Carver the Terrible

During a game of soccer, Carver accidentally trips one of the toughest people at his school. However, all the others who saw it occur begin to respect him out of fear due to their belief that he tripped the bully on purpose. Carver's friends know that he didn't do it, but will they manage to convince Carver to tell the truth before he pays a heavy price for his lies, or will Carver continue to exploit the situation to his advantage, despite knowing that it's wrong?
