Hallo new viewers!

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; Kehlan told Trevor how she was invaded the night before and how she was forced to tell the invaders about Trevor and Maggie. Corny bid Trevor that he was going to find his wife and Trevor tried calling Natalie again to warn her, feeling nervous that the SOHOT were planning something.

Continue;

Yesterday

“Maggreth? Maggie?” Corny called, banging his wife’s apartment door.

There was silence.

“Maggreth! Maggreth! Open up.” He shouted.

“It’s alright am coming. You don’t have to bring the door down.” Maggie sounded from the living room, making Corny sigh with relief.

He waited until a lock was loosened from the inside and his wife appeared in a bathing robe. Her hair was covered with foam and she seemed to have come from the bathroom.

She greeted Corny with a surprised look on her face. “What’s wrong with you?”

“No time to explain.” He said, taking her hand and maneuvering her back inside the house. “We have to leave. Now!” he announced.

“What’s going on Howls? What are you saying?” she asked, staring at him with queer.

He looked around the living room that they had walked into, checking for security.

“Howls?” she snapped at him.

He glanced at her and begun holding her. “Are you okay? Did anyone come to hurt you? Are you alright?”

She smiled. “Aaw… you are worried about me.”

“Of course I am.”

She caressed his face, looking into his eyes. “I am fine my darling. And, I have great news for you.”

“Maggie. That can wait. I have to take you out of here. You, Trevor. We have to leave.”

Maggie furrowed her eyebrows. “Why? Studies are going very well and it’s only a month till the end of the semester. I will graduate at the end of the semester.”

“Maggreth I realize that but, we have to transfer you, I don’t know but, we’ll think of your education later. Your safety comes first.” He said in panic.

“Honey. What happened?” she asked again, feeling amazed by his stress.

He sighed first. “You know Kehlan, Trevor’s friend here in campus?”

She nodded.

“Well, she was invaded last night and the invaders demanded her to tell them about Trevor. Since she had no choice, Kehlan mentioned everything about Trevor and” he took her hands, sighing deeply to add, “you.”

Maggreth was silent, quite shocked by the news.

“Maggie. I can’t risk your life. Not yours nor Trevor’s. We are going to leave London. We are going to leave, now.”

Maggreth swallowed and nodded. “Alright.” She said. “So, what do I have to do now?”

“Pack.” He said, releasing her hands. “Get dressed. I will be back. I have to tell Trevor what I have decided.”

She nodded and he started leaving. “Oh honey?” she called, when he was at the door.

 He turned to her. “Yes Maggie?”

She looked at him for a few seconds without saying anything. She noticed that he was in a hurry. “Oh. It’s okay. I’ll tell you later.”

“Okay. I’ll see you soon.” He said and left.

Maggreth remained standing there for a while, contemplating the situation. She was worried about what Corny informed her, that her life and that of Trevor’s were in danger. She and Trevor were the few people that mattered to Corny and the only  that Corny knew, that he could call, family.

At the thought of family in her mind, Maggreth smiled a little. She touched her belly because she just found out that she was pregnant. She could not wait to let Corny know but, that was not the time.

She left the living room to finish her shower and pack her dresses, without knowing that, behind her, the front door, that was not closed, was pushed open, slowly.

A couple of men, dressed in black outfits, tiptoed into the room and followed the path to a corridor that led to Maggie's room, receiving directions from headset receivers.

 ***

Trevor was still holding his phone when Corny met him. He was standing below an oak where he had his lunch.

Corny ran to him and Trevor’s face lightened up to receive him.

“Howls. Have you seen your wife?”

“Yes.” Corny replied. “She is fine.” He said shortly and went straight to the point. “We have to leave, Trevor. I’ll get on the phone with your father and tell him what’s going on.”

“No need.” Trevor said waving the phone in his hand. “I have just been on the line with him. He diverted my call to Natalie and received it himself. He knows everything.”

Corny sighed. “Who could have told him?”

“Beats me. But, we do have a lot of people behind the radio and cameras.”

Corny nodded. “So, we have to leave.” He announced.

“Yes.” Trevor agreed somberly. “Father said that, he will have our tickets ready in a few minutes. We have to be at Heathrow in less than an hour.”

