Chapter 17 - TRENT’S SUSPENSION

School suspended Trent pending disciplinary hearing.
Football season ended for him.
Students blamed me.
His scholarship offers became uncertain.
I felt guilty.
Dad noticed.
“You didn't make him shove you.”
“I know.”
“You didn't make him take boxes.”
“I know.”
“Then what are you responsible for?”
I thought.
“Talking?”
“Yes.”
“Should I not have?”
“No.”
He leaned back.
“Consequences belong to choices, not witnesses.”

I wrote that down later.
