      Cheaters - Steve Brezenoff

      Cover

      It’ll be fine, Andrew, said Jimmy.

      Jimmy, Andrew, and Mia leaned on the lockers across from room 212 of Ravens Pass Middle School. It was Wednesday morning, and seventh-grade math class was about to start.

      Mia sighed. Seriously, Andrew, she said. We’re talking about one test. One little, tiny test.

      That’s easy for you to say, Andrew replied. You two are probably failing math, anyway.

      Hey! said Jimmy. I have a solid C-minus.

      Andrew ignored him. But I’m running a perfect A, he said. If we get caught, I’ll probably end up with an F.

      Or get kicked out of school, Mia said.

      Andrew’s eyes went wide. Kicked out? he said in a whisper.

      Stop it, Mia, said Jimmy, pulling Andrew aside. She’s just kidding. Besides, we’re talking about Mrs. Huckle here. She won’t catch us.

      Andrew sighed. Are you sure? he asked.

      Jimmy put up his right hand. I promise, he said.

      Okay, Andrew said. Then let’s do it.

      They took their regular seats in the back of the classroom.

      Mrs. Huckle distributed the exam papers. She stood at the front of the room, pushed her glasses up her beak-like nose, and tightened her cardigan.

      Is everyone ready? she asked in her high-pitched voice. Then she checked the skinny watch on her freckled wrist. You have exactly forty minutes to finish this exam. She smiled over the sea of young faces.

      Mia glanced at Jimmy. Jimmy glanced at Andrew. Andrew glanced at Mia. He nodded.

      Begin, Mrs. Huckle said. All twenty-five students began the exam.

      * * *

      Forty-five minutes later, the three back-row kids left room 212. That went perfectly, said Mia. You were great, Andrew.

      Andrew shrugged. It was a tough exam, he said. I think I did well.

      Jimmy put one arm around Andrew’s shoulders. Of course you did, Jimmy said. You’re a genius at math. Everyone knows it.

      And now Jimmy and I are geniuses too, Mia said with a giggle.

      Andrew glared at her. We just better not get caught, he said.

      Mia waved him off. Mrs. Huckle didn’t have a clue, she said. "She
