I may get caught cheating on my finances exam

Long story short I just had two exams – one after the other one required me to use LockDown Browser and the other one was in CANVAS. The second class is Finances and I asked a friend who already graduated from the same campus on Finances to help me answer some questions.

With that being said, the final question allowed us to attach a file with the procedure and I sent a PDF file of the Excel sheet. The Excel file has my friend as an author and I completely forgot to change/remove such a basic thing- later on, there is a modification done by me.

I sent an email right away after noticing the PDF was a mess just to notice the author thingy. I tried recalling the email but hey, 2021, and we still cannot edit tweets nor delete sent emails. I sent like two additional emails explaining that I messed up not adding my name on it and bla bla bla.

Additional information:

The teacher asked us to join the Zoom meeting via phone and record our screen, hands, and desk at ALL-TIME.

Update: The teacher just replied to the email with the correct file that has a name and no friend author.

In case, just in case the teacher finds out about the author what could be a good excuse?

“Teacher I had an exam before this one that required me to use Lockdown and my friend’s laptop already had it so I proceeded to do the exam on the same laptop”

“Teacher at that time my friend was at my house- my laptop had a BSOD so I proceeded to use his laptop”

“Teacher I visited my friend and had no laptop- proceeded to use his and do the exam”

I am so nervous- I am such an idiot because I graduate next semester… way too freaking go and messing up things. Finally, I would also like to add that the teacher said “It is not necessary to upload any file but if you want to overview something then you won’t be able to”.

I simply do not what to think, do, or say… I am shocked and the worst thing is that they upload grades this weekend but I have classes with her once a week (THU). Also, my friend lives like 3 hours away from me.
