Chapter One  

[spoiler]Why do teachers have to make tests so intense? Kathy wondered; watching her teacher with a nervous look on her face. It was only the first day; but she had to get on the wrong foot with her new teacher; Mr. Lankoff. Rumors said not to make him angry; or else he would set his lank off. Kathy shuddered. So scary. She didn't know what a lank was; or if any such word even exhisted, but the setence had an evil little ring to it.  

Sixth graders who had Mr. Lankoff the year before had warned her; Watch out for English class! He's the worst: Mr. Lankoff!  

Kathy waited and watched the solemn look on Mr. Lankoff's face. Kathy knew what was happening. She knew that Mr. Lankoff was waiting for her to break out in tears and shout that she knew what she did was wrong; and that she would do anything for him. Then; with a sad look on his face; Mr. Lankoff would give her detention ("It's the least I could do"). Well; Mr. Lankenster; that's not happening to me! Kathy thought angrilly. She only had English class with Mr. Lankoff for about an hour, so then she really didn't care if she tortured her in class. Only for an hour; she thought, though she knew an hour was a long; dreadful time if you were getting picked on by a mean teacher.  

"So." His voice was dry; like rough sandpaper scratching against a nice; new car. "You decided to cheat on your test."  

Is that a statement or a question? Kathy wondered; thinking whether to answer or just nod and give in. "Yes; sir," she finally said after a while. Mr. Lankoff's eyes narrowed sharply.
