well learning c++ is gonna take some time and dedication. i don't think you're gonna get anything done looking at source code for hacks, now personally i have 0 experience writing hacks but i highly doubt their code would be simple enough for you to understand. personally for me i took some elective courses in school that taught me C language, and then C++ in uni so i don't really have some beginner level sources however the stickies seem to have a decent amount.
check out this one if you want https://www.mpgh.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1078938 it's sorted into levels (guessing you're gonna be either Introductory, no previous programming experience or Introductory, with previous programming experience)
when it comes to school and homework those come first, and if you're too lazy to learn C++ then you probably don't really wanna learn it that much. there are many people here who can help out but you're gonna have to be the one doing most of the work.
