ANNOUNCEMENT

The principal was acting as if she planned everything with Vivian all along, at first she dismissed Aziza according to her suggestion. Now, giving her daughter Jessica a serious warning?

"Principal, you are acting as if you were aware about this things before this meeting." Julie says immediately the Principal sat.

"No such thing happened ma, this is my first time of hearing of these things, but what can we do? The school has to set the rules and conducts right."

Backed into the corner, she looks at the woman whom she was expecting to speak on her behalf again,still she was mute.

The meeting ended and Julie matched straight to the principal's office. "Principal!!" She calls barging into the office.

The principal was not shocked or surprised, such was expected. She took her seat ignoring Julie's rude behavior. "Have your seat Ma'am."

Julie sats hastily but still annoyed. "What was the meaning of what happened in the meeting hall? give Jessica a serious warning? do you know what that means?"

"Madam, I am sorry but I can't keep turning a blind eye to the terrible things your daughter has been doing because of your donations."

"Principal!!!!" Julia calls again.

"She is a pathetic bully, a very chronic one that even her fellow students are very scared to report her."

"You should have discussed this with me, not exposing it."

"How many times do I need to call you and tell you about it?" The principal asks but there was no response. "I have discussed it with you countless times, and no positive changes instead she gets worse."

"She is only a child." Julie says lowering her tone a bit.

"I am sure you know the serious warning comes with a punishment, maybe she would get it together after this punishment."

"Please let's talk about this and settle it as adults." Julie pleads.

"With another donation to the school?" The Prince asks and there was no reply again. "If that's all you have to say, I suppose you take your leave now. I have a lot of things to do."

Julie respected herself and left silently. If Corruption was a person, it would be Julie. She always used her father's money to take care of things. Even when she needs to apologize, she let's the money do it. Now, after giving birth to her daughter out of wedlock, she didn't marry or give birth to another child. Maybe that was the reason she over pampered her.

Immediately Julie steps out of the principal's office, that woman she was looking at a while ago to speak up for her was already there waiting. "Come with me." Julie says and walks briskly to a quiet area the turns and gave her a dirty slap. "You idiot,you kept quiet all through, not even uttering a word. You sat there looking as if you planned it with that woman."

"I am sorry." The woman whispers.

"If my daughter goes down, your daughter goes with her."

"What? Emerens did nothing wrong." The woman whispers.

Yes!!!!! She was Emerens mother, people would called the women friends. But in reality Idalina, Emerens mom was the shadow of Julie. She did all the errands and dirty work for her in exchange of a luxurious life for herself and her daughter.

"She did nothing wrong?" Julie scoffs. "Just watch, how fast I get rid of you and your wretched daughter." She says and she walks out.

Vivian on the other hand, was on her way home when she saw Alima waiting patiently, close to her car.

"Hello madam." Vivian greets.

"Good morning ma'am." Alima greets and holds Vivian's hands. "Thank you so much, I really appreciate."

"You are welcome ma."

"After the divorce, I was very unhappy and had the thought I was a bad mother and wife. Only God knows the kind of pain my daughter had been through seeing that woman everyday."

"I don't know if you are a bad wife, but I am sure you are a good mother."

"Really?" Asma asks shyly.

"Yes." Vivian nods. "You raised Asma well."

The conversation ended with a nice hug and exchanging of contacts.

In the classroom, Ella was more expectant instead of being nervous as there was no news from Vivian yet. Asma was nervous and Jessica was prepared to mock Asma.

The bell rang, and the students were somehow confused. What happened? Why did the bell ring? Did something strange happen?

All students ran to the assembly hall and gathered. The principal stood on the podium and was waiting for the students to gather well before addressing them. In the hall, there were some teachers too. More than anyone else, Ella was being extra careful, Jessica could do anything.

"Students!!!" The principal start addressing the students and the hall grew silent immediately. "There is a new development now, and I want you all to be aware. To avoid confusion." The principal stops for a while then continues. "Miss Aziza has been dismissed from the school, because she broke the codes and conducts of flirting with a male parent and causing him to divorce his wife."

The hall got noisy again, as students expressed their thoughts about the situation. Asma looks at Ella and they smile at each other. Jessica was annoyed that her plans had been ruined.

"Another information I want to pass to you is that, we are no longer going to give rooms for bullies in this school, anyone caught bullying or threatening another student will be severely punished. And with the new developments, there is a particular student that would be giving a serious warning punishment for constantly bullying her class and school mates." She paused and looks around her before talking again. " Jessica!!!"

Jessica was shocked, why would the principal mention her name of all people? It took her some seconds before she could answer. "Yes ma'am."

"Step forward." Jessica obeys. "You have been constantly bullying your classmates in the school. Thus, you are going to be punished."

"Punished?" Jessica asks.

"Yes." The principal nods. "You will work on the school farm for a week and also clean your classroom after chill hours, your punishment starts today."

The students were very happy that Jessica was finally getting punished.

"Finally!"

"At last."

"Justice prevails."

Amongst all, Asma was the happiest. Emerens was dead worried, if Jessica could get punished then the same applies for her too.

"Also, I want you to know, if after this punishment you still don't change your behaviors. You would be kicked out of the school."

"Expel?" Jessica asks.

"Yes." The principal replies and the students started jubilating. "That's all for today, you can all return to your classrooms."
