CHAPTER-12 A NEW BEGINNING.

*not edited*

"I'll move into your place,Tyler and I packed last night after you passed out.....Your father might not be alive but You still have me and Tyler I suppose."What the???Hey universe You always like this or....You first hurt and then heal no wonder people are confused of you.But a small ray of hope developed as a certain warmth filled my heart.I wasn't alone.I had Peter and Tyler.A ghost of a smile spread across my face."Let's get moving then."I said with a hint of happiness.I cann't express my happiness in words.I was going to have Peter as my legal gaurdian and Tyler was my first friend after Blake.I still had a hollowness in my heart for my father.It'll take time for me to get used to the fact that He was gone and that I couldn't see his cheerful smile again in my life time but I had to make my peace with it.And I would just not now.....Sooner or later.Maybe a few years later I'd get used to it but for now I was going to go With life.Just flow and not question anything.After quiet some time we reached my house and Tyler hung around to help me set up Peter's new room.Later we ended our night with Avengers:Age of Ultron and some Pizza made by chef Peter himself.The boys fell asleep which meant I had to clean up.The pain and loss hit me now that I was all alone in my room.He was gone.Just like that.Why do the people we love have to die before us?Cann't we die before them to escape the pain.Its so excruciating and unbearable.I did have Peter and Tyler but none of them could replace my father.NONE.He was one of a kind.And I loved him more than anything.He was my dad,The man who held me when my mom died and when Blake died.He was supposed to be there for life.He promised me he would be there for me forever.Why dad?Why?What did I do to deserve this?Did I not deserve happiness?Or even a little right to smile? I lost Blake,my mom and now even my father....How could he be so careless?How?The painful knots in my chest started to settle in as a few tears sneaked out of my eyes.I mean did I really deserve this?Maybe who knows what the universe is playing at?I looked up at the starry night sky out of the window and saw a few stars gimmering brightly."I hope you have peace dad.I can take care of myself."I whispered under my breadth.I sensed the warmth of sunlight on my arms after some time.It felt like seconds but the night had passed the day arrived like how it promises to.I have a new start.A new beginning.And I still have a few people I can call my own.I finally had something I never had.HOPE.The most powerful boon to humanity.The one that came out of Pandora's box when she opened it the second time.Yeah it still hurt but I knew time would heal this scar.I started to get ready to rule the day and get my life back under MY control.I had to prove Chris he couldn't hurt me anymore.Wait and Watch.A bitch is in the making.I enetered the kitchen only to see "Pancakes!"I exclaimed.Did I mention that Peter was the best chef I knew in the universe.I mean it.The man could even make a delicious meal out of Garbage."Morning to you too cupcake."He greeted.He was back.My old Peter was back."Good morning Em."Tyler said still half sleepy."Morning Princess."The pancake just melted in my mouth as butter oozed it with flavour.If you didn't notice then let me tell you that I love Pancakes."How come your parents are okay with you not being home?"I asked Tyler.Not being rude just curious."They run a group of industires which requires them to travel a lot.So they're rarely ever home.Only on special ocassions they visit me like my birthday or christmas.They love what they do and I don't hate them for it.They're humans after all.And I usually hang out at Jake's house so it doesn't get lonely.""Well your welcome here anytime and can even saty for the night.""Yeah that helps me keep an eye on you."Peter interjected.I rolled my eyes as I completed the reat of my pancakes.As I started to leave for school with Tyler,"I'm dropping the two of you today."Peter spoke up.The two of groaned."We aren't 5 year olds you know.""Yeah even they have more sense than the two of you.Two or maybe wooden planks would be a prefered term."Peter retorted as I narrowed my eyes.Quick brain come up with something sarcastic.What would Chandler say?Nothing.Absolutely nothing.See the problem."Okay fine."I gave in grudgingly.Peter seemed pretty pleased with himself.Laugh all you want I swear next time I'll destroy you,after I figure out what's wrong with my brain.We drove to school in a comfortable silence and now was the first time I observed what Peter was wearing,sorry but when it comes to pancakes That's only what I see.He wasn't in casual wear bur was in his fromal attire and had a clean shave.What the?"Why are you dressed like that?"Tyler voiced my thoughts."I got a job.""What job?""You'll see."I didn't feel good about it.Code red I repeat code red.But before I could act on it we reached school.Okay I go to school and then take a flight to Russia and my new name would be Falisha.It had a nice ring to it.That's the plan.Peter would surely have bagged a Job in an influential position which meant he'd have absolute power.I could sense and hence the plan.Although I don't think Russia would be far enough.Maybe another planet? "Okay bye Peter. Good luck."I said.He didn't need it.The people who worked under him did.Those poor souls.Don't get me wrong, Peter is great and I love him but I would never work for him.One mistake and you're done.There's no forgive and forget policy when it comes to work for Peter. I remember how grown men would cry 'cuz Peter would squash you like a bug if things didn't go well.They have to be perfect for him."Bye have fun the both of you."Peter replied back."Okay."Tyler replied."What's up with him.BPD or something?"He whispered towards me. I shrugged in response.I honestly didn't know either.We entered the school only to find the hallways