1390 Words
"Okay calm down now everyone." The principal said. "I am pretty sure it is just a prank by someone who hate this school. Don't mind its threat, I will make sure that whoever this person behind the mask will be expelled immediately for threatening all of us." He added.
Mr. Holland, the principal look at me and nodded at me giving me assign to finish my speech.
"THIS IS NOT A PRANK!" One of the football players said. "Look at Ares, he look terrified and scared because his secret was revealed, probably pissing on his panty right now." He added and the other player laugh with him. "He is obviously not having fun to this prank, but having fun to Mr. Antonio." Fernando climb in and laugh.
"Stop it you two! Do you think this is a time for joke right now?" I said and pointed out to them. "Maybe it is you Mr. President. Maybe you are the one who did this, so we will obey you." I look to the person who blame me for this, obviously the only person who hates me, Austin. "If I want you all to obey me, I would do something lighter but remarkable, not this horrible plan. And how could you say that? Do you have nay proof?" I said. "It was your presentation indeed. And proof? Maybe not now, but I'll make sure you are going to be busted by your own game." He said and the other players agreed with him, football players.
I sigh and I wanted to attack him but I couldn't.
The only person who is not happy for my success is him.
I never really know why, but he hate me so much so I hate him, we hate each toher since Chase is still alive.
And if I have the guts to make him disappear, I will do it, so no one can bother me again.
"C shared me my secret, I am a victim too here, we all are. Why don't you shut up before C choses your secret to be revelaed next? Maybe when that time comes, everyone who look up at you, will disgust you." I said and everyone is just confuse on what I am talking about. I know I should be a role model to everyone since I ma the president, but I just couldn't stop myself from talking back.
As the president of this school, I will never allowed bullying, so how could I stand up for that mission if me myself and I are getting bullied by these football player?
Austin never changes, he still is the same even after 2 years.
He never had a lesson when I poisoned him, I should've put a lot of poison mushroom to him, so he would die instantly, but I still remorse for what I did, I am not a murderer, and will never be a murderer.
"it's not like my secret is worse than yours. And a victim? I do think Chase have a different opinion for that." He added. "What are you talking about?" I asks him. "Your secret is no other than you killing Chase, and pinning it out to your best friend Henry! How could you do that? How could you do that to your only friend? So you can have this nice life that you are having right now? So you can be a president? Jeez Jackson, be real for once! You think Henry will accept you as a friend again/ After what you've done to him/ You are a betrayal! So you are not a perfect fit for this role! And you will never be one!" Austin said.
Instead of people being panicked to what is happening to them, because of C, it looks like we are entertaining them. They are just all in silence and just listening to what we are saying, what we are fighting.
"See? You''re the one who should be real to yourself! You want me out of this position so you can have it! You know what Austin? You are no worse than Henry as a murderer, because all you are is a copycat! You want everything! From Chase position, to my position! You are obsessed to others success, because all you can have is nothing! So you are doing everything yu can to have the success of others, no wonder why you become the Footballs player's captain, no wonder why you are new Sarah's boyfriend. Should I tell to everyone what you did? Not just to Sarah, but to me too? So you have no rights to tell me who I am because you are never be others than me, because you are the same like everyone else, same like me, but the difference is, you are worst than us." I answered him back.
Did he think I am the same Jackson 2 years ago? Because as far as I can remember, the Jackson 2 years ago, died along with Chase.
Because I changed, ever since I thought I killed cAHse, ever since Chase died.
I am not the same weak Jackson that Austin can push around and act like nothing happened.
I am different now, specially to everything I've been through? I don't think that, that Jackson, will be back.
Because that Jackson, won't be back, unless Chase came back alive again.
I don't care if I am talking back in fornt of everyone, I can't let them step onto me, because whoever steps onto me, will burn.
"You know what students? As your president of this academic year, I will show you how to not shut up when you feel like you shouldn't! I will teach you how to fight back, because we never know if someone is going to stab us behind our back, I don't care if it is literally, or not, but I will never let anyone become a victim anymore, to the person like this jackass Football player, and their leader Austin Kobe! And to whooever this f*****g person who is threatening us for our secret! EBcause nothing is going to change, to improve, if we stay hidden and secretive. If we let these people step on us! So from now on, bullying is a big issue this school year! If someone bully you, tell me, and they will be punished as they will cleaned the whole campus for 2 nights! If you never stop, I will make sure, you never appear to these victims again, so I am rooting to all of you, I am needing your cooperation! Don't be afraid to fight!" I said and I drop the mic on the ground and exit the stage to have a wholesome exit and outro that will be remarkable to everyone.
I can hear the cheering, clapping, shouting.
I can hear them supporting me.
And that is the nicest thing I've ever heard in my entire life.
Why?
It is because no one ver supports me before, not like now. I felt like I'm a God. Maybe it's not that bad to be a student coucil president at all, everyone is going to obey you, everyone is going to respect you.
I never received any respect before, even before Chase died.
I mean, yeah, maybe it is bad that Chase is dead, poor him, but there is something good either to that death, everything I ever dreamed of, turns into reality.
"Good job mr President." Mr. Prinicpal said and I just smiled at him and bowed myself to him, praising myself.
Can you imagine it? Even the last student council couldn't even get everyone's attention, but now...
Look at me.
I have everyone's attention.
I stop walking when my phone vibrated.
I look to it to see aa notification, a message notification, from no other than C.
I wanted to ignore it, but I juts couldn't there is something part of me telling me to always answer C, but I don't know why.
Like I couldn't escape him, I have this same, exactly same feeling before, 2 years ago, like I couldn't escaoe him, like wherever I go, he is there, C is there.
'What a nice speech, no wonder why you are so protective about your secret...'
I just ignored him and keep walking when someone hold both of my shoulders.
