted to his sister Alexa who was busy checking her hair.

"Al, go outside and stand guard. Stop everyone from coming in. After we finish here, we will go to the admin and find Uncle, Ken." Ethan instructed his sister, the girl stood and left.

Ethan cleaned up the mess his siblings made while Leo filling up the form.

Outside, Alexa's face showed terror after seeing his uncle coming with Novie, and the two seems fighting based on the anger expression in Novie's face.

Alexa started to feel her heart pounding, thinking if her uncle Ken finds out about the incident inside. she bites her lower lips called out her mother.

(Mommy!)
