The Blame That Landed on the Wrong Kid
A football smashed a classroom window, and a boy called Theo was nearby when it happened — so everyone assumed it was him. Theo didn't do it. The kid who actually kicked it, Dylan, slipped away and said nothing. Now Theo is being told off, his name's going in the book, and people are repeating "Theo broke the window" as if it's a fact. A girl called Rosa saw the whole thing. She knows it was Dylan, not Theo. She hasn't said anything yet — Dylan is popular, and speaking up means going against him and the crowd. Theo is getting blamed for something he didn't do, right in front of her, and she's the one person who could clear his name.
