a school friend of mine got detention for a week after he was caught with a note that had some swear words in it. i was the one that passed it to him..
aw, that just shows that he is a great friend. maybe you can treat him to lunch for the rest of the week for taking the fall for you. i am sure he would really appreciate that
he was a courageous one, and took the fall himself. which actually made me feel even worse, but it taught me a lesson about integrity and honor.
