Aaron said in a hesitant voice, "I… don't know."
Aaron's parents angrily glared at him and then said to the Principal, "We are really ashamed with what Aaron has done, so we are okay with whatever punishment you're going to give him."
Aaron disappointedly looked at his parents.
The Principal said in a determined tone, "I gave you a chance to admit your mistake but as you didn't admit, I have to give you a punishment so that no one will ever do this kinda thing."
