The Puppeteer

The Agreement

The Agreement

Feb 23, 2021

The class was a blur all I remember was the belling ringing for me to leave. But that didn't end my worries since I had another class to attend and I had the books I need in my locker. I felt as tho, those papers were taunting me, "Cleo come look at us... Cleo we have a surprise for you.. Cleo... Cleo. Cleo!!!", I just slam my locker and walk away. 

 As I am heading to my next class I feel the air around me get heavy. I lift my head to see what was going on and everyone was looking at me. I pause and stare right back at them with an Uhh, can I help you? look on my face until the bell rang. They all head to their classes after and so did I. 

 While in this class all I could think about is the immense stress that is coming because I took those papers. I bet the kids staring at me in the hallway knew that too it's as if I stared a chou in an unknown land. With my elbow on the desk and hands linked in front of my nose, I notice the board has a mistake. I unconsciously stand up and make my way to the board and correct the mistake. The class goes silent and stares at me. When I finish and return to my seat they're still staring. 

 The teacher then says "Ms smith what seems to be the problem?"

I look at her and my classmates confused, "Uhh there was a mistake... and I corrected it.". 

Voice in the back of the class "Who said you could correct it?", I turn around and began to stutter "I.. i- no one" sigh. I then face towards the front and the teacher goes, 

"I get that you were homeschooled but that's not how we do things here. If there is a problem on the board we tell the class teacher.. me and highlight the problem. Children are not allowed to take matters into their own hands here. Do you understand?" I couldn't believe this woman. 

 So I just smile and say, "Noted!" and she smiles back. 

 The girl in back then goes "Welcome to the real world!" I turn around and go "Thank you!".

 Class ends and as I'm packing up to go to my locker and a person decides to stand behind me. When I turn around it the girl from earlier who welcomed me. 

I flinch and say "Hi!" she says nothing for a few seconds then walks up to me. 

"If you wanna be the next student council president you will have to take the current one down. I will help you all I need is one favor.". 

I reply, 

"and that is?".

She smiles,

"A position on your student council.".

I was considering it but I decided to ask her,

"Why and how would you help me? We are both freshmen you know as much as I know about the student council.".

She nods,

"But I mean if the president is your sister you'd know more plus I can be lots of help I have dirt on all of the upperclassmen they all folk our home.".

 I was in the middle on this offer she could be my ace in the hole or my downfall, I mean blood is thicker than water right? I want to test her to see if it was a trap but if it was they would immediately know that I was after something other than that position. Testing her would make me seem insecure about something or like I was hiding something. I'm just a freshman, what reason do I have to be skeptical about this offer? If this was planned it was ingenious but if not I could be in the clear so I kept my enemy close. 

 "Why would you betray your sister like that?"I asked.

"Sister..."

She replies in a high pitched tone bursting into tears,

"That b!tch and her mother took my father away from me!"

I hug her and say while looking into her eyes and rubbing her shoulder,

"We will have our revenge and it will be the sweetest, trust me with your life and I will deliver. I promise." 

 She looks at me confused but agrees because what humans want more than love is revenge. That's easier to get anyway.

Being homeschooled is great and all but sometimes we just want a little more excitement and Cleo didn't hesitate to claim hers. She had a few stepping stones and did some regrettable things. Hurt lots of people friends and family. Do you think she went too far or was what she did unnecessary? Let's find out
