To History Class

As Lisa walked into History class she sat down next to Connie. Connie was distracted on her phone and didn't say anything before class started.

As class wore on Lisa continued to diligently take notes, but Mrs. Jones stopped a few minutes early. "I know you guys are anxiously awaiting your test results. Well I'm happy to say I have them right here. Let me pass them out." As students looked around nervously Lisa felt pretty relaxed. Napoleonic Europe was one of her favorite topics, and so she had been well prepared.

That confidence seemed well deserved when Mrs. Jones walked by and handed back Connie and I's test. "Well done both you!" Mrs. Jones exclaimed. "A's all around." Lisa had gotten a 96%! Impressed with herself she looked over and saw Connie had gotten a 94%. That was surprising. Connie wasn't a history buff, and in particular she found European history to be rather uninteresting. Then she remembered during the test Connie was starting over at her a lot. She must have copied off her. While Lisa wasn't overjoyed she loved Connie, and if she hadn't gotten caught what was the harm.

"Connie I'd like to talk to you after class." Mrs. Jones said as she continued walking around handing out tests. Connie's face turned white. Turns out maybe she didn't get away with it. Lisa turned over to Connie and said "Do you think it's about the tests. Did you copy off me?" Connie gulped "Yeah I did I didn't have time to study ok, and I knew you would know everything." Lisa sighed. This is why when you copy you change some of the answers. Well looks like Connie was going to have to face the music. "Damn well try and be nice, and don't talk to fill the silence. Let Mrs. Jones call you out, and be as apologetic as you can." Connie nodded, and just then the bell rang. Lisa started packing her books and waved to Connie as she headed to her next class.
