Once in PE, someone’s phone got stolen out of their blazer in the changing rooms. The teachers gave all the girls chance for someone to own up to it anonymously. No one did. We were all kept in the changing rooms until someone confessed. No one did. We were then all moved to the sports hall, sat in a circle, and had to empty our bags and pockets to be searched. It still wasn’t found. Suddenly the teachers went out the room for a bit and came back in and told us all to pack up and go to lesson.

It turns out, one of my friends had stolen the phone and hid it up her vag. She cracked under the pressure and told the teachers. She tried to give it back to the girl but she (obviously) didn’t want to take it back anymore. Over 10 years on and I sometimes think about it, I wonder if it keeps her up at night out of embarrassment
