Did she come to school the next day with lots of eyeliner on?

She dobbed me in to a teacher (which was well within her rights) but omitted the bit - i.e. most of that afternoon - where she and her friend threw rocks, kicked, and generally smacked me about (which wasn't).
Luckily my friends believed me, even if no-one else did. The teacher ruled that he couldn't prove anyone's story and just let us both off the hook.
I can appreciate this story is tame by a lot of peoples' standards, but it was one of the worst days of my life. It was the first time that I failed to meet my own standards, and lost my self-respect. Also I made someone cry, which is never good.
