Diruto Academy

Caught

"Rechelle Rancaster and Makayla Jenings come to the principal's office." The intercom says. It's third period and we are sitting together again, last night we had spray painted on the cafeteria wall. I had deeply regretted it after.

We walk to the office as people around us giggle. Makayla is smirking, but under that I see fear. She was broken seeking revenge that she really couldn't get. And I had followed her even though I knew I shouldn't have.

"Makayla, Rechelle look what we found on security tapes." mrs. Camecry has a tv wheeled into her office, on it is black and white security cam. There it was the evidence, that we had committed a crime. "You know I didn't excpecy something from two full paying kids. That was it.

She always belittled the scholarship kids so I stood up from my chair and said, "No, you shouldn't have, but did you expect that from a scholarship? Yes because somehow just how much money you have makes you a bad kid. What's the difference between scholarships and full payers? You guys are so hypocritical. They are just the same as us. I won't stand for it and u don't care if I even get expelled."

Mrs. Camecry just stares at me in disbelief Makayla is too. "Well Rechelle since you've agreed to it, you are expelled." Makayla laughs. It's cold and bone-chilling, almost inhuman. It's fake. I see it in her eyes, she's scared how Camecry will deal with her.

"As for you Makayla, do you agree with Miss Rancaster?" Camecry eyes her, like a hawk. Makayla looks at me, and I want her to say yes but she slowly shakes her head. "No, I don't agree, that's why I vandalized the school, to teach them." Camecry looks in relief. "Makayla you may go back to class, you will only have to clean it off the lunchroom wall. Rechelle, you will be restrained from the campus in two days, start packing." She says. She glares at me disapprovingly, "I'm disappointed in your Rechelle." I smile and reply, "that's what I do." And I walk out. Hopefully that'd be enough for the rest of the group.

"What are you doing?" Alice says as she walks into the dorm. Jess and Jessi are both shocked too. "I got expelled." I simply put it, not revealing my face. Jess and Jessi look down at their feet, unsure what to say. "But... why?" Alice stammers, caught off guard. "Standing up for you guys, you know that graffiti in the lunchroom?" I respond.

They all stay silent as I tell them the story. Alice starts crying halfway through it, while Jess and Jessi follow in pursuit. When I'm done, Alice hugs me, shaking from all the tears, I hug her back. We all eventually end up hugging. Just there.

They all pull away, faces puffy and red. I don't know how but I had ended up crying too, they start grabbing things and helping me pack, "what are you guys doing!" I say. "Well you've got to arrange your flight and say good bye to Everyone." Jessi says. I have an overwhelming burst of gratitude towards them, they still really loved me.

"Bye!" I walked into my last day of cheer and everyone came running to hug me, they were all crying. "We will miss you so much!" Karen says. "Yeah." Jenifer agrees.

She'd broke up with Timothy because they'd grown apart. She still missed him but she didn't show him.

The rest of the girls said their goodbyes and I paused, "wait, why are you talking to me if I support scholarships?" I ask. Karen whispers something in my ear.

I flash back to the day I ended up in the basement where the jail cells were. "I stole food to feed my family one day, I was supposed to go to a disciplinary school so they sent me here." Karen and whispers. I hug her. Now I knew why she had been so touchy on scholarships, she was one.

Jenifer hugged me and sobbed saying, "you showed Camecry, even if I'm not a scholarship I think you've changed us all just a little bit. Camecry will be going down, she's decided to transfer to the highschool, we'll make her life hectic." She winks at me and I walk out of the gym, I had only an hour left to say goodbye to everyone.

Spread the message who Camecry really was.
