`` Fuck off, it was *his* fault and you know it!'' 
 
 `` MR. FITZWALTER!'' Said the principal, spit flying onto my face. Gross. 
 
 *Oh shit. * I blinked and the spit vanished from my face, back into the principal's mouth. *Let's try this again. * `` I'm sorry, I should n't have been so hotheaded. Joe is my friend, he did n't deserve that.'' 
 
 The principal leaned back. `` Well all right, Fitzwalter. You've been a good kid and this is your first time getting in trouble, so I'm letting you off with a warning. Go back to class and be good, okay?'' 
 
 `` Yes, Mr. Bauer. Thank you for your understanding. I'm so sorry for taking your time with such childishness.'' I looked down at my hands. I was the picture of repentance. 
 
 He laughed. `` Go on, I know you do n't like missing class.'' 
 
 I gave him a shy smile and left the office. My smile burst into a smirk and I snickered. *Another perfect crime, Alex* I was grinning all the way down the hall and back to class. I went to sit my usual seat but somebody else was there. A redheaded girl who wore dark-rimmed glasses and had a copy of *Ulysses* on her desk. 
 
 `` Excuse me? That's *my* seat.'' I snapped. 
 
 `` Ms. Gardner says we do n't have assigned seats,'' she said, her voice flat. She glanced at me and resumed her writing. 
 
 I blinked. `` Hello, you must be a new student. You probably did n't know, but that's where I usually sit.'' 
 
 `` I know, you already told me.'' 
 
 *Oh. Shit. *
