Looking around the classroom I see everyone pulling out their homework from last night. I reach into my backpack, grab my assignment, and set it on my desk. Checking it over everything looks complete and then I turn the paper over. My heart drops. The entire back page is incomplete. Scrambling to see if I was missing something, I turned to my right and looked at my classmate in shock. Luckily for me, he let me take his answers off his paper.

Everyone knows what type of student that I am. I have never been known for cheating it was just this one
