Help get me out of here now help!
Oh no I’m scared and sad, why did this happen to me? I got arrested but it's not even my fault I was defending myself.
1 day earlier.
Hi Julie, wanna skip school today and break some rules for the very first time? No way, I’m staying here you should too. No way! Well you’re going without me because I’m not breaking any rules not today, not tomorrow, never, got it? Boring! Bye, see you later alligator.
2 hours later.
Um please go away sir please, then he got out a knife. Oh no what do I do, should I try to run or fight back. He got closer and closer and even closer STOP STOP RIGHT THERE SIR STOP SOMEONE HELP HELP. He cut my arm a little but I fought back and found a broken pipe so I picked it up and started hitting him. He passed out and the cops caught me so I went to jail for 10 months.
Officer I’m sorry I was just protecting myself, he had a knife and was trying to kill me. He should be in more trouble than me don't you think. Young lady if you didn't skip school that would have never happened, so I don't agree and you knocked him out, so you’re going to prison, now stop talking.
