Grammar
Me not(?)
two pupils at school are looking in one book (pupil A forgot his book at home).
the teacher comes and asks them who forgot the book. how can pupil B say
that it wasn't him who forgot the book? can he say 'me not.' or is this incorrect?
if so, would 'it isn't me.' be better?

This is kind of an informal situation. Formally speaking, it should be "it wan't I", but this utterance is rarely used nowadays. It really depends on the background. This is also possible:
A: Did you forget to bring your boo
