Neil was the one to notice it: Stacy Richards cheating on an examination! Henudged his friend Gary and pointed towards the front of the class.

"Check it out," he whispered.

Gary saw, but couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Stacy Richards - theice-queen cock tease of the senior class at Greenwood High - was staringintently at a slip of paper hidden on her desk under the exam. Just then,Mr.Edgar, the teacher, coughed quietly and shifted position in his seat at thefront of the class. Stacy quickly pushed the cheat-sheet back under the exampaper and looked up guiltily, her face flushing a pretty shade of red. IfMr.Edgar had glanced over at her at that moment he would certainly have knownthat something was wrong with her. But why would he be checking out StacyRichards, who had been getting straight A grades ever since she had begunattending Greenwood High four years ago? Instead, he turned his attention toNeil French and Gary Syms, who were the class trouble-makers: Neil with hislong, greasy hair and semi-stylish ripped clothes and Gary with his cynical,cutting sense of geek humour. Sure enough, they were grinning and whisperingtogether at the back of the classroom rather than writing the exam.

"French… Syms," he called out, drawing himself laboriously out of his chairand up to his rather unimpressive full hight, "Front of the class."

No longer smiling, the two boys got up and walked slowly forward, the centre ofattention, with everyone in the class looking up at them from their exams. Neilnoticed Stacy smirking at him with her typical, haughty sneer.

Bitch, he thought, we’ll see who’s laughing in a second.

"Mr.Edgar," he blurted as he reached the front of the room, "We saw…"

He was cut off by Gary elbowing him subtly, but stiffly, in the side. He drewin a breath to continue speaking, but he was interrupted by the angry teacher.

"You two have been nothing but trouble since you started this class inSeptember," Mr.Edgar announced, his full white moustache quivering withindignation. "I can no longer allow you to disrupt this class with yourinfantile jokes and games, particularly during exams."

Neil started to protest, but was again cut off by Mr.Edgar, who had worked up afull head of steam.

"You have both failed this examination. You will apologise to the class for thedisruption, and then you will leave." He glared at the two boys. "Do youunderstand?"

Both boys nodded a sullen yes.

"Any further problems," the teacher finished his pronouncement of sentence,"And you will be removed from this class permanently. Perhaps you will be ableto make up the course in summer school."

Gary didn’t react, but Neil looked up in alarm. That was about the most seriousthreat a teacher could make, short of outright expulsion. Bakersville was abeach town in southern California, and summer was by far the best time of theyear, particularly for the teenagers. Being forced to waste the summer monthsinside the stuffy high school while everyone else partied on the beach wasabout the worst fate a teenager could suffer.

Apparently cowed, Neil and Gary turned around and stammered out an embarrassedapology to the class. A few kids giggled - Neil noted that Stacy was one ofthem - but most looked away, uncomfortable at the humiliation of their fellowstudents. The two boys then filed out of classroom and into the hallway.

Stacy shrugged her blonde hair off her shoulder and looked back down at theexamination as the class returned to normal. Thank god those two geeks weregone, she thought, and tried to put Neil and Gary from her mind. In her world,there were "people" and there were "geeks", and Neil and Gary definitely fellinto the latter category. She wouldn’t even have known their names except thatNeil had spent the better part of the first term of the previous year followingher about, and had even asked her out on a date. As if! She had refused in ascruel a manner as she knew how (which was pretty cruel), and had later askedPete, her then boyfriend and captain of the football team, to beat Neil up,just to warn him off. Pete had dutifully administered the beating, and Neil hadbacked off. She had soon afterward broken up with Pete - he had lost his placeon the football team that spring - and had put the entire episode from hermind.

Reluctantly, she turned her attention back to the exam. She frowned down at thetest, as if she could intimidate the answers off the written page. Questionswhich had been easy for her a year ago now seemed impossibly hard. Stacy wasquite intelligent, and had always gotten almost perfect marks at school, butlately the constant burden of socializing - cheerleading, beachparties, studentcouncil etc. - had left her little time for schoolwork. As a result, she hadfound herself approaching the first set of school exams of her senior yearcompletely unprepared. And if she did poorly or - unthinkable - failed, shewould loose her record of straight As, and would probably fail to be electedHomecoming Queen, the goal toward which she had been working for the last fewyears. Hence, she had decided to make a few crib notes to get her through thefirst round of exams. After that, she told herself, she would get back on trackwith the schoolwork.

Looking around to make certain she was unobserved, she pushed the exam paperupwards to expose the notes she had written on the cheat-sheet…

Neil smouldered with anger as walked down the hall with Gary. That had been theperfect chance to get back at that bitch Stacy, and Gary had blown it for him!Neil’s thoughts lingered on Stacy as he grumbled to himself.

Stacy was one of those unattainable high school princesses who enjoyed showingherself off, but didn’t put out. With her shoulder-length blonde hair, perfectface (large green eyes, pert nose and thick,pouty lips), and athlete’s body(she was a member of both the swim team and the track team), she was easily themost beautiful girl in Greenwood, and every male student’s dream.

But dream she remained for most. She moved exclusively in the highest highschool social circles, and only went out with sports stars and the like. Neilhad developed a crush on her earlier the previous year, and it wasn’t until shehad sent that football jerk to beat him up that he got over her. The fact was,she only noticed guys like Neil (and Gary, for that matter) when they botheredher, and she had to put them off (or "…out of their misery…" as Neil hadonce heard her laughingly remark to one of her friends).

The two boys left the school by the side entrance and began to walk across thesouth parking lot. Finally, Neil could contain himself no longer.

"Why’d you shut me up in there?" he complained, "I had that bitch right where Iwanted her. I owe her."

Gary just smiled at this, making Neil uncomfortable. Where Neil was loud andobnoxious, Gary was quiet and strange. Despite the fact that the two had beenfriends for a number of years, Gary was still capable of unnerving his largerfriend with his strange smile and even stranger ideas.

"What’s so funny?" Neil asked nervously.

"You’re right," Gary answered quietly, "We do have her where we want her, butnot in the way you mean."

Neil was puzzled. "What are you talking about?"

"If you had told on her back in the classroom just now, Edgar might or mightnot have believed you. Probably not; you know he doesn’t like us. And if not -if Stacy had managed to hide her cheating - we would have been kicked out ofthe class for good, and been stuck in summer school. And even if he had caughther, at most she would have failed the exam, if that. The teachers love her.Then she would set her friends on us."