to be completely empty.What happened?Where did everyone one disappear?Apparently Tyler was wondering the same too.He was usually greeted with cheers and flying kisses not glares like me.I looked towards the notice board to see that there was a notice that instructed all the students to gather at the Gym.We did as we were told.Everyone was there and there was anxiety and confusion that was settled in the air as no one seemed to know what was happening.Everyone except the staff members as they tensed,something was bad but what was it?Tyler and I took seats towards the front as I was Chris's 'girlfriend' I was obliged to and Tyler sat between me and Jake to wards my left as Chris was to my right."Where were you?I checked your house but you weren't there?"Jake questioned Tyler with a hint of worry."Long story.I'll tell you later."He replied hurriedly as Lindsay The student body president came forward to address a bunch of confused and anxious teens."Good morning Ridgewood high.Today we have a very special announcement and a huge change as there will be a new addition to our school."Everyone started whispering."We are having a new principal for our school who hopes to change a few things up."I feel something happening My brain was trying but it was stuck on the tip of my tongue."Let's welcome Principal Peter James Beckett."Tyler and I looked at each other in shock.He mouthed the words 'Oh my God'.What the hell?We turned to see as the entire crowd fell silent as Peter stood in front of the mike.He emitted an aura of Power and Will which scared almost everyone."Good Morning Ridgewood High."He started with absolute confidence and professionalism. His voice dangerously calm.This was Peter James Beckett from two years ago.I'm so runnig away now."As your president has already briefed,I will be your Principal from today.I am a former Politician and Business man,so nothing can scare me nor can anyone bribe or blackmail me like they did to your previous principal."he said steely eyed and cold.He stated the facts,everyone knew that Principle Mollins was bribed and blackmailed by Chris and his parents.But Peter wasn't an easy win.He had morale and also was hard to scare.I gulped as I knew what his next words would be."I do not and will not tolerate any one who breaks the rules.Anyone who does not follow decorum and maintain decency will not be given a chance to be a part of this institution.Immediate action will be taken against them.Survaillance cameras have been installed and teachers have been given power and authority to with troublemakers.No indecent actions will be tolerated on this grounds.Bullying especially will be treated with atmost scrunity.Any kind of threats to anyone,or physical complications will result in immediate expulsion.I value discipline and expect everything to be in order,if proven otherwise,consequences will be dire and no special treatment."Chris rolled his eyes."They all start like this.....and then fall for the money or try to maintain a good image."Jake said with annoyance.If only they knew Peter like I did.Only his son's death broke him nothing else.Oh this was gonna be bad and not for Peter but for the other two idiots."Is there anything you'd like to share Mr.Dawson and Mr.Shaw?"Peter questioned Jake and Chris.Uh-oh.I can sense this going south."I'm sure the entire school would want to know why you weren't paying attention."He stated coldly.I could feel the ice but that didn't keep Jake quiet."Yeah I have one question.....""You can adress me as 'sir' or 'principal Beckett' Mr.Shaw."The entire Gym grew shocked no one had ever interrupted Jake or Chris or Tyler ever,Principal mollins would just run away.But this was Peter."Yes sir,I just wanted to ask how are you any better from Mollins?"This seemed to pipe up discussion from all the students as they wondered if he was really a saviour or just pretending to be one.Everyone expected Peter to pop or cower but he didn't.He wouldn't be thrown of by one stupid question."That brings me to what I was about to discuss.Patience is virtue Mr.Shaw,So sit down."he responded calmly."A few students have taken advantage of power that they do not own rightfully in the presence of Mr.Mollins but thankfully I have records that prove against those students.They will, after my speech, wait in my cabin as they will be dealt with proper measures and authority.That includes you Mr.Shaw, and Mr.Dawson."Jake was confused and so was I why not Tyler?"Mr Anderson will meet me after lunch."He instructed.Ah divide and rule."There will be Regular checks in classrooms to see if the teaching standards meet my expectation.If not the teacher will be terminated after two warnings.A counseller office has been arranged,feel free to drop in and discuss any issues.Also an anti-bullying committe has been set up,there will be constant checking so as to avoid any incurable circumstances.Under age smoking,drinking or any kind of substance abuse will not be accepted,consequences of such actions will be severe."I could sense suprise,happiness and fear from the crowd."Now on the brighter side of things,The school cafeteria will be serving quality food which doesn't drip with grease.There will be 24-hour access to the school library,locker rooms and all sports grounds."There were a lot of smiles."Along with that it will be made compulsury for all of you to take up a club activity in order for all round developement.As for all the teachers they will be given a raise and will be granted paid leaves."His infamous reward trick.Gets the best of people.Why am I not surprised?"To a great year of change for Ridgewood High."He concluded and many burst in applause.Everyone dispersed with hope for change.Peter knew how to woo a crowd."How'd I do cupcake?"Peter asked now standing next to me as I was one the last people to leave."You did great."I said giving a mock bow."Thank you."he said smiling.Even Tyler seemed to be surprised.

