"And that I am not a nobody. I am the future heir of Delatour Corp. I am train to deal with someone like you when I meet them."
I saw her face turn pale. It seem like she is thinking about something.
" But ,the worst part, is that you even brought in journalists. Not only did you want to drag me in the mud, but also my family. You didn't even take into account the reputation of the school either."
"So what? I want to eliminate people like you from our society, so the best way is to do it publicly."
" Imagine, I too, thought the same thing."
I motioned to Alex and he stood up and walked over to the projector. I faced the hall.
As the president of the committee, I apologize for what has happened. We have all just celebrated Christmas and New Year with our families and friends. Coming back to school, we will never imagine such a thing."
I took a break to judge the reaction of my interlocutors. And as I want it, I had the attention of everyone. So I continue.
"If you can look to the projector screen you can see here all the crimes that Ms Collins and her acolytes have committed. They have squandered the necessary funds that the committee has gathered to organize intra and extra school activities for you. And unlike Collins, I have a lot of evidence and names here. And secondly with regard to my relationship with Ms Sara. I don't know her at all, we are just classmates. And I don't think I have such a bad taste for choosing someone with illicit behavior for my girlfriend."
I finished saying that then another photo appeared. It was Sara in the photo in a degrading situation doing degrading things. The hall exploded everyone started talking at the same time.
Sara was surprised. She knows that she couldn't stay in school anymore. So, quickly she left the room. Mr Gray approached me and asked me for the files I gave them to him then I walked slowly towards Collins who was still in shock from the revelation.
" Ms Collins I warned you, I think you are going to take a walk in prison. Security."
It was when I called security that she got out of her trance and started screaming like a hysteric that she is. After that we made the others scatter. Sara does not believe that I was going to forget it. She was partly responsible for the assault that Alexa suffered. And Chase's two cronies, I didn't forget either one of them was in the photo with Sara and the other was helping Collins steal money from the committee. I do not give much of their future career. As I thought the next day the incident was in the newspapers. Collins was arrested and the others were expelled from school. I know it was not Collins that started this, but someone else.
My father has not even announced yet that I was no longer the successor and they are already starting to want to discredit me. After this farce, the days went on. I haven't seen Sara in class anymore and I don't care. Soon it will be Valentine's Day and we have decided to prepare something for school. Not much, just some fun and games. So we started to prepare everything so that everything goes well when my day arrives.
During those days Jamie was very busy preparing the package he wanted to give Alexa. Since the day Chase harassed her, he has spent a lot of time with her. I know I'm crazy in love with her. But until now we haven't put a status on our relationship so I wanted to take this opportunity to finally do that. I don't want us to do things too quickly. We are still young. All I want is for us to grow up together. I have been preparing this gift for several days already.
"What can we offer to someone who is already rich?"
So I decided on something simple but meaningful. So I bought a very pretty curb chain then I added several charms in which I inserted several photos of us which tells in order a story of the two of us. I hope she will like it. I am very bad at choosing gifts.
But it was not only Jamie who was preparing Valentine's Day too.
Alexa was busy staring at the recipe book, wondering whether she was doing the right thing. This was the first time Valentine's Day was celebrated at the school since she enrolled and she was quite excited about it.
Excited, but worried as well.
She looked over to the other two. Ale and Anabel, who were giggling as they were going through the list of ingredients to buy.
The three of them were here to test out several types of cookie recipes, to find the best one to make for Valentine's Day. I had wanted to make some for my class members as a gesture of friendship.
"I still feel it should be chocolate, not anything else,"
I insisted as I flipped through the pages.
"We've gone through this, Alexa"
Said Anabel,
"It doesn't really feel personal enough when it's chocolate. I mean, it's just melting chocolate and putting it into a mold. We can accompany it with something else "
"Yeah, but isn't chocolate naturally associated with Valentine? That, and flowers."
"Cheesy confessions, too,"
I said with a sigh.
"Is there someone you plan to confess to, Alexa"
Asked my brother.
"No, of course not,"
I scoffed,
"No one catches my interest."
"Hummn yeah and you think I will believe you"
I Turner my head and look at my brother and said.
"I don't want to talk about this. And the subject is closed"
They didn't say anything else and we continue with the preparation.