“We must be going back to California?” Corny asked.

“I hope so. We will be taking the British Airways so, it also a nonstop flight home.”

“Alright.” Corny assented. “What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be packing or something?”

Trevor nodded. “Yes. I suppose so.”

“Okay. Get whatever you will actually need. Leave no trace that could be useful to SOHOT. I’ll meet you back with Maggie and the others outside the gate in 30 minutes.”

“Howls. What about Natalie? I don’t want to leave her behind. Especially now that she’s in more danger.”

“Trevor, we can worry about that later. You already told me that your father knows everything. We have to sort this out first.”

Trevor sighed. “Okay.”

Corny pat Trevor’s shoulder. “Don’t worry Trevor. Your father might also, not extend your stay there. He could perhaps, let you come to Europe sometime and maybe then, you can see Natalie.”

 Trevor shook his head. “Howls. You and I both know that, that is impossible. Dad is over protective with me and he hates the idea of Hamerton or Natalie for that matter.”

“We will find a way.”

Trevor managed a grin. “Thank you for your help and understanding.”

“It’s alright. I would be equally lost if anything bad were to happen to Maggie. She is the love of my life just as Natalie is to you. So, Trevor, I understand you.”

“Thank you Howls.”

“Okay. Let’s part now. We have no time.”

“Sure, sure.”  Trevor agreed and they parted. 

What happened next? Stay tuned to find out!

HAMERTON 2

Thank you God for this opportunity.
Hallo new viewers!

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; Natalie confronts Paula in the bathroom and their rough encounter leads to collateral damage. Mrs. Bradley is through with interrogation with the police, due to the death of Simon and she feels bad because Natalie kept her in the dark concerning her experience with Simon.

Continue;

Ingrid sat on a waiting bench with Cheryl and Fred, the next morning at 6am. They waited anxiously for Natalie to be discharged and hear news about Paula.

They were both admitted in the school clinic and Natalie had minor injuries compared to Paula.

Ingrid rose when she saw Natalie appearing from the corridor leading to the waiting room.

Natalie limped on one foot and groped on the wall for support. Before Ingrid walked forward, nurse May, who was at the receptionist’s desk, dashed to Natalie to receive her.

“Are you doing alright?” The nurse asked.

“I will be fine.” Natalie replied shortly. She could not get over what she may have done to Paula.

“Natalie.” Ingrid called, approaching them.

The nurse parted from them and Ingrid hugged her friend. “I was so worried.”

Natalie hugged Ingrid back, strongly. She needed the support of a friend so much.

Ingrid drew back and checked her friend. “How are you doing? Are you doing alright? Do you need anything?”

“Yes.” Natalie replied. “I want to know if Paula’s alive.”

Ingrid frowned. “What? After what she did to you?”

“Ingrid, nothing is deserving the loss of someone’s life. Please, tell me how Paula is.”

“Natalie?”

Natalie looked behind Ingrid and noticed Cheryl and her camera man for the first time. She smiled at them. “Hi.”

“Sorry for what happened to you.” Cheryl added on behalf of her and Fred.

“Thank you Cheryl. Now, can anyone tell me what happened to Paula?” She asked before a new group of the St. Ann Marie students entered the clinic from the open swing doors in front of them.

 Lucie, who also escaped prison, led the group and frowned when she saw Natalie. “You! You are a murder! How could you do that to my friend?” she growled.

Natalie gulped. Paula died?? She took in a deep breath and told Lucie. “I had no intention of killing your friend. She came to the bathroom to attack me.” She defended herself.

Lucy’s face folded with rage. “You are a liar!” she shouted.

“Okay. Stop it! All of you.” Nurse May ordered, standing behind the reception desk. “Nobody’s dead, alright?”

Natalie sighed with relief.

“But, still. She deserves to be jailed for trying to kill her.” Lucie insisted.

Ingrid stepped in front of Natalie, getting mad at Lucie. “Don’t you even feel ashamed of yourself when you say that? Everybody knows how you and Paula, murdered Natalie’s friend in Berlin during the international competitions. Natalie wasn't bold enough to be witness to the hearing against you but, if it wasn't for that, you two would be rotting in prison for what you did.”

