There are several ways I've pictured how this issue could end up but in all ways, I hadn't pictured an instance when Julian friends would get involved. I hate the fact that my interaction with them was starting on a bad note.
The worst part of this is that bringing them here would make her statement more believable than mine. She was dragging me back to step one. If they come and state the obvious which is that they never knew about my relationship with Julian, the principal would think that I did it for petty popularity as Mabel claimed. She wouldn't listen to me and I would have to involve my parents to coerce her to investigate the issue.
I discredited Mabel. She is truly very cunning as they say but no, I am not going to let her win and humilate me, If I have to exchange words with Julian friends just to prove my point, I would.
But wait...where is Julian? Is he ignoring the principal's call?
