In no time, the hall was full with students–chattering and murmuring among each other. The only topic you could make out was Aims' video scandal. Fingers kept flying her way as other students continued joining in. 
In front of the audience were the Principal, along with Aimscious, the disciplinary head and a few more lecturers. Jasmine and Prince's nervous gaze remained fixed on her as they settled in their seat. 
“ I'm really worried about her, bro”Jasmine sounded all helpless. Prince held her shoulder with a assuring look in his eyes.“ I believe she'll be alright.” He pressed, trying to sound more convincing even though he felt frustration drown him.
Kingsley who had tailed the story all along had a sense of suspicion towards Lilia. From what he had seen just these couple of days definitely told him she had a hand in all that was going on. Although he had his own observations and knew for sure Aims was innocent, yet he didn't know how to prove it. He basically had no clear evidence to accuse the culprit. He felt guilty and sad for her~he still couldn't believe why Lilia will do that to her best friend as she had earlier introduced.
For once, he had the urge to put things right. By any means possible, he thought to get the cat out of the bag. “ Quite! ” A voice called to their attention “.... let's get to the reason of this assemble” He continued as silence rapt the hall.
“ A video had come to our notice, involving Miss Aimscious Nelson here.” Mr Foster, the displinary head stated with displeasure. “ ...And for some reasons, we've taken it as a threat and violation to the school's rules and regulation, and again a threat to the peace and serene environment we have had all these years. Due to this, we've come to a conclusion of expelling Miss Aims from this noble institution.”
His voice ended with an uproar from the student body. Aims at this point had nothing in mind~ she felt blank everywhere. Her teary eyes glanced up at Mr Foster who stood facing her at the moment. “ We're sorry, Aims...” She blinked back tears and just nodded.
Mr Simon and Lilia had a smirk on their faces.  “ You may disperse now. From hence, you seize to be a student of SCHOLARS UNIVERSITY ” He concluded. Along with the Principal and other staff, Mr Foster made to the exit. 
“ Prince, we're doomed~” Jasmine lamented but Prince quickly disagreed.
“ No, Jas, I promise, I'll get to the root of this,huh?” She just nodded even though she had no idea how he was going to do that.
Jasmine and Prince immediately hurried to the podium . “ Aims...” She called and wrapped her in a hug. Her head rested over her shoulder and they wailed. “ It's the end, Jas...”
Before they could say anymore, Aims fled from the hall. “ Aims!..Aims!!” They both called after her but she was long gone. They quickly raced after her but couldn't find her anywhere around the campus.
 Fortunately, they came across Kingsley. “ Are you searching for Aims?” He asked and they affirmed. “ Over there, she went towards the stream...that's where I'm headed now”
“ Hurry, let's go” Jasmine panicked. They all took to their heels, hoping to catch onto her before she does the unthinkable.

Recollecting the fun memories and reliving it with sadden smiles, Aims slowly drifted into the stream. Even though it looked scary and cold, she embraced it. For some reason, it felt warm and calming. Her last words came with a farewell to her loving family. 
“ I'll always cherish and love you...” She succumb to the cold. 
“ Aims !!” They all screamed as she struggled beneath the waters. As fast as their legs could go, they got to the bank of the stream which suddenly settled into silence.
“ Aimscious!!!!” Jasmine wailed as Prince and Kingsley instinctively dived in. Within a couple of few seconds, she was dragged out by Kingsley who laid her right on the floor.
“ Aims...stay with me, please.” Prince cried but she showed no sign of response. He kept pressing her chest but nothing at all. “ I've already called for an ambulance, they will be here shortly.” Jasmine announced.
Just then, it wheeled in. With the aid of the nurses on board, they rolled her in– first aid were on as the ambulance sped into the main street. They desperately tried to get her pulse and vitals.
She was immediately rushed into the emergency room with doctors and nurses right into action. Jasmine,Prince and Kingsley waited at the corridor for any good news. Nina was already informed about the situation and had headed over.

Minutes turned into an hour which met them with a bad news. “ She couldn't make it.” Prince said to Nina who came in in despair. She instinctively sunk to the floor, her voice echoed through the corridors in sorrow.
“ I'm sorry I couldn't keep to my promise,mum...I'm so sorry.” He cried. Just then, he noticed Lilia hurry in from the entrance. Before she could head any further, he met up with her. 
“ What the hell are you doing here?” His eyes burned with fury and she noticed. “ I'm here to see Aims~how is she?” She stammered.
“ Get out of here!” 
“ But I...”
“ I said get lost.” He yelled which brought everyone's gaze on them.  “ She's dead and that's what you wanted.” The tears slowly rolled down his his. Lilia found her tongue stuck in her mouth–her face washed in shame. “ you think I don't know you were behind all that?” He pointed. 
“ What are you talking about?”
“ Stop playing dumb and get out of here.” He seized her by the arm and threw her out. “ I promise to get your deeds blown out there in no time, honey...trust me.”
“ I'll leave...” She said, continuing on an impulse. “ but all I want you to know is that, I have no idea what you are accusing me of~I'm innocent.”She concluded. He just stared as he trod off.
                                               *************
Kingsley who had immediately followed Lilia out when she left the hospital dropped into the house only to meet it in a mess with no Lilia in sight. She had thrown a tantrum, leaving the house the way he had found it. 
He heaved a sigh and hurried up to her room to look for her. That's when she overheard her confession. He finally found out the truth.
“ All this because of a guy?~ who is this Mart?” He butt in from the door which found Lilia without words. “ Who the hell is this Mart of a guy?” His patience dried out.
