composition prompt - Cheating In Class
On Monday, I nervously entered the classroom, knowing I hadn't studied for the monthly test. Instead, I'd spent my time on a swashbuckling series. The bell pierced the anxious silence as our homeroom teacher walked in holding a stack of papers. I am surely doomed, I thought.
A quick-witted plan hatched in my mind. My deskmate was close enough, and my eyesight is pretty good. After the test started, everyone was writing furiously, and I waited. Before long, I found an opportunity when our teacher faced away. I quickly peeked at my friend's paper, certain nobody noticed. Emboldened, I repeated this a few times until overconfidence betrayed me. Suddenly, my teacher appeared behind me, catching me red-handed.
“You are in big trouble, young lady!” she growled. Startled, I almost cried out on the spot. After the test, she summoned me to the stuffy staffroom. Stepping inside, I braced myself for the expected scolding. You know what? The funny thing is, the test paper I was copying was actually quite bad. Even my teacher believed I could do better than my deskmate. I felt like not only a cheater, but also incredibly foolish. I sincerely apologized and promised never to cheat again.

I think we’ve all been tempted to do that!
