Grace became best friends with Jane on her fashion design course after realizing they had a lot in common. Grace showed her friend the sketches and designs as part of their studies, which led to her scoring high marks. Jane didn't do very well so turned to Grace for pointers on how to improve her designs.
Although Grace tried to help at first, she found her friend was lazy, often complained and never showed appreciation for the help she was getting. Grace tutored Jane after about a week, but when it came to doing their next presentation of designs, she was shocked to see Jane had stolen one of her drawings.
Luckily, she was able to use other sketches when it came to her turn, but afterwards she complained to the professor. He explained that Jane was the daughter of a chairman on the school's board and he was asked to give her the best grades. After knowing that, Grace made a plan to expose her tendency to cheat and leave her with no excuses.
The final presentations would be in front of a panel of professionals from the fashion industry and Grace began studying with Jane again when she asked for help. But rather than taking her book of designs along with her, she took a different sketchbook full of famous designs from major clothing brands.
When the day of the presentations arrived, Grace went first and got a lot of praise for her work. Jane was the last one to go and she again attempted to pass off copycat designs of her own; but this time, unknown to her, she had used three well-known designs from leading companies. The experts recognized the designs and asked Jane if she had done them herself, which she insisted she had.
Jane attempted to call out Grace, who explained she knew they were famous designs and simply used them for inspiration, and Jane was kicked out of the school for plagiarism on her final exam.
