Cop to



In no time Juli and Shelly got into some kind of catfight, and while Shelly was recovering from that, my supposed friend Garrett -who had been totally behind this plan - told her what I was up to. He's always denied it, but I've since learned that his code of honor is easily corrupted by weepy females.



That afternoon the principal tried cross-examining me, but I wouldn't cop to anything. I just kept telling her that I was sorry and that I really didn't understand what had happened.



I have several questions:

1, I guess principal here is Shelly.

2, cop to anything- means admit anything?

3, From the last sentence, it seems to me Bryce himself didn't tell the truth. That's strange, he's doubted Garrett's code of honor but he himself made the same thing.

Dela I guess principal here is Shelly. From the context I conclude that Shelly is a student. The principal is the head of the whole school, so it can't be Shelly.

As for the principle, I had understook it has a meaning of "whom it concerns". But your judge of headmistress is possible, I feel. Thank you!
