A/N sorry for grammar and spelling errors, I speak english as second language and published it without looking over it a second time. What do you guys prefer? That I check one time extra but you need to wait one more day for me to publish the chapter, or that I do as I do now: write it in half an hour and then publish it?
Let me know what you prefer, and by the way, thank you for the reviews I appreciate them very much!

"I am not taking the blame for this buddy" Tony said angrily to the other Tony.
"What did I do?" the other Tony smiled innocently.
"Either you tell her we switched places or I do"
"Not that she is gonna believe you but go ahead anyway". Tony glared at him before returning into the classroom. He could feel the others gazes on him. Not even his friends seemed to understand why he couldn't take the blame for this. On the other hand not many of them had actually met Gibbs. For various reasons. For one his dad was pretty strict with who his sons were friends with and would most certainly not approve of some of his friends. At that thought he felt a sting of guilt. His dad meant well after all and lying to him and even if he didn't outright lie to him he hadn't told him the whole truth either, a habit that could jeopardize his safety in the future. The other main reason was that his dad seldom made it home before dinner time and most of his friends had to be home by then. Tony sighed and blinked sharply trying to focus on his upcoming task.
"Ms Ryan, may I have a word with you?" Tony asked politely trying to be as respectful as possible.
"Of course. What's your name son?"
"Anthony. Anthony Gibbs that's what I wanted to tell you. Me and the other student switched places, thinking it would be funny. I am the real Tony Gibbs, please, you have to believe me"
"I am sorry son, but I can see the rest of the boys and I am pretty sure they made you do this, so no, I wont change my mind. I am positive I've got the right name."
"Ms Ryan, I am the real Tony Gibbs, you can ask anybody" Tony started to get frustrated."
"My answer is no, I wont let you take the blame for Anthony Gibbs. So go on and tell the other boys that and if they give you any trouble you just tell me. I will be sure to add this conversation to my upcoming phone call to his parents."
"Ms Ryan..."
"No, now go on or you'll be late." Seeing she wouldn't change her mind he did as told. He understood the substitute's thinking but he couldn't help feeling frustrated even though he knew she just tried to do whats right.
"I hope you are happy now" Tony said as he angry pushed the other Tony against the wall. You just gave me a months grounding. The other Tony smiled innocently once again.
"Stop smiling" Tony growled and took a step forward to push him once more when the other Tony suddenly changed expression to one of fear. Confused Tony took one more step towards him when the other Tony yelled:
"Please don't hurt me"
"What?" chocked Tony took a step backwards.
"What's going on here?" an approaching teacher asked.
"He attacked me out of nowhere. He is mad cause I wouldn't take the blame for his behavior". Tony rolled his eyes, yeah like anybody actually would believe that. Looking around though he saw that his friends were long gone and the only people around seemed to believe the other Tony.
"Who are you?". Seeing that it was his maths teacher ms Duncan who would surely have recognized him Tony didn't answer.
"Anthony Rizzo" ms Duncan gaped at that.
"Ms Duncan it's the other way" Tony tried to explain.
"So you didn't push him? He pushed you and then fell against the wall?" she asked with raised eyebrows.
"I pushed him" Tony admitted "but the rest is the opposite, we changed names and now he is framing me"
"He's lying. You can ask ms Ryan who got into trouble. Him or me. He is just territorial, can't stand the thought of another Tony here"
"Okay that's enough both of you. Anthony Gibbs you know better than to push people whatever reasons you think you have. Mr Rizzo I will be sure to ask her and after that decide what the consequences will be" Ms Duncan couldn't believe her eyes or eras. Anthony Gibbs was a fairly well behaved student. Sure he got into trouble but above all he was a sweet and respectful. This behavior was totally new to her and she couldn't quite wrap her head around it. Perhaps it was like the other boy had said, that the Gibbs boy just was territorial. She sighed and turned to him.
"I'll let you know what punishment I have decided on". Whit that she dismissed the two Anthonys and watched them walk away.
