Why did she stay so long if Mike was hurting her? Obviously, if it's true, Mike should be expelled. But is it true?
Some girls want to rally for his expulsionβand some want to rally around Mike. The only thing that the entire student body can agree on? Someone is lying. And the truth has to come out.
