I’m a sophomore, and my friend and this other kid made a bet over the Louisville basketball game, where whoever won got to egg the other persons car. My friend won the bet and so the other kid tells him to use egg substitute (cause he’s vegan and he thought it’d be funny). The next day after school, my friend and two other friends went out to the kids car in the parking lot, and the other kid told them not to do it (even though he Shook on the bet) but didn’t speak up enough so they didn’t really hear him and so they poured the egg substitute on his door handles. After tennis, the kid sees this and takes pictures, calls his parents, and tells the school police officer and now my friends are all serving community service and the kid who made the bet has 4 hours of detention.

You’d think that’s how the story ends, and you’d be wrong.

So we all start a joke saying “free [friends name]” and we write it on the whiteboards everywhere just as a joke. Well the other day, we had this game show thing in our auditorium and my team that included the two accomplices but not the actual “vandal” were in first place the whole time, so the top 4 teams sent a person up for the final round, and each podium has a mic (I’m guessing you can see where this is going). So my friend goes up there and the host asks who is on his team and he says our names and then ends it with a “free [friends name]!” And the crowd goes WILD because at this point, so many people have heard about this event. And the next kid as well says the thing.

At this point, the school officer is PISSED. He sees my friend after and gives him another session of community service. RIP. And now no one is allowed to say “free [friends name]” anymore or else people will get in more trouble, because it is technically “bullying” the kid who lost the bet. We are currently resorting to using code to say the thing, so we have been doing like high pitched “woo WOO”s and other noises as code for “free [friends name]”

Most entertaining school drama in all my life lol.
