and i bet the teacher could not tell you which story you were supposed to have this plagiarized from.
in a way it's a compliment that your teacher thought the story was so good, that they didn't believe it was your own.
i have had this happen in sports. i was not very sportive and tended to pick easier activities when there was a choice. there was this school sports day where the whole school was doing activities outside, and one of those activities was running for half an hour, one hour or two hours. usually i'd pick the half hour to be done with it, but this one day, my brother, a few friends and me decided to run in a group and do the two hours.
doing things in a group can be a lot easier as everyone encouraged each other. we also didn't race but it was a relaxed slow jog.
at the end we would get a pass indicating that we had completed the activity. when i showed that to my teacher, he didn't believe me.
there was no consequence of that, but if necessary i would have had three witnesses.
in hindsight the disappointment was that the teacher did not understand or recognize my capacity. i don't think he knew that i had been biking for hundreds or even thousands of km during school holidays.
