My last day of school was a week ago because Arizona. The past month or so was pretty interesting because there was a protest, then our school was in the news for a couple days, there were a couple of fights, and a big pillow fight. The protest happened as a result of students (belatedly) discovering some rape allegations from like seven months prior. Basically, back in October, a special-needs girl attended homecoming with supervision. Near the end of the dance, the supervisor had lost track of the girl and couldn't find her. Apparently, the girl and some guy had went outside and into the desert by the school and fooled around. There was a police investigation of the incident, but they didn't find sufficient evidence to make a case. The girl didn't really understand what had happened. Some students found out about this way after the case was closed, thought that the school hadn't taken action, got pissed off, and staged a protest outside school on a Friday morning.
I came to school a little late that morning, got out of the car and walked up to the front of the school, and to my surprise there's a huge crowd. There's a couple posters exclaiming "NO MEANS NO!" and a lot of disorder among everyone. Most people were just there to get out of class, but every couple minutes, someone would start shouting "NO MEANS NO!" and the crowd would chant it for maybe a minute. I didn't feel like going to first period, so I stuck around near the edge of the crowd and hung out with another guy from my first period class. We find another guy we know, who's in our fourth period class. The three of us were talking about what was going on for a while, joking around. The guy from our fourth period class was joking "what if I told them I did it". So, you know, we're going along with it and egging him on to go in and get his ass kicked, thinking he was joking. Later that day in fourth period, he asks the teacher what would happen if he was "the one who did it". The teacher assumes he's just being ballsy as usual and tells him to stop talking about it.
About a week later, he stops showing up from school. At the same time, there's word going around that the administration "knows who did it" now. For the rest of the year (about a month), he's not at school. Honestly, knowing him, I'm not too surprised. He's kind of... weird.
