Her story is weak, but she sticks to it

"I'm sorry about making a scene. And for bringing **** to school. You can punish me if you want," Chanel says miserably. "I deserve it."

"And the ****?" Diana asks sternly.

"I didn't know about them. I did X once and it kinda scared me. I don't do that."

"What other girls snuck out with you and Rose?"

"What?" Chanel looks up, startled. "Um...no one. It was just us. No one else." You're convinced she's lying but you stay silent, stepping to Rose's side of the room to keep out of the way. Glancing at Rose's bookshelf you notice the same book you found on Chanel's shelf and shrug at the coincidence, then shake your head as you assume it must be an assigned book for a class they take. You turn your attention back to Diana's questioning.

"Where did you go?"

"Down by the lake. We talked about what we did over the summer, and boys and stuff...and drank. And I guess I drank too much. I'm sorry Headmistress."

Diana stares at Chanel silently until the girl drops her eyes and starts to fidget with her fingers.

"Very well. This matter is suspended for now, but may be reopened later. The nurse wants you to rest. I suggest you lay down and recover. Good afternoon Miss Vallon." Diana gives a little nod towards the door and the two of you leave, shutting the door behind you.

"She's lying about something," you say quietly.

"I know. Let's go deal with Miss Newton. I'm looking forward to this," Diana says with a determined toss of her head.
