Restore Your Smile

The End of Truth

"Ja-so .. which we do ..." One-on-one of the members of the Princess Lovers Gang began to stammer with pale faces.

"Pure ignorance to Mr. James without having anything to do with us, the Princess Gang." Priscillia closed their sentences as a conclusion.

James understood it clearly now. The Princess gang did do hazing, but it was limited in their class. That's why it's just a rumor for other students.

The Sharon incident became a lighter that can be witnessed by all students and then misinterpreted by linking the incident with rumors circulating.

As a result, many have joined the Princess Gang to judge teachers, either for personal reasons, such as Lily did at the time, or for solidarity reasons, as the Princess Lovers Gang does now.

"So it's obvious your fault, isn't it, Princess Lovers' gang?" ask James.

"I-yes, Sir. We-we misunderstood you. S-sorry, Sir!" said the five schoolgirls almost simultaneously while bowing repeatedly.

"Your mistakes aren't just misunderstandings! Even if there is no misunderstanding, do you think your behavior is justified?!" James raised his voice so that the five students shrank.

"Look good! Admiring or being a follower of someone is not wrong. But watch what you follow! Would you also be willing to go along if the person you admire acted wickedly or acted foolishly?

Think carefully before you act! Don't be a fool who only glorifies loyalty and solidarity for no apparent reason! That'll make you silly dead someday. Understand?!" James continued his advice.

"Understand, sir," said the fifth.

"Open OSIS, have you got the identity of these five girls?" ask James to Clarissa.

Clarissa excitedly rushed forward to James and said, "Already, Sir!"

"Good! You heard it yourself, right? This time I forgive you, but if it happens again, your parents will be called. Understood?" ask James to Princess Lovers' gang back.

"Me-understand, Sir! Th-thank you, sir!" said the five students. Some of them started to lift their faces and look relieved.

Hearing that, Clarissa inflamed. How could he sincerely let this case be closed with apologies.

"Sorry, Sir. In my opinion, the Princess Gang must also take responsibility, sir. After all, they had already made their underclassmen do bad things from following their behavior. Even if it starts with a misunderstanding, there can't be smoke if there's no fire, right?" clarissa.

"What mak- "Reca was willing to protest immediately, but James immediately gave a silent gesture with his hand, as Priscillia had done.

"Your words are true too, Clarissa. A little bit of this has to do with the Princess Gang. So, what is your responsibility in this, the Princess Gang? Or Priscillia in particular?" james asked with a wry smile at Priscillia and co.

"Why are we the ..." Uncompleted Rebecca spoke, this time replacing Priscillia who swung a silent sign at him.

With a straight look, Priscillia looked at James. Then he returned James's slanted smile with the same smile. Then he turned to Vivian and her friends with flat faces.

Seeing Priscillia approach them, Vivian's heart and comrades thumped. They were happy because they were approaching them, but also afraid because there was no friendly smile Lady Priscillia had seen all this time.

Let alone seeing Priscillia raise her right hand, Vivian instantly closed her eyes. Several pairs of eyes were also tense at the scene, including Clarissa. Is Priscillia going to slap the kid?

But instead of slapping, Priscillia instead patted Vivian's shoulder gently and gave her sweetest smile.

"Thank you for supporting us. But don't do it again, because we don't want it. Honey right, if we lose a good teacher if something like this keeps happening? You guys get it, right?" priscillia.

"Me-understand, Lady Priscillia," said Vivian, supporting her four friends.

James could see Vivian's eyeballs as well as her four friends turning into heart shapes and lope-lope flying around her. Just like it happens in cartoons or animation.

"Good," replied Priscillia. He turned back to face James.

James could only faintly smile at Priscillia's manner. There is no opponent, he thought in his heart.

"Yes, already. We'll suffice it to get here! Don't let it happen again! I think, everyone here should learn a lot from this incident! You understand?" james closed the conversation.

"Understand, Pakkkk!!!" answer the students like a cor.

"But, Sir!" Clarissa began to argue.

"Chairman OF OSIS, never mind .... We stop here, okay? Thank you for your hard work. Give them another chance to improve. Okay?" Replace James who persuaded Clarissa with his sweetest smile.

Clarissa died of lice and could only nod her head.

"thank you. Could you please take Princess Lovers' gang out? There's still something I want to talk to the Princess Gang about" James told Clarissa.

"Good, sir." Clarissa and her two friends immediately took the Princess Lovers Gang out of the room.

Now in the BK room lives James and the Princess Gang. The atmosphere inside again turned serious.

"Sorry to hold you back longer. Maybe Rebecca and Cecilia don't know, but this has something to do with our last conversation, Priscillia. And since this has something to do with them, I think they should hear it too." James started the conversation.

"At that time I could not refute your words, especially after what you experienced with Mr. Saint. But this incident is an example of the effects of hazing that you do. Right now I am still covering it up, as I have no concrete evidence to ensnare you either.

Be careful if you still want to continue your mission! If not me, one day there could be someone who brings evidence and sues your behavior. I hope you can consider your behavior and learn something from this incident." James ended his advice.

"You've confessed, Pris?" ask Rebecca to Priscillia. Priscillia just stood still and nodded her head.

"Yes, your chief has confessed his behavior. So you also have to take care of your attitude, Rebecca!" press James.

"But, it's not just Priscillia's behavior, sir! But we all! Actually, the idea came from me! Everything that happened to you like rope, buckets, eggs, that was all my idea! Priscillia just followed and protected us!" rebecca.

James stunned. A new fact he now knows about Priscillia.

"But anyway, when I'm quiet, it's a sign that I approve of what we're doing, isn't it, Bec?" priscillia said with a smile to Rebecca. Hearing that, Rebecca fell silent.

"alright, Sir. Thanks for the advice. We will consider the advice of the Father carefully. And I, representing the Princess Gang, apologize for our behavior so far to you. Please be kind and do not prolong this matter" Priscillia told James, bowing respectfully to the Japanese.

Seeing their chiefs act this way, Sharon, Cecilia, and Rebecca so followed Priscillia's move, "We're sorry, sir!"

"That's it. Raise your heads! We both learned from this incident" said James who did not feel good to get such treatment.

Just as the bell rang, the second break sign ended.

"No, the bell has rung. Let's go back! Hopefully this time we can work well together, Princesses !" james said with a smile.

"Good, Sir! Excuse us!" exclaiming the four students together while returning James' smile.

James escorted them away while looking at their backs that were getting farther away. After they were no longer visible, James exhaled a sigh of relief.

Eventually everything became clear. It can finally end. May the future be better, God .. James prayed in his heart.
