Chapter 30 - Showtime

The gymnasium was fully packed with teachers and students swarming the massive room. It was also noisy with the music blaring in the background. People were constantly talking over each other, and the barrage of footsteps of people walking to the bleacher stands created even more noise.

Riley could see across the room that all of the cheerleaders were preparing their routine at the near back. His eyes landed on the woman that was trying to destroy everything he cared about, and Riley was going to at least try to stop Olivia's reign of terror.

Olivia was plugging her phone into the computer system that the tech students were setting up. Riley looked above her, and he could see the projector's display on the massive screen that covered half of the wall.

Riley stormed over to Olivia to get her to try and stop. But he was intercepted when someone blocked the path in between them.

"Can I help you?" Justin sarcastically smiled.

"Move." Riley demanded, he didn't have any time to waste and his urgency proved this.

"Olivia!" Justin giggled, "Someone wants to see you!"

Olivia looked away from her phone and looked towards Justin. When she saw Riley, she smiled like a Cheshire Cat. "How great to see you Riley! You're just in time to see the show we prepared!"

Riley looked between both all confused, he never realised that they even knew each other. "We? What do you have to do with this Justin?"

"I overheard Olivia planning her little scheme, and I wanted to help!" Justin walked to Olivia's side and crossed his arms over his chest - matching Olivia's stance. "I jumped at the chance because you messed with me too many times."

"We made out twice!" Riley screamed, completely baffled at Justin's delusional thinking. "You're doing all of this because I wouldn't have sex with you?!"

"You had this coming." Justin said whilst lightly shrugging his shoulders.

Justin then turned to Olivia and asked if it was all ready. With a small nod, Riley then grew wary about what they were doing, and what they had set up with the projector.

"Just a little presentation," Olivia laughed. "And there's a fun little video too."

Justin spoke up with a creepy smile, and a suggestive tone in his voice. "I watched the video that Olivia is planning to show everyone. And I've got to say, you looked pretty steamy with Jessie in the locker room earlier."

Riley's mouth was agape as he learnt how Olivia was planning to expose him in front of the whole school in a couple of minutes. He was panicking because it felt like the universe was seemingly against him today.

Jessie practically broke up with him before they could truly get anywhere, the two people in front of him were set on ruining his life, and Riley didn't know what he could do about any of it.

But even though it seemed like they weren't together anymore, Riley was determined to protect Jessie until the end.

"Don't you fucking dare!" Riley cursed under his breath, as his anger was visibly boiling over, "Stop this pathetic vendetta right now!"

The sound of their unified cackle sent shivers down Riley's spine. Olivia ignored Riley and turned towards Principal Shepard, telling her that they were all set up and ready to start.

Principal Shepard knew that Riley wasn't involved in either the pep rally or the upcoming presentation, and so she sent Riley away. "Take your seat, Riley."

"You can't let her show that presentation!" Riley shouted, as he then felt himself get pushed away.

Principal Shepard sneered as she was shocked that Riley would want to stop this presentation. "I've seen Olivia's lovely slideshow, that praises every single player on the team. Why on Earth would I stop her?"
