I have a twin brother. Nobody knows I do, not even my wife and daughter. Sometimes, I have him go to work in my place. Unfortunately, he went on the day my coworker’s wife died there. He blames me but is willing to forgive if I answer one clarifying question. Unfortunately, I was not there, so I don’t know the answer to the question he asked. We now both have different jobs, and have grown more hostile. Am I the jerk for not simply admitting that I have a twin who went to work instead of me, thus clarifying things?

I (6.5 F) had just started attending school. My teacher (21 F) was extremely nice to me and all the other students. Unfortunately, her aunt (48 F), who also happens to be the principal, is the complete opposite. She regularly abused the students in horrible ways. One day, I learned that my teacher's father (and the principal's brother) supposedly killed himself. Without any actual proof, I assumed it was actually the principal who killed him. Surprisingly, my teacher agreed. So, while the principal was in class, I wrote something on the chalkboard making it look like her brother was talking to her, telling her to leave town and give her house to her niece. She believed this, and now my teacher and I live in her aunt's old house. (She also adopted me) Am I a jerk for doing this?
