The campus cop has a sturdy grip on me, and I try getting out of his hold, but he just squeezes harder. He leads me to what I'm assuming is Martha's office.

She's sitting at her desk looking over some papers. She looks angry; when she hears us come in her eyes look up directly at me. She looks a little evil with glasses on and her just staring at me disappointedly. I don't say anything, waiting for them to explain.

"What the hell is going on?" Sawyer barks, barging into the office. I close my eyes, this can go one of two ways; Sawyer talks his way through, by manipulating and getting out of whatever trouble this is or he ruins all of this. A few more cops come in, making sure the situation doesn't get out of hand. Martha smiles at him, ready to explain everything. I want to slap that smug smile off her face.

"Mr. Pierce," she starts off and pauses to give me a pointed look. "Do you know what happens to cheaters?" Sawyer looks directly at her, and he stands straighter. He looks calm now, a little bored. That look will definitely get us out of this. And cheating? What is she on about?

"Go on." Sawyer says rude, waiting for her to explain further. I'm sure he's pieced everything already and is just waiting for the right time to strike.

"Don't be rude." I whisper to him and nudge him. He ignores me and Martha starts talking again, louder and high pitched this time.

"Ms. Karen, do you know why you're here?" She stands in front of me, trying to be intimidating.

I shake my head no, "I was hoping you'd tell me." I say, still confused. She smugly smiles again and walks to her desk grabbing some papers.

"Search her?" She tells the cops.

"You'll find nothing." Sawyer says, rolling his eyes. He crosses his arms over his chest and his hard glare is glued on me. The cops pat me down, and check my arms for any writings. When they find nothing Martha walks to me.

"Do you see these?" She hands me the papers and I see test scores, all of them one hundred percents. I look up at her still confused. "Those are your scores Ms. Anderson." I try to hide my shock, I don't believe I got full scores. How is that even possible? I feel Sawyer looking at me, I turn to see his face and I catch a quick smile. 

"So I passed?" I ask, not sure where this is going.

"We have the right to believe you have cheated. You see, in over a decade no one has ever come close to ever fully passing this test." Great, I'm being accused for something I didn't do. Sawyer scoffs and looks angry at Martha.

"Where is your proof? Sawyer says.

"We have the scores to prove them." She counters. Scores aren't enough proof.

"What about your proof? Should I show them that, I mean him that?" Sawyer remarks. I look at Sawyer, he's succumbed to black mail. Not a good idea.

"What do you mean?" She says.

"The excuse of staying long nights. Your office is decorated more like a home than an office. You have an extra pair of shoes under your desk, expensive ones; which leads me to believe you have an extra set of clothes in your drawers. The question is who are you seeing late at night?" Sawyer says in one sweep. So not blackmailing, he's doing that creepy observing thing. I hear one of the cops cough and Sawyer has a wicked smirk plastered on his face. I look at Martha her face has paled.

"I have no idea what you're talking about?"

"Stop it." I nudge at Sawyer again.

"No it's fine, he doesn't know what he's talking about. He's angry because he can't see you're a cheater." Martha says.
