in the dark of the night....

Tessa: ( spots Vanessa enter) You're back. I couldn't sleep, where have you been?

Vanessa: Why? you're gonna spank me on the butt?

Tessa: No, I just couldn't wait to inform you about the papers I answered with Lissa. I mean there were so simple... meaning if I was writing this exams, I'd pass. But too bad I'm not. (mood changes).

Vanessa: Come on, and stop socking your face with tears. How long are you gonna keep up with that?! Follow me!

Tessa: To where? You just got back, don't you need some rest?

Vanessa: That's my business. (takes her by the hand and goes outside)

at the teacher's hostel...

Tessa: What are we doing here? Vanessa don't tell me you're dating a lecturer!

Vanessa: Shhhh! Bring it down will you? (looks around) Come on.

Tessa: (follows her) Then what are we doing here?

Vanessa: Okay, I'm here for lecturer Anita. I want to beg her on your behalf.

Tessa: But I didn't tell you to. besides, is she aware that we'll be coming?

Vanessa: What do you take me for. Of course yes, if not we won't be here. (stops) Wait here for me (enters a door)

Tessa: Okay? (while waiting, looking around. But then there was a light out, and she heard a scream. She thought it was Vanessa, she ran in to save her. Then the power was back. She couldn't fine Vanessa in there, instead she was in the principal's room, face to face with him!) Principal?

principal: (screams for help) She did this to me!

lecturer Leman: (runs in) Sir, are you alright?! (to Tessa) What the heck are you doing here?!! Sir?

principal: (stands up from where he laid) This young lady ought to be punished! She tried to strangle me! This devil!!

lecturer Leman: (to Tessa) What?!

principal: Take her to the probation room, she will spend the night there and by tomorrow, gather all the students! She won't go unpunished!!!

lecturer Leman: Yes, sir!

Tessa: No! I came in here to save my friend! Vanessa! I heard her screams the moment she went out of my sight! (to lecturer Leman) Ask him what he did to my friend!! where is she?! Vanessa!! (the lecturer drags her out of the room).

the day comes....

lecturer Leman: (stands before the students and give an announcement.) Attention students! You are all gathered here to wittiness the expulsion of Tessa Hawkins, room 260, for an attempted murder on the principal. All because he excommunicated her from this semester's examination. Therefore, the principal has bring in the state's officials, to excort her out of the school and behind bars.

the students: (murmurs)

Principal:...This action will not be condoled in this school by any student, I'm also sick of hearing reports of bullying and gang members, if you're therefore caught, you shall be expelled! (to the officers) Go ahead and take this disappointment out of our sight!!!

lecturer Anita: (to Tessa) You are just like the rest!

Tessa: (I bitter tears) You've got it all wrong, I didn't do any of these!!

lecturer Leman: (to Tessa) Go on and follow the men!

Moneca: (laughs out loud)

Felis: (pressing through the crowd with the others behind him) Wait, will you?! we have somethings to prove!

Lissa: (screams) She's innocent!!

Moneca: What do you mean, she is innocent?!

Sanita: Yeah! prove it!!

Tessa: (says nothing but kept on crying)

Felis: Here's the full story of what happened! Moneca has been the one responsible for Tessa's predicament!

Moneca: (laughs) Seriously?!

lecturer Anita: What has she got to do with the attack on principal?!!

Felis: I'm coming to that. Moneca paid Vanessa to steal the answer keys from principal's office, and lecturer Anita helped put it in her script!

Tessa: what?!! (turns to lecturer Anita).

principal: (to lecturer Anita) how could you?! that means this poor lady was innocent?! you made me believe you!!

lecturer Anita: I'm so sorry. I needed money urgently, so I had to do what I did. (to principal).

the crowd: (gasps and murmurs)

principal: What....I was...I...

Tessa: (stops the crying) Really? lecturer Anita?! How could you do that to me! You made me miss this semester's papers! How could you. To be frank, I f*****g trusted you! You know, you're the one that is like the others, you frothy b***h!!

the crowd: (gasps)

lecturer Anita: How dare you?! You're still getting expelled from this Uni, you attempted murder!!

