The next day at school, Olive and I were just coming out of the detention room where we were detained for conversing during a combined lecture when Tiffany cornered us and stroke a conversation.
"What's up with you two?" She asked.
"We're good", Olive was quick to answer before I did.
"I wasn't asking about that", She continued.
"Then, what was it you were asking?" I asked her, cocking one eyebrow.
"The video. You two have done nothing about it. I thought you wanted to expose her criminal behaviour".
"It's on us to decide. What are you so worried about?" Olive asked.
"Or did she say anything, I mean Jane?" I asked, carefully placing my undetected trap.
"Well, she was planning on making reference to Olive's scandal in her publication and so you need to shun her before she does it", She answered looking tensed like she was hiding something or maybe she was.
"Then, we are looking forward to it", Olive answered without giving her answer a thought.
"Seriously? Without altering it?" She asked with a confused expression.
"Anyway,we have a better way of doing it. Just accompany us to the debate club room", I proposed and she agreed. This was gonna be the day of retribution indeed.
"So, what is it you're gonna do?" Tiffany asked me in a whisper.
"Just watch", Olive replied.
As soon as we stepped inside, Jane howled out.
"Members only. Non-members should their way out".
"We clearly know the rules, Miss pim-pim pong stockings", Olive retorted.
"And you are cleaaaarly breaking them, black sheep", Jane replied back.
"No we ain't. We got invited in by a member. That ain't breaking the rules, is it?"
"What do you want?"
"As the 'president', you shouldn't be rude to your guests. That's basic etiquette".
"But I can to unwelcomed guests".
"Enough of the drama. We're not here for the hullabaloo but for something else", I said as calmly as I can but that couldn't stop Jane from being rash.
"You sound like you have nothing to say", Jane said.
"And you sound like you are power drunk", Olive replied.
"Actually we do have something to say", I said.
"Speak up!", Jane said impatiently.
"Listen to this", I said as I clicked on the sound recorder I got from Tiffany's flashdrive.
"Tiffany told you that, right?" I asked Jane.
"Yeah, she did. She's the reason I knew about your secret with evil plot of having more followers and more votes", Jane replied.
"But we never said that", I said.
"Don't tell lies here", Jane hissed.
"You don't believe me? Then listen to this", I said as I clicked on the sound record of what Tiffany said before we came in here. Just as I expected, Jane wore a bewildered look.
"But...but...I never said. I never did".
"That's the point I've been trying to make. None of us have said those things. Tiffany has just been instigating us both with lies and manipulates us to pull each other down while she gets the profit of it all and she does it such a way you won't be able to suspect it's her doing", I said.
"But how?", Jane asked looking confused
"Think of it. If she had succeeded in using us to bring you down, she would be the next in line to be in the position and by that time, it's already too late to counter it", Olive put in.
"You are a psycho, A SICK PSYCHOPATIC PATIENT", Jane screamed as she made to pounce on Tiffany but we stopped her just in time.
"You don't have to be hysterical. It's karma. You pulled Olive from that position. You're lucky you didn't get the same embarrassing dethronement", I said and Jane apologized.
"I'm sorry. I just got bitterly jealous".
"But was it necessary to shatter all my years of hardwork and accomplishment, was it really necessary? I busted my butt to get to where I am today but you totally destroyed it and now you think your 'sOrRy' is gonna help? The feeling of being completely shattered and hopeless is worse than a fellow member's betrayal", Olive said looking really hurt.
"Please, I'm sorry. I will correct everything".
"It's okay. What is most important isto explain all of this to Helena", Olive stated.
"I heard everything. I know everything now", a voice from the doorway said. We all turned to the door and saw Helena. She stepped in and said.
"Now, it's all resolved. We shouldn't hold a grudge against anyone and we should also forgive Tiffany".
"We already did", Jane said and continued.
"I was already worried about what my next publication will be about but this that happened is already a great event to write about".
Everyone smiled and she added.
"Olive, we've done you dirty by taking away your right ful position so you correct that, we would be returning the position to you. You worked hard for it so you deserve it".
"Do I have to accept it?" Olive jokingly asked.
"It's a command", Jane answered chuckling.
"So, to round this up, we've got a new press club president. Make sure you add that to your next publication", Helena said smiling.
"Of course yes, everyone, congratulate the new president", Jane said and everyone said in unison.
"CONGRATS!!!!!".