Lucie was silent, biting her lower lip in anger.

Just then Dr. Gamaliel arrived the waiting room from the corridor and greeted with amazement, the fisty atmosphere.

Natalie turned to him. “Doctor, how is Paula doing?”

“So, now you are acting like you care.” Lucie reckoned rudely.

The doctor glanced at Lucie and looked back at Natalie. “She is out of danger.” He begun and Natalie sighed with relief. “For now.” He added, breaking Natalie’s spirit.

“What is going to happen to her doctor? She hit her head pretty bad.” Lucie asked.

The doctor turned to her. “She has to be transferred to a referral hospital in London. I will talk to Madam Sue now.”

“Amh, can we get coverage on what happened, doctor?” Cheryl asked, as Fred raised the camera he had, recording the doctor.

The doctor took a moment to decide then replied. “Okay. Wait here till I get back from the director’s office.”

“Can we see her?” Lucie asked on behalf of her friends who escorted her.

“Yes of course but, one by one.” He agreed and turned to the nurse. “Nurse May, please escort her to emergency ward.

“Yes doctor.” The nurse said and requested the French girls to follow her.

The doctor left and Cheryl and her camera man turned to Natalie.

“Natalie, can we interview you?” Cheryl asked.

“I am so tired Cheryl.” Natalie whined. She was in no mood of publicity.

“But, Natalie? You are the President and a lot has been going on around campus since yesterday. Everybody thinks that you tried to get back at Paula for the murder of your friend by killing her.” Cheryl informed.

Natalie’s mouth dropped open with shock. “But, I never meant to harm her. She hit me with a heavy pipe. She was going to render me cripple if I hadn't tried anything. I don’t know what else I could have done to defend myself.”

“So, you pushed her to the sink.” Cheryl concluded.

Natalie frowned. “No! How can you say that? I didn't push her.” She cried feeling indignant. “I tried to keep her from hitting me. She hit her head on the sink. That’s what happened.”

Fred directed the camera toward Natalie. “That’s what Hamerton needs to know.” 

What happened next? Stay tuned to find out!

HAMERTON 2

Thank you God for this opportunity.
Hallo new viewers!

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; Trevor engages with Kehlan who informs him about a break-in in her room and how she was threatened to give information about him. They also share about their love lives and in the end, Trevor is worried about Natalie because of the SOHOT. 

Continue;

10:00PM in Hamerton

Natalie washed her face on the bathroom sink, ready to go to rest. After the meeting with SOHOR and the threats of that strange girl, Natalie felt quite uneasy. She had a feeling at the back of her heart that, she did a wrong thing by breaking off with SOHOR. Though she tried not to, Natalie was very afraid of the girl.

She looked at herself on the mirror and sighed. Her thoughts traveled beyond her reflection. She prayed so much for the day to come so that the SOHOR could leave and she could start organizing about getting Hamerton a new allegiance.

She was very anxious about what Hamerton was talking about. She did not know whether word got out that she broke the allegiance or not. She was completely unaware about what the students were talking about.

She closed the tap and turned to the entrance. She gasped at the sight of Paula at the threshold of the door.

Paula was in her night robe and she held a long pipe in her hand. “You.” she growled at Natalie.

Natalie steeled herself to confront her. “Paula. What are you doing here and why are you holding that pipe?”

“I came to finish what I started before. I hate you Bradley!” she shouted.

Natalie frowned. “You are a murderer Paula. You have no heart. How do you even sleep with yourself?”

“That is none of your business!” Paula retorted aloud.

“You can’t hurt me Paula. There are secret cameras everywhere.” Natalie posed, trying to discourage her.

“So I heard.” Paula said, “But, not in the bathrooms.” She said and gritted her teeth, marching forward. She hit Natalie on the stomach with the pipe. 

“Aah.” Natalie groaned in agony, holding her belly and dropping on the floor.

Paula opened the sink taps so as to bury the noise in the room with the water splash.

Natalie lost her correct sight, she felt as if the world was spinning around. The pain was too intense.

