Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

Fiona's words caught the attention of the teachers, especially Megan. She zeroed in on Fiona, wondering why trouble seemed to follow her everywhere.

"Cheating and hoping for a retake? Forget it. Your score's null and void," Megan declared, her tone as unyielding as a brick wall.

But to the students, her words sounded different. The members of Class Nineteen exchanged glances until Fiona's voice cut through the tension again.

"You call it cheating just because you say so? Where's your proof?"

Without evidence, it's all hot air! Fiona rolled her eyes, clearly fed up with the accusations. Class Nineteen might not have the best grades, but their solidarity was unmatched.

"Exactly, Fiona's spot on. Miss Megan, if you say Tyler cheated, you better back it up with proof."

"No proof? Then it's just slander, plain and simple. That's against the rules and even worse."

Megan's eyes flared with anger. How dare these so-called underachievers question her authority? They were getting a bit too big for their britches.

Yet, she hesitated. She couldn't doubt her decision to place the high-achieving Tyler with Keaton, nor could she easily believe the accusations.

"The school's resources are tight. If everyone demanded a retake, it wouldn't be fair to others."

"Is it unfair, or are you just scared to admit Tyler's on top?" Fiona shot back, her eyes full of defiance.

"Don't try to twist things, young lady!" Megan barely got the words out before Nash jumped in.

He was still in the room, and Megan was on thin ice talking to Fiona like that. "Who do you think you are? Is Class Nineteen under your command?"

Nash was always bold, and with his unique status, no one at school dared cross him. When he was mad, even stray dogs had to watch their step.

Especially someone like Megan, who was just another teacher. Confronted yet again, Megan was left speechless, unable to come up with a comeback.

Keaton glanced at the test papers, recalling Tyler's performance from earlier. He trusted Tyler and had faith in Class Nineteen.

"Tyler, you'll retake the test tomorrow morning. I'll talk to Mr. Garcia, and we'll proctor it together. Whatever happens, we'll give it our best."

Keaton's calm demeanor never wavered. Tyler nodded, determination in his eyes, as he glanced at Fiona, silently promising not to let her down.

It didn't take long for word to spread around the school that Tyler wasz suspected of cheating and had to retake the exam. The whole school was buzzing with curiosity about Tyler.

Being so blatant about cheating here was gutsy, to say the least. The school had a strict rule: three strikes, and you're out, and cheating was a big no-no.

Besides, everyone knew Class Nineteen's reputation. Even if they did cheat, it was almost expected.noveldrama

"Mr. Keaton, why are you so hung up on this? If Tyler did cheat and doesn't top the class this time, won't that be a bit of a slap in the face?"

Megan sneered, taking a jab at Keaton. But he wasn't biting. He believed in his students' innocence, come what may.

The next morning, Tyler was called to the school's conference room for a solo test This time, the exam was entirely different but just as tough. Keaton even provided the scratch paper and pens, putting any doubts torest.
