touch or throw a rock. Kyle got cross with Robin and he picked it up and threw it down the quarry. I panicked and wanted to go and tell your mum. Kyle said I had to keep my mouth shut and do as Kieran said. When I got home I told my mum what had happened. She said we had to keep the peace with Mrs Morris and not aggravate the situation by blaming her boys. Mrs Morris had a hold on my mum. She was advertising their stolen stuff on my dad’s home computer using an old email address. Some of the goods came from the church and our school. If I didn’t take the blame, Mum would go to prison with Mrs Morris. I am sorry I lied to everyone but I would never have hurt Robin. He was and still is my best friend.
Yours faithfully,
Jake R. Cooper.
