That student brought it to school to play with the class during breaks. It was quite normal that others borrowed it and he never had a problem with it. And it's not like the ball was taken away. At best, it had mild usage marks, which again, would have been no problem at all to compensate financially.

Edit: You might be thinking of the American-style school system where classes are a lot looser, i.e. different per subject. I'm speaking of a European(?)-style school system, where a class has all subjects together.
So, the ball-bringing student knew me and the other student quite well, and had no reason to worry that we'd not return the ball or whatever.
