HAMERTON 2
Thank you God for this opportunity.
Hallo new viewers and Happy weekend!
Hallo new viewers and Happy weekend!
Hamerton. A large school offering the finest Education to the students of the state and overseas. Natalie joins this school arriving from Brooklyn and she has grief over her lost friends who were murdered in Hamerton. She teams up with Ingrid and their fellow seniors against the House of Representatives to prevent a bomb blast that could cause a large massacre.
Previously on Hamerton. Kenneth contacted Trevor and informed him about Simon's death. Kenneth thinks that it was SOHOT who did it. To keep Natalie from going through the inauguration, Trevor thinks of telling her to break the allegiance with SOHOR but, not unto his and Kenneth' expectation, the HOR are arriving Hamerton, soon.

Natalie stood at the patio of the main building
entrance, watching as the buses carrying the House Of Representatives arrive
Hamerton. She had her hands joined behind her back, waiting in silence as three
buses, skid across the driveway to the building’s front yard.
“Miss President.”
She twisted her head to above her left shoulder and
smiled at Suresh. “Yes?”
“Aren't you going to walk down and greet the
guests?”
“I’d rather not.” She said.
He nodded. “I remember that incident in Berlin last
year. I am so sorry that you have to face up with the St. Ann Marie girl
again.”
She
sighed. “Thank you.”
“But,
you know, security in Hamerton has improved.”
“I do. But, the girl still gives me Goosebumps.
Ashleigh died so awfully and it was all her doing.”
“Do you know how she got out? She was arrested
right?”
“Yes. But, I was called to the hearing to testify
against her but, my mom wouldn't let me. She also did not want to waste our resources.
France is very far you know.”
“From your home, yes but, not from here.”
“Yes.” She agreed and turned back to the yard.
The buses' doors were already opening and beginning to
drop some of the students.
Ivan was at the yard on behalf of Natalie. He welcomed
the guests with Sylvester and the school’s discipline teacher, Mr. Gram.
Ivan exchanged handshakes with the HOR, greeting
them; “Welcome to Hamerton on behalf of the School President.”
“Guten Tag, Wie geht es Ihnen?” Sylvester addressed the
Neumann Oberschule students.
The Head Boy of Neumann, who was also the one who
received Hamerton in Germany, Hans Muller responded. “Gut, danke. You can speak
very well in German.”
“Well, I try.” Sylvester replied modestly.
“Our school is very sorry for what happened last
time in the international competitions. Our coming today is to rectify things
with Hamerton. I also heard that, Miss Natalie is the new President.”
“Yes.” Sylvester replied. “And she will see you in
the lounge room.”
“Thank you.” Hans replied.
Ivan had to receive the French students and without
knowing, shook hands with Paula Moure.
Paula was older then. Her red hair had grown and she
left it to dangle over her back.
“Bon après-midi.” he greeted her.
“Bonjour.” She replied impassively. “I want to
assure you that St. Marie is the best school in all of Europe. Tell your
President that.”
Ivan remained silent, quite amused with her
attitude.
She walked away and Ivan smiled to receive different
member students of the HOR. They wore blue and white colored uniforms.
‘Scotland.’ Ivan thought and extended his hand. “Good
afternoon.”
The leader did not reply to his greeting. “Oliver Geniuses is still
dissenting this union. We are wondering why we lost our student and no one was
accounted for it.”
‘Ashleigh’ Ivan thought. “I hope that, that will be
in the agenda of discussion, mister…”
“Alastair.” The boy helped reluctantly.
“Yes amh. Mister Alastair we will discuss that.”
Without a reply, Alastair and his people walked on.
Mr. Gram ushered the visitors into Block B of the
school buildings where was the lounge hall prepared to entertain the guests for
a while, before they could refresh in their temporary homes.
When Ivan did not find Natalie in the lounge hall,
he went to look for her in her office.
As he expected, Natalie was there, pacing nervously in front of her desk.

“Natalie?” He called her when he entered the office,
unnoticed.
She turned to him. “Yes?”
“What are you doing?” he asked, grimacing.
She sighed. “I am afraid Ivan.”
He shook his head, feeling sorry for her. “Natalie,
you will be fine. You can’t let that girl get the best of you.”
“Ivan, you don’t understand. If you were in my
shoes, if you had seen what I saw, you won’t be saying that. I don’t want to go
out there.” She said, almost crying.
He abandoned the door and walked to her. “Natalie, you
are the President of Hamerton.”
“That’s not enough. That’s not enough because, a
murderer like Paula keeps roaming free and… the SOHOR or whatsoever are going to
destroy the school and there’s nothing that I, as President, can do to save us.” She
said in devastation.
“Don’t say that Natalie, you have got the badge.” He
coaxed her.
She shook her head and turned aside. “I just wish
that I could break this allegiance. I just wish that I could cut the ties and
end this once and for all.”
Ivan narrowed his eyes. He thought that he heard the
same words somewhere.
His eyes flashed with an idea and he took a stand in
front of her. “Natalie, you are not the only one who think that.”
“What?” she asked in a low hopeless voice.
“Yes!” Ivan said, taking her hand in excitement.
She sniffed and, like old times, he offered her his
handkerchief. She thanked him and blew her nose in it. “I don’t understand
Ivan, what are you talking about?” She asked afterward.
“I am saying that, there are other people in the
organization who also do not agree with the allegiance.”
She took a few seconds, pondering the possibility. “How
many are they, Ivan? I read the constitution. The allegiance can’t be broken
except by half of the organization who do not agree with it.”
“It’s Oliver Geniuses alone. But, we can conduct
opinion polls. I met Paula. She doesn't like you either. Maybe she can vote
against the allegiance.”
“I don’t like the sound of her but, that would make
three. The allegiance has at least fifteen member schools and, less than those
are here today in Hamerton.”
“Are there more coming?”
“No, according to Sylvester.”
Ivan was silent, vainly searching in the office room for solutions.
“See, Ivan? I have every reason to be disappointed.”
Ivan glanced at her. “What if there was a way to get
rid of Paula, alone?”
“How?”
“The Oliver Geniuses want for the culprit who
murdered their student to be punished. If she can’t get formal justice then,
there must be a clause in the constitution that deals with people who harm
members of the other schools within SOHOR.” He suggested. “After all, you do
swear to integrity right?”
She nodded. “Of course.” She said smiling. “I haven’t
taken the oath yet but, she has. She is liable to face any judgment that SOHOR
will give her.”
Ivan smiled too. “There’s the spirit. Do not let
your spirit be broken by what that girl says.”
“Yes.” She said with boldness replacing defeat. “Thank
you Ivan.”
He smiled. “It’s always a pleasure to put a smile on
your face.”
She gave him a hug that he held on to, wishing that it
would last forever.
She drew back with a little struggle and hit him
lightly. “You shouldn't get used to that.”
“Sorry.” He excused himself.
“C’mon, let’s go and take down that girl.”
