[ WP ] You 're a telepath and use the power to cheat on exams . One day you can hear the voice of the new teacher echoing in your head 'NO CHEATING IN MY CLASSROOM ! '

Today's the big day.The SAT..... 
 
 I've had my telepathy for a while now and I utilized the power for crappy party tricks like guessing the numbers people are thinking of and winning poker games by reading the minds of the cardholders, but about a few weeks ago I thought of the Holy Grail to get the best out of my power.That's right. I'm talking about the SAT! 
 
 I grinned from ear to ear as I took my seat and waited for my classmates to fill into their desks one by one. I knew how I was gon na cheat and I knew who I was gon na cheat off of: Sara Isaac, also known as, The Perfect Prefect. 
 
 And there she is! 
 
 She walked into the classroom with her head held high and sat down in the seat directly in front of me. ( which is perfect because the closer you are, the easier it is to read you. ) 
 
 `` Heya Sara!'' I said with a joyous smile. 
 
 `` Who said you can look my direction? Low life scum.'' Sara said as she looked away from me in disgust. 
 
 *Well I was under the impression that we were pretty close since I can basically finish your sentences now. * I said in my telepathic channel. 
 
 The Proctor began spouting her usual song and dance about the penalties of cheating that no one listened to but pretended to listen to. 
 
 And after that, it began! 
 
 *this is gon na be the easiest test of my life! * I say in my mind as I write my name in the required spots. 
 
 After that, I simply tune out all the other student's thoughts and only listen to Sara 
 
 *This one's easy. I just have to create my own unit circle and figure out the sin of the x-coordinates. * 
 
 Sure....So easy Sara..... 
 
 *Got it! the answer's D! * 
 
 As she wrote down her answer, I quickly write down the same thing and listen in for the next one. This order continues until it's break time before I know it. The teacher allows us to do basically anything at this time so I decide to take a quick walk to think about my success. 
 
 *I'm such a genius! Cheating is simply the best route for things. * 
 
 *NO CHEATING IN MY CLASSROOM* 
 
.....what? 
 
 I quickly scanned the courtroom I was in and I saw her sitting on a staircase in front of me....the ultimate proctor....Mrs.Nickelback. That's when I quickly pieced together the entire situation and figured it out... She has telepathic powers too! I decided to have a quick battle of telepathy to see how well she can handle her powers. So I smiled at her and began. 
 
 *Well, well, well. If it is n't the proctor with the `` most cheaters caught'' reward under her belt* I started off. 
 
 *I'm honestly surprised that out of all the things you could use your powers for, you decide to use it for such a dreadful purpose. * 
 
 *It's just a test... * I casually respond 
 
 *First a test, then scamming people out of their money, then blackmail and bribery* 
 
 *I would never take it that far though....* 
 
 *I've heard that excuse too many times before. It's always the good ones too. You come from an amazing, honorable, family. what would they think if they saw you doing such a terrible thing? * 
 
 She's right. My mother was a woman of honor and my father was a man that followed her to the edge of death itself. They would always be honest with others and help the helpless. And one thing my mother would always tell me would be that: 
 
 *There are three things that mama does n't like: Liars, cheaters, and thieves. * 
 
 Mrs.Nickelback finished my thought for me. 
 
 *I'm a seasoned telepath so I can do everything from reading recent thoughts to reading distant memories.Do you really think your late mother would smile down upon the road you've taken? Because I think she would be appalled and disgusted. You could cheat, but know that there is always a consequence. Whether physical or emotional, whether now or in the distant future, there will always be a consequence. * 
 
 Her words echoed in my mind ( figuratively and literally ). 
 
 I wish I could say that I came up with some witty quip, or some smart retort or comeback to make me feel better about the pure truth that she was saying, but I was simply speechless. 
 
 `` ALL TEACHERS AND STUDENTS! PLEASE RETURN TO YOUR TESTING LOCATIONS TO CONTINUE TO THE SECOND AND LAST HALF OF YOUR SAT TESTING! THANK YOU!'' 
 
 Me and Mrs. Nickelback walked back to class together in silence. I sat back down in my seat and we were quickly prompted to begin again. 
 
 I began again with the same song and rhythm as the first half and began reading Sara's mind and copying. With each letter I wrote down, Mrs. Nickelback's words filled me with deep regret for myself and what I was doing. 
 
 *I'm honestly surprised that out of all the things you could use your powers for, you decide to use it for such a dreadful purpose. * 
 
 *First a test, then scamming people out of their money, then blackmail and bribery* 
 
 *You could cheat, but know that there is always a consequence. Whether physical or emotional, whether now or in the distant future, there will always be consequences. * 
 
 Then these words put the final nail in the coffin. 
 
 *There are three things that mama does n't like: Liars, cheaters, and thieves. * 
 
 Teardrops. My answer sheet was starting to get wet from all of my tears. 
 I know Mama, I know. And I'll never be a cheater. I would never want to disrespect you. I want to be a person you can be proud of. 
 
 I started erasing answers left and right. and before I knew it, my entire answer sheet was as blank as it was the moment I got it. 
 
 I stared at my telepathic proctor in the eyes and thought: 
 
 *is that enough for you? * 
 
 She sent a smile my way and said: 
 
 *it's enough for me, and I think it'll be enough for her too....*
