"What did you do? You freak!" Clara Mitchell shouted at Thalia who had no idea what happened. One moment Clara was saying offending things to her the other moment she was on the ground. However, Thalia didn't do anything.
"What happened?" Mrs. Kollner asked as she heard the shouting, screaming and crying Clara. Thalia was just standing in the same place while the blonde girl told a bunch of lies to the teacher.
"That-that... girl, "she pointed at Thalia. "She came here and started saying rude things to me, like how ugly I am. And-and then when I was already crying from all those rude things she tossed me tossed me to the ground and-and it hurt so much," she said and she even started crying in the end.
Thalia was standing there dumbfounded.
"Oh, poor, Clara," the teacher said and she hugged the blond girl." You," she turned to Thalia. "I will have to speak with your mother. Until then, go away. I don't even want to see you here. How dare you," she said and Thalia who still couldn't believe what has just happened stood there.
"I didn't do anything," she said suddenly.
"Then how do you explain what happened to Clara?" Mrs. Kollner asked sarcastically. She was sure that the weird girl, Thalia Grace did it.
"She was the one insulting me and then... then she just fell down," Thalia said, but even she knew that her story wasn't as believable as Clara's.
"It was you," Clara said and she even pointed to Thalia.
"I didn't do anything," Thalia said once again.
"Go back to the classroom. I will talk to you later, Miss. Grace. First, I need to make sure that Clara is all right," she said and Thalia did what she was told to do even if she wanted nothing more than start shouting that she was innocent. She didn't do anything.
She was innocent.
The problem was that Clara Mitchell's father owned half New York (Mr. Dare owned the other half), so no one really cared about that fact.
She was kicked out of her first school that day, because she was violent and she hurt her classmates. No one let her prove that she was innocent.
