Caught Cheating
Friday came by slowly. Fallon had been tempted to just kill Penelope, as the wait was boring her. It would've been so much easier. But Fallon wanted a goal, something to achieve other than Noah's undivided love. She wanted to get Penelope out of her school. She was in her room, brushing her hair. She tied it up into a ponytail, and put the brush down on her dresser. She could see a piece of paper laying on the dresser, so she picked it up. It was the copy of the answer sheet that she would use to frame Penelope. Fallon hadn't looked at it since Monday, so she wasn't sure on the answers. Knowing the answers would look suspicious, and it could cause her plan to backfire. Also on her desk she had her homework. It had been completed, but she knew it wasn't very well done. This wasn't at her usual standard, but that didn't matter anymore. Fallon prioritised getting rid of her rivals over doing her homework. It wasn't like Fallon hadn't tried to do well. All she could think of was Noah. She could think of nothing else. She sighed and put the homework and answer sheet into her bag, then left for school.
At school, Fallon was alone in the classroom. It always seemed to be like this. Fallon didn't understand, or care. She put her bag onto her desk and pulled out the answer sheet. She quickly slipped it into Penelope's desk. She then went back to her own desk, hoping no one saw her. She picked up her bag and left the classroom to meet up with Hana.
Later that day, Fallon was sat in her classroom looking around. She was waiting for someone to find the answer sheet in Penelope's desk. She had nearly finished the test herself, but she was more interested in getting Penelope in trouble. Then it happened. Ben had been winding up Penelope for a little while, even though they were meant to be working in silence. The teacher didn't really care as long as the test was completed and students weren't cheating. Penelope reached to get a bottle of water from her bag, which was under her desk. Ben lifted her desk, revealing the answer sheet. He pulled it out and raised it into the air.
"What is this Penelope?" He called, waiving the answer sheet in the air. She looked up, as did everyone else including the teacher. The teacher stood up from his desk and went over to Ben and Penelope. He took the sheet from Ben as he sat back down at his seat. The teacher began to read through the answer sheet
"An answer sheet? Penelope this is completely unacceptable. Go stand outside while I call the guidance counsellor." Penelope stood up, tears forming in her eyes. She had never been in this trouble before. She hadn't even put the answer sheet in her desk. She hadn't ever seen it before.
Fallon could hear Penelope being scolded from the classroom. The guidance counsellor sounded just as furious as the teacher had, just as furious as she made Fallon.
"I'm giving you ONE more chance, miss Penelope. If you break school conduct again I'll have no choice but to expel you."
