1465 Words6 Pages

Williker told us that from now on our phones were to be put in the bucket before class and he would put the bucket under his desk. He also said if anyone had a problem with putting their phones in the bucket they could go to the office for the rest of the class. No one has said a word and I just sat there.

Each time people started easing up more and more. The school really became to become itself again, I didn’t have any friends before but now, I definitely don’t have any friends. Johnny came up to me before history and told me he was going to go tell the principal that he was also one of the people that cheated. I went into complete shock.
