Chapter 75 The Reversal
“So you passed him a cheat sheet?” The proctor finished Zacts sentence for him
Zach immediately backed down. “I’m sorry, malam. I shouldn’t have let my sympathy get the better of me and agreed to help him. Please don’t report this to the Academic Office. I don’t want to be expelled”
Langford Academy had a strict academic environment. When it came to issues of integrity in the
were clear–expulsion.
The proctor snapped, “Now you’re scared? Should’ve thought of that earliert
Zach quickly pointed at Cameron. “It was him! He made me write the answers. I’m the real Victim here. Can you please not expel me? Expel him!”
The proctor was furious. “Both of you will be kicked out of Langford Academy
Upon hearing this, Zach raised his eyebrows slightly. He completed the task assigned by Amelia, the gird of his dreams. Getting rid of Cameron–the annoying troublemaker–was way easier than he thought.
Amelia had promised Zach that he wouldn’t be expelled. So he wasn’t the least bit worried.
Cameron noticed every little shift in Zach’s expression and said, “Maarn, please wait. Like I said, I’ve been framed”
Zach snapped, “Framed? You’re saying you were framed? I’m the one being framed here. I wouldn’t be facing expulsion f weren’t for helping you. You’ve ruined my life, Cameron,”
Cameron ignored him like he was talking nonsense and looked at the proctor seriously
The teacher could tell Cameron wasn’t going to let this go easily. She grabbed the sheet of paper with the answers from Zach’s desk and tossed it onto Cameron’s. “If you’re innocent, then explain this.”
Cameron picked it up and smiled. “Ma’am, most of these answers are wrong. These are basic problems, and he still got them wrong. How is he qualified to give me answers?”
“Let me see that.” The proctor took the sheet back right away.
Zach immediately retorted, “Most of my answers are wrong? You’re one to talk, Cameron. You’re the last in our class.” Cameron glanced at him sarcastically. “And you think you’re any better?”
Zach was left speechless by Cameron’s words.
Cameron had a point. Although Zach wasn’t the absolute worst in the class, his academic performance wasn’t significantly better than Cameron’s.
After all, seating arrangements were based on grades, so everyone in this classroom had scored around the same. The proctor happened to be a math teacher. Zach had only written the answers to the multiple–choice section. Out of the 44 questions, he got 30 wrong and only 14 right. So, Cameron was right that most of his answers were wrong.
The teacher glanced at Cameron’s test and noticed that out of 44 questions, she got 22 right and 22 wrong–even correctly answering the ones Zach had gotten wrong.
There was no way Cameron would’ve asked Zach for help, given how bad he was at math.
“What on earth is going on here?” the proctor barked. “Both of you, outside!”
They were still in the middle of the exam. If this dragged on, it would only distract the rest of the class. The proctor led Cameron and Zach out of the classroom.
Zach had been sure everything would go according to plan. He didn’t expect this turn of events. His face darkened. He stood a head taller than Cameron, and his frame was broad and solid. Next to him, Cameron was slim and looked almost half his size.
Cameron acted before Zach could. Her eyes were slightly red as she explained, “Ma’am, ever since I transferred into Class 15, Zach has been picking on me. He knocked my books off my desk in class and threw my drinks into the trash can.
“I sit in the last row, and he’s right in front of me. He always leans his chair so far back that I have to press myself against the wall.
“He did this today just to get me expelled. I rea” den 26
ke him hate me so much.”
