The truth

Aaron looks at her and then says, "I also didn't want to skip my classes at first, but it's unbearable for me now to continue to go to school. It's already 6 months since I've been bullied by some bullies from my school. As I was a new transfer student and a quiet person, I easily became their target. They were bullying me verbally so I thought it's okay. However, one month ago, I made myself a friend, Andrew in this lonely school so that's why I was quite happy."

He pauses for a moment, then says again, "Half a month ago, my friend Andrew asked me to study together after school so I agreed with him and went together with him to study, he told me that we can't go to his house 'cause there's too much noise, so we've to go to the abandoned building near our school. We both went there as the whole building was empty, there was no one. We both went to a shabby room on the first floor and then we sat on the dirty floor. He told me that he left his phone in the school, so he asked me to wait for him in that shabby room. I waited for him for half an hour but he didn't come so I decided to look for him, but when I reached the entrance door, the door was locked from outside… I was really afraid and trembling inside there, but no one came to rescue me. After 2 hours later, Andrew comes and says sorry for being late. I forgive him and come home. On the next day, when I was passing by the locker room, I saw Andrew with those bullies. I thought they were bullying him, but when I was about to go, I saw them laughing together so I stopped for a moment and then I ran away from there."

His mother says to him, "What happened next? Did they bully you again?"

He says to her in a low voice, "I thought it would be okay if I'll ignore them. But Andrew came to me after school, and told me that he's sorry for leaving me alone for 2 hours in that building. He told me that those bullies came to him and threatened him to lock me in that building. After listening to his explanation, I forgave him and he asked me to borrow my research paper, so I gave my research paper to him."

His mother says, "So you're saying that he copied your research paper and told teachers that you've copied his research paper. If this is the case, we've to tell teachers about it and make a complaint against him."
