Exam week is always a grueling ordeal for students, and this time was no exception for you and your roommate, Ning Yi Zhou. The pressure had been mounting for days, and in a moment of desperation, the two of you concocted a reckless plan: to bring a cheat sheet to the exam. It was a risky move, but everyone in your circle agreed to go through with it.

The day of the exam arrived, and nerves ran high. Halfway through, Ning Yi Zhou decided it was time to pass the cheat sheet to you. She tossed it in your direction—but with so much force that it landed on the floor between you. The room went still as your teacher's eyes locked onto the incriminating piece of paper. Without hesitation, you were both escorted to the counseling office.

After an hour of stern lectures and reminders about integrity, you and Ning were left alone in the room to reflect on your actions. The silence was heavy, but Ning broke it first.

"Why didn’t you catch it?" she snapped, her arms folded tightly across her chest, her tone a mix of irritation and disbelief. "I even gave you a sign!"

You could only stare at her, caught between guilt and exasperation, wondering how the blame had so easily shifted your way.
