Did you hear about Anya?”
Ruth looked up from her reading book to see her friend Eliza next to her.
“What did you say?” Ruth asked.
“Shh! Keep your voice down!” Eliza whispered. “I asked if you’d heard about what Anya did.”
“No? What happened?” Ruth asked.
“She cheated on the Bible quiz we had before lunch!” Eliza hissed.
Ruth was shocked. She didn’t know Anya very well, but she knew Anya was one of the smartest girls in their class, and she was especially good at knowing a lot of things from the Bible. Why would she need to cheat?
“Are you sure?” Ruth asked slowly.
“I’m positive!” Eliza said. “William saw her, and he told Kalia, and she told Max, and he told Amy, and she told me.”
Ruth frowned. That seemed like a very long way of hearing something.
“I just can’t imagine Anya doing something like this,” she said.
Just then, their friend Ella dropped into the seat next to Ruth.
“Can’t imagine what?” she asked.
“Anya cheated on the Bible quiz!” Eliza whispered to her.
“No way!” Ella exclaimed.
“Shhh!” Ruth hushed both of them. “We don’t know that for sure, and I don’t want Anya to hear you talking about her.”
What happens next? Tune in to find out.
