My acceptance letter arrived in August. My name was printed on it in gilded, embossed lettering. Major: "Law."

Terence called me to ask why I had applied for this major. Computer science was where the money was at.

  • Mom's Miscarriage Started a School Riot   Chapter 9

    My acceptance letter arrived in August. My name was printed on it in gilded, embossed lettering. Major: "Law." Terence called me to ask why I had applied for this major. Computer science was where the money was at.I told him this major allowed me to take people to court.He froze for a moment before commenting, "Damn, you really don't let shit go, do you?"…The cafeteria we trashed had been demolished. The new cafeteria was spotless and brightly lit, with food prices displayed out in the open. Mom would occasionally sit there, watching the students line up to get their meals. Her belly was still flat, but she said that once my affairs were settled, she wanted to have another baby.…The weather was beautiful on orientation day. I walked through the gates and never looked back. During my first semester, a photo from last June was taped inside the front cover of my notebook. My phone rang after class. It was Keena. Leon was sentenced to seven years in prison. Mr. Fletch

  • Mom's Miscarriage Started a School Riot   Chapter 8

    That journalist returned in late May. Her name was Keena Watson. She worked for the provincial newspaper, and she had been the first to cover the story. "Nathan, the city is going to award your school a 'Model School for Campus Food Safety' plaque." I chuckled. "Ironic, isn't it?"Keena chuckled as well. "It is pretty ironic." Then, she asked me about the whole story, and I told her everything I could. When we got to the part about Mom's miscarriage, she closed her notebook. "Is it alright if I publish this?""Yeah.""Why did you organize your classmates to trash the cafeteria?" she inquired. "You know that could have been classified as public disturbance.""I didn't think that far ahead back then.""What was going through your head then?""My mom, lying on the ground."The article was published under the headline "A High School Senior's Cafeteria Revolt." The comment section erupted into another debate. Several netizens called me a hero; some claimed I was a rioter wh

    That afternoon, representatives from both the local television and the provincial newspaper arrived. Journalists swarmed the school entrance, surrounding Mr. Fletcher, who looked pale and grim. "Was the school aware of the cafeteria's food safety issues?""Who made the decision to dismiss Ms. Dunn?""Did the school accept any benefits or kickbacks from the cafeteria contractor?"Mr. Fletcher parted his lips, but his voice was drowned out by the microphones. One couldn't make out a single word he said. I slipped into the hospital through the side entrance and avoided the cameras. Mom's ward was with visitors. Her students, colleagues, and even strangers brought flowers, fruit, and gifts. Scarlett was holding a notebook filled with a petition signed by students from across the entire school. "Please reinstate Ms. Dunn." More than a thousand students had signed it. Looking at the notebook, Mom burst into tears. She seldom cried, but she bawled her eyes out that day. Dad

    Leon forced himself up from the shattered glass, pointing a finger at the crowd. "Just you wait. I have connections in the Department of Education!"The moment the words left his mouth, a voice echoed from outside the crowd. "Who is it that has connections in the Department of Education?"The crowd went radio silent.A middle-aged man in a white shirt walked over. He wore glasses, and his expression was incredibly stern. Mr. Fletcher's expression changed dramatically. "Mr. Black—"Kendrick Black, the Deputy Secretary of Education, didn't spare him as much as a glance. He drank in the state of the cafeteria before shifting his gaze to Leon. In the end, he looked at me. "What's your name?""Nathan.""Did you organize all of this?""Yes."He fell silent for a moment. "Are you aware of the legal consequences of inciting a riot like this?""Yes.""Why did you do it then?"I held his gaze. "Because my mom was lying at the stall that was smashed at this school, bleeding and beggi

    As soon as the clock struck 12:00 pm, a massive crowd gathered at the entrance of the cafeteria. It wasn't just the 12th-grade students. Students from the two grades below had also come. Some of them had been rallied by Terence, while others had come of their own accord. The cafeteria lady had locked the doors, and Leon could be heard cursing up a storm inside. "What's the meaning of this, Nathan?" The dean of students stood on the steps, his face flushed crimson. I paid him no mind. I stood before the crowd, still clutching that single egg. "I'm not here for lunch today. I'm here to settle the score!"The first egg was thrown by me. It smashed against the glass door of the cafeteria, the yolk and white oozing down the pane. Then came the second one and the third. Eggs pelted the building like sheets of rain. One of the glass doors shattered. "You've all lost your minds," he snarled. "I'm calling the cops!"No one gave a damn about him.Terence charged out of the crowd

    At 5:00 am, I returned to Mom's ward. She had come to. When she heard footsteps, she turned her head. "Nat.""Mom." I sat down on the edge of her bed."What did the school say?" "I haven't gone yet." Mom nodded. "Nat, did I get you in trouble?"A lump formed in my throat. "No.""Don't lie to me," she said softly. "I just wanted to earn a little more money. I didn't mean to stir up trouble.""Mom, you really didn't." Holding my gaze, she said, "Go. I'll wait for you to come back."I rose to my feet and walked to the door."Nat."I spun around.Her lips trembled, as if she wanted to tell me so many things. In the end, she only forced out, "Be careful out there." I walked out of her hospital room and stood in the corridor for a long time. Then, I headed to the school. …At 8:00 am the next morning, I stood before the desk in the principal's office. Mr. Fletcher sat behind it, with Leon seated next to him. There was a cup of Black Ivory coffee on the table. Its ar
