Can’t Cheat At His Game

(I’m taking a really hard physics class, and instead of memorizing the formulas, I decide to write them down secretly on the desk before taking a test. The teacher notices me cheating.)

Teacher: “All right class, for this test we’ll play a game. Move to another desk right now that isn’t your own. Go on. Move!”

(Confused, the rest of the class move around. I am frozen, because I know the teacher knows. Reluctantly, I move to another desk.)

Teacher: “Aw look at that; no one sat in the desk with the special notes on it! Too bad.”

(He looks right at me, and I avoid his eyes. I feel ashamed of myself. The rest of the class looks puzzled. I never cheat again!)
