Marlon was lazy, really lazy. Everybody knew that one day he will pay for it.

Marlon Baker was the class

clown, he never paid much attention to his schoolwork and was always joking around. I was in his class
and we were preparing for our last and final big examination. Myself along with a large group of children
were studying for the exam while Marlon was outside playing like a wild animal, we all said that he
would learn his lesson one day and that day was coming very soon.

We had two to prepare for this exam and I spent those two-
week studying hard and helping the other students. We all wanted to pass, except Marlon. He spent his
two Week playing and riding his bike, I was also Marlon Neighbor so I could tell you. Every day after
School when Marlon came home, he would go play with the other children in the streets or was too
busy riding his bike. I offered to help with his work a while back but he laughed at me and ran off to go
play, everybody knew that Marlon was a smart boy. He was gifted and was skilled in subjects like
Mathematics and English, but he was just too lazy.

It was the Morning of the big Examination, everybody

arrived pretty early, everybody except Marlon, we were all placed into our own seats. Right before the
exam was to begin here comes Marlon. The teacher told, him to take a seat and his seat was right across
from mine, Marlon did not look nerves there was no fears in his eye on the other hand I was beginning
to seat I felt like the pressure was on and I was ready. The teacher told us, we one hour to complete the
paper and we were to answer all the question, she then handed us the paper and our exam began.
About Thirty minutes into our exam, I was almost finish, when I looked over to Marlon, I noticed he had
another paper in his pocket. I believed he was cheating so I raised my handed and pointed him out to
the teacher the whole entire class laugh as Marlon was being escorted out the exam room. He was
cheating and we all knew that one day he would pay the price for his lazy ways. I finished my paper and
handed up to miss, I asked her what was going to happen to Marlon, she told me he would have to do
over another test and that she was glad I pointed him out.

I went home that day feeling brave and

happy, and from that day Marlon was no longer lazy, he was now studying harder and harder each day.
