Being lied to and how it feels, sentence 27

Oisin's friend said the teacher called Oisin «the worst in the class» — Oisin asked the teacher, who said «I said no such thing, you're doing grand.» And Liam's class pretended all day that his birthday was «tomorrow»; Liam was miserable — till the surprise cake.

Who acts: friend, teacher, Oisin, you, class, Liam · What happens: say, call, ask, do, pretend, be · To what, where: Oisin, teacher, such thing, grand · Speech: someone speaks here
