For new readers; Natalie joins Hamerton, a large school that has a lot of things going on, most of it being illegal and terrorizing. She is agonized by the news of her friend's tragic death and she has to face up with the Hamerton's bloody governance in order to secure the President's badge that has the power to decode a bomb that could cause a large massacre. she teams up with Trevor, the ex and most renowned president of Hamerton and Class D students against Nicky and her fellow evil seniors

Where it ended last time. Trevor confronts Steven for his betrayal to class D and Ingrid. He suffers a relapse and faints on Steven. Madam Sue makes effort to bring Natalie back to Hamerton. 

Continue:

When they reached the lobby, Steven could no longer carry Trevor on his own. He needed help. He called for it and some juniors responded.

“What happened?” Carlito, one of two boys who assisted Steven asked.

“He just fainted.” Steven replied. “But, we’ll not take him to the hospital wing. Please help me carry him to the leader’s quarters.”

“Okay.” The boy replied and helped with his friend to transport Trevor to his bedroom in the leader’s quarters.

Once there, Steven shoved off the shirt that Trevor had on, leaving him with a vest on as he laid on his back on the bed. Steven used the shirt to fan him for a while, sitting on the edge of the bed next to Trevor’s body. He sighed afterward, hoping that Trevor would not have to go through coma like the last time. He could not afford to take Trevor to the clinic because, Ingrid and Erin would find him there and when he would wake up, Trevor will immediately tell them the reason why he suffered a relapse.  

Steven wanted to talk to Trevor first. He had to tell him the reason of his involvement with the sect and how much he wanted to abandon them but could not.

“Oh Trevor please wake up.” He prayed earnestly. “I’ll be in a big mess if you don’t.”

“Hallow?”

“Hallo. Yes please?”

“Is this Mister Bradley?”

“Yes. Who am I talking with?”

“Thank you Mr. Bradley. I am Susanne Hamerton, chief director of Hamerton schools. I understand that your daughter, Natalie Bradley is a student of ours?”

“Yes, yes. It is nice to hear from you ma’am. Yes, my daughter has been attending your school over the past year and, I have to thank you, she has really appreciated and love your school. So do we, really. We are very thankful.”

“Thank you Mr. Bradley. But, your daughter has not reported for this new semester.”

There was a pause. “Yes, yes. Amh, well, my wife and I thought that she should study close to home for a while because I am away from home and we have only Natalie. Ma’am see, my wife is having a baby and there is no one to take care of her.”

Madam Sue sighed but was not willing to refrain from convincing him. “That is sad Mr. Bradley. And congratulations to your wife. But, Mr. Bradley, Natalie was one of our best students. She has exhibited unique character apart from her outstanding academic records.” She paused glancing around at the principal and her brothers. “All the teachers and the whole school administration have recommended your daughter to become President of Hamerton.”

There was a pause then a deep sigh.

Sue noted something. “How does that sound Mister Bradley?”

His voice came pitifully. “I feel honored already that you have called me to give me all the good report of my Natalie. I, I honestly wish that she could still be able to join you there,”

He paused and Madam Sue intervened. “Let’s do this Mr. Bradley, I am offering your daughter, a full year sponsorship. After all, she was going to win it at the international competitions.”

“Oh my God!” Mr. Bradley exclaimed, laughing. “Thank you ma’am. You are very generous. Natalie will be so happy.”

Sue smiled a little. She already realized that Mr. Bradley had problems with Natalie’s fees and all about his wife having a baby was just an excuse. “It’s okay Mr. Bradley. When Natalie reports, her details will already be at the bursar’s office.”

“Yes. Thank you ma’am. I’ll tell her to pack her stuff very quickly.”

“Great. So, when can we expect her back?”

“Oh… By the end of the week I hope.”

“Okay. But, in case there will be any need, the school is ready to cater for Natalie’s expenses.” She said and added. “We do that for our special students.”

“Thank you ma’am. Natalie will join you soon.”

Madam Sue smiled. “Thank you. Fare well.”

“Thank you.”

Sue hang up and turned to her colleagues.

Next on Hamerton:

"6 am. 6 am. 6 am." The man kept on repeating when Kenneth walked in.

Kenneth looked at his condition and felt pitiful. He had to ask, "What happened to him?" 

"We are not sure. One thing is though, whatever did, relates to the time he is always rephrasing."

Who is that? stay tuned to find out.
