The situation: She is accused of stealing something from Jennifer, another student in class. Sally and Jennifer sit next to each other in Ms. Patel's English class. When Ms. Patel asked the students to take out their papers and pens, Jennifer's pen was missing - and Sally had one just like it. Jennifer said that Sally must have taken it from Jennifer's purse, and Ms. Patel agreed!
This is so bogus! Ms. Patel wouldn't even listen to what Sally said. Everyone uses this kind of pen. It's not even the right color ink! Jennifer uses black, and Sally always uses blue - well, almost always. It's true that she moved Jennifer's purse so she could reach her own stuff, but nobody saw her take any-thing. Regardless, now Sally is in big trouble. If this charge sticks, she will get detention; she might even be suspended. And the principal always sides with the teacher. Sally's mom and dad will kill her.
