The Cheating Scandal: How My Childhood Friend Tried to Frame Me

Summary

During our final exams, the teacher picked up a crumpled piece of paper near the edge of my childhood friend's desk.

He stood up, looking incredibly righteous, and pointed right at me. "Mr. Harris, Chloe threw this cheat sheet at me."

I opened my mouth to explain, but Mia, sitting next to me, grabbed my arm with trembling hands. Her eyes were red.

"Chloe, please don't," she whispered.

In that moment of hesitation, I missed my only chance to defend myself.

From that day on, I went from being the school's top honors student to a cheating pariah. No one would even listen to me.
