Well, miss assistant principal, she doesn't know who locked them in. But they were all stuck in there and couldn't get out. She's been doing her best to clean up after herself, but it's been really scary- that's why she was at the front door, so she could try to get help when they arrived. (She even lets herself tear up a bit. It's completely genuine.)
(sorry miss assistant principal but the transfers are Cursed or some shit)
