Chapter 1

I had just gotten to 'C, D, E, F, G' of the alphabet song when I saw the expression on Jacob Scott's face freeze. He had been used to copying my answers without qualms, but this time, his pen paused in mid-air. He kept glancing in my direction, all red-faced. I could not help but burst out with a muffled laugh.Jacob panicked, and he stomped hard under the table, causing a loud bang in the silent exam hall. "That student in the front row, please pay attention to examination hall etiquette," the invigilator said in a low voice while sweeping a glance at him.Jacob turned red in the face and glared at me, looking like he wanted me dead. Since the live chat overlay said I was an obstacle in his way, I would go ahead and create a path for him that led to nowhere. I hummed as I stared at my exam papers and started my plan.The answer to the second question was B, but I purposely thought, "This was the question I got wrong in the mock exam. C must be the correct answer. I can't be car

I watched as he walked out the door, and I could finally breathe with relief. I picked up my pen and scribbled fast on the exam papers with superhuman speed. I cleared my mind of all the incorrect answers, and all the right answers came flooding back. All of the multiple-choice answers and blank spaces were filled in with the right answers, and I made sure every step of the calculation was detailed as clearly as possible. I did not even miss out the formula derivation process as I scribbled it down.Every student around me was scratching their ears and biting the tips of their pens, but I used only 30 minutes to complete the exam. I even triple-checked all my answers. When I was done, I tidied up the draft papers used for the calculations according to sequence and piled them under my exam papers. If someone tried to find fault with me and accuse me of cheating, the complete calculation process on those draft papers would prove my innocence.Before the bell rang, I stood up with c

Chapter 3

I was about to say something when my father waved me off impatiently, like I was something dirty. "Get lost. I don't want you here in our way. I'm taking Jacob out for his favorite food so that he can regain some strength for the afternoon exam." Jacob winked at me with a small smile, looking nothing like the victim he played just seconds ago. All three of them turned to leave without even looking back at me. The crowd around us dispersed, but they continued staring and pointing at me even before they left. I was not angry, and I smiled instead.When it was time for the afternoon exam, Jacob sat beside me on purpose, and he leaned into my ear to whisper, "You're just garbage that's only good enough to work at a factory. That spot in Kale University is mine."[Hahaha! Good job, Jacob! That's a nice line. A supporting character like Jonah is only good for making the male lead look good!]I ignored him. The moment I had the math papers in my hand, I started to repeat the wrong way

Chapter 4

My fingers quivered, and I decided to stop scrolling, and I flung the phone to the side. It was not long before I heard Jacob speaking on the phone in the living room. His speaker was turned on, and I could hear the voice of our class teacher. "Jacob, I heard about your score estimate. It's incredible! Once the results are announced, I'll help you apply for the school's special scholarship and write you a letter of recommendation to Kale University. You're the pride of our school!" Jacob replied with great relish, and even after he hung up, his voice went an octave higher as he shouted toward my room, "Mom! Dad! Our class teacher says he'll be writing me a letter of recommendation to Kale University!" My father laughed so loudly that it hurt my ears. I sat in front of my desk, staring at the computer to search for the exam answers shared online, and I started to compare them one by one to get an estimate of my score.I had most of the answers right, as there were subjective answ

Chapter 5

[What's wrong? Is there a bug in the system?][That doesn't seem right. Jacob has been reading Jonah's mind for the answers. How could his score be 721?]I looked up at the laptop, and the screen clearly showed his total score to be 721, which was below the national average. "How did this happen? Did you enter the wrong username and password?" My mother was the first to react by lunging in a fluster toward the laptop. Jacob's hands were trembling so much that he could hardly hold onto the mouse. He kept reentering his username and password and typed in the wrong information several times, but every time he refreshed the page, the score still showed 721.My father's smile froze on his face before turning sullen. My mother called our class teacher in a panic, and he was puzzled as well. He told my mother that there was nothing wrong with the system, as all the other students received normal scores."Let's look at yours!" My father turned to glare at me and got my username and pas

