Chapter IX - Crying SoulsAfter John and his friends got threatened for getting expelled, the situation totally changed at Jupiter High. For the first time in two years, no panty shots were been taken, no skirts were being blown up, no legs were being kissed, no breasts were being fondled. Jupiter High turned into an ordinary school so it seemed. However, that was a false statement.
A shouting from a male student was heard through the hallways. Rico who heard it rushed over and faced the situation he and his friends were fearing. It was Avelia who was holding down the student against the floor. ?Hey, you dirty person dare to touch my body?? she said while stepping with more weight on his body. ?I?ll let you feel despair you little shit.?
All the other students around didn?t do anything. They just watched the situation in silence. But one male student stepped forward: ?Jake, I?ll save you.?
?No Mike, don?t.?
But poor Mike already leaped forward trying to push Avelia off him. But his hands never reached Avelia as they got blocked by Amy?s wooden sword. She glared into his eyes and instilled him with fear. Mike started shaking and shivering. He slowly stepped backwards but Amy raised her sword and slashed into him. Everybody around thought he got killed or something until Mike opened his eyes and looked at Amy: ?A feign attack?? But then his cloths ripped into hundreds of pieces, only his underwear remained. The female students, as bystanders, started screaming and covering their eyes or looking away. Mike felt embarrassed as he quickly hold his bag in front of him and fled to the nearest toilets.
Amy looked up at Rico and gave him a smile, slowly stepping towards him while waving the sword around. Rico knew he was unable to go against her in any form. He would get sued of sexual harassing as a lie and end up being expelled from school. Without a hesitating for a moment, he fled without being able to do a thing.
?How cruel.? A random female student said.
?The Red Rose ran away like a mouse.? Some random male student said and started laughing along with several other male students.
On a different time and location, the same incident happened to Mack. He was in the middle of his rapping with a group of male students when they got ambushed by Shimuka and few other girls who was under her command. Even Mack had to flee with his tough appearance. The entire Smooth Gentlemen reputation started crumbling little by little while the Venus High girls were slowly taking over the school with their forceful ruling.
***
Several days later, after more of these incidents the four Gentlemen came together in the park to discuss the situation. The incidents even caused damage on their friendship, turning them slowly hostile against each other.
?Listen John.? Leo said in anger: ?You have been continuously telling us to swallow it, keep it cool, don?t say or do anything but I had it with you man!? But John didn?t reply, he kept staring at the slide ahead where a few children were playing. Leo got pissed by his silence and grabbed him by his collar. ?Look at me when I am speaking to you, you perverted Butler.?
Yet again he didn?t reply which caused Leo punch him in his face. John fell backwards on the floor, not moving any muscles. Mack and Leo parted the meeting, as they thought it was useless to hang around. However Rico remained around. He was hanging over the bars: ?A friend deals another friend a blow I see.? He said.
?Can?t help it Rico, we have been knowing each other too long. And now a bunch of girls are trying to break it all.?
Rico reached for pocket, pulled out the digital recorder he got from the principal?s office and threw it over at John.
John shifted his eyes towards and picked it up: ?What?s this??
?During our examination in the principal?s room, I found this under his desk. A strange location to keep a digital recorder if you ask me.?
?It looks like an ordinary music player. But wait a minute.? He turned the device around and noticed a small memory card in it. He activated the device and noticed an entire list file of files, all named as dates.
?Rico, you need to see this man.?
Rico jumped over and looked at the screen and also noticed the file list: ?These look like daily logs or something.?
John selected a random file and played it. There was first silence when they heard a door open. Footsteps approached the desk and a voice spoke. They immediately recognized the voice. It was Mr. Hopkins? voice. They spoke about daily activities in the school, grades, organization and so on.
?So the principal is keeping a log of his life?? Rico asked.
John then played another random file. Again they first heard a door and then a conversation. Playing back other files resulted in the same pattern. Always the door opening first.
?Hey John, go back to the date before the principal got in the hospital.?
He browsed through the list and found that day. They looked at the length of the file, it was an hour. Listening to that entirely is not an option, so they decided to listen to the last ten minutes as the incident supposing happened before he went home.
First they heard the door opening again.

?Who, what are you.?
A sound of being hit on a body part and a person falling.

?Let?s quickly move him.? A female voice said.
?Yes.? A different female voice answered. ?Now I can begin to execute my plan.?
?Understood.? The first female said again.
This was the end of the recording. John and Rico looked at each other puzzled. They couldn?t recognize the two voices.
?Hey that didn?t? sound as any of the Venus High girls.? Rico concluded.
?Neither it was the voice of Miss Layla Rivers. What is going on here??
John stood up and started walking home. Rico shouted behind him where he was going. All he replied back he had a plan for tomorrow after school which required for him to handle it alone.
***
The next day, John started stalking one of the Venus High girls. School was over and most students were going home. Semi thanks to the quarrel between Leo, Mack, John and Rico, he had the chance to go undercover. Nobody would notice him going.
He was lucky as the girl left alone through the gates of the school. John followed her all the way to her home. It seemed she lived in a temporarily location which was a student dorm. He wondered if the other Venus High girls were also staying here. Especially Melisa, Amy, Shimuka or Avelia. That would possibly mean to return here another time to investigate their rooms. But right now the focus was on this girl. She opened the front door of her room and at that moment John dashed over, pushed the girl inside and shut the door. Before the girl could scream he got behind her and covered her mouth. It seemed she was living here on her own, or her roommate hasn?t arrived yet.
?Forgive me miss but I have to do this for justice.? He said and grabbed with one hand her chest and used his usual act on a female. The girl got aroused and John slowly removed his hand which was covering her mouth. The girl started panting, but unable to resist or scream for help.
?Now then Miss, what is your name?? He started to ask.
?P-patricia.?
?Miss Patricia, who is your principal at Venus High.?
She didn?t respond, so John gave a few more squeezes. She begged to stop and said she couldn?t give any names away. But John was not pleased with that answer. He was already taking a huge risk so it was now or never to discover who was the mastermind behind all this.
?I am asking you again miss, else I might have to slip accidentally with my hand somewhere else. The girl still didn?t respond but was panting due to being aroused. John had overdone his act he realized.
Then the front door opened and a girl appeared. ?Patricia?! AH It?s you, that Butler.? She shouted and ran away.
?Shit, I got discovered.? He quickly looked around if he could bring something along but there was no evidence or anything.
Not long after Avelia appeared with Amy at the front door.
?Uh oh?
?Good evening Mr. Butler.? Avelia said while launching a full thrust forward with her fist. John could barely avoid it by ducking quickly. The punch impact on a cupboard which caused the thing to implode.
?Holy shit. You are one dangerous girl, Miss Verezis.? He noted and slipped away towards the door. But the wooden sword of Amy came in flying, and again he barely avoided it by rolling quickly over the floor, under the skirt of Amy past the door.
Amy looked quickly behind her in anger as John raised his thumb: ?Nice butt.? But there was no time to admire any of that as Avelia was already dashing over. He leaped over the stairway and took a quick jump down. Hell fell at least two meters, making a quick roll to break his fall and dashing away.
Avelia smacked the door in anger: ?Shit we he got away, that bastard. What shall we do??
?Nothing.? Amy replied back: ?Tommorow everything will be concluded. Melisa told us to prepare.?
Avelia smiled upon hearing those last words and cracked her knuckles: ?Oh I am going to enjoy kicking their ass.?
***
At the principal?s office, Miss Layla entered the room to dial a phone number.
?Layla here. Everything is set for tomorrow.?
?I?ll be making my entrance tomorrow.? The voice on the other side said and started chuckling but eventually bursting out in laughter.
