In other words, say I was forced to take a test because the rest of my fellow classmates were too disruptive and/or brought it upon THEMSELVES by not being studious. Thus, what word should I utilize to state that I, being just a hapless "observer", was innocent of being "unstudious" (I don't think that it is an actual word, but I'm just using it to coincide with my usage of "studious" beforehand).

Actually, I think you are looking for the phrase: "innocent bystander". Like being in the right place at the wrong time.

say "I did not make the disruption, I was merely doing my work" or something like that. (Happens to me all the time) If you are not normally a loud person, then chances are the teacher will believe you.

There is a Latin phrase: "non mea culpa," which means "I am not responsible," or "I am not at fault."
