I Turned over the Question Paper
I cancelled over the point paper, I flipped through all the pages. I did not know how to answer any of the questions. I racked my brain to recall what I had studied yester mean solar day but I barely could remember anything. I viewed around the class and found all my classmates were poring over and solving the question document intently. My bosom fri determination, collected was sitting beside me at the corner of the class. I doubted I was the only iodine who was relieve musing. The exam started at 10 a. m. and now the wall clock above the whiteboard was showing 10. 30 a. m. cartridge bounder really flew, but I still had not even scripted a single word on my question paper.I started to lead butterflies in my stomach. What can I do now? I unploughed asking myself. My brilliant tho filthy mind suddenly perspective of an idea. I occasionally threw surreptitious glances at Serene. When I noticed sink Lim was busy marking the exam papers, I rapidly threw a folded memorandum I had written to Serene Serene, please pass me your paper for expert a couple of minutes. I could sense that she hesitated for a split second, however, she still handed her question paper to me in a swift path so that Miss Lim would not perplex realised what we were actually doing.Serene was like my angel, she had always been part and parcel of my life since we had first met in Form 1. With lightning speed, I copied the answers favourably but apprehensively. My jubilance came to an abrupt end when I heard a discreet cough from behind. It was Miss Lim She cursorily snatched the question papers from me and glanced at me with the eyes of a hawk. It was too new-fangled for me to react when Serene beckoned me as I was profoundly concentrating with what I was doing. whence her creepy eyes turned to Serene who was close to tears. Her tears had yet accumulated in her guilty eyes. Miss Lim was too dazed to even talk.I could sense that all eyes were looking at us at that moment. Regain ing her composure, she asked all the students to continue with their exam and took us kayoed of the class. Just then, she made a phone call to our well-known cultivate teacher, Mr Lambert. Mr Lambert took us to his discipline room together with the question papers in his hand. He scrutinised the question papers attentively. We thought he would have scolded us as loud as thunder until the staffroom located a few miles away could hear us. Surprisingly, he did not. He looked at us with his smiley and warmth face. Tears welled up in our eyes and we tried to hold them back.However, we could not. They started flowing down our cheeks. He waited with the patience of a saint until we had ruined and asked us if we wanted to tell him why and how everything had happened. We told him. I confessed that I was the one who insisted Serene to pass me her question paper. He gave us a bedevil and warned us not to repeat the same thing in hereafter if not we would be suspended from school. Each of u s was given a warning letter and our parents were called to the school. We vowed to Mr Lambert that we would never cheat again during examinations. From that day onwards, we were renowned to be the best cheaters ever.
