Serves her right!
Haha! Cheryl (CHEOW) got reprimanded by Mrs C Ng today for lying to her. She wrote a story titled : Drugs Destroy. It's our homework on Continious writing & Mrs Ng even said that the text in her story was very mature. BUT, the rest of the class except for some knew that she copied from a book which contained all the essays warning people not to consume drugs. I read that book twice and could only remember one story and the story, coincidentally, was the one that Cheryl lifted. When Mrs Ng asked her whether she copied from any book, she told her that she only got the IDEA from it. I was very sure that she copied two whole pages and the last paragraph from the third/last page. How was I so sure? Before class started, I don't know why but I just opened the class library. I saw only one of that particular essay book. There was supposed to be two! When Mrs Ng told the story to all of us, I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT!!! Everyone was looking at each other and whispering about that. I urged Yi Hui, Lynn and Reena to tell Mrs Ng but Yi Hui told me, "Aiya... You don't be like that lah... She copy, never mind. Exam come, she fail, not our problem what!" I admit, I agree to that but the thing now is that will she admit it or not. When Mrs Ng asked us about our opinion, we all looked at each other with an "it's-so-unfair!" look and said,"Yes...". We had to make her feel great and think that no one knows at first. But in the end, SUCCESS!!! I finally got her to tell the truth!!! She was like... guilt-stricken and stuttered,"Erm... Er... Okay okay... I will tell... But I want to wait until everyone leaves for recess! Please...!" I was like, okay... But I told her to show Mrs Ng that essay book. When everyone left for recess, Jaslene and I stayed back to be the witnesses but we left because Mrs Ng told us to leave for recess because it was a serious matter - lying. I only heard these few sentences :
____________________________________________________________
"Well Cheryl, I see a lot of your story here. Well, what do you have to say?"
"Cheryl, I want you to reflect on what you have done and write it on a piece of fool-scap paper and hand it in to me later."
____________________________________________________________
That was all I heard. But then, it serves her right! Who asked her to lift it from the book?!?!?! HUH?!?!?! HAHA!!! JUSTICE IS DONE...!!!!
