66 Trap (1/2)

The next morning, I woke up to the sound of my phone alarm smiling, knowing that today will be the day that I get my revenge against those two bitches. It was a great feeling to be honest, one that made me quite energetic and excited to head back to school.

I quickly went through my morning routine, trying to forget the awkward hours I spent with my two teachers that went from noon all the way to eight in the afternoon. It was... somewhat a difficult eight hours that I endured, but for some reason it didn't feel that bad. They paid for my food and everything. To be honest, that's another reason why finding an older girlfriend is better than one younger than you because they'll feel responsible for you.

Loriana had left the house while I was still eating breakfast, leaving me alone in the house. I didn't blame her because she has her job, but I do occasionally miss the times when I wouldn't have to be alone in my own house. But whatever. I still have more important things to do.

Once I left my house, Muria was waiting by the elevator door like always. I walked up beside her and waited in silence. She still appeared to be somewhat concerned about the request forms so she occasionally glanced over at me with a look that, I admit, made my heart rate increase. That slight frown on her face from the uncertainty and that tamed expression really made me somewhat aroused.

We didn't speak on the way to Lumina Station, and even after passing the ticket gates and waiting at the platforms for the elevated railway, we did not talk. It was only when we were in the train, standing face to face and in close proximity to the other due to the crowded nature of the train and grabbing onto the hanging strap before she finally gathered up the courage to speak to me. However, before she did so though... that was the real deal.

The way her eyes darted around shyly and that light blush on her face as she tried to gather up courage. Combine that with the occasional soft sigh that escaped her mouth due to the pent up frustration... it was really the sight to behold, something that I never thought was possible from someone like Muria.

”So about the forms...” she finally said after she finished gathering her courage.

”Don't worry,” I said, unzipping my school bag and showing her the forms that I retrieved from the trash container in the hallway yesterday. ”I found them.”

She let out a sigh of relief after seeing the forms in my bag. Then, on her face was finally an expression of relaxation.

”Didn't I tell you I'll take care of it?”

”I just never thought someone like you can actually be counted on.”

”I'm still pretty reliable when it comes to it,” I sighed and zipped up my school bag.

Once we arrived at school, we met up with Irina in our homeroom class. The classroom decorations for our class had came into shape. The tables were all laid out with the table clothes draped over them, and behind the divider, the portable kitchen had mostly been set up already.

After taking roll, the three of us relocated to our club room. On our way there, I discovered that the decorations for the Festival had mostly finished. Well, it is a Friday already so it should be mostly finished. The halls were decorated with signs and flyers advertising each classes's activity and stores. Most importantly, there were numerous flyers on the bulletin board about the play that Irina and Muria will be in.

Once we entered our club room, we placed our bags down on the rectangular table in the very center of it, and the two girls approached me while I sat on my chair. Irina's expression was one of confidence, and Muria's seemed to be one of content. This probably stemmed from their understanding that we were saved from the worst of punishments. They may be content, but I'm not. In order for me to be content, I need to see the two punished.

”Irina,” I said, handing her the forms that were paper-clipped together. ”Put these in your bag. After that, let's go to the theater club and you two can rehearse there.”

”Huh, why?” Irina questioned my decision.

On her face was a look of confusion. She probably didn't understand why I wanted us to leave the classroom after having the forms stolen the day before because we left. However, that is exactly what I needed. I need the forms to be stolen.

”Just do as I say,” I responded with a confident grin. ”You'll know later on.”

”If you say so...” Irina frowned but accepted my decision.

She accepted the forms from me and walked over to her bag. Then, I watched as she placed them in her bag and zipped up the zippers. Once she finished, I was certain I was a step closer to victory. Now that everything was in place, all I need was a way to capture them in the act. They will be extra cautious today and check everywhere for cameras in order to be sure that no footage of them digging through Irina's bag will be captured.

So what is a good way to acquire evidence then? The answer to that question is simple. They will be checking the inside of the room, notably the walls and the shelves. They'll be looking around as they enter the room, searching for the cameras. However, they will be neglecting one area, and that is where the bags are located.

I had intentionally had the two place their bags in the center of the table, which is basically in the center of the room. They won't be checking there for cameras, so all I have to do is point the concealed camera not towards Irina's bag, but rather above it so I can get a clear shot at the culprits's faces.

I powered on the small camera I had brought from home and placed it in my bag, leaving the zippers on the top somewhat unzipped so that it could capture what I want it to capture. I checked the disguise for the camera and smiled as I realized that there's no way one could see the recording device from the outside.
