Mary was a student in a middle school. It was Monday today. For her she was unlucky, because she had two tests today. Maths was the first test and she was bad at it. Lucy was her best friend. She sat in front of Mary. Lucy didn’t have problems with Maths. She didn’t have problems with anything. Mary hoped Lucy could help her in the test.
Test started. There were five questions that Mary couldn’t answer. They were too difficult. She looked up and found the teacher didn’t look at her. She took out her phone. She asked answers from Lucy by using her phone. Then Mary saw Lucy reading from the phone. So she waited for her friend’s answers. But nothing came. “Stop writing and put your pens down,” said Mr Li. Oh no, Mary still had two answers left.
After the test, Mary went to the library and found Lucy. Mary was angry when she saw Lucy reading books.
“Lucy! Why didn’t you answer my phone? I saw you read it! Are you my best friend?” Mary asked angrily.
“It’s a cheat! We are friends. I didn’t want you to cheat. It’s bad! You weren’t good at Maths. That’s OK. I can help you with it. But I can’t help you in the test.” Lucy answered carefully.
