The Girl.

The results , the new enemy .

Today is the voting day . Alfonso is to find out whether the students still have trust in him . Santiago is to find out whether he will have his vengeance on Fiona for ignoring his love for her , the ballot papers were taken and distributed amongst the classes , students had to vote from their respective classrooms and the teachers had to take the ballots to the second dean's office for the final counting and that's what exactly was done early that morning .

In Santiago's class , it was quite clear he couldn't count on Victor .Natalia .Huria and Fiona but he was certain with Susana's vote and the rest from other classes , he could win Alfonso , to be certain ,he came and asked Susana who she was voting for .

"Santiago, with that testimony from the soldier . I feel confused . I don't know who to vote for . I want to vote for the guerrillas to leave but when I think about that soldier's testimony and what you told me about Fiona . I think we're not doing the right thing , we should give up on this , am sure we might even lose ."

"Calm down Susana , am happy about from where the votes will be counted , doctor Caroline is new in this university, we can count her on , she will count the votes correctly and from the support I saw among the students from the assemblies we held , we are going to win this ."

"I hope so Santiago but to be honest . I not assure of what we're doing ."

At around midday , all the students from the university were done with the voting , the ballot papers were taken to doctor Caroline's office . Santiago . Alfonso , a few professors and the university chancellor were invited to witness the counting , after counting all the votes , the results showed that 49% of students wanted the former guerrillas to leave the university and 51% of the students wanted the former guerrillas to be given a chance to be a apart of the university and which meant that Alfonso stays as the dean of university till the board decides on who will be the next dean of the university. Santiago claimed that that wasn't convincing enough , maybe another election should take place immediately.

Doctor Caroline didn't listen to him because his claims were absurd , he had totally lost and what he was asking for was time consuming . Another assembly was called for immediately after getting the results from the election , the students came out from where they were to go and find out what came out from the voting . Natalia met Santiago on her way out and mocked him that he must have lost dearly now that he was wearing a sad face . Santiago remained quiet because he knew what the results were .

"I'm glad for your response all of you here ." Caroline who was now well known by couple of students as a second dean took a microphone. "On behalf the dean of this university with whom it would have been inconvenient to come here and announce the results . I would like to let you all know what came out from what has been bothering you for the past few days ,according to all of the students of this university, it clearly shows that 49% of the students would like to have the former guerrilla militants out of the university and 51% think it's not a good idea . I know that results may not be convincing but let's try to respect each others' voice ." She made her announcement as the 51% among the students looked so excited and hugging one another, for Santiago , he immediately took the microphone.

"I would like to congratulate doctor Alfonso on his win but there is one thing I'd like to make clear to him , he won't have a clean conscience . I can not believe it that you're going to allow these monsters to be a part of this university, however for a person like me who sticks to my principles and my morals . I can not be a part of this . I can not be in a university with guerrillas." He threatened to leave and left the microphone.

Natalia who couldn't stop enjoying the moment of Santiago's loss came and approached him again just after he stepped down from the podium , told him that besides bullying Pilla who karma brought to him as his patient for him to change his way ,he went on with his pathetic idea of trying to kick out innocent girls and boys in the university who were trying to have a better future .
