SHE THOUGHT I WAS CHEATING
GENUINELY MY HEARTS STILL RACING
we had just finished computing paper 1
and the invigilators were letting us go row by row
I was sitting in the front in one of the first rows
now BASICALLY WHAT HAPPENED WAS
I DIDNT REALISE MY PENCIL CASE WAS STILL HALF OPEN
and when i stood up
MY SHARPENER FELL OUT
AND THE METAL BIT THINGY HIT THE FLOOR
so ofc no big deal i picked it up
put it back in the pencil case
zipped it up
and turned to leave
THATS WAS UNTIL I HEARD:
“EHM- EXCUSE ME WHAT WAS THAT?”
i CANNOT express how badly my heart started racing
i turned around
“yes miss?”
“what was that? was that a watch?”
(bear in mind she is standing UNCOMFORTABLY close to me and looking me up and down like im some piece of scum
“no miss”
and i show her my sharpener
“Empty your pockets”
“sorry?”
“Empty your pockets”
so i did
it took me a few seconds cuz my hands were fully trembling
but i did
and ofc mothing there
CUZ I DIDNT HAVE A WATCH OR ANYTHING
and she glared me down and says fine
so i leave
I THOUGHT IT WAS ALL FINE
BUT THIS GIRL CAME UP TO ME
WHO WAS IN ONE OF THE ROWS AFTER SO SHE LEFT LATER
AND SAID “THE INVIGILATOR MOVED YOUR PAPER OUT OF THE PILE FROM THE FRONT”
gang am i cooked 😭
