Carly’s Vengeance

Carly studied all the time and was getting good grades, but her

classmates were not. They usually copied her assignments and cheated
using her hard work. This left Carly very overwhelmed, but she
accepted the situation, hoping to be their friend. Then one day,
she heard one of them say that she only spent time with Carly in
order to pass her assignments. Carly was livid and planned to take

her vengeance. She deliberately got one of her assignments wrong,
so that when her classmates copied it, their teacher would know
straight away what was going on. The students who had been

copying Carly were caught by the teacher, who then failed them in
their exams.