Tessa: Of course not, I didn't!!

Lissa: (to lecturer Anita) She is innocent, ma'am! Vanessa did took Tessa to the staffs hostel that night, but when the lights were off and then on back Vanessa was no way to be found. Looking closely, you'd see Vanessa sneaking out of the hostel after Tessa went in to look for her!

Vanessa: (to Lissa) You know what Lissa, I knew from the start that you've never liked me. So I'd be better if you stop accusing me falsely, like how on Earth will I want to do that to Tessa?!!

Sharon: Then tell us, miss Vanessa. Where were you when the lights got back?

Vanessa: (stammers) Well I....I went in to....

Lissa: Well? Come on and speak out!!

Sharon: (scoff)

Sanita: You people can't come and point fingers on us! Where's the prove?!!

Moneca: Yeah! show the prove!

the crowd: We need prove!!!....

Felis:....and the prove you shall all get!

Adams: (brings in a projector, Therisa brings in a plane white blanket, then James projected it through the PC).

principal: (shocks even more) So it's true! This young lady was innocent all along?!!

Felis: Yes sir, Tessa was innocent!

principal: (to Tessa) I'm so sorry. If you want, choose what you please to do with them. (to lecturer Anita) Meet me in my office at once!! (leaves as she follows from behind).

in the principal's office....

lecturer Anita: (pleads) Sir, you gotta hear me out. I'm sorry, I did what I did so I could get money to pay my mom's hospital bills __ __

principal: (cuts in) __ __you didn't find it appropriate to let me know?!!

lecturer Anita: My apologies, sir!

principal: Oh, shut up!! You need to be ashamed of yourself! You know what, I didn't call you here to battle words with you.

lecturer Anita: Oh sir, no! I can't take this....I mean I don't wanna loss this job, not now!

principal: Like how much did she even pay you? Is it more than the amount I pay you everyday?! You've shamed me, this commission, and most of all yourself! You can now leave us, don't let me call the securities on you!

lecturer Anita: No sir, Please! Okay look. I still got Tessa write her exams through Lissa, and I've marked them and she wrote prefectly! Well as less now it's fair.

principal: (silent for a moment) You're so lucky. Go out there and do what you ought to do to those gangs.

lecturer Anita: Oh thanks allot, Sir. I will have Moneca and those involved expelled at once!! (leaves)

back outside....

the crowd: (they are angry, they push Moneca, Ariel, Vanessa and Sanita to the floor. There are furious).

lecturer Anita: (goes out on time) Stop! Everybody!! (to lecturer Leman) How could you stand and watch this happen?!

I owe you all.

Therisa: You can count on us anytime. We're here for each other.

Tessa: Aww. (to Lissa) I'm so sorry, Lissa. I denied you, I broke your heart. If you can, could you forgive me someday?

Lissa: Don't talk like that, it'd shock you to know that I never gave up on you. lecturer Anita said you did excellently well in your test. I'm happy for you.

Tessa: Wait a minute...you, submitted those papers to lecturer Anita?!! (in tears, excited) OMG, Lissa. (hugs her) You are one in a million!

Lissa: It's okay.

Felis: Really?! Yes!, come here baby!! (carries her and turns with her around)

Sharon: Thank goodness, you're back to the Tessa you were. No more Vanessa.

Therisa: and speaking of the devil........(sees Vanessa approach them)

Vanessa: I knew I'd fine you freaks here!

Felis: And what are you doing back here? Come to say your final goodbye?!

Vanessa: (chuckles) Yeah, you can say that.

Tessa: (to Vanessa) I trusted you, I took you as my own sister and I was willing to give anything away just so I could make you happy! But what did I get in return? betrayal!! what happened to all the promises you made to me?! Our bonds and.... memories?!!

Vanessa: You know what, Moneca was right after all. Your not even smarter than her!! or did you just think that I'll forgive you for all those years and let things go just like that?! I never took what we had together seriously because it wasn't real!you fell for my trap, and not even your smartness saved you.(scoff) Yes I maybe gone, but just note that you all haven't seen it all yet. It's just the beginning. (smiles and goes away).
