Techie Cheater

Techie Cheater — page 5 — I’m glad you like them he said But there is one rule about this gadget Bridget sighed plopping back down on the couch Her dad had rules about everything No one else at your school has YouViews Some of your teachers probably don’t even know they exist You aren’t allowed to use your phone at school so the same rule applies to YouViews Okay but can I still wear them at school Bridget liked the way she looked in the glasses A lot of her friends wore fashion frames like these Okay Bridget’s dad agreed But you need to have them turned off just like your phone Okay Bridget nodded Resisting the temptation to use the YouViews at school would be difficult But she knew she had to follow the rules if she wanted to keep her new gadget 8

Techie Cheater — page 6 — The next day Bridget couldn’t wait to get to school and show off her YouViews From just looking at her no one could have guessed that Bridget’s new specs weren’t ordinary prescription glasses Walking the halls Bridget felt like a secret agent in a movie with a sneaky hidden gadget Since when do you need glasses Bridget’s friend Emma asked walking up to Bridget at her locker that morning I don’t Bridget said with a mischievous grin Oh fashion frames Emma said You look really cute in them It’s better than that Bridget said These aren’t ordinary glasses My dad gave them to me for my birthday They’re from Lingo Emma’s hazel eyes widened Then she smiled A gadget Cool You bet Bridget told Emma all about the YouViews That’s awesome What does a text look like on those Can I try 9

Techie Cheater — page 7 — Bridget groaned I wish My dad says I can’t use them at school That’s dumb It’s not like he’d ever find out anyway Bridget knew what Emma was thinking Sometimes Emma and Bridget sneaked text messages to each other during the school day I can’t Bridget explained If I got caught my dad would kill me Plus they would just get confiscated same as a cell phone Yeah I guess that makes sense But after school I want to try them Okay Sure The warning bell rang They had two minutes to get to first period Ugh Emma groaned Not looking forward to math Emma had math first Bridget didn’t have it until fifth period She wished Emma were in her class It would be much more bearable At least you’re doing well in math Bridget grumbled I mean I’m not looking forward to it because of the test today Emma said Bridget’s stomach dropped 10

Techie Cheater — page 8 — What We have a test Today Uh yeah on fractions remember Bridget started to panic In all the excitement of getting a cool new gadget for her birthday she had completely forgotten about the test She hadn’t even studied and her math grade was already pretty bad Emma put her hand on her friend’s shoulder You’ll do fine Bridget sighed I doubt it I haven’t studied at all Do it during lunch Yeah I guess I better get to class Emma said as she began walking away I’ll let you know how hard it was at lunch Okay see you then Bridget hurried toward her history classroom 11
