Benriesan Socialis

3

All the Benrisan Socialis members met up for that prank that they were going to do. A prank needed careful planning, to make sure that they would not get caught.
Benrie confessed to Mdm Aa that it was her, and got away with a hard scolding. Mdm Aa was very impressed by her honesty. Anyways, Benrie would always be Benrie, a cheeky monkey, you would never run away from that.
"I don't want to hurt them as bad as Lynn... no, I want to slap them... no... we should avenge Lynn but.... Sometimes... if we do the same to them, are we not equally bad? Ugh! I'm so confused now!" Nut moaned as she tried to figure out what to do.
"I hate them," Isabel agreed. "But Netanya has a point. If we revenge them, we are equally bad."
"Yes." Nut added. "I've decided. We are only going to reveal exactly what happened. Nothing more until we see how they react afterwards." Nut paused for a moment before adding quietly, "but I'll still hurt her if she hurts Minion again." She was sure that nobody could hear her but Hen nodded in agreement.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hen, she thinks she's so amazing. What with her awesome mimicking and hearing!" Pheebs moaned, angry that Hen wanted no part in the revenge plan.
"Hey!" Nut complained, snapping out of her complicated thoughts. "I stand with Henrietta Tjan Shii Ern and I started her on mimicking!" Nut complained.
Henrietta smiled. It was true that Netanya started her on mimicking, but she was just glad that Nut stood by her. "I mean, it's not right for them to treat her like that... I'm not going to sink to their level though. We reveal them and see how they react." Henrietta whispered to Netanya.
"I think that this happened all year... but it was not as bad before," Netanya muttered worriedly, slipping into Italian. According to her, it helped her calm herself by trying to translate the words. "I may have seen her cry before...but it was different..."
"Operation Save Lynn, now." Benrie said, determined.
The only problem was, how was Mr Fan going to believe that she was framed? What reason did he have to believe a bunch of little kids poking into the P6s business over the Head Prefect? Plus, Rebecca hated Isabel and was (still is and forever will be) a fake, idiotic and shitty head prefect (sorry I'm just pissed excuse my language) who very evidently had many bad qualities which she unfortunately possessed.
"You are such a bore!" Isabel complained loudly, a little too loud for a Friday afternoon at Starbucks. "This is my chance to get revenge! Rebecca is so mean!"
"We are only avenging Lynn, 'Sabel!" Hen snapped irritably. "We are saving our fun, non-harmful pranks for that day."
"This is a public place! You do not go around revealin' the damn plan!!" Netanya chided unhappily. "Come on, Hen!" Netanya paused for a moment before adding in a much milder tone, "Let's do this... for Minion and Minion only... I'm gonna text Minion."
"Don't tell her!"
"I'm not going to!"
Nut turned away and pulled out her phone.
Hey, Minion! How are you?
I'm fine.
No... you aren't... Tell me the damn truth, Lynn Tan Kai En!
Fine, I'm  not okay. Is that enough for you!?
Sowwy...?
"She's different... more formal... angered more easily." Netanya mumbled to Hen.
Sorry... it's just been...hard.
It's okay... I understand... how... how bad is it?
Quite.
We're here for you, y'know...?
Yeah! We are!
Thanks... I guess... it-it won't help though... it won't change anything.
Then we will!
Ely, what do you mean?
She means that we will be here to support you...
I... I can't face it... what will people say when they see me on Monday?
Nothing, We will be with you. Nobody will notice anything, I promise.
I promise.
But, Mr Fan... he's... I can't even... he can't...
What is it??
He's going to... strip me of my tie and.... Discipline mistress.... And make an announcement... whole school...
We're here for you, Lynn.
We'll make it better.
I promise, nobody will know what happened. We'll rig the PA system if we have to.
We'll kidnap Mr Fan if we have to.
We'll destroy the school if we have to.
Thanks... I guess... I-I don't think t-that would help t-though...
The trio looked up from their phones, determination blazing in their eyes. "I'll side with Benrie." Eleanor decided, trying hard to smile. It was worse than they thought. They even had a damned time limit now!
"What about CCTVs?" Netanya asked quietly.
"We can't check them." Henrietta shook her head sadly.
"Then we'll hack the system!" Eleanor exclaimed, almost knocking over her drink as she stood.
"I don't care if we get in trouble," Netanya added. "This is for Lynn and we have no rep at all to lose."
"Are you 360% sure? On the completely, amazingly awesome, nonexistent 5R?" Henrietta asked, turning to face her two friends.
"I, Netanya Faith Tham, am 360% sure that, on 5R, I will sacrifice my reputation to get Lynn out of trouble and reveal the truth." Nut exclaimed, putting her fist over her heart.
"I, Eleanor Tay, am 360% sure that, on 5R, I will sacrifice my reputation to get Lynn out of trouble and reveal the truth." Eleanor repeated, inserting her name.
"I, Henrietta Tjan, am 360% sure that, on 5R, I will sacrifice my reputation to get Lynn out of trouble and reveal the truth." Henrietta pledged along with her friends. "Benriesan Socialis forever! For 5R!" The trio did their special handshake before walking over to the rest of the Benriesan Socialis and quickly told them of the updated plan.
"... as little people as responsible so it'll be just the three of us because we are closest to her. If the need arises, we will ask ya'll for help. Socialis dismissed!" Netanya finished. The Socialis slowly trickled away, rather disappointed.
    Hen thought back on what had happened to Onna the day before. It was a harmless prank but Onna had been hurt by it. Nobody really liked her but... all their pranks were supposed to have rule. The rule being: All risks I take are mine and mine alone. Nobody will get hurt.
    Onna was hurt. She did try to tattle and it wasn't the plan... but she was still hurt and that was important. But, did she get herself hurt or was it me who hurt her? Hen wondered, feeling slightly guilty.
Even though she had confessed, Hen still had not apologised sincerely to Onna. Maybe it was her pride. She could not bring herself to apologise to her enemy. She was also a little nervous, wondering what would Onna say when she did that. However, she knew that it was the right thing and maybe, just maybe, it could heal things between her and Onna.

