Personal Recount (a time when your friend was caught cheating)

"Stand up right down," my math teacher, ms Lim, her voice seething with anger.

Jamie my classmate stood up slowly looking flustered and fearful. She was just being caught cheating in the math exam a few second ago. She stood in front of ms Lim with her head hanging and eyes fixed on ms Lim purple high-heel.

There was a painful silence in the class and no one there make a single sound. Jamie who sit two sit in front of me had cheated in front of ms Lim nose. She was peeping at the student who just sit next to her and was preparing to copy her answer when she got caught by ms Lim.

Ms Lim asked Jamie tons of question but she remain there, refusing to open her mouth to speak and kept shooking her head indenial. Her nose and eyes were drenched and she wiped them with the back of her sleeve. Seeing this, i went forward to give her a piece of tissue. Ms Lim than have to choice but to report her to the general office to call her parents. When her parents came to school, she approached them gingerly, trembling with terror. Tears streaked down her cheeks. Her parents yelled at her at the top of their voice, scolding her for what she did.

She later told her parents that she was afraid that they will scold her for not getting 90 marks and above therefore she decided to cheat as there are some question that she do not know how to do.

Jamie than apologise to ms Lim and the class for her bad behaviour. She too promise to the whole class that she will not cheat anymore. Her parents apologise to Jamie for giving her too much stress.
