Sometimes my friends are so loyal that they go overboard. Somebody saw Josh talking to this random girl last week. And without even telling me, they walked by her later and bashed her head into a locker and kept walking. It was in between classes. She didn't even see who did it, but I totally got blamed. And when the Assistant Principal hauled me into the office, it didn't help that I may have smiled when he told me it had happened. I'm such an idiot.
This girl Ivie is swearing up and down that I did it, that I'm angry because Josh was talking with her, and I'm like, "Look at your locker, and look at the class I was leaving and the class I was going to. NOWHERE near you!" She brought her little freshman friend to swear it was me also.
I never saw either of these girls before we got hauled into the office though. So we're going back and forth in front of the AP, them against me, and then maybe I accidentally dropped the F-bomb. "Who do you think I am? Tony Fucking Soprano, that I can order a hit on somebody?" Whoops. And maybe I accidentally made it worse, by umm threatening to beat the shit out of Ivie if she didn't stop screaching that I'd been the one to slam her into the locker.
The AP yelled at me then and said he was trying to believe me, but by threatening people I was making it hard for him. "It goes against school policy for you to threaten people on school property." Whatever. Let's go for a walk down the block so I can bash your head against the sidewalk then. Because that'll be okay. The AP shook his head at me and was like, "You were doing so well, what happened?" Beats me. All I did was tell my friends Josh broke up with me.
Magali and Stefania were waiting outside for me to see if I got suspended. Ivie and her friend were walking down the hall behind us and Magali turned around and glared at Ivie's friend. What a fucking mess.
Then later, Eleni told me that when Ivie was about to go into the bathroom, Stefania yanked her away from the door and told her if she valued her life she wouldn't go into any of the bathrooms. It's like a fucking tsunami of revenge. So I have a bad feeling that I may wind up getting suspended soon, for somebody else. Great. Somebody told me colleges don't find out about stuff like that at all - that it's not like they get a list of how many times you were suspended or anything, but I'm not sure.
This morning I talked to Heather, and told her I didn't do anything to Ivie and didn't ask my friends to either, and asked if she thought I should talk to Josh. So she's going to talk to him and find out if he's mad at me. Then she hugged me and said, "We still love you, even if Josh doesn't." Which made me feel so good I almost cried, because I kind of thought all my smart friends would drop me.

As far as the fight that the other girl started, it sounds like you kind of dug yourself a hole with the threatening the other girl and all that. If you talk to the VP again about it, maybe explain that you were really upset by the accusations and how she handled the situation, which meant that you let your temper get the best of you, but you didn't mean it at all and that you truly weren't the one who bashed her head into a locker. I would imagine that you probably wouldn't want to be anywhere near Josh at the moment, and you could probably point that out too. Not sure if that will help though.
As for your friends, it's great that you have friends like that. I know it probably isn't the best thing to hear, but no matter who you date, a friend like that is always someone you can go to no matter how the relationship turns out.
overboard indeed ... this sounds like a bad situation.
no use for me saying now that meeting at the AP office could have gone better. i have moments where i can't hold my tongue, too.
can you do something to stop that situation from getting out of control? maybe spread the word that you are getting in trouble because of it. that can't be anyone's intention, since it seems they are doing this out of solidarity for you. or maybe they even enjoy having a scapegoat.
that girl probably isn't even the reason josh broke up with you. but as we've found out, most people prefer simple solutions and having someone to pick on can be nice for a change.
i sincerely hope that was the end of that. i wouldn't want you to get into any more trouble because of people trying to take revenge in such a silly way.