         It was finally the weekend. Benrie was sitting down on her desk, doing some deep reflection that she hardly did, when suddenly, her phone beeped. She then picked up her phone and entered her password, finding out that a P6, Kai-Xuan, had texted her.
Hey Henrietta...
Anything up?
About Lynn...I know you and her are close friends, and you must have heard about today's happenings. Well, it was not her, and I have proof.
Really, where?
I saw Caila, Faith, and Rebecca, doing it, and I got a video!
Great!
Ikr!
Wait a minute, not great. Are you trying to say that you just stood there and watched, without doing anything?
No, you don't understand.
Yes, I do understand every word you spit out of your mouth, every friggin thing. Bruh, you dudette can't even have a damned brain to see that Lynn was needing some shucking help, and you didn't give it to her!
You don't even understand what the shit happened! Rebecca is the friggin head prefect and I can't do anything friggin thing if I don't want to get myself messed up in any shit. Who the shit do you think you are to me!?
If you really don't believe in bullying, you'd put your friggin neck out to help someone who needs your friggin help. You could have helped her before anything serious happened!
Fine. I'm sorry. I dunno whether you, with that damned stubborn brain of yours, will forgive me. For now I can send you the video for you to use.
Fine. Thanks.
After a few seconds, Benrie received the video.
The  video was the perfect proof. The perfect proof for the Benriesan Socialis to use against the three idiots. This was perfect. The video showed Rebecca, Faith Teo, and Caila scribbling on the table. Kai-Xuan had gotten close enough to even get the words that they had written. Benrie was impressed by Kai-Xuan's photography skills though. Mr Fan had to believe this. He had to.

Nut's phone vibrated as she sat on her bed, listening to music as she revised for 听写. She was bored when she lazily checked her phone. She figured it would probably just be one of her friends, like Rachel Quek, texting her. However, she was so wrong. It was Faith... Faith Teo.
I heard from my sources. Whatever you are trying to do, it'll never work so get your bloody nose out of our friggin business. I know EVERYTHING you are trying to do and trust me, it won't friggin work. At. All. If you're smart, you'll join the cause. You are a smart kid. You can join us. You have the potential. You can get revenge. You are like me.
I don't know what the frick you are talking about and you get your bloody nose out of my friggin business.
You don't know who you're messing with. Good luck, you'll need it, you loser wannabe.
I'm not like you, I'm different and I know who I'm messing with. I'm not your wannabe but yes, I agree that you are a bloody loser, Faith  Teo.I'm not like you, I'm different, I'm better. You will regret this.
Oh, you'll be like me. You are as good as me, Your have the potential to be. Just join the cause, hurt Lynn and I guarantee you that you'll be one of the most popular kids.
No thanks.
With that, Nut blocked Faith Teo and exited the chat to go text Lynn.
Lynn, how are you?
Grounded.
I mean, emotionally?
Numb.
Want to chat?
Fine.
I'm bored, you?
Maybe.
Are you okay?
I guess.
Fine.
I mean, I'm okay-ish considering my current situation and all. I'm going to be publicly stripped of my tie and position, Mdm Wun is going to tell the whole school, I will get caned (not public, at least)... and... and Mr Fan... he's trying to... get me...
I'm still here for you. The whole Benriesan Socialis is.
The 'E-word'.
Lynn stayed online but didn't chat anymore. Nut sort of figured that Lynn was crying... again. To be honest, she was in a bad, bad situation. She was P6.  The announcement and caning was enough already. After all, her record was otherwise clean. Expulsion, though, was way too hard on her, it was way too serious. And the upcoming PSLE, she would never do well in it, with everything going on, it hurt her morale.
Nut knew that they needed more time to get her out of trouble. She knew that she had to sabotage her friend to buy time. She had no choice.
Later that day, Nut sent an email to Mr Fan, saying that she had 'seen' some P6 from 6Q snooping in 5P on Friday. Mr Fan, already suspicious and unhappy with must have bought it because Lynn's parents were soon called, saying that Lynn was suspended for a week. Nut smiled sadly, Mr Fan probably suspended her because he would need more time and evidence to expel her.
-------------------------------------------------------------
    "It's not a bloody 'innocent' prank and I'm not being
petty." Mr Fan mumbled to himself as he sorted through his emails.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Lynn sat in her room, weeping bitterly. Why did she have to be suspended!? Well, she thought, on the brightside, I won't have to face anyone when the announcement is made. At least, maybe, she could escape the humiliation. Lynn thought about how her cute little juniors were trying so hard to help and comfort her and forced a smile. She really owed them one but that didn't change anything. Not only was she grounded but she was also suspended and facing expulsion which could not be the least bit good.
"Lynn is grounded! Lynn is grounded! Lynn is grounded!" Her little brother, Rae, hollered, running around the house. "Lynn is grounded! Lynn is grounded!" Jae chimed in, running after his little brother.
Lynn turned to Rynn, her older sister, and muttered, "Little brothers are a pain."
Rynn laughed before commenting, "Point taken but lil' sisters are only slightly less annoying."
"You idiot, Rynn." Lynn paused before yelling loudly. "Rae! Jae! I have candy if you shut the hell up!"
"Bleh! Lynn is grounded!" Rae screamed back. Lynn sighed sadly before continuing her revision for PSLE.
"Revising already?" Rynn asked.
"Sometimes I wonder why I share a bloody room with you, Rynn," Lynn replied, not looking up.
