Just before the teacher was about to dish out an unfair punishment; detention, no doubt, a figure walked out from a classroom. It was a teaching assistant. He had never met her, but she almost undoubtedly had heard of his actions from others around school. She bent down and asked him if he was responsible for what had happened, and he swore on his innocence, tears brimming his eyes as he swore that he had no part in this mess. She agreed with him and asked him to calm down, before turning to talk to the teacher. The kindhearted woman tried to convince the teacher that he was much too weak to throw a ball that high to break something off the wall. He wanted to interject and defend his abilities, but realized that it would only make him look guilty.
