No Snitching

All the students were taken to the principals office and interrogated one by one. This is how it went.

"Bring in Laya Dawson," said the Principal.
"Yes," Laya huffed walking into the office.

"Ok so are you aware that drugs was found in the classroom you were just in?".

"Well of course. Everyone knows that. You announced it before you had us escorted down here," she smartly remarked.
"Do you know who it belongs to?", asked the Principal.
"No."
"Are you sure?".
"Positive".

There was a silence in the room as they stared at each other. The principal knew he wasn't  going to get anywhere with her so he called in Kaelyn Harrison.

"Sir yes sir," Kaelyn walked in obviously high.

Good thing her goofy persona allowed her to play it off.

"Sit down Kaelyn," the Principal instructed her.

"Aw shit am I in trouble?", she plopped down.
"Are you aware that drugs was found in the classroom you were just in?".
"Oh that weed? You don't think it was mine do you?", she asked.
"How did you know it was weed?", he asked trying to pin her.
"Um everyone saw the police officers pick it up. Plus you told us that weed was found in the class before you brought us down here. Also if none of that had happened before you just told me now," Kaelyn spat straight facts.

"Ok so do you know who it belonged to?".

"No".
"Are you sure?".
"I would've said I don't know if I wasn't sure," Kaelyn laughed.
"Get out of my office...BRING IN JOHNNY JACKSON," said the Principal clearly not amused.

Kaelyn exited then Johnny came in and closed the door behind her.

"I have no idea who's weed that was," Johnny said anxiously.
"Ok you didn't even let me ask the question yet. Why are you in a hurry?", asked the Principal suspicious.
"Listen you look like a man who ain't tryna play no games and I ain't tryna play no games neither. Ya' feel me? So I came in here straight business," Johnny explained.
"Mhm....you're free to go," said the Principal. "Bring in Omar Jefferson".

Johnny walked out and Omar walked in hoping his investigation went as fast as Johnnys did.

"Mr. Jefferson I'm sure you're aware that there was drugs found in your classroom. Specifically marijuana and I would like to know if you who it belongs to?".
"No I don't," Omar answered.
"Mr. Jefferson are you sure? Is there someone threatening you to not tell?", the Principal leaned forward.
"Yes I'm sure. And no, no one is threatening me," Omar shook his head.
"Ok...let Kenn Love in," said the Principal.

Kenn walked in exchanged looks with Omar then proceeded in as Omar left.

"Do you know who the marijuana belongs to?", the Principal said rubbing his temples.
"Nope."
"Go ahead. Let in August Miller," the Principal watched Kenn walk out and August walk in.

There was another awkward silence. The Principal was already growing tired and he had only interviewed five kids. Something was telling him he also wasn't going to get anywhere with this student.

"Before you sit down and waste my time- Just stay standing. Sir do YOU know who the marijuana belongs to?", the Principal shook.
"Sir are you ok?", Auggy asked tempted to laugh.
"Just answer the question".
"Ok no sir I don't know who the marijuana belongs to".

The Principal was fed up by this time. He got up and dragged Auggy back to the other students.

"Sir what are you doing you still have to 10 more kids to investigate," an officer said.
"These kids aren't going to tell me a damn thing. Attention students. If you know who the weed belongs to raise your hand," the Principal ordered.

No one raised their hand. Just as the Principal thought would happen. Then a brave soul raised his hand.

"I know who," said James raising his hand.
"Thank you young man. Go ahead and let us know," the Principal smiled.
"The earth," James said sending the students into an up roar of laughter.
"You think that's funny!? You know what expulsion," said the Principal pointing at James.

Everyone was again silent. Sh*t had just got real.

"You know what!? Hold on before I say this. If any of you actually knew who it belonged to would you tell me?", asked the Principal.

Everyone shook their heads 'no'. Which made the Principal do something he has never done before.

"I expected that. Which is why ALL OF YOU will join Mr. James Smith in his expulsion. Yes! All 16 of you are expelled but due to the overcrowding in all the alternative schools you will just have to come get all of your school work at the end of the day. Any help you need will be provided during the end of the for you but you are to understand that during actual school hours you are not to be on the premises. Oh and for further punishment-," loud groans cut him off.

"Punishment for what?", asked Mulah.

"For not snitching," Strawberry mumbled.

"ANYWAYS like I was saying I've looked at all of your previous grades and I know how many credits each and everyone of you have. You guys are my favorite students to bad I wont be able to see you as much anymore. But cutting to the chase I noticed none of you have gym credits. As your punishment you will join one of these teams doesn't matter- dance team, cheer squad, basketball, baseball, football, etc. Just know what you want to do by the end of the week," announced the Principal. "There's a bus waiting for you all outside. Have a good day".
