Out of the blue, Mr. Keaton, our homeroom teacher, appeared at the door looking none too pleased.

Fiona let out a soft "Oh" and stood up from her seat.

Seeing Mr. Keaton call Fiona out, Robert and the other boys started to fret even more.

"Dang, is Mr. Keaton about to bring down the hammer on her?"

"It must be about that forum drama. They're probably going to come down hard on Fiona, maybe even slap her with some kind of punishment."

"Mr. Keaton, you can't believe the stuff on that forum! It's all a bunch of lies. Let us track down the person who started it, and we'll make sure they regret it."

"Yeah, it's all made-up nonsense. Please, don't let this mess cloud your opinion of Fiona."

"Quiet, all of you."

Mr. Keaton shot them a sharp look, clearly annoyed.
