Chapter 16
On Wednesday morning, Mr Keaton walked into Class Z with a lack of report cards, his expression less than pleased.
This was a fomillar sight for the students of Class 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 place, Jennifer, with 570 points. Second place, Holly, with 556 points. Third place…. “And the last place 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 expression complex. “Flora, come with me, please”
Flora stood up and obediently followed Mr. Keaton out of the classroom. 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?”

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 glanced 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 glanced 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, the language teacher, urged. She was kind–hearted and, despite Flora’s unacceptable behavior, wanted to give her a chance.
“I’ve said it. I didn’t cheat” Flora replied, growing imitated. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
“And how do you explain your answers matching the answer key exactly?” Mr. Trevor accused 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!”
The commotion 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 minutes later, 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.
