I sauntered into the principal's office to apply for the student body president election contest, I scrolled down the tablet to see the list of those I will be competing against.
We happened to be four that filled in for the contest, Shelly, I and two other boys that doesn't seem like a threat to me, cause I'm certain that Shelly will definitely drive them out of the contest in her desperate bid for power.
After filling out the form, I turned to leave when Principal Maurice called me back.
"What's this I'm seeing all over the blog?"
"What?" I asked, pretending not to know what he's talking about while avoiding his cold gaze.
"Don't pretend you don't know what I'm saying!" He yelled, bringing out his phone.
I stared at him, wondering what he's talking about. Principal Maurice logged into the school's app but didn't see anything, he stared blankly at me and stared back at his phone again and a sly smile appeared on my face.
"What's the problem, sir?" I asked innocently.
Principal Maurice stared at me and hesitated for a while, "Nothing, you can leave now." he said and I left happily, leaving him astonished.
I entered the class and saw Shelly and her friends at a corner whispering and laughing and something told me that they were talking about me, but I totally ignored them and went over to my seat.
"Is she really making out with the principal?" one of the student whispered.
"I feel like the blog is true, cause principal Maurice is so fond of her," another student whispered.
"I don't think so, I remember Zen saying sometime ago that the principal was her father's closest friend." someone whispered in defense.
"That's simply a scope to make us believe that nothing is going on between them, wake up!" Another student whispered.
Lisa stared at Diva and i and went back to her phone.
"Just ignore them," I said, turning to Lisa.
"I'm just pretending to be reading, but believe me those whispers of gossip are already getting to my nerves." Diva said, clenching her fist.
"Something tells me that the picture in the blog was captured after her make out with the principal in her desperate bid for power," another voice whispered and that was the last gossip that cracked my nerves.
Lisa jammed her hands on the desk, startling everyone and I walked to the front of the class and the once noisy class went dead silent.
"What? y'all doesn't wanna gossip anymore?" I asked, staring into their already scared eyes.
"C'mon, you can't go silent on me, not after stirring up my curiosity, let's gossip together!" I said, looking around the class.
Shelly stood up and came up to me chuckling.
"What evidence do you have against the anonymous blog?" Shelly asked, twirling herself in front of me.
"What anonymous blog are you talking about? I'm just hearing the dirty rumor from the class, besides if what I heard were so true about me, what business do you have with it?" I asked, and her cheeks reddened.
I turned to the class, "it's so childish of y'all to believe what ever you see on the anonymous blog! if the blog was legit, the poster would have come out clean rather than hiding his or her identity!" I yelled and the students started murmuring.
"Simply say you are in desperate search of the poster!" Shelly said, staring daggers at me and I chuckled.
"Just make sure you don't commit suicide when my payback comes to your doorstep," I whispered into her ears, sending adrenaline to her bones.
I chuckled and went back to my seat, leaving her in shock.
"Are you okay, Shelly?" Zoe asked, coming up to her alongside Chloe.
She stared at them and left the class.
"She can't even stand your presence," Diva said, and we started laughing.
"C'mon! the post has been taken down!" Someone yelled.

I and my friends went over to our lunch table, chatting and laughing together, when Shelly angrily stormed inside the cafeteria and walked up to us.
"I don't know how you did it, but trust me! I must surely kick you out of the contest,"
"Oh! it was really you?" I asked and she froze.
"Fuck me" Shelly muttered.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" She said and left the cafeteria.
"Weirdo!" Lisa said and took a bite from her waffle.
"So Zen, when are you starting your campaign?" Diva asked.
"I will start by throwing a friendly house party tonight," I said, grinning.
"Seriously?!" They asked in unison and I giggled.
"your place, Diva's place or my place?" Lisa asked.
"My place of course!" I said, "My mum and that Damon guy traveled for three days romantic vacation." I said with a tip of disgust.
"Yayyyy!! we are gonna sleep over then!" Diva said, feeling so excited.
"I've missed your place so much," Lisa said, smiling and I chuckled.
I stood up on the Lunch table and cleared my throat.
"Yo! all eyes on me," I said, drawing attention.
"I will be having a friendly house party tonight and y'all are invited! PS: Senior students only! now you can all go back to your boring stuffs." I informed and everyone present at the cafeteria started murmuring.
"Did I hear her say friendly?" someone whispered.
"We all know that, their is nothing friendly about those PQ girls," another voice said.
"It could be a trap" another person said.
"Trap or no trap, I'm going to that party! c'mon girls, this is the PQ girls we are talking about." another girl said.
"Well it will be an honor though, I think I will be present at her party, I mean she said it's a friendly party so their is nothing to be scared of," another voice whispered convincingly.
"House night party, huh?" Derick said, coming up to our lunch table.
"Back off asshole, you ain't invited!" I said, glaring at him.
"PS: senior students only, am I not part of the seniors?" Derick asked, winking at me.
"I've been seeing you frolicking around with that bitch of a girl and guess what? any friends of hers are totally my enemy!" I said and stood up to leave but he dragged me back.
"C'mon darling, don't be jealous, she totally sulks on bed." Derick said and I felt his hot breath on my neck and I felt my cheeks burning.
"I've missed your body so much," he whispered in my ear and caressed my cheeks.
"Hey! back off Derick!" Diva yelled and pushed him away from me.
She glared at him and held my hand as we left the cafeteria, leaving him behind.
