Chapter 153 - No Need To Forge Stuff
Chapter 153 – No Need To Forge Stuff
I returned to the tool shed and saw that Noah was still hiding there. I was glad that Mason didn't do anything to him. Because if he did, then Mason would be on my list as well.
Noah looked at me cautiously and asked, "E—Em, you're not selling me out, right?"
"What? No! I swear, Noah, I never tell anyone about your secret. I know that you have a dangerous secret, at least for a high schooler like us," I tried to clear up my name. Honestly, if I was in Noah's shoes right now, I would be suspicious as well.
Because I was the only one he told about the secret, even I didn't know how Mason could realize it, "Well, he said it's your mannerism that gives off the aura."
"Really?" Noah asked.
"Eh, I don't think so. Maybe he's just very sensitive about it," I said. "Don't worry, I already talked about it and threatened him never to leak it to anyone."
"And he agrees?" Noah frowned. "That man is Mason Hall, right? He is so famous, even the female sophomore and seniors all fell in love with him. How could you just talk with him and get him to agree?"
Noah's scrutinizing eyes got me nervous all of a sudden. I didn't know how to answer it without sounding ridiculous.
Of course, I couldn't say that Mason Hall had hugged and kissed me. They basically made an indirect confession to me.
Because I knew it sounded way too ridiculous and unbelievable, even I couldn't believe it myself.
"Uhh… basically, I told him that I will help him with his homework, in exchange, he shouldn't tell the secret to anyone because it might really hurt you if everyone in this place knows, right?"
Noah shuddered when he imagined everyone in this school knew about his secret, "W—Well if you say so. I'm sorry for burdening you even more, Em. I'll find a way to compensate you in the future."
"Forget about compensating me, but we seriously need you for our plan. You will be the key," I said.
Noah nodded weakly, but then he asked, "C—Can we talk about this in your Pottery club room instead? I'm dead cold right now…."
"Oh, right, I'm sorry."
"Since the schoolyard was empty, I escorted Noah to the Pottery club room. I turned on the heater, and he took off his jacket.
He sat near the heater to warm himself up, and I gave him a hot tea. It was still class right now, but I had decided to just skip a class and return for the next one.
I didn't really care about the school anyway. There had been many instances of Jessica skipping classes without any repercussion. It was my stupidity to follow the rule too much.
I sat on the seat, staring at Noah, who was still warming himself. I had already closed the door, so nobody would know there was someone in this room right now. I was afraid those bullies might find us.
"Em, what do you want me to do? About this plan, you're talking about…."
"Well, I want you to be the victim, just like what I told you before."
"I know that. I mean, what exactly should I do there? You want me to be a bait, right?"
"Indeed, I want you to wear a mask to hide your face, though. Because we will be doing this after school instead of in the middle of the night, for the clearer record."
"I need you to make Thomas agitated and act rashly, and what's better than threatening him with the sex video."
"Sex video? Don't tell me that you want me to threaten him by sharing our sex video with everyone in school. Then he will definitely get agitated," Noah said.
"Indeed, that's what I want to do," I smiled thin. "And when he is beating you up, the involuntary witness will come, and you know the rest. Elise and I will record everything and share it online, especially with the school public and the police. It'll be sensational, three students beating a female teacher."
"Since you will be wearing a mask, your identity will be hidden. Don't worry about it."
"Actually, I have a mask in my home, Em. And it's not a simple task because it has dirty history," Noah suddenly said.
It sparked my interest, and I asked, "What mask?"
"Uhh, it's a black mask adorned with a fake jewel on the forehead. The mask covers your eyes and cheekbones. Sometimes, Thomas asked me to use it because he said it's hot."
"Oh~ That'll definitely agitate him even more. Please use that as well. With this, our plan has matured. The only problem is with Elise with Miss Brittany Alba right now. I need her to make sure that Miss Alba will come at the right time because she is also the key for this mission's success."
Noah stared at me for a while and then commented, "Wow, Emmy. I will never want to be your enemy, ever."
"I don't plan to be your enemy as well, Noah. I did this to people who deserve it."
**
I decided to allow Noah to stay in the Pottery Club Room for the rest of the day. Since he said he was afraid those bastards, Thomas, Jorge, and Jackson might've camped near his car and ambushed him when he was about to leave.
I agreed on that and went to the last class before finishing school.
I returned to the Pottery Club Room, only to find Noah sleeping on the long bench near the heater. I got that he was pretty cold and exhausted after hiding in that shed for a while.
So I called Elise in the meantime to update her progress. We really needed that progress, especially since I saw the bullying to Noah had worsened.
I was afraid… if we kept dilly-dallying, Thomas and his gang might've killed Noah at that point.
After a few beeps, Elise accepted the call.
__Phone call__
"Hello, Em."
"Elise, how's the process with Miss Brittany Alba," I asked directly. "Noah is with me right now, sleeping after getting super exhausted. He has been hiding in the shed behind the schoolyard for a while, and his body is naturally cold."
"I think we need to accelerate stuff or else, Noah will die for real."
"Yes, I've created a good plan about it, but I still need your confirmation, whether this is a good idea or not," Elise said.
"Tell me."
"I've asked some of my friends, including Mona, about Miss Brittany Alba right now and which man she fancied the most. Turns out, she has the hots for Mason Hall right now."
My breath stiffened the moment I heard about Mason Hall.
"So… she is his fangirl as well?"
"Hmm, not exactly, more like, sexually driven fangirl. Based on some gossip, they heard Miss Brittany Alba saying to another female student how princely and dreamy Mason Hall is, and that… she wants to sleep with him."
"Wait, she said that?! How shameless could she be?!"
"Well, she is always that shameless and horny. But nobody really pays attention to her crazy behavior," Elise sighed. "Well, I'm planning to use her infatuation to lure her. Listen, this infatuation is not the same with her liking some high school boy."
"Miss Alba's infatuation to Mason Hall is so weird. She even said that Mason also had his eyes on her. They're basically going to marry after Mason graduated high school."
"Now that the news about Mason doing a movie had spread around the school, she became even more in love."
"This is very different than her usual. Because she would just dismiss the boy in one or two days after getting interested, but with Mason…."
"I don't know, Em… I feel like her infatuation is caused by Mason Hall actually responding to her chat. Maybe that guy really has the hots for older women."
Mason hall.
He again…
Honestly, I wasn't sure how to react to this. I knew that Mason was popular and handsome, but he could even seduce a teacher, let alone a sophomore teacher…
I had a feeling that Mason Hall took part in this. Maybe he truly seduced Miss Brittany Alba.
But what for? In my previous life, some teachers liked Mason, but Mason turned them all down.
But why was it different now?
"Emmy, are you there?" Elise called me.
"A—Ah, sorry. I was distracted," I said.
"Well, my plan to lure Miss Alba is to fake a letter from Mason Hall to her. Or at least something that will definitely excite Miss Alba," Elise explained. "Then we can use that and lure Miss Alba out."
…
It was a good idea since she was so infatuated with Mason. But…
"I don't think we need to fake anything about him," I said.. "I will ask it from the direct source instead, from Mason Hall."
