The two roommates watching on the side sensed the tension and immediately intervened, stepping in between Diana Hershey and Evelyn.
They couldn't let these two start a real fight.
If this escalated to the school authority, it could tarnish the reputation of their entire dorm.
"Keep calm! Keep calm! Both of you need to cool down," they said.
Abigail Gardner held back Evelyn, "Evelyn, maybe there's some misunderstanding here. Diana doesn't seem like someone who would cheat!"
As soon as she finished, Abigail turned to Diana, "Diana, perhaps Evelyn spoke too quickly, but remember, she didn't directly accuse you of plagiarism, it was Teacher Wilson who made the claim. If you feel you've been wronged, you should gather evidence to clarify things with him. Resorting to violence will only make matters worse! It won't solve the problem but only deepen the conflict!"