Without mercy, Paula hit Natalie again on the side making Natalie cry and lie on her back.

“This is for making fun of me and keeping me in prison you fool!” Paula shouted at her.

“What are you talking about?” Natalie cried indignantly. “I have never hurt you. Why are you doing this to me?”

“I hate you!” Paula screamed and raised the pipe in the air to hit Natalie again.

Natalie stared at the pipe in terror. She expected it to fall on anywhere on her body like a thunder bolt. She had to defend herself and the only part she had strength in was in her legs that were also close to Paula.

She kicked Paula’s feet, making Paula loose balance and fall backward, releasing the pipe and knock her head on the flooding sink.

Natalie watched as Paula drop on the bathroom floor, with a huge thud and a paddle of blood build up around the head.

Natalie panted and felt her stomach and ribs, struggling to get on her feet. She was so confused. She was almost sure that she killed Paula.

She placed groped hand on the wall for support and dragged herself to the exit to call for help.

***

5:00PM in New York City

"That will be all, thank you Mrs. Bradley.” A police officer told the lady after concluding her interrogation in his office.

Mrs. Bradley, who sat across the police’s desk, nodded and thanked as well, rising.

She left the room and emerged into a narrow corridor, walking to the hallway where Grayson and more other people were waiting for their loved ones to be bailed out or, to leave the interrogation rooms.

In the corridor, Mrs. Bradley met a cop maneuvering a delinquent to the cells on another side of the Police station. She shook her head, thinking just how the boy’s mother must have been feeling. She wanted neither of her children to grow up and have rude habits like Simon or his likes.

She entered the hallway and Grayson, the averagely tall young man with very black and glossy hair, rose to receive her.

He removed his headphones to communicate with Mrs. Bradley and joined his hands a bit anxiously. “So, how was it?” He asked.

“It was good that the NYPD believed me.” She replied and glanced at the baby in the trolley next to Gray. “How is he?”

“He has been well behaved. I think that, there is a chemistry between us.”

Mrs. Bradley smiled a little.

“Shall we go now?” He asked.

“Yes. I want to get out of this place.” she said, sounding a bit agitated.

Grayson nodded and led the way out.

Later, they sat in Mrs. Bradley’s car. Grayson was behind the wheels and Mrs. Bradley sat at the front seat, snuggling her baby close to her chest.

He started the engine and glimpsed at Mrs. Bradley’s face. She was quite disturbed. Maybe it was her first time to be a witness to something, especially because she also associated with the victim.

“So, do they know who killed him?” He asked, driving the car out of the station.

“No, but, they are looking for him. They also found out that, his friend died. Simon shot him accidentally, aiming at my daughter. Simon tried to rape Natalie, her boyfriend saved her.”

Grayson widened his eyes in puzzlement. “All that happened? When?”

“According to one of Simon’s friends who was arrested, last year.”

“Did Natalie tell you about it?”

“No. And that’s what makes me feel bad.”

Gray was silent or a moment, trying to imagine how everything happened. “Did she press charges?”

“No but, Simon ran away from New York a few days later. He only came back to lie to me about my daughter.”

“I am so sorry Mrs. Bradley.”

“Thank you son.” Mrs. Bradley replied warmly and cuddled her son’s cheeks. “I just can’t wait or the day to come when, our family will be rejoined again.” She said longingly. “I want all my kids with me, to watch them grow and take care of them.” she said and turned to Grayson. “And you too, Gray.”

Grayson smiled at that. “Thank you Mrs. Bradley.”

They drove silently for a while, until Mrs. Bradley received a phone call.

“Hallow honey?” She called, when she went on air with her husband.

“Hi dear. Have you already left the station?” Mr. Brad replied.

“Yes honey. I’m with Grayson here. He has been a great help.”

“Good. Please thank him for me. So, are you heading back home?”

“Yes honey.”

“Okay. I will try to send you something later. I am seeing my bosses in a few minutes.”

“Thank you darling. I wish you all the best in your meeting.”

“Thank you dear. Kiss Nathan for me.”

Mrs. Bradley laughed. “Okay. So, you have already named him after you?”

He laughed back. “No, no. But, calling him Nathan is unavoidable. After all, you did name him Nathanael.”

