They Framed Me for Cheating,Then Learned I Never Took the ExamChapter 1

The day before the national college entrance exam, Molly Mason—prettiest girl in the class—stood up and pitched the whole room on pooling money for electronic cheating devices to smuggle into the exam room.

Fifty-six students who'd ground through three years of study agreed without blinking.

The moment I found out, I stepped in to stop them.

"Bringing cheating devices into the exam room is illegal! If you're caught, you're permanently banned from taking the exam again! The exam rooms have detection equipment this year. They'll catch every single one of you. You've all worked for ten years to get here. Don't throw it away!"

Because I stopped them, everyone dropped the plan

and sat the exam like they were supposed to.

But at the class farewell dinner after the exam,

every one of those fifty-six classmates kept my glass full until my head hit the table, then dragged me up to the school rooftop.

My childhood friend seized me by the throat and drove his fist into my face.