"You really are a tough nut to crack aren't you."

"Yeah I am. I'll leave you two to it. Now get to class."

He ordered.Told ya no exceptions.Now about that plane ticket.

I reached class just before the school bell rang.I had Biology.ugh.It's not a bad subject I personally had no interest in it.Nothing too significant happened after that except for Peter's new rules being instituted.This is the reason we need men like him in politics.He knows what he's doing.By lunch it seemed as though Peter was liked by everyone except the populars of course as they were his number one target.Jessica couldn't cope with the new changes.The worst rule being 'Every one is equal.' Usually the cheer team used to grab most of the school's funds hence the cheerleaders had a lot of money to buy designer clothes.But with Peter in charge all sport teams got an equal share and equal amount of equipment,which meant that even maths and science clubs along with dance clubs got a good amount of the funds.For lunch we had 6 different typres of pizza to choose from and also had a side pasta,which only increased Peter's popularity and it didn't stop at that he also installed a dessert shop.I already know where I'm spending my money.He also got the courtyard cleaned and got a few tables placed there so we could eat our lunch there if we wanted to.Most of the toilets were fixed and even the teachers lounge had an upgrade.So everyone was happy except for the popular gang."Who the hell does he think he is?I mean what am I going to do without the funds.I can't desirable if I don't have designer clothes."Jessica whined.Ouch.Her whole life revolved around her appearance and guys.Damn what a lonely life.Chris and Jake were no where to be seen.It would soon be Tyler's turn.I was worried.My god.At the end of the day I met up with Tyler near my car."So what did he say?"I asked."Nothing major when compared to Chris and Jake.I'm benched for the first 3 games of the season and have detention for half a month as I was never directly involved more of a behind the scenes. Something about staying silent is also a crime.Detention starts from tomorrow.But Chris has it the worst I believe.""What about him exactly?""You'd rather here it from me cupcake.But it will discussed on the way."I froze for a second as I heard Peter's voice.God damn it.We got into the car and Peter started,"Jake is benched for half of the season.He will be doing community service till the term ends and has detention that extends till next term.Temporary suspension of two days and a solid warning with therapy seasons to be attended 5 times a month to cope with depression and loss.Chris on the other hand has been given more severe punishments.""How bad?""Not the worst but reasonable cupcake.Benched until the final game.Community service for two terms at the hospital his mother works in.Detention for 6 months.Therapy for a year with 7 sessions and also a week of suspension.""Not too bad is it?"I questioned sarcastically."Cupcake I told you I'm taking matters into my hands and it wasn't only you he tormented that kid's got serious issues and he has to be dealt with to give the others a better life.I understand he's in pain but he has to face the consequences of his actions or else he'll feel entitled to do more.""What if he doesn't stop?""He will.Soon enough he will change for the better." ***********END OF CHAPTER-12**************