“Okay Mr. Daddy. I will kiss Nathan junior for you.”

“That’s even a greater name, Nathan Junior.”

Mom laughed. “I hope that he takes after you.”

“Sure, sure honey. Gotta go now, my superiors are here.” He said quickly.

“Okay. Goodbye, God bless you.” Mrs. Bradley bid her husband before the connection ended. She smiled to herself and lowered her chin to look at the baby. “You heard that, kiddo? You will be called Nathan from now on.”

What happened next? Stay tuned to find out!

HAMERTON Chapter 3- episode 6

HAMERTON 2

Thank you God for this opportunity.
Hallo new viewers!

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; Natalie addresses the HOR and declares to them the withdrawal of Hamerton from the SOHOR. The declaration is received with much shock by the HOR and one girl rises from the crowd to threaten Natalie. 

Trevor met Kehlan who seemed quite disturbed about something. He agrees to go with her to a trysting tree to discuss her problem.

Continue;

“Eh ehm.” Trevor begun after sitting on a rock with Kehlan under a hawthorn tree. “Tell me what’s been bothering you.”

She sighed first looking at some birds jiggle close to her feet. She then turned to him. “I know I shouldn't be saying this because, I was warned not to but,” she paused, swallowing a lump of tears that build up in her throat. “Last night, some people broke into our room. The one that I share with Mandy, do you know her?”

He shook his head but, his eyebrows had risen with curiosity.

She took a second. “It was fearful.”

Trevor decided to take her hands. “Kehlan? Take a deep breath and tell me what happened.”

She exhaled first and nodded, releasing a tear as well. She drew in a deep breath and told him. “Well, they had guns. They strangled my friend and they also placed a gun at my head, threatening to kill me if, if I didn't tell them anything about you.”

“What!” Trevor exclaimed along with Corny’s voice in the receiver.

Kehlan nodded, crying now.

Trevor gasped. “Kehlan… What did they want? Did they tell you who they were? Did they hurt you?” he asked quickly.

She shook her head. “They didn't hurt me but,” she sniffed. “They didn't tell me who they were either. They left our place as soon as I told them what I knew about you and that is,” she cried. “I’m sorry Trevor. They were going to kill my friend.”

“Ask her what she told them.” Corny’s command came in Trevor’s ear through the receiver.

“It’s alright Kehlan, I understand that you were threatened.” Trevor said to her, trying to calm her down. He held her arms, “Can you tell me, what you told them about me?”

She sniffed and nodded. “I told them that we are taking the same faculty. And that, you hardly had friends except me and that woman from Social arts.”

“Maggie.” Trevor reckoned.

“I am sorry Trevor.” Kehlan pleaded again. “They warned me not to tell you but, I couldn't keep silent. I had to show up in campus to warn you. Do you know who those people are, Trevor? Do you?”

He shook his head. “No but, thank you for telling me.”

She nodded.

“Listen, Kehlan, you have to shift to a new room or something. Just stay away from danger. It maybe that, some bad people inside the campus are making bad jokes.” He said, trying to wear off her worries.

“But, Trevor, I don’t think that it was any bad joke. They were actually going to kill us and they insisted that I tell them everything about you. It was as if they knew that we were going out.”

He remained silent, scratching his head.

“Hey, Trevor?” Corny came to the receiver.

“Yes.” Trevor replied.

“See?” Kehlan asked. “You agree with me that, those people were informed about what was going on between us.”

“Yes? I mean no, no Kehlan, those were just…” he was searching for words. “Jesters.”

“I’m going to leave you with Henry here and check on my wife.” Corny sounded in the receiver.

“But, it's okay for us to go out, right?” Kehlan asked before Trevor had the chance to reply Corny.

“It’s okay.” Trevor said and widened his eyes when he realized Kehlan’s excitement. He waved his hands in the air. “Wait, when, Kehlan… no. It’s not what you think.”

“What? You like me right?”

“No!” He snapped and later retracted when he realized how bad he sounded. “I mean Yes. Kehlan, you’re a beautiful woman. A wonderful and the most cheerful person I’ve ever met but, I do not like you that way you want.” He said and sighed, believing that he hurt her feelings. He looked into her eyes, searching for understanding on her part and added. “Kehlan. I am in love with another person and the fear of losing her just makes my mind restless.”