Chapter 6

It was only then that those in the live chat knew that I was the one who turned the tables on everyone and everything. Unfortunately, it was too late."He cheated! He must have switched our exam papers! He did this to me on purpose! I want to lodge a complaint with the education board about him and strip him of his valedictorian title!" Jacob roared.My father snapped out of it right away and grabbed my wrist. "What did you do? Your brother should have an average of 1,550. How could he have scored 721?" That was also when my mother lunged forward to push me with tears streaming down my face. "How could you do something so horrible, Jonah? That's your brother!"[Those who called him useless should reflect on themselves!][Is Jacob crazy? He can't push the blame to others when he was the one copying the answers.]I swept my gaze across all of them and flung my father's hand away to take out two USB drives from my pocket, and waved them in front of everyone. "Don't be in such a hur

Chapter 7

[They must be stunned about this backfiring on them.][I wonder how ashamed they are right now of wrongly accusing Jonah of knocking over that bowl of cereal when they were outside the exam hall.]Jacob screamed and tried to grab the USB. My father also snapped out of it as he tried to grab the tablet to smash it. "The footage is all fake! Fake!"I knew they would get extreme, and I took a step back while taking out my phone to show them that I had already called 911. I had the speaker on, and the 911 operator who picked up my call said, "911. How can I help you?""Hi, my family is slandering me and trying to rob me of my personal possessions. My address is No. 1602, Block 2, Dreyden Street." My father's hand froze in midair when I spoke, and his face flushed red, but he did not dare make another move.The police arrived in ten minutes, and after reviewing all of the evidence on both USBs and listening to my explanation, their faces fell, and they started lecturing my parents an

The second announcement was: [We condemn Jacob Scott for cheating in the school exams on multiple occasions and will hand him over to the education board for disciplinary actions.]It was followed by a bunch of people tagging me in texts. A member of the student council who used to criticize me often in public apologized to me three times in text, claiming that he had been blinded enough to jump on the bandwagon to berate me. He even offered me 100 dollars as compensation for what he did.The rest of my classmates were either busy expressing their surprise or heaping praises on me as the next valedictorian. Several classmates who were convinced I had been cheating deleted all past posts criticizing me, and they proceeded to text me privately to apologize for what they did.After I was done reading the texts, my doorbell rang. It was my class teacher who had arrived with a fruit basket and a box of my favorite strawberry cake. He stood outside awkwardly, and his forehead was covered

Chapter 9

"I'm using the scholarship for my tuition fees at university. As for that special placement you asked for, I'm not in any position to request something like that. If you want him to go to university, figure out a way for him yourselves."With that, I turned to smile at Mr. Cartman from Kale University. "I've decided to accept the offer for the computer science course at Kale University."Mr. Cartman smiled and gave me the pre-admission letter from the university. "Great. We were waiting for you to say yes. We'll mail you the official admission letter within a week.'The admissions officer from Stonewall University looked disappointed, but he got my contact number and told me to get in touch if I changed my mind at any time before leaving dejectedly. Mr. Cartman talked to me about several items to pay attention to before leaving for the university, and left after that. My parents tried to talk to him again about helping Jacob, but he rejected them with a smile.After sending off M

Chapter 10

"How dare he make trouble here? Isn't he ashamed of what he did?"A student took out his phone to project the video I posted yesterday onto the hall's big screen. It showed the footage of Jacob knocking over his cereal and placing the blame on me. I had merged it with the video of him crying and maligning me outside the exam hall, which everyone could see clearly."There's also this!"Another student stood up with his phone to project the group chat history onto the screen. It was a text from Jacob last year. [What's the point of studying? Jonah can study hard all he can, but his answers will still be mine in the end. I sleep in class all the time, and I'm the class's top ten scorers. Jonah gives me free answering services during exams.]The chat history of him bragging to his buddies about his special abilities that could hear anything I was thinking was also exposed. This revelation caused a commotion among the audience, and everyone started taking pictures of the stage. The
