The accused

Just a few moments after Baxter said that, a fight broke out. No one messes with Woody, he has 2 older brothers who were both on the wrestling team. Woody was often used as the dummy. When Baxter was calling Theo names, Woody quickly responded with "shut up!" They started to fight and Baxter, being the tough guy that he was, didn't back down. Baxter's sidekick was Griff. Griff was a tiny boy who wasn't very strong. He joined the fight. Theo hated to see Woody fighting all becuase of Theo. Theo knew the punishment but decided to jump in on the fight anyway. Mr. Mount broke it up and sent them to the office. When they got there they were sitting in the office and the principal hadn't got there yet. Mr. Mount was a teenage boy once so he kind of understood. The punishment for fighting was not good. It usually ended up in suspension, and a file on your record saying you were fighting. The principal came in and was not happy. The boys had agreed to not say anything or throw anybody under the buss. She asked the boys what had happened. They said nothing. She asked who had started it. Nothing was said from the boys. She told them if no one was to fess up they would all be getting into trouble. She asked if Baxter had said something offensive to Theo which made Woody react by starting a fight and Griff and Theo just joined in. That was 100% correct but none of the boys said a thing. She then decided to take the boys one by one and ask them individually, in hope someone would crack under pressure. If anyone was to give in it would be Griff. Theo was the first in and told her nothing. She asked again if Baxter had said something offensive and Woody was defending Theo but Theo refused to tell her anything. The principal asked all the boys the same thing, but surprisingly no one gave her any information. She brought them all back in together and she suspended them akll, and the fight would go onto their school record forever. Theo hadf no idea what he was going to tell his parents.