She was silent, motioning her lips without saying anything, probably digesting the heart breaking words.

“Kehlan do you understand?” He asked.

“Who is she?” She asked.

He was caught off guard by the question but, he did not worry about talking about Natalie. “Well, her name is Natalie.” He said first before she interrupted him.

“Does she study here? Did you break up?” She asked.

“No, no but, we do have some barriers keeping us apart.”

She nodded and sighed. “Well, I lost someone once.”

He felt sympathy for her. “Sorry about that. What happened to your relationship?”

“His parents were against our relationship. We had to separate.”

“I’m so sorry for you.”

“Thank you but, it’s already passed.” She said and fixed a smile. “Well, thank you for hearing me out.”

“No. Thank you actually for warning me.”

She nodded and rose. “Goodbye and I’ll take your advice of sleeping outside campus.”

“Do that.”

She smiled again and started strolling away.

Trevor sighed as soon as she was gone. He very shocked that the SOHOT people could get to him and that they were even capable of hurting the people around him.

They were so ruthless. It was undoubtedly true that they killed Simon.

Oh my God does Natalie know? Trevor wondered.

He tried reaching her phone again and this time, it was received.

 What happened next? Stay tuned to find out!

20 FACTS ABOUT HAMERTON

CREATIVE WRITING multtalentedp.blogspot.com is running a special edition to give 20 facts about the trending story; Hamerton, toward the conclusion of it. 

Our viewers and visitors from Facebook get the chance of giving the facts that we broadcast here occasionally and well... become part of the amazing story!

“So you’re leaving?” Natalie asked

“Yes.” Caitlin replied

“And where are you going to study?”

“You mean which school?”

Natalie nodded

“Hamerton”

“Is it in town?” Mrs. Brasdley asked who sat opposite the two.

“Yes in London.” Caitlin replied

“But, why?” Natalie said in a disappointed way

“I don’t understand personally. Father just came home and said; ‘Children! Pack. We’re leaving!” she tried to imitate her father’s voice.

Natalie giggled

“You’re laughing.” Caitlin reckoned

“I will really miss you my friend.” She said

“Are you coming back?” Mrs. Brasdley asked

“I don’t think so. Ever since mom died, dad really wanted to keep us far away from her memories. She bought us the house that we are living in and there are all her belongings; lots of pictures and stuff… things she treasured.” She paused. “Dad wants us; me and my brother away from all that. He says it hurts him because she’s gone and the boy is only eight.” She sighed./

“I’m very sorry Caitlin” Natalie coaxed.

“In one way or another... your father may be right.” Mrs. Brasdley said.

“Mom?” Natalie called frowning. “Caitlin is my best friend and she’s leaving.”

“I know that but, it may be good for her and her brother.”

“Probably…” Caitlin sighed

“What!” Natalie snapped.

Caitlin rose. “I have to go now…I guess”

Mrs. Brasdley rose too.

“Caitlin, you’re not going anywhere.” Natalie said.

“I must Natalie. We’re taking a plane that leaves at 4:00am tomorrow and I haven’t even begun packing yet.”

Natalie rose as well

“Hug your friend Natalie.” Mrs. Brasdley asked.

************

Dear reader and follower of the story Hamerton. Well, if it was not for the the correction/prediction/vocabulary settings of the Microsoft Word document, then that is how the first episode of Hamerton broadcasting @ multtalentedp.blogspot.com would have read like. 

In case you haven't noticed, The Bradleys were not actually Bradleys but, Bradsleys. 

Natalie Bradsley was the original name that I had given the main character of the story Hamerton, on around November 2011. She is now known as, Natalie Bradley because when I typed Bradsley for the first time on my computer, (March this year) it gave me a red correction line below the word and, I had to correct it by omitting the 's' and make her, Natalie Bradley! 

So, there you have it, the second fact  of the 20 facts about Hamerton

HAMERTON Chapter 3 episode 5

HAMERTON 2

Thank you God for this opportunity.
Hallo new viewers!

