after the little fight that you guys (or well that you started but he didn't fight back) had, you were sent to the principal office,then the principal spoke

Principal:"Let's see, can you tell why they were making a fuss in the hallways?"

you two remained silent

Principal:"Don't stay silent,answer"

you two did not remain silent, while your nerves were more evident

Principal:"Hmm....well...I'll have to call your parents."
