Reborn Dean Bingham

Coup De Grace

"The winner's are the trio of Hanna Rae, Scarlet Crowe and Dean Bingham" Ms. Storm announced . " Congratulations " both Mr.Romero and Mr.Reigns said shaking our hands. " The stage is yours" Ms.Storm smiled handing the microphone to Hanna. " One second" Aria interrupted grabbing one of the extra microphones. " I would just like to say that if we lost to anyone in this competition we're glad it was the three of you" Aria said smiling at us then turning the microphone off.

" Thanks Ari, I have to say that this whole competition was unbelievable and a lot of fun" Hanna said handing the Microphone over to Scarlet. " If I had to win this competition with anyone I'm glad it was with my sister and my new best friend and that I could compete against a highly decorated duo" Scarlet said  handing the microphone to Ms.Storm." Do you have anything to add Dean ?" Ms.Storm asked.

 I looked into the crowd where my eyes  met  Roderick's.By the expression on his face he was giving me the go ahead. " Not really, except that my name isn't Dean Bingham" I said as Ms.Storm handed me the Microphone. " My name is Kevin Graves.I'm the unidentified person that attempted to rescue Mr.Mcfly from a house fire in Calgary. Unfortunately he didn't make it.The two mounth that the police  "looked" for me  I was in a hospital bed recovering from facial reconstructive surgery, They couldn't find a body so they declared me dead with no proof. One last thing. People judge others  based off how they look, act, speak and even who their family is. Everyone judged me and Rod based on our parents life choices. So I'm glad they considered me dead. I was able to have a fresh start, but along the way I hurt and lied to people who were my friends and that I cared about.For that I'm sorry, and if me revealing who I am reverses the decision on the winners don't take it out on Scarlet and Hanna just pretend I was never in the competition. " I said turning off the Microphone and handing it to Ms.Storm before exiting the stage as I got off stage  people stared in awe.

I didn't stop walking until I  made it to the bleachers. At that time the only emotions I felt were a mix between confusion and relief. " Did I seriously just do that ?" I said to myself climbing to the top of the bleachers. "Wow that was for sure a moment to remember " I heard a voice say. I turned around to see Scarlet climbing up the bleachers and taking a seat next to me. I ignored her comment because I knew she was just being smart.  After a few minutes of silence I finally spoke up. " Why aren't you mad at me for lying to Hanna for months ?" I asked. " You did what you did so you could start fresh.Like I said a few weeks ago everyone has a secret, Either they did something that they regret or  something they don't want to talk about. And most people if they had the opportunity they  would press that big old rewind button and start over again.  You were  being labeled as something you weren't so you took the opportunity that was given to you and now you have everything you ever wanted " She said trying to cheer me up.   

" You're right, If it wasn't for this opportunity I wouldn't  be dating your sister" I replied . " Why do you think that ?" I heard Hanna ask. walking towards us. " We were friends, I always  liked you but I was too nervous to say anything in fear of how you'd respond,  Me being Dean gave me  the confidence to ask you out because we were closer than we  were before" I explained  as she took a seat beside me. " I always sorta thought that you liked me but I always told myself not to get my hopes up" Hanna confessed nervously. " I want you to know whether you're Kevin or Dean that I still love you and nothing will change that. She added reassuringly. " Thanks" I whispered as we both leaned in for a kiss. 

" Get a room you to" Aria laughed. " Eww PDA" Scarlet  said mockingly to Hanna. " Really you two ?" I said. " When did you go ?" Hanna asked unaware that Scarlet left. " When things got a little sappy I decided I'd let you have some alone time" Hanna explained.  " There you are " Roderick said as Zora, Owen and Roderick walked towards us. " What's up, everything okay ?" I asked as Hanna and I entwined our fingers.

" Yea everythings good no need to get alarmed, I just wanted to make sure you didn't run off " Roderick explained. " So what happens now ?" Aria asked. " I guess I should probably turn myself in for faking my death" I said. " Technically you never faked your death you changed your name after you found out you died" Zora  reminded me. " You're right" I replied  " Now's the fun part " Roderick said. " What's that ?" I asked in confusion. " What name  are you going to go by ? " Roderick questioned. I thought for a few minutes. Obviously Dean's my first name" I explained since I always liked my middle name more than my first name . " You need a last name incase you get married in the future" Scarlet said nudging my arm. " Your last name is Bingham right?" I asked Roderick and Zora. " As of two days ago we're both Bingham's" Zora said. " Okay well it's settled, Grandpa always wanted  mom to keep her last name to carry on the family name and since it's only the two of us we'll just continue the family name going " I explained. " So Bingham it is " Roderick clarified. " Dean  Bingham" I replied.  

" Let's go home" Zora suggested to Roderick. " We'll see you all later" Roderick said as he left. Only the five of us we're standing together. " Well now that the excitements over  things will go back to the way they were" Aria sighed in disappointment .  " Aria since when are things boring,especially with the five of us together ?" Owen asked  " Owen's right, we have two weeks left before the end of grade 11 and than we have another school year to go my friend" Hanna smiled leaning into my chest.  " And the fun has only just begun" Scarlet said. As I was looked at my circle of friends.
