HAMERTON 2
Thank you God for this opportunity.
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.
Happy weekend viewers!
She wants to communicate with Trevor and she gets an idea of reaching him through his email.

Ivan pushed the door of
Natalie’s office open with her speech in hand. He found Ingrid alone, shuffling
some documents from the desk drawer.
“What are you looking
for?” He asked.
“The badge but, it’s
not here.” She said and paused searching, sighing. “I just hope that she doesn't give it up. It’s the only thing that could save Hamerton.”
Ivan glanced at the
desk and saw the President’s badge. “Isn't that it?”
“No. The real one has
golden inscriptions. When we stole it from Archibald’s office, he could not
replace it with another with gold inscriptions. He used bronze.”
Ivan nodded in
understanding then asked. “Whose idea was it to put a…” he looked for words. “?Bomb
terminating device in a badge anyway?”
“Trevor.”
Ivan raised his
eyebrows. He was perplexed. “Why?” He asked.
Ingrid sighed first and
reclined to the President’s chair before telling him. “Well, he thought that
the attack would take place in his reign but, once they were threatened by him,
they postponed it till after his retire.”
“So, what does it
actually do? Undo the bombs?”
Ingrid shrugged. “No
one knows except him.”
“Didn't he tell you?”
“He should be able to.
Only, we haven’t had luck communicating with him.”
Ivan was silent.
“Do you know when
Natalie has to announce her resignation?” she asked.
“Yes. Archibald phoned
me and bawled at me to announce an urgent assembly to the students in the theater at nine.”
“Oh we have less than thirty minutes to get
that badge.” She said in worry. “Does Natalie already know?”
“I don’t think so.
Unless she was told, no.”
Ingrid rose. “I have to
find her.”
“We both have. I have
to deliver this to her as well.” He said waving the speech papers in his hand.
“What did you write in
there anyway?”
“Oh. That she is
resigning because she is taking accountability of what happened to Paula.”
Ingrid frowned. “She didn't do anything to Paula.”
“I know that. But, her
defense is by far, what the ‘Hamertonians’ want to hear.”
Ingrid shook her head
with disappointment.
“C’mon. Let’s find
Natalie.”
Ingrid nodded and
followed him out.
=====
“Natalie Bradley?”
Natalie almost jumped
on her feet when she heard Archibald’s voice calling behind her.
She was at the door of
the computer lab of the chief building when Archibald called her.
She turned around
slowly, taking a deep breath to confront the school principal. “Good morning
sir?” she greeted, weakly.
“There is nothing good
about this morning. After you broke of the engagement of Hamerton with SOHOR
and almost killed one of its members.” He reckoned, aggravatingly.
“Sir, I promise that,
Paula hurt me first. She was going to kill me. And about SOHOR, I intended to
get Hamerton a new allegiance.”
“Oh please?” he whined.
“That is pathetic and stupidity. Everyone knows that you were not satisfied
with the case of your deceased friend, Ashleigh. Besides that, you blamed the SOHOR
for not reprimanding her.”
“Sir, you are all
misled by the rumors spreading about my feelings towards Paula’s fate after Ashleigh’s
death.”
He rounded his eyes.
“Whatever. It doesn’t matter now because, you are no longer President.”
She was silent, looking
down.
“Now, come with me to
the theater. There you will announce your resignation.”
She looked worriedly at
him. “Right now sir? I thought that, I would have a few more days. Or… at
least, hours.”
“Don’t worry, I
convinced the discipline panel to lessen your burden of recklessly governing
Hamerton.”
She frowned.
He laughed cynically
and turned around. “Oh how I can’t wait to strip you off your authorities.” He
said loud enough to irritate her. “Follow me.”
Natalie glanced the
computer lab’s door and sighed. She then turned to Archibald and escorted him
to the theater in the ground floor.
They met with reporters
just after their elevator cubicle opened. Archibald made sure to get as much
coverage as he humiliated Natalie.
“Well, it is a pity
that we could have such incompetent leaders.” Archibald said to the reporter of
Hamerton All Day, a new TV that he sponsored, aside from the school Television
station.
Showing entertainment
programs and various uncredited live shows, HAD TV had gained much popularity
in Hamerton than HTV.
Natalie sighed at
Archibald’s rude comment about her to the reporter. She however, chose to
answer no questions to the press.
They presumed the
journey to the theater where Natalie was sure that, she was going to proclaim her demise ..
What happened next? Stay tuned to find out!