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; The HOR arrive Hamerton and Natalie is reluctant to receive them. Ivan meets the Oliver Geniuses who also happens to detest the allegiance and he uses that to encourage Natalie to break the union or at least, ban Paula from being apart of it. 

Trevor resolved to tell Natalie to break the union. 

Continue; 

Trevor stood anxiously at the balcony of their University building, holding his cellphone against his ear. The phone kept on ringing without being received. He cursed and lowered it, trying to call again.

“C’mon pick up the phone Natalie.” He murmured, tapping his phone.

Just then, he felt a hand placed over his shoulder and he turned around quickly.

“Hallow?” Kehlan greeted, standing in front him. She was quite sullen unlike he usually saw her.

“Hi.” He replied.

She glanced at the phone in his hand and later at him. “Sorry, did I interrupt your call with someone?”

“No.” he replied and sighed. “Actually, I have been trying to reach this person and could not succeed.”

“I am sorry for you.” she said in a low and sad voice.

He furrowed his eyebrows. “Everything okay?”

She shook her head slowly. Her eyes also glittered with tears.

He narrowed his eyes. “What’s the matter?”

She blinked quickly, trying to shave away her tears and swallowed. “Can we talk?”

“Sure, sure.” He nodded and added. “At the café perhaps?”

“No. The trysting tree at the east of the theater hall. It’s quitter there.” He suggested.

He nodded. “Okay. Amh… There is a trysting tree inside campus?”

She chuckled, showing her first smile since she arrived. “You clearly do not walk around.”

“Well...” he begun excusing himself. “Maybe not that much.”

Back in Hamerton, Natalie took the stage before the HOR. The Representative students, from various schools, occupied a row of seats in a mini conference hall within block B of Hamerton. Here was where Natalie received the House Of Representatives for the first time since they arrived. She had given instructions not to use the Parliament or the theater for their initial meeting and kept the press out of the discussion.

After greeting, she scanned the speech on the decibel that Ivan prepared for her. She smiled a little and read. “Honorable members of the System of Organization of The House Of Representatives, namely; Hamerton School in Madrid, Hamerton girls’ school in Manchester, Neumann Oberschule, Oliver Geniuses, Riktig måte, St. Ann Marie,” she turned to the spectators. “Hamerton School in Hamerton feels greatly privileged to host you and hold the twenty third annual meeting of the House of Representatives in our campus. I, as President of Hamerton, on behalf of the Hamerton community say; welcome.” She begun and paused for some ‘thank you’s.

She turned back to the paper. “Honourable members of SOHOR, you will find that, over the past months, since our last meeting, a lot of things have changed in Hamerton School in Hamerton. This includes the students’ government which is the vital component of the SOHOR. As it is, the primary pillar of SOHOR, government transitions, within the member schools, must coincide with the inauguration in the SOHOR.” She faced the audience. “Honorable members of SOHOR, I believe that, there are some things that we have not addressed. In the inauguration, which the current government of Hamerton School in Hamerton has not yet gone through, the HOR swear to integrity. Some months ago, contrary to that happened, with a leader of the House Of Representatives causing the brutal death of another member of the HOR.” At this the Oliver Geniuses students nodded in approval. Natalie smiled at that. “Hamerton School in Hamerton, does not think that there is any need to go through the inauguration or even, maintain this allegiance, if the principles of the System of Organization of the House of Representatives are violated without the culprits being, punished.” She said, fixing her gaze on Paula who already seemed restless.

At the Hamerton’s side, Sylvester frowned. That was not what he expected from Natalie. He thought that, they agreed to leave the subject of breaking the allegiance out of the discussion. Ivan, who sat next to him, gave Sylvester an assured smile, signaling him that everything was okay.

