The situation

Your group got caught leaving the school field at lunch, which isn't allowed. Before the teacher got to you, the others quickly agreed on a story: "We didn't realise we'd gone past the line — we thought that bit was still allowed." It's not true. You all knew exactly where the line was. But everyone's going to say it, so it'll sound believable. Now the teacher's asking each of you, one by one, what happened. The others have given the agreed answer. You're last. You can say the same rehearsed line and keep the group solid, or you can tell the truth and be the one who broke ranks. Everyone's watching to see if you'll hold the story.
