Mrs. Finley raised an eyebrow in surprise but motioned for him to continue. As he spoke, she became increasingly shocked and angry. According to Jason, a group of students had hatched a plan to get her fired by planting drugs in her car and then anonymously tipping off the administration.Mrs. Finley couldn't believe that her own students would do something so malicious, but she was also worried. She was a single mother who relied on her teaching job to support herself and her daughter. Losing her job could mean disaster for her family.Jason seemed to sense her hesitation and quickly reassured her. He explained that he had connections in the business world and could help her find another job if she was fired. He promised to protect her and make sure that she never had to worry about finding work again.Mrs. Finley was hesitant, but she could see that Jason was genuinely concerned for her well-being. She asked him if he was sure that he could pull off something like that, and he assur
Although he wasn’t fully in support of the Big five, he had to join in to save their teacher. To beat them down and gave them the assurance that all was well, he visited them first.“Hey peeps” he saluted them all.As if they were expecting him they all said in unison“What’s up with the plan”.He could see that they are not ready to back down so he just had to play along with the plan.“You all should relax, take some chill pill. Things are still in place and yes, it’s been perfected. There’s nothing to worry about”This statement by Jason sooth their mind and ease them off the tension of whether things will go well or not.They somehow have some respect for Jason now although they try so hard not to show it.“I know you are all bothered by the too much goodwill and strictness of Mrs. Finley but I am assuring you that this time, she will be out of school totally.” Jason added to his speech.In a relaxed and calm tone, Jacob said “if we can have her out, I promise to give you a few do
Mrs. Finley was in so much disbelief. She would have wished what Jason told her wasn’t true. Now that they were the truth, she have to fight her way through it and by doing so, she needs to go ahead and pretend like she doesn’t know anything about the plan. “What exactly it is that you are talking about?” Mrs. Finley said restricting her hand from landing on him. “Did I lie? You touched me and you want me to concentrate in your class? What a small thinking mind”. As he said, all of the class exclaimed. That was too much for any teacher to take in. What was more surprising is that some of the students in class who were a bit close or had had contacts with Mrs. Finley never had any reason to call her a pervert so this was shocking to the entire class. “What makes you think Mrs. Finley is a pervert?” Anna, one of the cool kids in class spoke up. “Yes, I have been to her severally and we’ve even had a tutor session more than 2 hours and she never made a move on me. Am I not a boy too?
All of the students, returned back to their class but couldn’t help having something to say to the matter at hand.Although no student admit to the wrong of the teacher while at the principal’s office, they all had different opinion when they got to their classes.Some students believed that she did it claiming to have had an encounter with her. “She has been like that.” Said a girl in grade 4. She was so certain in her assertion.“How did you know?” Another student asked her. This time around it was a male student who is so convinced that Mrs. Finley was not that type of teacher.“I may be wrong or right, but the way she is always strict with the boys and always picking on them is enough for suspicion.” She responded.“That is not enough to ascertain that she is a pervert. And if I should remember so well, she picks on you just like she picks on any male because of your inattentiveness in class.”The line of argument went on and on and some were only just happy that she is going to b
The principal didn’t bother about his worried look as soon as he came out facing his class mates, the principal continue with his speech.“Although many of you have all it takes to be role model to others. That attribute alone is enough to get far in life. In this life of ours, we can agree that having influence is great. I mean positive influence. When you have what others do not, it’s best to retain yours and help others with it.” He made a stop as to know whether the class was still following.As he was moving forward, Jason was already calming himself believing him coming out must have been on a positive note.The principal continued. “Life didn’t give us all a fair share of it therefore some people have what others do not. Even the most wretched man might have something precious to a billionaire. It could be an idea or information. Do not look down on people’s intelligence. That is a very bad thing to do. To get better in life, you need to help those around you.”“I have been wor
The plea of Ashley won’t be heard and the teacher won’t say anything. It was such a disgusting sight. Not even one person was free from corruption. Now, Jason was no longer panicking rather he is angry that he had trusted the wrong person. He couldn’t believe that his own Mrs. Finley that he had thought of helping and teaching the wrong students lesson was going to turn her back on him.What could they have offered her? He kept wondering, Did they threaten her? Or she is just being an asshole.He couldn’t wrap his head around what he has gotten himself into. He had risked all he had to get justice but it seems like justice does not even exist.He can’t even hold on to karma. Why is everything going against him. The adults have failed in their duties to protect the interest of the minors. If the principal could look away from justice and his teacher is doing the same, then he can’t blame the younger ones for being insolent.Ashley kept finding means for her voice to be heard, just Mrs
They all peeped through the window to see what was going on. It’s like the principal and Jason are in a heated argument. Jason have never liked him not even for a second and now with this that he is doing, there’s no how he could rewrite his image. Ashley and the girls were talking about Jason and some of the boys too. This time the ratio of the boys is very low as they seem not interested in the case any longer. One said, “Jason will have to pay money to be free. If not, whether he is not the culprit or he is, he will pay dearly for it.” “How do you mean?” Ammie asked him. “If he is not wrong, he should be left alone” The boys around there laughed so hard. “Are you so nut? Don’t you get it? Do the math girl!” he responded. “Oh!!! You have never been convicted for a crime before. If you have, you would know more about it.” He said and walk away. Ashley tried explaining to her what it means. “You don’t have to be wrong to pay for some sins. And even in your wrong, you only need t
The problem won’t just be resolved with both parties being against each other. Convincing Jason to take the bait of the principal is really going to be hard.Mrs. Finley didn’t want to risk her job and Jason won’t be succumbing to any sort of bully from the school even if it is exploitation.He walked out on her and went straight to his vehicle. The students were amazed as to the look on his face. It was questionable but they couldn’t put a pen on it. Is he guilty? Is he angry? Is he just being rude?Many went for the latter. They believe he was being rude now that he has money. No matter how pure he is, he shouldn’t have walked out on Mrs. Finley. No one in the school could tell exactly what was up. It wasn’t like they have a way to talk to any one to explain things to them.Jude is with the principal and Mrs. Finley can’t explain things to them because no one would dare ask her in the heat of all what was going on. Mrs. Thomas was not liked by anyone nor was she respected by most of
