Input: Right now I am a senior in high school. I am a pretty good student and I try to help my friends out as much as possible when it comes to schoolwork. This year, I have started branching out and talking to people I haven’t typically talked to. One of these people, let’s call him Joe, has become pretty close with me. We have a bunch of classes together and we study and help each other out. Recently, we have been overwhelmed with tests and assignments and have had a hard time keeping up with everything. 

So flash forward to today, Joe is cramming for a test in math and I am pretty calm because I know most of the material. Before the test, I get a text from one of Joe’s closest friends which basically explains that Joe is using me to do better in school. At first, I don’t really believe him but when I think about it, it starts to make more and more sense. Joe and I typically are pretty honest with each other but I do find it weird that we are suddenly best friends after three years of not talking to each other at all.

When we get the test, Joe sits right behind me and he expects me to show him the answers and work like usual. Instead, I decide to not show him anything and let him take the test on his own. Obviously I felt bad about doing that because I knew he wasn’t ready, but I was sort of upset at the fact that he could potentially be using me. After the test, he is sort of pissed because he was relying on cheating off of me in order to do well. I know that sounds bad, but I had already told him that I would let him cheat off of me so he didn’t feel the need to study. If I had let him know I wasn’t going to let him, he would have had more time to study.

So Reddit, AITA?
