{ THE REVELATION }
She went limp, surrendering to death.

Vernon was smiling wide as he stepped on the corridor that led to the stairs, the imagination of last night’s kiss almost driving him mad.
He brought out a box from his pocket and opened it slowly. It contains a pretty anklet which he had bought earlier in the afternoon.
He’s gonna ask her out tonight officially, and he obviously can’t wait.
He smiled at the box again and closed it, then he hid it behind and continued walking to the stairs, but he was surprised to meet no one.
“Is she playing tricks on me?” He chuckled, getting his phone to dial her line, but her phone rang just beside him, on the ground!
He squatted and picked it up slowly. “What’s happening?” He muttered, getting scared already, then he noticed a box sitting on the middle of the stairs.
He slowly started looking down beyond the box, and his eyes widened when he saw her body in the pool of blood below the stairs.
Though she’s laying face down, but the gown she’s wearing says it all, it’s definitely Becca!
Her phone and his own phone fell from him with the box immediately…
“Becca!” He began running madly down the stairs, and he fell when he got to the middle, hurting his head too, but he stood nevertheless and ran through the remaining stairs.
He squatted so slowly beside her bloody body , his hands shaking so bad as he stretched it to her.
He turned her body, making her face him, and his body became dysfunctional immediately.
“No! No!…. Becca!!!!!!!!!!!!” He screamed, his mouth so wide as hot ball of tears fell out of his eyes.
“Be… Bec..ca… Becca…. Becca!!!!! Becca!!!!!!!” He screamed again, holding her face with his shaky hands as he sat beside her in the pool of her blood.
“No please!!! No!!!!!!!! No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
His mad screams attracted some students nearby, and they came running to the scene.
?️ f-__-k!!!!!!
?️ Isn’t that Becca?
?️ The fourth scholarship student!
?️ What the hell!!
?️ Blood!!!
The fragile girls began crying, and within a minute, the place became full of students.
“Becca!” Leslie gasped shockingly.
“$h|t!!!” Miranda fell on her knees and began crying like a kid.
“Her head! Her head is….oh no!!!!” She covered her mouth as tears rushed out of her eyes.
Teddy and Jennifer arrived at a time, and immediately Jennifer saw the scene, she began gasping for breath.
Seeing the blood and everything made her breathing leave the normal line, and she has to hold her chest as tears came out of her eyes.
Teddy quickly hugged her face to his chest, hiding her away from the scene.
“Call an ambulance! Leslie!” He shouted.
“Ok! Ok!” Leslie snuff as she made the call.
“Becca…. Becca please… I love you, please don’t leave me, I love you so much please…stay with me… Becca!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Vernon cried out again.
Cindy and Seven joined the crowd at a time, and their eyes only widened for a while before returning to normal.
Cindy’s eyes caught Jennifer whose face is still hidden on Teddy’s chest, and immediately she saw her gown is same with Becca’s, she left the scene.
An ambulance arrived shortly, and Becca was rushed in by the medics. Vernon left with the ambulance.
Teddy and Jennifer followed the ambulance in the hotel car provided by the hotel.

“Aaron!!!” Vance and Seth chorused, looking so shocked too immediately they saw what’s going on
Aaron stood and quickly pulled up his pants, then he wiped his tears and picked his jacket.
He made to leave the room, but Pascal pushed him back.
“You think it makes sense if you just leave like that after what we just witnessed? ”
“No amount of explanation will make you guys understand” he replied bluntly and made to leave again, but Vance pushed him back this time.
“Who the hell are you? You’re not Aaron, are you?” He said.
“What do you mean?” Seth and Pascal asked at a time, and Vance grabbed Aaron’s head immediately.
He pulled him to a bend and showed the guys the middle of his gead_the surgical scar.
“What the f-__-k!” Pascal gasped.
“When the hell did you undergo surgery?”Seth said.
“The question is not correct, the right question is who the hell is he? He’s suddenly right handed, he suddenly loves syrup on pancakes, he suddenly loves black and he suddenly h@ťěs noises, he suddenly loves Caron Poivre too… The only sensible answer is that he’s not the Aaron we all know, where the f-__-k is Aaron!” Vance shouted.
Pascal moved closer and grabbed his shoulders, lowering his eyes .
“Who are you? Bro” he asked calmly.
“Who the f-__-k are you!!!” Seth shouted loudly.
“AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!” Aaron screamed madly, holding his head so tight.
“Don’t shout at me! Don’t shout!!” He pushed all the guys away from himself, and he began crying as he threw down his jacket and ran out of the room.
“Aaron!” Pascal stood.
“f-__-k! After him!” Vance stood too.
“He’s surely going crazy” Seth muttered, and they jointly ran out of the room, going after him.

