Let Them Get Caught のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

"I'm a coward. Besides, the exam hall's rules aren't there just for fun, you know. So, I threw the notes away."Some of my classmates were starting to hesitate, wondering if they should follow the rules as I did. Michael sneered before they could come to a decision, saying, "There's no way they'll be checking. After all, we're from the honours class. The state's hoping there'll be some top scorers among us so they can latch on to our fame and brains. "Even if we're caught, I'm sure they'll pretend it never happened since everyone's cheated, too. She's just stupid enough to say no to a perfect score. Just think about it. We might get interviewed if our entire class scores well. We'll be famous right after we finish the exam!"Queenie was quick to back him up, insisting, "We'll be famous and have a bright future. That'll make all of us elites." Then, she added pitifully, "Maybe Josephine doesn't want us to score better than her and strip her of the state's top scorer title. That'

That massive venue would no longer be an exam hall, but a personal hell they had opened up for themselves. They crawled out of it unscathed in my previous life thanks to my warning, but they no longer had a naive goodie-two-shoes to save them this time.Erin was pale as a ghost, her eyes wide as she watched them bounce away. She turned to look at me with eyes filled with hopelessness. "They're brilliant students. How did this happen, Josephine?"I shook my head and offered her a comforting pat on the shoulder. The school offered the honors class a lot of privileges. We could have our meals earlier than the other classes, and our food and accommodation were the best among them.The entire school's respect and admiration for them eventually got into their heads, making them believe that scores were everything. Alas, they had completely forgotten that the first thing about being a student was to learn to be an upstanding citizen.The senior honors class didn't care about things they

I retorted coldly, "I remember telling you that the college entrance exam forbid cheating, and that the rules aren't there just for fun."Their criticism died in their throats as their faces turned from red to white. I ignored them as I blithely continued, "You could've scored enough for Northberg, but you got too greedy for fame and fortune. Blame your own desires for your downfall, not me."Dead silence fell upon the field. Michael's jaw was slack, and his face took on an ugly shade of puce before settling on ashen. Even he couldn't come up with a single retort to that. The students who were blaming me hung their heads low, cowed.The cops were pressing Queenie's shoulders down. She glared at me with venom in her eyes, but she could barely breathe now, much less curse.The cops frowned in disgust and urged, "Stop wasting time and take them to the station already!"The police car door swung shut, and I could see Michael staring at me through the window. His eyes glinted with re

"Yeah! Enroll them, too! We can't let our children be ruined!"These people were noisy, incessant, and were like leeches stuck to my skin. They kept going on and on about how I was the class representative and had a duty to save their children. Eventually, I lost any and all patience for them as I flung the hand that was holding my arm, glaring at them coldly.Finally, I rebuked icily, "No college will admit cheaters. Not Northberg, not anywhere else."That shut them right up. I turned and left without sparing them a single look. Their children cheated and tried to tip the scales with their status as honors-class students. They deserved to be punished, yet their parents expected me to deal with the fallout? Hah.In my previous life, I kindly saved them only to have my family destroyed. This time, I wouldn't do something that stupid.I went to the bulletin board and saw my name sitting at the top. Then, I noticed the 'Top Scorer' title written right below. I smiled and went home

Queenie blamed Michael for his incompetence and failure in protecting her. She said it was his fault she was in prison. Meanwhile, he blamed her for tempting him into cheating and ruining his future.They were two selfish souls who were stuck tormenting each other in prison, paying for their mistake. The scandal died down, and my life returned to its usual peace and quiet.Everyone was aware of the full truth, so they now had nothing but respect for me. No one dared to start any rumors. …Soon, I was accepted into Northberg. It was a lovely day when I went to school for the admission letter.Erin handed me the only acceptance letter in our class, looking dejected. "There should've been 32 of those here. It's a shame they went down that path…"It took that group cheating scandal for the school to learn that the special privileges they granted the honors class did more harm than good.Those privileges made the honors class students get themselves involved in social classes way
