chemistry, and Emma is a straight-A student. Kayla asks
Emma if she can copy her answers during the test. Emma
hates the idea of cheating, even for Kayla, and she sleeps
terribly that night. She thinks about pretending to be sick to
avoid the situation, but she goes to school and tells Kayla

give Kayla the answers. Kayla fails the test and is mad at
Emma for a long time. Eventually Kayla realizes that
cheating is wrong, and she and Emma make up.
