"I climbed out of a window, but it was on the ground level. I climbed out of the window, I don't know why.

"I climbed out the window during Spanish class, they closed the window behind me and then I would wave to my teacher through the window.

"But I'd do it without her noticing. That was the crux of it, like get out before she notices.

"And that got me in a lot of trouble, just generally being like, fairly naughty in general.

"We went into the boys' toilet, and that was apparently really naughty as well.

"So those were all kind of strikes that led up to me being suspended."
