Gracie’s Pov:
I stared at everyone in confusion as the student kept pointing at me.
The teacher walked straight to me.
All eyes were on me and I was stunned.
The teacher picked up my paper and immediately the answer script fell out of it.
And everyone screamed aloud.
My jaw dropped as I looked around in confusion.
What’s going on?
How did the answer script get into my papers?
“Gracie the cheat! Gracie the cheat!!” the class roared
Tears welled down my chubby cheeks.
The teacher stared at me in astonishment.
“Miss Gracie Montes… So you were cheating?” The teacher’s voice rang into my ear drums.
I opened my mouth to say a word but I couldn’t… Tears couldn’t let me talk.
Everyone was already making jest of me except Mona my friend who was crying and pleading that I couldn’t have done that.
“Miss I didn’t do it! Please… Please…. Please believe me… I… I beg…. I beg…. Of you” I choked in tears.
“Shut up Gracie! I knew it…. You can only be a cheat to surpass me” Cassandra and her friends laughed.
The teacher shook her head in disappointment.
“What? You cheated in a final exam?” She clicked her tongue loudly.
I fell on my knees in tears.
Pleading with everyone to believe me but no-one did.
“Follow me to the principal’s office” The teacher said as she walked out and followed in tears.
The class yelled my name tagging me a cheat.
I’ve never been so humiliated and embarrassed in my entire life.
Oh God!
My scholarship is at stake!
The school of my dreams…..
Thoughts kept running through my mind.
Tears rolled uncontrollably down my face.
As we stepped into the principal’s office.
Cassandra’s Pov:
“Cheers girls?” I said as we clinked our glasses together.
This is the most exciting day of my life.
Finally, that bitch is going to be kicked out of school for sure.
And I won’t have any rival at least I can handle Amelia and her good for nothing friends.
“You’re so smart girl” Lucy laughed.
“Of course you guys helped me too” I smiled
“It was all Kiara’s beautiful idea” Joann said as Kiara laughed.
Are you confused guys? ?
Well the thing is that I paid one of the notorious students to steal the answer script from the teacher’s office.
Before the exam, I paid a student to scream out that she was cheating.
Kiara had the answer script hidden in her papers.
Very simple ?
And now the stubborn fly follows the corpse to the grave ?
Nothing can save her right now….
Not even her super man Jake.
We high five as we celebrated happily.
I can’t wait to see her thrown out of the school.
I can’t wait to see her disgraced!
Believe me she will hide her ugly face forever.
Mona’s Pov:
I sat by the staircase crying my eyes out.
I know Gracie didn’t do it but there is no evidence to prove that.
This must be Cassandra’s evil plan.
Oh no!
Gracie is the only best friend I have and she helps me out with my studies.
I burst into tears again.
I bent my head over still crying.
My eyes were all swollen.
Suddenly, someone tapped me gently.
I sluggishly raised my face up.
It was Jake.
“Mona are you OK? Where’s Gracie?” He asked as I burst into tears again.
“Am afraid Jake! Am so scared right now” I cried
He looked at me puzzled.
Actually, he had no class so he wasn’t present in the class.
He was just getting into the school premises few minutes ago.
“scared? What for?” He asked anxiously
“It’s about Gracie!” I said as I gulped hard.
“Gracie? What happened? Where did she go? Is she OK?” He asked eagerly
“Jake! An answer script was found in her papers earlier at the exam… She has been taken to the principal’s office! She might lose her scholarship” I wailed.
“What? But Gracie can’t possibly cheat… She’s brilliant” Jake said
“It must be all a plot Jake…. I don’t know how you will do this but please save my bestie” I cried.
Jake quickly rushed out and I followed.
Jake’s Pov :
I sighed Cassandra merrying with her friends.
I knew it!
Something in me tells me she had something to do with what happened to Gracie.
I walked closer to them with Mona behind me.
“Oh baby…” Cassandra called as she tried to peck me but I pushed her aside.
“Cassandra why did you do that?” I asked furiously.
She rolled her eyes and sighed.
“Did what?” She asked
“Have this witch behind you told you some nonsense?” Kiara chipped in.
“Mind you!” I warned as she quickly kept her mouth shut.
“So you don’t know what you did huh Cassie?” I asked as she burst into laughter.
“I did nothing Jake! The truth was just revealed… And you can’t save her from the consequences” Cassandra chuckled
“And this will make her know her place…which is?” Lucy laughed
“The slums!” Joann added
They roared in laughter.
I fumed in anger.
“Well I promise you guys, she’s going nowhere” I said
“How are you going to do that?” They chorused
“Anyhow” I said as I walked out on them and they kept laughing.
Gracie’s Pov:
Tears and sweats rushed out of my eyes and body.
The principal took off her glasses and stared at me in disdain.
“You cheated in an exam? You’re so shameless” She said
“I didn’t ma’am… I can swear I did no such thing” I begged on my knees.
“God! That’s the worst thing to do” She lamented
“But I didn’t do it ma’am….” I cried
“I don’t think your scholarship can survive such a big mess” The principal said as my heart skipped a beat.
“I didn’t do it ma’am… Please believe me” I wailed
“Then who did?” She asked almost yelling.
“I DID…” A voice said body.
I turned around and saw Jake.
“JAKE?” The principal and I called in shock…..
???
Jake? ??
He’s admitting to the crime he never committed ????
