The teachers, slightly panicked, wonder if the alarm was due to a real fire. The fire brigade was quickly called, but upon close inspection it was clear that it was a false alarm. The assembled students whispered among themselves, curious and excited by this unexpected interruption.
The director, visibly annoyed, climbed onto a small improvised platform and spoke using a megaphone.
- "Ladies and gentlemen," she said, her voice echoing in the courtyard, "the joker who saw fit to set off this alarm for a ridiculous joke would do well to come to my office immediately. This type of behavior is unacceptable and will be severely punished. Now, all teachers, please return to class with your students"
She walked down the stage with a stern look, her eyes scanning the crowd as if hoping to identify the culprit with a single glance.
As the students began to disperse and return to class, I glanced over at Rhea and Nyx. We share a knowing smile, the adrenaline of our success still palpable. With a discreet nod, we head towards the exit, taking advantage of the confusion to leave the establishment without being noticed.
"Let's go to my place," Nyx suggests. We will have more peace of mind to develop the rest of the plan.
We walk away from the school, careful not to attract attention. Once outside, we quickly walked towards Nyx's house, our hearts still pounding with excitement.
Arriving at Nyx's house, we sit comfortably in her living room. She brings out some drinks and snacks, and we settle into the couches, a feeling of triumph hanging in the air.
-Well done, girls, I said, taking the director's phone out of my bag. Now it's time to take the next step.
Rhea, amused, looked at me with a mischievous look.
-Are you sure of what you're doing? Humiliating the director is risky.
I nod, confident.
-I know, but it doesn't scare me. They need to understand that I'm not the type of girl to let things happen.
Nyx smiles, ready to support our plan.
-So, what do we do with this phone?, she asks
-Do you remember the bar on the corner?, I asked them
-The one where a man was lynched to death? Asked Nyx
-He was not lynched to death since he is still alive, I replied.
-Yes, but he lost the use of all his limbs, Rhea reminded me
-He didn't just have to try to scam the bar owner, I told him, shrugging my shoulders casually.
I think for a moment, then I begin to explain my plan to them in detail. Excitement and anticipation build as we prepare for our masterstroke. Tomorrow, the school will not soon forget this day, and I plan to make sure my message is heard.
