Mrs. Browns were very assuring that it gave the girl the feeling of being protected. It was a nice feeling to have, how she wishes to have this feeling every day. So she could feel more relaxed.
With the help of Mrs. Brown's reassuring words, the girl gathered all her courage and said, "Y-yes! Someone has been threatening us, Mrs. Brown." After saying that tears were flowing out of her eyes. It was as if those words are the words that she needed to get rid of her chest.
Finally, after saying those words out loud and knowing that someone listened to her saying that made her feel relieved and very happy.
On the inside, this made the principal very happy too. "Child, tell me who threatened all of you?" She asked.
The teacher, on the other hand, was getting more and more nervous as time passes by. The girl that she threatened is gathering all her courage to tell the principal of what she had done to them. If this goes on the teacher will surely lose everything that she worked hard for in the years she works in this school.
She wants to stop the girl from telling the truth, but if she tries to stop her, Mrs. Brown will be suspicious of her. Moreover, if she let the girl speak the truth, she will get in trouble either way. Either the teacher does something or not, there is no way for her to escape from this situation.
The five students all looked at the teacher's direction with full of hate and disgust in their eyes. "It's her. It was she who threatened us." The girl said.
"Lies!" The teacher shouted. The girl flinches at the loudness of the teacher's voice. "How dare you accuse me of something like that!" No, she won't let things end up her losing. No, she won't.
On the sideline, Anna laughed very coldly. The people in the room heard her laughed, that laughter of hers sends shivers into their spines.
"Dearest brother, did you hear what I just heard?" Anna said in a very playful way. At the same time, it was scary to hear. No normal human being would like to hear such a voice. It might even give a nightmare to someone.
"Of course, dearest sister, I heard it too. How ironic if you ask me." Aaron chuckled. The way the others see Anna and Aaron right now is as if they have a world of their own. They don't care if others are being serious or not. The only thing that matters to them is each other.
"How shameless of you, teacher denying the truth when all your dirty secret is out in the open." Anna put a hand on her cheeks as if she was contemplating on how should she deal with the teacher.
The teacher furiously stared at the twins. "You and your twin brother are framing me! You cunning twins!" The teacher huffed in anger. "Using my students to go against me?! How dare you both!" The teacher doesn't care anymore; the only thing she could think of now is pushing all of this to the twins.
"Using them? Hmm, you could say it like that but hey! It also did some good in them, don't you think so?" Aaron said as he turns his head towards the girl's direction.
Aaron smiled at her and the girl blush. She can't believe that Aaron Coleman smiled at her. It's one of the girls' dreams in this school, to at least have Aaron smiled at them. Who would have thought that she would be one of those few lucky girls?
Slowly the girl nodded, "Y-yes."
The teacher can't take it any of this anymore. She angrily marched to towards the twins and was about to put a hand on them. Luckily the principal was quick and gripped her wrist very tightly. "You dare to raise your hand on one of the students here in this school?!"
If the teacher is angry, then the one who is more enrage than she is is the principal. "Mrs. Brown, all of this is a huge misunderstanding. The twins are framing me. They are trying to ruin my image here in this school. Please, you have to believe me."
The teacher pitifully cried and knelt in front of Mrs. Brown. The principal only stared at her in disdain. How dare she cries when she is the one who causes a lot of pain towards those students. "Miss, there is nothing you can do. Everything that you did is already out." The teacher gritted her teeth as tears were still falling from her eyes. "Please pack up your things. I don't wanna ever see you here inside this school."
The principal's last words were like a fatal blow on her face. No, that can't be, she must have misheard the principal.
The teacher looked at the principal; she saw that the principal was firm in her words. She did not mishear what the principal just said. It was loud and clear, even Anna and the others heard it very clearly.
Everything that she had done for during the years of working in Crystal High, all of it has gone in waste.
She can't get another job to another school because of this. Crystal High is very famous among other schools. Crystal High also had high standards when it comes to recruiting teachers. So if a teacher lost its job in Crystal High, it also means that the teacher is not capable of teaching. In other words, for the teacher's situation, she can't get a job to any other schools.
Anna and Aaron know that too, they have done their research after all. At first, the twins did not want to make the teacher disappear from the school. But after seeing the video, they decided to make her life miserable.

The only people who are left here in the principal's office is the twins, the three childhood friends, Lannie, and the principal herself. They are all silent have a thought of their own.
"The show is done. Can I go now? I'm missing all of my classes if I stay here any longer?" Josh said in a bored tone.
"No, not yet. I still need to tell you the punishment you all deserve." Mrs. Brown said with a smile on her face yet that smile was not a smile at all.
"Huh? What do you mean by that? We are the one who is being mistreated by that teacher. Why are we the who's going to get punished?" Anna said. She felt that everything that she and her brother did was all for nothing if they get punished.
"I know, but you guys broke one of our school rules. No matter what, students should always respect their teachers." The mood that the young ones were feeling had gone way down because of what Mrs. Brown just said.
For some reason, they felt betrayed.
