Chapter 74 Cheating?


    The next day, the SAT practice test began as scheduled, following the same format as the real exam the Reading and Writing section first, followed by Math


    The first section went smoothly. Cameron wanted to show just a bit of progress, so she held back on purpose and ended up getting most of the answers wrong


    While Cameron was working through the Math section, carefully calcting how dry multiple choice questions she needed to get right to hit her target score, a crumpled ball of paper suddenlynded on her desk


    She was confused. And before she could even see what it was, the proctor quickly walked up to her and said sharply. "Don''t movel


    Although Langford Academy was an elite school, the teachers here weren''t permissive, they were really strict. Otherwise, Langford Academy wouldn''t have the highest college eptance rate in the country


    "I didn''t move," Cameron said calmly.


    "What''s this?" The proctor picked up the ball of paper from her desk.


    Cameron shook her head. "I have no idea."


    Hearing themotion, other students turned to look at them.


    The proctor said sternly, "What are you looking at? The exam is still in progress. There''s still an hour left-keep working Everyone quickly looked down and went back to their papers.


    The teacher turned her attention back to Cameron. She unwrapped the paper and saw answers to the math questions. She was enraged and snapped, "You''re cheating. How dare you cheat right under my nose?!


    Cameron''s expression remained unchanged. She deftly twirled the pen in her hand and said, cool andposed, "I wasn''t cheating."


    The teacher shoved the crumpled paper toward her. "You were not cheating? Then what''s this?"


    Cameron nced at the answers on the paper and replied evenly, "Either someone was trying to cheat and tossed it to me by mistake, or someone''s trying to frame me."


    She raised her eyebrows slightly and added, "Which do you think it is, ma''am?” "Oh, so what you''re saying is-you''re being framed?" the teacher scoffed.


    Cameron nodded. "That''s what it looks like."


    She thought, ''Cheating? Who would be dumb enough to cheat on a mock exam? Even if they do well now, the real test will expose them anyway. So this must be a setup.


    ''But who would do that? I''ve pissed off quite a few people, actually. Hard to tell who it might be right now.''


    The proctor said, "Well, if it''s a setup, we can settle it right now." She raised the crumpled paper and asked, "Whose is this?"


    No one answered.


    The proctor continued, "No one wants to confess? You all forget we have cameras in here? Are you going to stand up yourself, or should I have the footage sent over immediately?"


    The ssroom wentpletely silent. Almost a minuteter, a rustling sound came from behind Cameron''s right side- someone stood up.


    Cameron looked back and was surprised to find it was Zach. ''What the hell is this guy doing? Why''d he throw that paper at me?'' she thought.


    The proctor marched over to Zach and pped the paper on his desk. "The paper was yours? Why did you throw it to him?" Zach: "He is my ssmate. He is bad at math and asked me to tell him the answers during the exam, so..."
