=The group of 7 enter Principle Huggins office, and he, unfortunately, looks very upset=

Xander: (Like I said, this dude is in a pissy mood, but that's no issue, once I clear things up)

Huggins: Hello children, I'm sure you're well aware of why I called you all here... especially you Xander, I'm disappointed in you, it's your first day, and you got into a fight?

Xander: Woah now Principal Huggins, to accuse me of fighting, would require me to have actually thrown a punch.

Huggins: So you're saying you didn't fight Chandler McCann in the lunchroom a few minutes ago, is that what you're telling me?

Xander: Well, it was more like we were playing human wack-a-mole, and this is one mole he just couldn't land a hit on.

Huggins: Then explain why Chandler is in the Infirmary with a broken arm?

Xander: Well, it's simple, he broke it by punching a brick wall too hard. Like I said before, I didn't lay a finger on him, I didn't punch, or kick him, he was just attacking me for 7-8 minutes straight while I dodged him. My witnesses here can tell you, in fact, Stella even recorded it.

=Lincoln and his friends all nodded in agreeance=

Huggins: Alright, show me the recording.

=Stella hands her phone to Principal Huggins, and plays the recording. It shows Xander dodging all of Chandler's punches, not laying a hand on him, except to parry or deflect. He watches the video up until the part where Chandler trips and falls on a plate of mashed potatoes.=

Huggins: Ah, you tripped him!

Xander: on the contrary, he tripped himself. The dude had a loose shoelace, and he stepped on it, causing him to slip and fall. He's lucky he didn't break his neck. Anyway, keep watching Principal H.

=Principal Huggins squints his eyes at Xander, but continues to play the video... He finally gets to the part where Chandler punched the brick wall full force, and started screaming his head off from the pain.=

Huggins: Ooh... that cracking noise is unsettling.

Xander: Tell me about it... But like I said Principal H, I had nothing to do with Chandler breaking his arm, dude could've just stopped trying to hit me, but he didn't, and what you saw on that recording, was the end result of his own bad decisions.

Huggins: Ok.... how did any of this even transpire, what started all this?

Xander: Well, you see, Chandler was picking on Linc here. The guy went and threw a handful of mashed potatoes at the back of his head, so I went over there and told him to cut it out. I said something along the lines of "Bullying people is what weaklings do" and he didn't take that very well, so he tried to hit me. That is how we've gotten from Point A to Point B.

Lincoln: I'm still trying to get some of the left over mashed potatoes out of my hair... Yuck!

Huggins: *Sighs while pinching the bridge of his nose,* Ok... So Chandler was bullying Lincoln, and when you stepped up to him, he tried to hit you, resulting in him hitting a brick wall too hard, and injuring his arm... is that what I'm getting from all this?

Xander: Yup... pretty much.

Huggins: Ok... Now normally I'd have to punish you, due to getting mixed up in an altercation to begin with, but since you didn't really fight him anyway, I suppose I can let you off with a warning, since it's your first day. But no more altercations within school walls, young man, understand?
