Sequel to 'Choices'.
When he said, "It's no where near enough-" he really did mean it after all.
Hardin Scott has held a stunning record at breaking hearts, especially when he is served Theresa Young's.

Every time. Every time, Brandon tells me to enjoy my day, I end up having an awesomely terrible one.
I scribble against my notebook, trying to complete my business studies assignment, so I can squeeze in a free period for the play. Lily sits on one side of me, typing something on her laptop, occasionally sipping her smoothie, and Brit sits on my other, reading through her script.
Hardin's words echo, over and over, and I push it to the back of my unsettling head.
"Tessa, you're really going to do that? I mean, Trevor can get expelled, this is- bad." Brit speaks up in a serious tone and my pen halts on the page.
You can't do that to Trevor. You would never.
"Of course she won't, Brit what is wrong with you?" Lily chirps, looking up at her, with a scoff.
"But she told Hardin-"
"Do you really think she came to know about the whole- scandal from Harass-din?" She chuckles and I glare at the lines of sentences written in my handwriting, still lost, in my own thoughts.
"When we entered Math this morning, the whole classroom was empty. Hoffmann was almost leaving; he said class was cancelled because of a staff meeting, insert my happy dance at this point, please, and then Brandon called Tessa. He filled her in on everything, she has already given the vote, she just has to go to the meeting tomorrow. Now you get why I pushed you to contest for Chairperson?"
Lily ends with a proud undertone, her hands fisted below her chin and carries a satisfied smile. I can sense Brit looking at me in wonder.
"What did Brandon say?"
I blink, recollecting the whole episode in his office, and looking at the white of my paper, narrate everything to her.
"He said that he was against the violence, but he believed that Trevor would not do it without reason. He thinks the problem to have started from the other side. He's, with him on this.
For better representation of the student group, the Board had given the Student Council representative a right to a double vote.
So when the motion is made, the Board, Founder Council, Teachers' representative, and Student Council taken together, it will be in Trevor's favour. I have given the vote, I need to attend the meeting where it'll be announced so- nothing, happens to Trevor."
I finish with a quiet whisper, and after a minute, resume my writing.
"And Hardin doesn't know?" Brit asks and I sigh.
"When it comes to not knowing things, your brother is a bloody professional." Lily mutters and I look up at Brit finally.
"Nobody knows, yet."
Brit's face visibly relaxes, and her expression shifts to an understanding one.
