Chapter 38: Wee Waahh..
Every other bystander began to sneer, cursing Nathan under their breath, looking at him not as a victim of theft, but as a truly horrible, vindictive stalker trying to destroy successful people out of pure jealousy.Watching the crowd turn, watching Mark play the hero, Nathan felt a profound, clarifying coldness settle into his bones.The very tiny, pathetic flame of pity he had been holding onto for Amanda was extinguished. Completely.A minute ago, he had foolishly been hovering on the edge of giving her a chance at redemption. He had been letting the ghost of "them" soften his edges. But looking at her now, hiding behind Mark's lies, playing the victim after destroying his life... the truth was undeniable.Amanda was eighteen years old. She was legally an adult. That meant every choice she made, every lie she told, every betrayal she executed, she made out of her own free will. He wasn't missing anything. He wasn't wrong.She was a monster.A person who would stand by and watch ano
Chapter 37: Lost In A Void
The stinging heat on Nathan’s left cheek bloomed, hot and sharp, but his head barely moved. He didn't raise a hand to touch the red mark rapidly forming on his skin. He didn't blink. He just stood there, his jaw locked in a firm, unforgiving line, watching Amanda breathe in ragged, hysterical gasps.He looked into her eyes, searching past the smeared mascara and the panicked, dilated pupils. He was looking for the girl he had once loved. The girl who had once, supposedly, loved him back.She wasn't there.The person standing in front of him did not look like someone enjoying the high life. She looked hollowed out, lost in a dark, rapidly shrinking void. There was a frantic, terrified regret swimming in her expression. It was… like a regret Nathan couldn't quite map out. Was she sorry she betrayed him, or was she just sorry she was getting caught? There were always consequences for every action. Did she really think selling her soul to the "cool guys" for a taste of campus royalty wa
Chapter 36: Risky Accusations
The silence that followed was absolute. It was the kind of silence that precedes a car crash.Amanda gasped, taking a step back. Mark looked completely lost. The rest of the goons stared at Calloway, waiting for the punchline, waiting for their leader to laugh off the insane accusation.Calloway didn't laugh.Internally, his world was collapsing. His heart slammed against his ribs. ‘How does he know? The servers were encrypted. It is impossible to hack the site. Nobody knows.’ He felt a cold sweat break out on the back of his neck. He looked at Nathan’s flat, dead eyes and realized, with horrifying clarity, that the boy wasn't guessing. He knew. He knew everything.But pride is a fatal disease. Calloway was the second king of Braxton. He was the son of a millionaire. He couldn't let a peasant break him in front of his court.Calloway forced a loud, jagged laugh. It sounded a little too shrill. "You are completely psychotic! Listen to yourself, Chicken Boy! You’s a fucking janitor who
Chapter 35: The Underdogs
Nathan left the administrative wing with a smirk resting comfortably on his face. The heavy mahogany doors of the principal’s suite clicked shut behind him, but the stinging sense of amusement lingered in his chest, warm and deeply satisfying.Power was a beautiful thing. It was even more beautiful when weaponized in fragments.He walked down the polished corridor, his worn sneakers squeaking faintly against the floor. The look on Principal Epstein’s face when he had dropped Dwayne’s name... it was priceless. Chef’s kiss!It was the specific, hollowed-out expression of a man realizing he was standing on the tracks and the train was already in the tunnel. Epstein feared the name Dwayne so entirely, so carefully. He respected the enforcer of the Walters Financial Trust as if the man were a deity of ruin.Nathan chuckled, adjusting the strap of his faded canvas backpack. ‘How is his face going to look when he realizes he just tried to expel Dwayne’s actual boss?’ He hadn't even begun the
Chapter 34: Guts Of A Janitor
"The document," Nathan repeated, entirely unmoved, diverging back to the topic at hand, as if totally unthreatened by Mr. Epstein. “Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act," Nathan said, in a conversational tone, "a student named in a formal institutional complaint retains the right to review any documentation pertaining to disciplinary proceedings affecting their enrollment status. That is federal law, Mr. Epstein. Not Braxton policy. Federal."Epstein looked at the boy in the faded shirt sitting across from him –the boy who swept and mopped his floors at four PM on Thursdays, who had, in the last forty-eight hours, gotten a tenured professor fired, and was now citing FERPA in a disciplinary meeting with the posture of someone who found the whole proceeding mildly interesting.Something deeply wrong was happening, and Epstein could not identify precisely what it was. It was like trying to locate a sound in a building. You could hear it clearly, but every time you tracked
Chapter 33: Let Me Remind You
The Principal's office was located in the old administrative wing, where the architecture was oldest and the carpets were historically the thickest — the part of the building specifically designed to communicate institutional authority to anyone entering it. Nathan had cleaned these offices at four PM on Thursdays. He knew the layout intimately, including the fact that Epstein kept his personal liquor in the third drawer of the credenza and thought nobody knew.The secretary, Mrs. Pringle, a small woman with reading glasses on a beaded chain and the professional demeanor of someone who had processed a great deal of drama without allowing any of it to touch her personally, looked up from her desk when Nathan arrived."Nathan Walters," she said, already expecting the janitor. "Go right in."Principal Epstein was standing when Nathan entered, which was not his usual posture. He was a sitting-down man by instinct and habit, a man who communicated authority through the permanence of his c
