Jasmine walked in, desperately shouting out Aims' name and that's when she found the whole family's gaze fixed on her. Their devastation was as visible as hers that she could tell at a single glance.
"Jas~" Aims cried the moment their eyes met. She instinctively fell into her embrace. "I didn't do it, Jasmin...this is a mistaken identity. Am not the person in that video." Her voice choked in tears and Jasmin intutively robbed her back. As gentle as she could sound, she tried to calm her.
" I know, dear and I believe you." Jasmine said in attempt to console her. Nina's gaze flashed in confusion, frustration and devastation. Who would want to throw her daughter in such a mess?~She thought. 
As well as she had known Aims, she was not a type to hold grudge against others or get into fight with anyone. So who could it me?– She conflicted. She needed a way to get to the root of this mystery. But before that, she had to see to her welfare first.
"Prince ~Jasmine” She immediately called their attention. “ ...take her home first. I don't think it's safe for her to join class today. She can't go looking like this either” She concluded but her request were immediately rulled off by Aimscious.
“No, mum” She turned to Nina who was by now looking all stressed and worried. “ There is no need for me to hide...I didn't do anything wrong. The one who should be hiding is the wrong doer.” She pointed.
" You're right, honey but...”
" Don't worry, mum. I'm fine" She assured, drying off her tears. A bright smile soon lifted her sorrow. " See?~I'm fine”
Although it looked forced and Nina definitely knew she was just doing that to just to calm her, yet she decided to play along. She didn't want to be another weakness for her. “ Sure?”
She nodded with a yes. " Let's get going~we'll be running late” She said to Prince and Jasmine who tilted their heads with an okay even though their faces told otherwise. With a goodbye kiss, she headed out first. Nina's eyes tailed her back till she was out of sight. She sighed.
"Don't worry, mum...we'll take care of her. I assure you.” Prince said and Nina trusted him. "Make sure she doesn't skip her meals or do anything crazy,huh?” She stated and they both understood.
" We'll get going then.” With that, they bid their farewells and hurried after her shortly. " Poor girl, I hope this ends soon" Nina expressed. Soon she saw their car seize into the main street, dashing off in a brief.

About a 30mins drive, their car found it way to the school's parking lodge. Aims and Jasmine were the first to head out since they had the same class for the morning. Murmurs and fingers soon came flooding their way as they launched into the campus.
" Hey, just ignore them...” Jasmine said in a whisper as they sauntered on. " They're just a bunch of morons.” She tried cheer her on which succeeded for a second but then, another came hitting in.
" Hey, cheap bitch!..” A voice yelled from the group of students grouped at the entrance which made the others giggle along. “ Such a useless thing!~ We don't want you in this school. Leave!!”
The insult came with food and other stuff flying her way. Other students soon joined in “ Hey stop this...” Jasmine cried, she couldn't help but to cover her as Aims remained rooted in her spot like a drenched chick. Her face remained buried to the ground as the tears effortlessly rolled down her eyes. She had never felt this embarrassed in her whole life.
Lilia watched on from the far distance with smiles and satisfaction written all over her face. “At least something got to you, Aims. ” She chuckled. “ It feels good to be your worst nightmare.”  Her giggles faded into the roars in the hallway as she headed off to her hall.
Out of no where, Prince's jacket came flying over her head. Just like in the movies. Aims looked up to see his brother towering over her. “ Let's get out of here.” He said, leading them away from the crowd.
Mr Simon on the other hand, found it fortunate and the best time to also strike at her. “Winning a battle isn't for the weak and emotional.” He sneered.

After Prince had made sure they were safely in their class, he headed straight to his. Although they expected the worst, yet their class wasn't as scary as out there. Almost all the students were invested in one thing or the other. No one was even paying attention to them.
“ Are you sure you still want to stay?” Jasmine asked right after they had settled in. She just nodded to it. “ I need to stay strong if I'm to win this.”
“ But Aims...”
“ Trust me...I'm fine.” She affirmed. At this point, Jasmine knew there was no way to convince her any longer. She nodded to her request and turned to her stuff. Their lecturer greeted from the entrance and the class chorused a response.
Lectures soon began with Aims totally out of herself. She just stared on with no concentration at all. Her mind was rather at sea with just nothing particular in sight. It's strange how the world suddenly turns at you–all cold shoulders and ruthless.
About an hour later, the Principal came in, requesting for Aimscious Nelson's presence. She didn't realize when her name was mentioned out until Jasmine nudged her to reality. “ You're needed over there” She whispered.
She turned only to meet the piercing gaze of Simon at the front. He seem to have a smirk on his face and Aims knew he was up to something but he couldn't pinpoint what exactly it was but she had a feeling he had something to do with the video but so far, nothing could prove her hunch.
" I'll want the the whole school to assemble at the assemble hall to address the case of Miss Aimscious Nelson.” He completed his words, staring down at Aimscious. Her legs felt numb, her head lifted as her eyes remained fix on his gaze.
“What? ” Jasmine exclaimed in disbelief. “ How is this done anywhere?...addressing a student's case publicly like this?” She lamented. Without any further words, Mr Simon excused himself.
