HAMERTON 2
Thank you God for this opportunity.
Hallo new viewers!
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.
