Ingrid <em>had<\/em> painted the graffiti on the school. That relieved Samantha immensely, but it didn\u2019t last. He had also blamed Ingrid for the other pranks, and Dr. Ashworth had accepted that as fact. The more Samantha thought about it the more it made her feel guilty, especially since Ashworth was going to suspend Ingrid. Samantha\u2019s moral code wouldn\u2019t let her just walk away. She informed Dwayne and Renee that she was going to take sole responsibility for the pranks she was involved with.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here I was standing across the counter from Ms. Farrow again. This time I was in real trouble. It seemed odd that she had actually smiled at me and seemed to think Principal Ashworth would be pleased to talk to me. I doubted it very much. To tell the truth I expected to be raked over the proverbial coals.<\/p>\n<p>She walked over to the Principal\u2019s door and rapped on the frame. \u201cMiss Pederson to see you, sir.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSend her in.\u201d It almost sounded jovial.<\/p>\n<p>My knees went weak, and sweat formed on my forehead. I wished there were something to hold onto as I walked to his door. I stopped barely outside the door and stood there paralyzed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCome in. Come in.\u201d He beckoned to me. \u201cWhat can I do for you, Miss Pederson?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I stood directly in front of his desk, and my words stuck in my throat. I was committed. I had to get them out.<\/p>\n<p>He must have noticed my distress. \u201cIs something wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I swallowed hard and said with a catch, \u201cYes \u2026 sir.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He frowned. \u201cIs it something I need to take care of?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I realized I was slouching and straightened my back. My voice seemed to be coming from someone else. \u201cNo sir, it\u2019s something I need to take care of.\u201d My voice speeded up as if of its own accord. I reeled of the list of pranks I had been involved with, starting with the broadcast booth incident. \u201cSir, Ingrid had nothing to do with those. I take full responsibility for them. \u2026\u201d A tear ran down my cheek.<\/p>\n<p>He leaned back in his chair and interlaced his fingers over his stomach. His expression was bland, almost as if he hadn\u2019t heard me. I kept waiting for the explosion, but he sat in silence. Finally he leaned forward. \u201cYou realize that stunt with the broadcast booth was one of the most embarrassing experience I\u2019ve ever had?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I couldn\u2019t speak. I couldn\u2019t move. I stood there frozen, waiting for what came next.<\/p>\n<p>He studied me for what seemed like forever, that same bland expression on his face, and my heart kept sinking the whole time. Finally, he spoke. \u201cMiss Pederson, you have presented me with quite a conundrum.\u201d\u2014I did a quick check of my mental dictionary: a complex puzzle.\u2014\u201cFirst of all, you deliberately played a malicious prank on me. Then you had the courage to come forward when someone else was blamed for it. Moreover, that person had deliberately placed the blame for a prank she did on you. And I took her planted evidence over your word.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He paused and stared at me again. \u201cWhat should I do with you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I couldn\u2019t think of anything to say.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I spoke hesitantly, \u201cSir, I expect the \u2026 appropriate punishment for \u2026 what I did, \u2026 whatever is standard. I expected that if I was caught going in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI see.\u201d He frowned slightly. \u201cIn other words you thought what I had done to you warranted your actions.\u201d He didn\u2019t say it as a question, but he seemed to be waiting for a response.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was angry. I had been blamed for something I hadn\u2019t done, and my word had been doubted. Sir, I was brought up to believe that I should never tell a lie, and I don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Again he frowned slightly. \u201cFor that I apologize. But there is another point. I noted that you said you take full responsibility. Some of your pranks appeared to require more than one person. Did you have help?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There it was. Was he going to keep pressing the issue of my helpers or would it stop with my admission there were others? Still, I wasn\u2019t going to lie. \u201cSir, I\u2019d rather not answer that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAh, but I must know your answer. Of course, the fact that you don\u2019t want to answer clearly implies you\u2019re protecting someone else.\u201d His eyes bored into me.<\/p>\n<p>I frantically tried to think of something to say that would clear Dwayne and Renee, but they had both volunteered. \u201cSir, as I said, \u2018I accept full responsibility.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo you refuse to implicate anyone else?\u201d This time the frown had turned serious.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSir, I\u2019d rather not \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Farrow interrupted with a loud, \u201cYou can\u2019t go in there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Principal Ashworth and I both looked at the door. Dwayne came through first, and Renee followed. Dwayne stopped on my right, and Renee stopped on my left. They both stood at a rigid attention.<\/p>\n<p>Ashworth pushed his chair back and stood. He seemed to take on a force of authority. \u201cWhat is this?\u201d he growled.<\/p>\n<p>Dwayne was first to speak. \u201cSir, Samantha didn\u2019t do all of the practical jokes she\u2019s admitting to by herself. We helped.\u201d I could have kissed him.<\/p>\n<p>I turned to him. \u201cYou didn\u2019t have to do this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He and Renee responded at the same time. \u201cYes we did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ashworth spoke in menacing tones, \u201cThen you\u2019re both going to share in her punishment. Is that what you wanted?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I made one last try. \u201cBut I was responsible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was as if Ashworth didn\u2019t hear me. \u201cMs. Farrow, please contact Samantha Pederson\u2019s, Dwayne Lindquist\u2019s, and Renee Williams\u2019 parents and ask them to come to the school right away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Well, I had tried.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Of all things, the inept detective had gotten one thing right.
