Being LOVED

Chapter 3 Beginning

Superintendent laughs “Im really disappointed seeing students doing a stunt like that” then sight as she looked at Sean and Justine then spins her chair towards the two, who is standing at her office after what happened in the welcoming party in university org.
 Justine punches Sean in the face that moment the superintend was doing her rounds and saw what happens in front of her eyes.
(skips the scene to the current happenings)
“Mr. Justine what are you doing? Using violence in the university not once but twice” she said in a disappointed tone. “luckily I was able to stop the first one from circulating due to the effort of the student council” then proceed to get a folder and look at it.
“And you Mr. Sean what is this you’re a senior student you should set a good example” then throw a student handbook in front of them “if you guys are familiar with that handbook this offence is serious”
Justine picks the handbook and proceed to browse it
“According to that handbook, you Mr. Justine should be stripped of your scholarship and take a 1-week suspension” which gives Justine a devastated look dropped the handbook
“Regarding Mr. Sean, since he is the somewhat victim, he will be subject to community service and a one-week suspension." Sean remained unresponsive, his gaze fixed on Justine, who appeared deeply troubled.

At that moment, there was a knock at the door. "Excuse me, ma'am, it's Gram. I'm here to submit the proposals as per your request," Gram announced from the other side.

"Please come in," the superintendent replied. Gram entered the room and immediately locked eyes with Sean for a few seconds before turning to Justine, who was speechless and visibly worried.

"Let me review the proposals," the superintendent said, attempting to maintain a professional demeanor. "They appear to be in order. You may leave them here, and I will review them thoroughly later." She closed the folders and noticed the tension in the room. "Is there anything amiss? You seem concerned," she remarked.

Gram hesitated before responding, "Actually, it's the theater club again."

"What seems to be the issue this time?" the superintendent inquired, sighing.

"Well, as you know, the tickets have been distributed to the parents, and the play is scheduled for next week. Unfortunately, the actors who were cast as the main characters are missing," Gram explained in a calm and measured tone.
"Excuse me, could you please remind me of the theme of the play we are currently promoting?" she inquired. "We are currently promoting a genderless adaptation of Sleeping Beauty, as part of our advocacy for the acceptance of same-sex relationships on campus."

The superintendent smiled as she looked at Justine and Sean.

Sean thought to himself, "I know that smile. That hag is up to something nefarious again." Gram also noticed the smile and became silent and still, both of them recognizing the implications of that smile.

"Alright, here's what's going to happen. I'm going to give the two of you a chance. I mean, you, Mr. Sean, and Mr. Justine, since you value your scholarships so much." As soon as Justine heard this, he stepped forward. "Yes, ma'am, and whatever it is you want me to do, I'll do it gladly," Justine said with determination.

The superintendent laughed. "That's what I want to hear. You're one of my favorites now, Mr. Justine." She put her fingers together, looking villainous. "Now, what I want is for you and Mr. Sean to take the place of the missing actors in the play next week."
“sly haaag ...I mean ..Madam, what happens if I refuse to comply with your request?” Sean inquired promptly as the superintendent concluded her statement.
“Mr. Sean, I anticipated your response,” she chuckled before slouching in her chair. “You may enter now; you've been eavesdropping the entire time.” Tight entered the room, visibly anxious and stressed.
“Since the university organization is responsible for the recent violent incident on campus, as per the handbook, the club must be disbanded and stripped of its privileges. This also applies to its members, who will forfeit their extracurricular grades,” she explained.
Gram and Tight exchanged glances, silently communicating their agreement. "Yes, ma'am," Tight said in a tense voice. "The Organization will assume responsibility for this matter. Please feel free to utilize these two individuals to the fullest extent."
Turning to Mr. Sean, "Now, Mr. Sean, are you still refusing?" Sean remained silent, locking eyes with the Superintendent.
(In Gram and Tight's minds, the Superintendent was the epitome of cunning and manipulation.)
"Very well," Sean finally relented. "I'll do it." He then turned to Tight and exchanged a series of subtle signals.
(Gram's thoughts: "Here we go again. The Superintendent has cleverly exploited Sean's pride and deep loyalty to the Organization. She outwitted him once before, and now she's employing even more sophisticated tactics." Gram observed the silent communication between Sean and Tight, trying to decipher their intentions.)
"Very well, let's proceed with the discussion," the superintendent responded.
