Natalie sat in her class uneasily. Though Trevor said that he would take care, she was still worried that Mr. Gram would not agree so easily. So, she stared keenly at the electric bell above the blackboard and when it rang, she packed her stuff quickly and left class. She wanted to arrive at the office quickly so that Mr. Gram would not charge her for being late but, as soon as she made a turn to the stair landing, a hand stopped her.

“Hey.” A familiar voice followed.

She turned around, Steve stood there with Robert. Robert had long blond hair and, he liked to tease her constantly. He was the one who had Natalie’s hand.

She smiled broadly. “Hi guys.”

“We were wondering if you could catch a snack with us. Heard that Steve? Catch a snack? Isn’t it the way Nat’s people talk?”

“Ha ha ha. Very funny Robert. But, seriously, thank you. I have to be at Mr. Gram’s office.” Natalie said.

“Mr. Gram?” Steve repeated with obvious shock in his voice. “What did you do?”

“I didn’t do anything. Anyway, it’s a long story.” She said trying to free her hand from Robert’s clutch.

“Wait, wait, wait.” Steve said. “If you didn’t do anything… why on earth are you going there? It’s the seniors right?”

“Sure, yeah… they oh, actually she tried to make me look bad but, Trevor’s… he’s taking care. I’ll be fine.”

At the ‘n’ Ingrid walked between them breaking the connection between Robert and Natalie. “Mr. Gram? Trevor’s taking care? What is going on here?”

Natalie sighed. “I was just saying to these boys that, there’s little trouble and that I have to be in Mr. Gram’s office but, they shouldn’t worry much because Trevor’s taking care.”

The boys looked at each other.

“Oh my God.” Ingrid whispered.

Natalie furrowed her eyebrows. “Guys?”

“Natalie, Trevor can’t take care of anything. If any leader is taken to the Discipline’s office, his or her punishment cannot been revoked.” Robert informed.

Natalie frowned. What?

“If Trevor’s helping you that means that he’s going to face everything in your place.” Ingrid added.

“I, I don’t want him to suffer my misfortune.” Natalie confessed. Her eyes begun tingling with tears.

“We have to save Trevor guys.” Steven spoke at last.

They hurriedly ran down the stairs from level 17 which they were to the ground floor, level one. They paused outside the Discipline’s secretary’s desk and Steven took charge to talk to the lady.

“Excuse me Mrs. Perks, can we see Mr. Gram?” he greeted.

 “What’s going on today? You people have been jamming my desk since morning.” She said picking up a receiver to notify her boss about the guests.

“Is Trevor inside?” Steve added.

“Yes.” She replied and talked to Mr. Gram. After a short conversation with him, she replaced the receiver and turned to them.

“And Nicky?” Natalie asked before Mrs. Perkins had the chance to say anything.

“No. She left with the St. Ann Marie student earlier today. Anyway, you can go in.”

Steve thanked for all and they walked past her desk to Mr. Gram’s door and opened it.

Mr. Gram sat behind his desk and Trevor stood some feet from it. Mr. Gram’s face was anxious while Trevor’s was troubled. However, hey both seemed startled when the four walked in.

“Yes?” Mr. Gram asked coldly.

“Sir. Please forgive Trevor.” Natalie spoke first. “He’s not at fault for anything.”

“Natalie?” Trevor snapped.

“Sir, I deliberately throw in my Yellow card.” Steven said taking out a card from his coat pocket.

Natalie was confused.

“Steven. Why are you doing this? I’m giving up my Yellow card for Natalie. Sir, I already gave you my Yellow card.” Trevor said panicking.

“Everybody. Hush.” Mr. Gram growled. “Steve, your card is no longer valid. You’re not an MP. Natalie replaced you.”

“That’s why I’m offering my own sir. Please, don’t listen to them.” Trevor pleaded.

Steve sighed deeply. He was agonized by the fact that he could not save the only person among the seniors that he believed in.

Because Natalie was an MP and she was guilty of a wrong, she had to face punishment and disposition. Her sentence could not be omitted but, if anyone wanted to redeem her, he or she had to be a leader and he or she had to give up his or her green card and serve the sentence for her. Being demoted was one part of the sentence, the next part of it was a mystery to all of them.

Ingrid, the discipline leader knew.

did Trevor loose his Presidency? what was the next part of the sentence? stay tuned to find out.