<10PM~BALCONY>
Cindy stormed in and met Alexa luckily. She has been searching everywhere for her since Alexa’s incident.
“Cindy” Alexa muttered, and she folded her arms on her chest as she walked to her.
“You’re really incredible” she smiled scornfully.
“What do you mean?” Alexa muttered with an innocent look, and Cindy laughed loudly.
“I’d have believed you’re really innocent with the look you pulled just now if I don’t know you well, you’re really something else, Alexa O’Brien”
“I still don’t understand you” Alexa replied.
“I told you to eliminate Jennifer, but you eliminated Becca instead, why? You mistook her for Jennifer cos they’re wearing same gown? How I wish it was Jennifer in that condition!” Cindy pouted.
“I didn’t push Jennifer” Becca replied.
“You’re not a good lier” Cindy laughed.
“I’m for real , I really didn’t ki|| Becca, I’ve been here since 6, drinking soda” Alexa replied, pointing at a stack of empty soda bottles in a corner.
“You think you can fool me? I told you to do it so why denying it in front of me? Oh you think I’m gonna punish you for ki||ing Becca instead of Jennifer? Why would I punish you when all you need to do is ki|| Jennifer ” Cindy smiled.
“And I’m saying I didn’t ki|| Becca!!” Alexa screamed, and Cindy made to slap her, but someone held her hand from behind.
“Alex? How dare you hold me” she smirked.
“Alexa has been here since 6, so stop trying to push it on her” Alex replied and took Alexa out of the place.
“What the f-__-k, is she playing with me?” Cindy rolled eyes angrily.

<10:30>
Vernon stormed into the hotel with tears on his face and Becca’s blood all-over his shirt as he entered the elevator.
He rode to Seven’s floor and stormed roughly into the room. He met her eating cornflakes and milk in a cup
“Vernon” she stood, but immediately he got to her, he grabbed her neck, slamming her back on the wall.
The cup of flakes fell from her, and the one in her mouth splashed out.
“Ver… Vernon…let.. ahhh..
“How could you ki|| her! Cos i broke up with you? Did you see us together last night? Was that why you chose to ki|| her? What has she ever done to you? Haven’t we bullied her enough? Tell me!!!!! What did she ever do!!! She’s just a poor girl who wanted nothing but happiness for herself and her family at the orphanage!!!! How could you ki|| her Ɓîtçh!!!” He screamed in tears, squeezing her neck so hard that blood escaped the corner of her lips
“Ver… Vernon…ver…
She was already seeing the gates of hell when Jennifer and Teddy rushed in.
“Vernon!” Teddy rushed to take him away from Seven, and Seven fell weakly on the ground.
“I don’t…I didn’t…push…her…” She muttered powerlessly before going limp on the ground.
“Becca!!!!” Vernon screamed in sorrow as Teddy forced him out of the room.
Jennifer is still crying too, and her palms were covering her lips as she left the room, meeting Leslie and Miranda in front of it.
“She’s… she’s ok… right?” Miranda asked fearfully.
“Huh? She survived?” Leslie asked tremblingly, and Jennifer shook her head, letting out more tears.
“f-__-k!” Miranda sat on the ground and started another round of tears.
“Oh…no…not her…” Leslie teared up.
It was a totally sad night in the hotel for all the students, and the atmosphere changed so much that they had to cut the vacation short.
They returned to Manhattan the next day…
•••
The young kids were surrounding granny Edgar on her wheelchair, crying and wailing as they stared at Becca’s framed picture on the wall.
Danielle, the eldest sat separately, crying on a chair in front of the picture directly.
“Becca!… You promised to buy us a lotta things, you promised to….to… You said you’d never leave, who’d play the role of a mother from now on? Who?… Becca who?….” She sniffed, rubbing Becca’s face in the picture.
The old granny hugged all the young kids at once, and they all cried on her chest as her tears poured too.
It’s such a painful sight to watch.
Teddy and Jennifer are by the door, crying as they watched the poor little family who lost an important member.
They’ve been here with Vernon since daybreak, trying to console them, but it’s not working, especially the kids.
“Gawd, I can’t watch this anymore” Jennifer sniffed, facing Teddy who hugged her face to his chest again, crying with her.
Vernon sat on the bare groud by the door, his face in his knees as he cried out his puffy eyes too.
He was shaking so much as he shed the hot tears, and his teeth clashed on each other.
••••
Meanwhile, the window of Becca’s room suddenly opened, and Aaron jumped in.
This was his room when he was still here, and he noticed some days ago that he left his diary behind, so he came back for it.
He started searching everywhere frantically, disorganizing all the room just for the diary.
He began sweating so much that he had to wipe with his palm, and that was when the door opened.
Vernon came in tearfully, and his eyes widened.
“What are you doing here!” He shouted angrily.
Without replying, Aaron jumped down the window and ran out of the orphanage.
He got in his car and drove far away from the orphanage before stopping, then he rested his head on the steering, starting his own tears too.
He didn’t follow the others home from Dubai, he came separately, and his phone has been off since then.
He has been avoiding The Knights, and he hasn’t stepped into the mansion.
He suddenly raised his head when he remembered school!
He wiped his tears when he sensed he might have actually dumped the diary in his locker.
He’d have to sneak into school without being seen.
He sniffed before driving away.
•••
Mayor was smiling as he paraded his study with his glasses on, then a cup of champagne in hand.
His other hand is his pocket as he sipped from the cup .
He smiled again, turning to the direction of the table. Two pictures of Aaron are sitting on it.
“Regina, you think you can actually fool me?” He smiled, picking the pictures.
Aaron was written on one, and Micheal was written on the other.
“How dare you send your doppelganger here to act like you, Aaron. How dare you try to fool your father” he laughed, looking at the pictures again.
The door opened, and Mr Tiffin came in.
“Greetings sir” he bowed.
“Yes?” Mayor replied.
“I actually have something to report to you”
“And?”
“Aaron, I once caught him burning himself with a cigar stub in his room. I think…he…he somehow needs therapy” Mr Tiffin said, and Mayor laughed.
“That moron is not my son”
“What!”
“Yeah, I’ve known since he stepped into this house last year, two can play a game” Mayor replied.
“What!” Mr Tiffin gasped again.

