Press Room
The press room went silent again, once all the student went to their own classes after having their weekly meeting for everyone to have at least one report to hand in. Cecile was just doing the last finishing touches, until someone suddenly entered the press without knocking first *creak*
"What is it this time?" Cecile mumbled to herself. She didn't see the person that entered beforehand, and when she did, she sighed loudly
"Can I help you?" Cecile asked condescendingly. It was the Wellston's Jack, Arlo.
"Cecile... what are you doing here?" Arlo asked. She wasn't supposed to step foot to the press ever again since she disobeyed his orders
"Why am I not? John already approved it, so what can you do about it?" Cecile talked back. No fears were detected on Cecile's expression
Arlo couldn't do anything. He clenched his fists knowing that fact. The hierarchy system that he devotes to really does backfire him this time around. Nothing he says gets through to anyone anymore
"...And I was just doing my job bringing unbiased news to people! What about you? You dismissed me just because I was doing my job correctly?"
Cecile was annoyed. She resented his way of leadership recently. It's like he wasn't making any impact to the school anymore, yet still gives orders around
"It's all because of John! Don't you get it?"
"So you've dismissed me from the press out of fear? It's not like I'm exaggerating any news just to bring people down"
She was right. Arlo realized that all Cecile did was just doing her job correctly. News aren't meant to be hidden after all. He loosened up his fists and calmed down
"Right... I'm sorry"
He felt ashamed of himself. He shouldn't have dismissed her. He felt like all his decisions he made up to this point was a mistake. What's more of a mistake was when he decided to betray John
John was all genuine about becoming friends with him. They could've gotten along with each other easily, and none of this would've happened in the first place
"Huh?" Cecile was dumbfounded. She didn't believe that Arlo would just give in to her words so easily. Arlo turned around, and quietly left the press
