I hope you guys enjoy this chapter!(:

"Both phenomenons are maneuvered to persuade individuals to abide to a certain request. Foot-in-Door phenomenon is the indication that if you are successful in having another individual comply with a small request, the probability of making that same individual to agree with a much larger request is likely. Door in face tactic is first asking for something that is extreme and unrealistic and then asking for the actual desired want which would seem more reasonable to the indi--"  

"Pstt" 

I stopped mid sentence, adverting my gaze from my paper to ahead of me with a confused look before making eye contact with a struggled looking Taylor sitting across from me 

Of course, I thought mentally rolling my eyes

I raised my eyebrow in question only for her to mouth 'move your arm' as she pointed at her blank sheet

I creased my eyebrows together before looking down and realizing my elbow was covering half of my answers. 

ooooohhhhh, I thought as I looked towards Mrs. Sedesta's desk where she was sitting comfortably with her eyes glued to her computer before slyly tilting my paper towards Taylor and removing my arms from close proximity causing her to grin at me in satisfaction before paraphrasing my answers

I hated cheating on exams. Only because the anxiety of getting caught would always overwhelm me but I always found myself doing it to help Taylor

As Taylor continued writing, I kept my gaze on Mrs. Sedesta making sure her gaze remained on the screen before I'd anxiously advert my gaze back on Taylor hoping she was near to done. 

After about 5ish minutes, Taylor gave me a giggly thumbs up signaling she got it causing me to  let out a small sigh of a relief before once again pick up my pencil and finish my few last sentences

"Before I let you go, I want to remind you all that projects are due early of next week and I expect them to be stapled and on my desk bright and early" 

I momentarily shut my eyes feeling a headache emerging

Damn, another assignment being piled on I thought as I rubbed my temples in circular motion

"Hey Angela" 

I quickly opened my eyes seeing Mason standing in front of me slightly fidgeting with his backpack straps as he gave me a closed mouthed smile 

I creased my eyebrows in confusion for a split second before returning his awkward smile with one of my own

"Hey, what's up?" I asked as I got up from my seat adjusting my backpack 

"I was wondering if we'd be able to speak privately" 

huh?

I wasn't able to hide my confusion for too long this time as the crease in between my eyebrows formed once more 

"uh, sure?" I answered quite hesitantly before he nodded in response, guiding us out of the classroom

As I continued closely following him, we remained silent in our own thoughts

What could he possibly want to to talk about? I questioned staring at the floor anxiously nibbling on my bottom lip

We walked upstairs to the empty hallway before making a sharp turn right
