That is how I feel about it. But the owner thinks he might get in a lot of trouble if they do, so he is thinking about going back to the RD and telling her that two of us were actually students here and that all of us lied.

I kinda feel like that is throwing everyone else under the bus. Considering that as of now: none of us four are in any trouble, and the owner’s penalty was n’t harsh.



Sorry, but he’s not throwing anyone under the bus. You lied. He has no obligation to protect you. If you’ve learned nothing else from recent history, learn this: a coverup is worse, and will be treated more harshly, than whatever the original “crime” was.

The only way that two people can keep a secret is if one of them is dead. The odds are good that the lie will come out, particularly if you live in the same suite. Come clean, admit the lie, blame it on being scared at the moment, say you’re sorry, and accept the consequences like a man.
