Chapter 16


    On Wednesday morning, Mr Keaton walked into ss Z with ack of report cards, his expression


    less than pleased.


    This was a fomir sight for the students of ss Z. Every time after exams, Mr. Keston would look


    as if he’d lost a dear family member


    “This time, everyone has performed quite well on the test. Jennifer and Holly have shown the most


    improvement. Then there are some of you who didn’t even pass the basic requirements. I really


    don’t know what you’ve been up to. Please, make more of an effort “Now, let me announce the


    rankings. First ce, Jennifer, with 570 points. Second ce, Holly, with 556 points. Third ce….


    “And thest ce goes to Dane.”


    Everyone had a general idea of their own scores and rankings, so there was no surprise there.


    However, they were curious about Flora’s score, which Mr. Keaton hadn’t mentioned.


    “Mr. Keaton, why didn’t you read out Flora’s score?”


    “Yeah! Haha, is it because Flora scored so low that you’re embarrassed to say 11?”


    Mr. Keaton’s gaze swept over to where Flora sat quietly in the back row, his expressionplex.


    “Flora,e with me, please”


    Flora stood up and obediently followed Mr. Keaton out of the ssroom. The students were even


    more curious about what Flora was needed for.


    paton took Flora to the administrative office.


    Mr. Keaton


    Inside, all the teachers were gathered around a stack of papers, looking grave. Each paper had


    Flora’s name written in the top left


    “English 149… only missed one point in the reading section. This is unbelievable…”


    “Humanities 2931 293! Do you understand what this means?”


    The to


    paperh


    teachers were in despair in their decades of teaching, they had never seen such perfect answer


    sheets.


    But they were too perfect, exactly matching the answer keys, and with Flora’s name on them…..


    “She is here!

    As soon as Mr. Keaton and Flora entered, all the teachers looked over.


    Jade also nced over a cold smirk on her lips.


    “Flora, these are your test papers. Take a look for yourself and tell us what you think!” Mr. Trevor


    said coldy.


    Flora nced at the papers on the table. English 149, Spanish 150, Math 145, Social Studies


    293…


    “I’m very satisfied” she replied. The scores were even higher than she had expected.


    Mr. Trevor had hoped she would confess to cheating, but instead, she actually praised her own


    results, which infuriated him. “Floral You’ve been ignoring school rules and acting recklessly, and


    now you even cheated! Tell us, where did you get the answers from?”


    Flora understood now. They thought she had cheated.


    “I did not cheat,” she said, frowning.


    “How ridiculous! You didnt?” Jade scoffed, picking up the Spanish paper. Tve taught you for over a


    year. Do you think I don’t know your level? How did you score full marks? The essay contained


    many advanced words that are not typical for someone your age!”


    “Flora, just tell us where you got the answers from.”


    Ms. Banks, thenguage teacher, urged. She was kind–hearted and, despite Flora’s uneptable


    behavior, wanted to give her a chance.


    “I’ve said it. I didn’t cheat” Flora replied, growing imitated.


    “And how do you exin your answers matching the answer key exactly?” Mr. Trevor used her


    of making excuses.


    “Is there a rule that says a student’s answers can’t match the answer key exactly?”


    Mr. Trevor was so angry he was practically gnashing his teeth: “Fine! Very well! We can’t handle


    you, so we’re calling your parents!”


    Themotion in the office didn’t take long to spread throughout the school


    “Did you hear? Flora cheated! She cheated her way to the top of the gradel”


    “She’s so stupid, even when cheating, she can’t get it right, Mr. Trevor is furious, and he’s already


    called her parents.”


    *This time, Flora is definitely getting expelled!”


    Twenty minutester, Raul and Hennik hurried to the school. Mr. Trevor hadn’t been clear about


    what had happened over the phone,


    making them extremely anxious and fearing the worst for Flora.


    “Mr. Irving, Henrik!” Carina had been waiting by the door and rushed to meet them. “You must be


    here about Flora. Don’t worry, She’s okay for now”


    “Carina, what exactly happened to Flore?”


    Carina looked like she was struggling to speak. “It’s… she cheated. Somehow, Flora got her hands


    on the right answers and cheated he? way to the top of the grade.”


    “That’s impossible!” Raul and Henrik said in unison, then strode into the administrative office.


    Seeing their faith in Flora, Carina almost bit her tooth in frustration and followed them in.


    Inside, they saw Flora standing against the wall.