Natalie went on, looking at the paper. “I recognize the clause 16 of the Constitution that, any member of the SOHOR can delay or reject the inauguration procedure of the SOHOR if at all the member has a valid complaint against the observation of the pillars of the SOHOR.” She turned to her hearers. “In this case, the death of a member of SOHOR in the hands of another member of SOHOR is more than a valid complaint. Hamerton School in Hamerton has every right to be fearful of the SOHOR given that, the incident that happened eight months ago, was not dealt with.” She paused, steeling herself to add. “Hamerton School in Hamerton hereby place a vote of no confidence on the current leaders of the SOHOR and…" she took in a deep breath and went on, "since, we have not yet been inaugurated…” she searched for Ivan in the room and smiled broadly when their gaze met. “I hereby declare the withdrawal of Hamerton School in Hamerton, from the System of Organization of the House of Representatives.”

“What!” Hans exclaimed along with more other representatives inside the room.

Sylvester could not keep himself from rising and walking straight to the decibel.

“What are you doing?” he snapped at Natalie.

“Keeping my school safe.” She replied.

“You can’t do this!” The leader of the Hamerton School in Madrid called out from the spectators.

Sylvester grabbed the mic, slightly pushing Natalie aside. “Honorable members of SOHOR…” He begun before the microphone stopped working.

He frowned and glared at Ivan who seemed to have been mischievously mastered that.

Ivan had risen from his seat. He neglected Sylvester and turned to the HOR members. “Natalie has every right to do whatever she did.” He told them. “This allegiance has caused nothing more than bloodshed, contrary to the integrity that the members of SOHOR have sworn to. With all due respect, honorable members of the SOHOR, you are now recognized as transfer students from partner schools of Hamerton and not members of some wicked allegiance.”

There were shocked gasps.

“Do you know what you’re doing?” A Riktig måte student asked, rising to respond to Ivan. “Breaking this allegiance will cost you dearly.”

“This is just a misunderstanding.” Sylvester tried to intervene.

“No. It is no misunderstanding.” Alastair disagreed, rising as well. “Oliver Geniuses is also against this allegiance given that, we are the victims of the violation of the SOHOR pillar.”

The St. Ann Marie girls were silent.

“Mr. Alastair?” Hans called, trying to plead with him.

“It is true, Hans. We find no profit in this allegiance and it will be against the memory of our member if we keep it.” Alastair told him.

“Mr. Alastair we will deal with that, there is no need to break this union.” Sylvester said.

“There is.” Alastair rejected.

The Hamerton girls of Manchester just shook their heads with impatience.

“Gentlemen, please?” Ivan called. “May we please retire to our temporary homes, we will take care of informing your schools that, Hamerton has been withdrawn from SOHOR and they can pick you at any time from now.”

“You’re throwing us out?” the Riktig måte leader asked.

“Wait till Archibald hears about this!” The leader of Hamerton School in Madrid shouted from the back seats.

Tension inside the room grew as everyone begun arguing about the double-decade old allegiance break up.

Natalie gulped. She never stopped to think about what Archibald would say after hearing what she just did. She knew that Archibald was equally as bad as the rest of the SOHOR were.  

“Boys, boys, quite.”

All eyes in the room turned to the center of the crowd from where the sound came from.

A brunette and the only in the room, rose. She was about eighteen as Natalie imagined. She wore a dark suit and seemed quite confident under her attire. “If Natalie wants to withdraw Hamerton from the allegiance then, so be it.” She said defiantly.  “It’s not like SOHOR is shaken.” She added and turned to Alastair. “My condolences Mister Alastair and if you want to break from the allegiance, it’s alright.” She said and turned to Hans. “Hold yourself together, Hans. You’re better than that.”

Hans cleared his throat and groomed his uniform daintily.

The girl looked at Natalie and took the straight path to the stage and halted a few feet from her. “You’re just as I heard.”

Natalie was silent, not wanting to flinch in front her.

“Brilliant, bold, modest but, stupid.” The girl remarked.

Natalie frowned. “I will not take that from you.”

She chuckled devilishly. “You will rot, Natalie Bradley and I will see to it that you do.”

Natalie fumed with furry.

Ivan, who had already approached the two, took Natalie’s side. “May I remind you that, you are talking to the President.” He said.

The girl glanced at him and nodded to whatever she understood. “It’s alright.” She said and turned back to the HOR who were still watching. “Let us leave with our pride ladies and gentlemen.”

Most of them nodded in agreement and made their way out of the conference hall. 

What happened next? Stay tuned to find out!
