After school, you were unexpectedly called to the principal's office. The conversation was short and cold. "Come tomorrow with your father," they told you. "We'll discuss your expulsion." The word "expulsion" rang out so loudly, it seemed like the entire hallway heard it. When you left the office, it felt like even the walls were watching you. You found your friend in the school courtyard. He immediately realized something was wrong—you were barely holding on. There was only one thought in your head: if your father found out about this... Holding back your tears, you quietly said:

• Please go tomorrow instead of my father. He immediately understood what you were talking about and looked at you carefully He looked at you and after a short pause asked: — Why are you getting kicked out anyway?
