How could this happen?
Karan just stood there, completely stunned, staring at the projection screen with red, unblinking eyes. The final scores for the five finalists were right there for everyone to see, ranked from highest to lowest.
Her name was at the very top.
Karan—298 points.
Right underneath, in second place, was Shirley, with 289 points.
She beat Shirley by almost ten points.
So… Karan actually won?
She kept staring at the rankings, but all the color had drained from her face. There was no denying it. The results were right there, clear as day.
It didn’t make sense. She could hardly breathe.
She was sure Mr. Lane had helped Shirley cheat. Shirley had been so confident, handing in her paper way before time was up. And yet, Shirley lost.
How was that even possible? What was going on?
“Wait, Shirley’s not first? How is it Karan?” Someone in the audience broke the silence, voices echoing with shock.
Someone else jumped in, “Karan probably thought she was already losing, so she tried to blow things up. Blaming Mr. Lane and Shirley for cheating—look where that got her. I can’t wait to see how she gets out of this one.”
“Didn’t Karan already report the cheating to Apex? They must know by now. There’s no way she can walk this back.”
“That’s not just an accusation,” another student said. The girls from Shirley’s class, the ones who’d stood up for her before, were furious.
