This chapter is called Innocence, and is the usual framed story. Hope you guys enjoy nonetheless.
The school was lined up as Principal Brown looked at them with a angry glare. "Now, I know you are wondering why you are here." He said, his tone showing a frighting amount of anger. "Well, let me tell you that one of you decided to spray paint the school hallway with profanity!"
Everyone gasped. They began to mutter amongst each other, but Principal Brown cut them off. "But we watched some footage on the cameras, and found out who did it." The video played...and showed a very similar looking girl.
"Carmen?" Alan muttered, but everyone instantly looked at her. "It wasn't me!" Carmen proclaimed, but it fell on deaf ears. "Oh, but then who is this in the video?!" Principal Brown yelled, and the kids shot glares at her too. "I don't know, but I swear I didn't do it!"
"I find that hard to believe. You will be suspended for the rest of the school year!" Carmen gasped. She had no education, and judging by the glares, no friends...
"But mom, I didn't do it!" Carmen repeated for the last time. "I'm sorry Carmen, but the footage shows you, and just you, spray painting the walls. Now go to your room, your grounded!" Her mother repeated angrily. "But I didn't do it, and I haven't eaten-"
"NOW."
Carmen ran up to her room and sat on the bed. She layed on her bed and sobbed into her pillow. 30 minutes later, something was hitting her bedroom window. "Huh?" She opened the windows and saw Alan. "Oh...hey Alan."
"Carmen, can I come in?" Alan asked his girlfriend, to which she nodded yes. He floated into her bedroom. "Let me guess, you're here to say we have to break up..." However, Alan answered differently. "No, I'm here to say...have you been crying?"
"No."
"Your eyes are red."
"...Okay, I was..."
"Well, I came here to let you know that I believe you didn't do it." Carmen went wide-eyed at Alan's words. "Really?!"
"Yup." Alan said calmly, as Carmen pulled him into a hug.
Carmen sighed as the days have went by. Her parents were less strict, but she was still grounded. But today came a big change. "Carmen!" Alan called near her window. "Yes, Alan?" She asked. "Bobert reviewed the footage, he noticed it wasn't you! It was Bomb Guy wearing a cactus disguise!"
Carmen blinked. "My name's clear?"
"Yup, and I just told your parents." Just then, her mom and dad came into her room. "Carmen, we made a mistake...it wasn't you." Her mom said with guilt. "Will you forgive us?" Carmen smiled. "Of course."
After a few moments of talking with her parents, Carmen came outside to Alan. "So wanna go out on a date?" Carmen asked. "Sure thing, Carmen." Alan said happily.
So everything went back to normal...aside from Bomb Guy being expelled for spraypainting profanity and framing another student.
