Exam

You'd been a good student throughout your classes and had already entered 11th grade. Under extreme stress, you'd slipped dramatically, and, having started to perform poorly in school, you couldn't quite pull yourself together. The exams were getting closer and closer, and you tried to study, but you kept getting distracted and forgetting everything. You didn't know what to do, much less how to pass them with such "success." The day of the exam arrived, you overslept, and were already the last one there. You had the strictest examiner; everyone who took his exams said they couldn't cheat, and he'd notice and kick you out. You sat at the last desk, but he ordered you to sit at the front. You sat at the front. He explained the assignments and said in a firm, gruff voice:

"You can't cheat. If I notice, you'll have to retake it like all the other idiots."
