Chapter 7: Multiple Pleas

"Ms Arellano, Ms Bernardo, Ms Layla and the rest of you sitting on the corner table, please to the principal's office," said the assistant principal. The company was escorted by her while Fritz holds a grudge against Ricky. When recess came, she asked Iñigo to challenge him again in a fight, to which Iñigo says, "That guy's a an immature weenie. He's not worth slapping." "No, Iñigo. I want him dead," Fritz demanded to which Iñigo responded, "Woah! Girl, you want to go that far into commiting crime?" "I hate his disciplinary enthusiastic hypocrisy. He annoys me. He kept criticizing everything we do. He never even does that to anyone else outside our section. Inconsistent, right?"

"Baby, listen. We cannot afford to defend ourselves in court or be sent to juvenile court or something. You gotta learn to stop and think about the consequences," Iñigo explained. But his words fell on deaf ears. Fritz, later that night, asked Nicole via email where Ricky lives. Two days later, she went to his subdivision and rang his doorbell. Ricky answered it and called, "Oh, you're Iñigo's girlfriend. What do you want? It's already pretty late. Go home." "No no, Ricky. I want to say sorry," responded Fritz. Ricky angrily answered, "Garbage. You could have asked me that at recess. But even if that happens, you will never change. I have met people like you. They're vile and evil. So, piss off." "What about the naughty kids in other sections? Your values are inconsistent," she remarked. "Don't you dare bring me that. I only prioritize this class because I want our class to be the best and all who oppose me will be eradicated." The two opposite forces grew more blind with rage.

"Someday, you and your company will pay the right price," proclaimed Ricky as he faced away from her. While he was speaking, Fritz prepared to knock him out with a cloth of chloroform. To her surprise, Ricky reacted quickly with a punch that broke her nose. Before she can even speak, she met another blow and another. She tried fighting back but Ricky deflected her attacks. When her face was all bruised up, she tried begging for mercy with a faint voice. "Please... Please... stop... I... beg... your... mercy..., " she whimpered. "No. Discipline is ageless and genderless," Ricky coldly answered. "There's a hole in the world like a great black pit and it's filled with people like you, " he continued as he quoted from the playwright Stephen Soundheim.

Ricky noticed the bulge in her pocket. He took it out to reveal a pocket knife and quickly plunged the blade towards her throat. He stopped to collect his thougts as the girl gave up the ghost. "This is it," Ricky thought. "I've done it. Now to execute more."
