I've been falsely accused
I am a 12 year old boy, on Monday, someone left a note in my friend's locker. It was signed in my name. I didn't send this note, but no one believes me. Now Isabel (thats her name) wont talk yo me, AND she got her parents involved. I cant call her, and if I try to her parents just yell at me. I can't figure out how to tell her I didn't do it, and I kind of think she's overreacting.
P.s. I might kind of like her

Perhaps the best way of demonstrating your innocence would be to get interested in figuring our who DID put the note in there. If it wasn't you, then someone out there is trying to make you look bad. You may never figure out who it is, but you should at least try.
Depending on the situation, and how well you think Isabel will react, confront her and tell her in no uncertain terms that you did not write it and that you want to find out who did. Demand to see the note itself. If she balks, or overreacts, ask her point-blank why she thinks it MUST be yours, since any idiot can write a note and sign a false name to it.
However - since she's already gotten her parents involved, that might just make things worse if she runs home and tells them that you're harassing her. If you think that might happen, skip the conversation with Isabel and go instead to the principal, school counselor, or whomever it is in your school who might handle something like this.
Once you've got the note in hand, you may be able to prove it's not yours by showing samples of your handwriting from before the note was placed (if you write something new, then it could be said that you're deliberately writing differently than usual, so it has to be a two-week-old class assignment or something like that). Again, you'll probably never figure out who actually did it, but you might be able to show that it wasn't you.
Incidentally, the fact that you "might kind of like her" is irrelevant until you get this figured out, so put those thoughts aside for the time being.

You might try asking your parents to call her parents. Your mom or dad could try and convince her parents that this was a cruel joke perpetrated on the two of you by someone who either doesn't like you or her. Maybe someone that likes her and wanted to make sure she doesn't like you.
I see this as a form of bullying by whoever did this to the two of you and should be reported to the school authorities. I would think your teachers might be able to look at the hand writing and come up with the person who wrote the note. Hopefully the girl or her parents still have the note.
If they do I strongly urge that this matter be reported to the principal for investigation. Whoever did this needs to learn this is unacceptable. If he/she gets away with something like this now who knows what he/she may try in the future.
