My entire year got suspended, then un-suspended on our last day of secondary (high school).
So it's the last day and pranks abound as is the case in most schools. The usual harmless stuff.
Three lads decided that it would be the height of hilarious to fill a balloon with water and drop it out of the library window onto some unsuspecting eejit. Now I mean proper balloon, not the little water balloons you buy.
Anyway, they heaved it over to the window and dropped it. The library was on the third floor though so by the time it got to ground you're talking about a lot of momentum. It would have been dangerous if it had hit someone.
They missed and hit a teacher's car, instantly smashing the back window.
Word spread like wildfire and we're all called into the library for a meeting of the full year. They say to dob in the culprits or we're all suspended. If they come forward we know they're going to be expelled though. Everyone knew who it was but they gave us time to talk it over amongst ourselves. The consensus was to keep our mouths shut after quite a bit of arguing.
Well, they suspended us all. We were all over 18 so went to the nearest pub. It was a bad end to a good time in the school and the atmosphere was really weird.
About an hour later the lads involved owned up and we were all reinstated. They were expelled though and weren't allowed to sit their state exams in the school.
