The Salem Trials

Chapter 4: Class dismissed (Shaima)

This is scary. We were all chosen to do the Salem Trial and I don't know what to do. I got my role which is Serial killer. It seems like a cruel role, but I will deal with it. I can see Lapis panicking and the others silent. This is a lot of pressure.

"So what do we do know prez." said Christian.

"We have to pack up our stuff and head to the main gate of the school." said Cordelia.

"So we are leaving the campus." said Lapis with a sad expression.

"Yeah, we are leaving the campus, but it alright, it on the mountain. It a nice place to see the town up high," said Cordelia

"Yeah a nice place for murder," said Christian

"Look I'm just doing what the Headmaster told me to do," said Cordelia

"Oh really Little miss perfect, tell me something. Why were we chosen?" asked Christian

Then we all stop. That question hit us. Why were we chosen? Why they kept it a secret? Why us?

"Why so curious" replied Cordelia

"Why got to be such a bitch," said Christian

"Ooooohhh"

"Look I'm just doing my job, so why don't you take your attitude and shove it up your ass!" said Cordelia

We all became quiet. We didn't expect this kind of profanity from the president. Christian doesn't look too happy or amused on what she just said to him. But then he suddenly laughed and started to walk up to her and grabbed her neck.

"Listen here you little bitch, we are all shocked and terrified. And you expect us to follow orders like dogs. Look at everybody, we are speechless and scared because we don't know who will live or who will die. So why don't you give your condolences and respect for us." said Christian

Cordelia froze. All she did was look at the floor.

There was silence was in the room.

She forced Christian to let go of her neck and began to speak.

''I'm human just like you guys! I have feelings too you know. And right know I feel like crap. Yesterday my dad told me that I won't be the heiress to the Diamond company since I was chosen to die. I understand how you are all feeling. We are miserable and we don't know if we will live to see our future. So the reason why I chose to corporate, is because there is no solution for stopping this curse. And yes I knew about the Salem trial, but I research everything there is about this fucking curse and there is none!"

She slowly dropped to the floor to sit and began to cry.

We all joined her, except Christian.

"It okay Cordelia, we understand what you were trying to do. So we believe and I hope you will continue to lead us on the right path."

"Thank you Shaima, no thank you, everybody, for continuing to believe in me. I will continue my duty as you student council president."

We applauded her as she got up. However Christian didn't look too happy. He started to head to the dormitory without saying another word.

I have faith in Cordelia and everyone else does too. I don't think anyone in this room will kill someone.

I began to pack all of my stuff. But I felt like forgot to do something.

I wonder......

That's right I have to tell my parents that I'm in the Salem trial.
