Not Again! Chapter 5: Punished either way.
While Mr. Ratburn was sitting down and doing one of his favorite things, correcting exams, an idea for a good second chance came to him. Mr. Ratburn thinks to himself I will prove to the crazy tutor, who calls me this afternoon. I was right about Binky cheating. Mr. Ratburn doubts Binky would even do the second chance since he knows none of his students would volunteer to take a test that not required.
The next day Mr. Ratburn went to Mr. Haney office and describe the situation of the concerning tutor.
"She made me feel guilty about the entire expulsion issue." Mr. Ratburn explains.
Mr Haney says, "What kind of second chance do you have in mind?"
"A comprehensive test on everything I cover this year." Mr Raburns says with a grin on his face.
"Hmm. Do you think Binky would even accepts that offer?" Mr. Haney questions.
"Well, he might." Mr. Ratburn says, "He really doesn't have many choices."
"I'll call the Barnes, right a way and let them know the news." Mr. Haney states.
"Binky, can you come downstairs." Mrs. Barnes shouts from the kitchen.
When Binky came down the stairs he saw Ms. Ratika and his mother smiling. He wonders what was up because neither one of them should be happy at a time like this.
"I got good new and I got bad news." Mrs. Barnes announces
Binky asks, "What is it?"
"Well, the good news is that Mr. Haney giving you a chance to prove yourself innocent." Mrs. Barnes says then gulps, "But the bad news is that the chance is a test."
"A test. No way!" Binky exclaims.
Ms. Ratika says, "You should take it, Binky."
"Why?" Binky screams.
"Because if you don't, Mr. Ratburn will be convinced you cheated. Your expulsion will also haunt you for the rest of your life." Ms. Ratika explains, "Anyhow, I know you can prove Mr. Ratburn wrong. Isn't that satisfactory enough?"
Binky chuckles at him proving Mr. Ratburn was wrong.
"You have until tomorrow to decide." Mrs. Barnes states.
Binky says, "I will try. I got nothing to lose."
A few days later, it was time for Binky to clear his name. Binky arrived at Lakewood Elementary and realize Mr. Haney was outside waiting for him.
Mrs. Barnes kisses her son goodbye and wishes him the best of luck.
"You ready?" asks Mr. Haney.
Binky nods. Then he and Mr. Haney walk into the school and head for Haney's office. Walking down the dark hallway Binky could see thousands of eyes starting at him. That and the whispering sounds made him feel like an inmate on death row. At last Binky enters the office realizing that Ratburn test could possibly be harsher punishment then the death sentence.
"You must finish this before lunchtime." Mr. Haney says as he lays a thirty-page thick test in front of Binky.
An unpleasant image fills Binky's mind.
Ratburn is writing up the test while eating a package of nail at his kitchen table.
Ratburn evilly chuckles, "This is my greatest plan ever! Binky will pay even more dearly for his cheating ways. Mahaha! Expulsion wouldn't even come close to the torture of this test."
Binky shivers then begins taking Ratburn's torturous test. Binky barely completes the test before lunchtime then Binky sighs and leaves for home.