Maybe because she’s a scholarship student, the school management didn’t go on a break cos of Becca’s death.
Lectures resumed immediately the students returned abruptly.
There are two fixed classes for BM students today, and they’re done with one
The second one is starting soon, and students are starting to return to class.
Alexa noticed her bag got smaller immediately she sat, and she opened it hurriedly. The camera is gone!
She actually brought it to school so she’d watch the bullying videos she made with Alex back in her free time.
“Looking for this?” Cindy said behind her, and she spranged up to see her with the camera.
“Give that back!” She tried to take it, but Cindy pushed her, and she fell back on the chair.
“So… You were once rich, O’Brien? Isn’t your dad the unfortunate man who committed suicide after getting framed some years ago?” Cindy laughed, and Alexa swallowed hard.
“And…you did everything in this camera to the poor boy? Now that I think about it, you deserve all the bad things existing. I was thinking in a demon, but nah, I’m an angel compared to you” Cindy laughed and faced the anxious class
“Wanna watch something interesting? Follow me!” She announced, leaving the class.
All the students followed her, and Alexa’s eyes widened as she ran after them too, but before she got there, Cindy was already playing the videos on the big screens of the building.
The students converged to watch, and her throat ran dry as it played.
Alex joined them, and his eyes widened too as he watched their videos.
Everything they did to Micheal Cooper, back then in A1 elementary school
His day 1: They hit ball on his face till he bled and passed out.
His day 2: they made him kneel in the rain cos he scored more than Alexa in the test, and Alexa hit him with umbrella on the face. He passed out again.
Aaron came out to the scene this time. He actually came to search his diary, but he couldn’t find it.
He was on his way out when he saw what’s going on, and immediately he beheld the videos, his eyes widened, and his head banged madly.
The memories…. f-__-king bitter memories… Bitter than a gall…. sour! He began witnessing it all-over again, and tears were forced out of his eyes.
He wanted to move, but he couldn’t, till blood dropped out of his nostrils.
The video continued….
His day 3: They made him kneel in the sun all day, and he passed out again.
His day 4: they made him tons of eat ice cream and coke till he passed out again.
His day 5: They burnt his arms with hot iron in the store room, and they forced him to cry till his tears filled up a cup.
His day 6: they barbed his hair with a clipper and poured paint on it, and they forced him to eat what he’s allergic to (peanuts) till he began bleeding from the ears and nose. He passed out too.
His day 7: he was locked in a burning class while all the students laughed at him, screaming “Poor Micheal!” By the windows. His arm got burnt again.
His day 8: he was wet with water from the toilet, and he was pushed down the stairs where he almost bled till death…
That was his last day in the school… He landed in coma for three years…
?️ f-__-k! How wicked
?️ To think that she did this to someone as a kid
?️ Alexa is not human!
?️ Jeez! Poor boy
“AHHHHHH!!!!!!!” Aaron screamed out, holding his head as his tears started again.
He began bleeding from all the holes in his body as the memories kept hitting him.
His nose, ears and mouth bled, and his eyes started becoming blurry as all the noises in the world penetrated into his head.
He might just run mad right now for real..
Everyone turned to him shockingly, wondering what’s up with him.
He suddenly faced the wall and hit his head on it, trying to forget everything!
?️ What’s up with Aaron!
?️ Aaron!
He smashed his head on the wall again, and blood erupted… students gasped.
?️ Aaron!!!
When he made to smash it for the third time, someone went closer to him and blocked it with his palm.
Aaron gasped tearfully as the person pulled him into a tight hug immediately…
A total silence descended on the place as the hoodie on the head of the person fell off, and eyes widened madly as he spoke.
“It’s ok, Micheal. I’m here now” he whispered, stroking his hair.
Countless students passed out immediately they saw the face.
?️ AHHHHHH!!!!
