Rewriting My Score
I forgot to bring a No. 2 pencil, so I filled out my SAT exam with a red pen.
The proctor warned me it would count as cheating, and I just shrugged and told him it didn't matter.
Tyson Jenkins, the school heartthrob who ranked near the bottom of the class, suddenly got anxious.
In my last life, we went back to school to pick up our acceptance letters.
I already had a guaranteed spot at Kingsford University. And yet, I was the only one who didn't receive a letter.
Tyson had used a system to swap our exam scores.
Because my score showed up as zero, Kingsford University revoked my guaranteed admission.
I demanded a review of the scoring, but Tyson, who had suddenly become the top scorer out of nowhere, sneered at me.
"Kieran, couldn't cheat your way through the exam this time, huh? Everyone knows you only got that guaranteed spot by cheating. You've got some nerve playing the victim!"
I went to our homeroom teacher to clear my name.
I never expected her to cry on camera and say, "I tried to talk Kieran out of it in private. It's not fair to the other students if he does something like that, but he used his family's influence to pressure me into staying out of it."
Overnight, I was at the center of a storm.
Before I could even explain, a group of fanatics dragged me up to the roof and shoved me off.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day before the exam.
