Class Villainess

My guess was correct. Kristen and Cerise went to the principal office after the commotion they caused in the main corridor, and the rest of the students were dispersed. 

The school bell rang, and everybody went inside their designated classroom except me. I hid inside the bathroom until everyone entered their classroom.

I sat on a stool and started tinkering with Helena's phone. This was the last step of my revenge and justice for Helena. If things only stopped like this, the Principal would only ask for clarification from Kristen. Kristen wouldn't try to deny everything, saying it was just slander and someone was targeting him. 

I didn't want Kristen to get out of this pit. I wanted to bury her as deep as it could be. So I tempered with Helena's phone, removing the pin to unlock the phone and deleting the chat between Cerise and Helena. 

As much as I hated Cerise, I already promised her that she would be safe. At least safe enough not to get dragged with Kristen to the juvenile centre. 

Besides, if Cerise got roped with Kristen, she might spill everything and dragged me down as well. I couldn't afford to get dragged right now.

I didn't care if I would die later, but I refused to lose until I got my vengeance. 

After making sure there was no trace of Cerise inside Helena's phone, I set up a loud alarm enough to notify the Principal from inside his office. 

I left the bathroom and sneaked around the corridor, looking at my left and right. After ensuring that nobody was in the corridor right now, I headed straight to the Principal Office.

The door of the principal office was closed, but I could see the silhouette of two students sitting in front of the Principal from the frosted glass. 

I saw the silhouette of one girl pointing her index at the girl sitting beside her. I couldn't hear what they were talking about, unfortunately. 

I saw the girl stood from the chair, unable to contain her anger. She actually pulled the hair of the other girl until she fell on the ground. In the end, the Principal was the one who separated them.

I guessed Kristen had lost her restrain after that shock in the corridor since her life as the gentle angel had been ruined now. 

I put Helena's phone on the bench outside the Principal Office. I already set the alarm in five minutes, and it would ring as loud as possible. 

I sneaked and hid behind a wall, waiting for the phone to ring. I counted it with the timer in my phone in a low voice, 'Three… two… one.'

The loud ringtone in Helena's phone echoed around the empty corridor, and not long after, the Principal Office's door opened. The balding old Principal Kirkland looked around the corridor. I pulled back immediately to avoid getting noticed. After five minutes, I peeked from behind the wall and saw the phone was gone and the Principal had returned to his office. 

I passed the Principal Office again. Although I could see nothing because of the frosted glass, I noticed one girl was trying to attack Principal Kirkland inside the office when she was confronted with the phone. She looked crazed enough. Even with this frosted glass, I could sense her erratic behaviour. 

Meanwhile, the other girl was cornered and stood alone at the corner near the door. 

I grinned and walked away from the corridor. With this, there was no way for Kristen to save her reputation and escape the juvenile centre. The Principal wouldn't be able to hide this either. This case would escalate bigger than just a small juvenile sentence since everybody recorded her meltdown live on Instagram, and her crime was really malicious. 

"I told you that I will break the wings of an angel today. Goodbye, Kristen Suite, enjoy your juvenile jail."

I left the schoolyard straight to the tree where I parked my bike. 

I waited for about two hours alone, waiting for the right time to return home. But there was a surprise, I saw a police car entered the school. And Kristen was handcuffed, taken away by force with two police officers holding her arms. 

"LET GO! I DIDN'T DO IT! IT'S THAT BITCH WHO TRIED TO SLANDER ME!" 

"I DIDN'T DO IT! DO YOU KNOW THAT I'VE HELPED MANY PEOPLE!? YOU'RE GOING TO ARREST ME JUST BECAUSE OF ONE MISTAKE?!" Kristen struggled and screamed, but the police officer just took Helena's phone as proof and took her away, despite the Principal trying to discuss it with the officer. 

I was astonished by Kristen getting arrested, it had only been about four hours since her meltdown happened, and she was arrested immediately? 

I knew her crime was grievous for a juvenile, but would it be enough to get an instant arrest like this? 

…

I had a feeling that someone with an important position had called the police because there was no way it could be this easy.

…

I had a feeling there was something I didn't know, something that was working behind my back, and I didn't know if this 'thing' was on my side or not. 

I needed to investigate more about this in the future. But for now, at least the first bully had been taken down, and it was just like what I wanted. 

Clean, quiet, and deadly.

Since I could do nothing today after Kristen's downfall, I went straight to my home. 

Mom was still working, and Grandma must be sleeping at this hour. So I parked my bike outside and sneaked in, hiding inside my room while turning on my phone. 

There was a text from Kristen, which I blocked her immediately without even checking. 

I was thinking about checking Cerise's condition right now because she didn't get taken with Kristen, so she must've been out of the picture for now.

Ding!

Notification of a text message from Cerise surprised me. I didn't expect her to text me this quick. And her only text was…

—

Cerise: Em… help me...
