We get to see Trevor's freedom being thrown away for all to see...by his former students.

Chapter 37: The Last We'll See of Trevor

One week later

Meena has gotten over her ordeal with Trevor and is just looking forward to just a normal day at school and as she walks towards the campus, in walks Morrison on his skateboard coming in and he makes a stop as he grabs his board, stuffs it in his backpack and heads in as well. Believe it or not, the events that had occured seemed to bring them closer together as soon as Morrison sees Meena coming in and she turns around and happily waves at him. He waves back as he makes way to his locker to get his books for his first class, completely unaware that right next to his is a certain gorilla pounding his fist three times and opens just like that as he gets his things from his locker.

Morrison looks up and realizes that locker next to him is Johnny's which took him by surprise and he said, "Hey, Johnny."

Johnny looks up and sees Morrison there and he smiled and said, "Hey, Morrison. How's it going?"

"Pretty good, man. You?" asked Morrison.

"Same here, couldn't complain." Johnny replied, cheerfully.

Morrison chuckled softly and stated, "I didn't know what your locker is next door to mine."

"Is that right?" asked Johnny, very bewildered.

Morrison nodded his head as Johnny looked at the two lockers and when connecting the dots with two and two together, he was floored by the fact that these two are locker-mates and he said, "This is amazing. Looks as if we're gonna be in the same position."

"Yeah, isn't that awesome?" asked Morrison, completely excited.

Johnny couldn't agree more as the two shared the same enthusiasm and both of them gave each other a fist-bump while making an explosion noise as they were laughing with each other and not long afterwards, Meena came in and she saw Morrison and Johnny standing by and she said, "Hey, guys."

"Hi, Meena." Johnny replied.

"Hey, Meena." Morrison added.

Morrison could tell that her joyfulness is back in full bloom almost as if everything's going back to normal before Trevor even entered the picture and that's a good sign that she's moving on and Meena said, "Hey, Morrison...thanks for extra songs to put on my headphones. I have to admit, this new Kitty Perry song has got me dancing!"

"Well, thanks! Did you also like the new Linkin Pond song?" asked Morrison.

"I liked it. I couldn't believe it's the same band that used to do all the screaming on their songs." Meena added.

"I know, I couldn't believe it either. I showed this song to Milo and company the other day and they told me that it sucked because it doesn't sound like it used to sound from their last work." Morrison added.

"I've just heard it on the way to school. I have mixed feelings about it, really." Johnny stated.

As they were talking amongst themselves, they could hear some feedback from the speakers that caught their attention as they heard something from the principal as he clears his throat and makes this immediate announcement.

"Good morning, students. Before you proceed to your first class, I need to see all of you at the auditorium because there is something on the news about one of our former students that had been to jail recently over one particular incident that occurred a few weeks ago concerning one of our own and they're about to give out a sentence. So, would everyone please head to the auditorium as soon as possible? No questions asked. Thank you."

Many of the students were curious about what's going on and they headed to the auditorium as told, including Morrison, Johnny and Meena as they walked to the hallways and made it to the auditorium. As they got there, they had a feeling that it might have something to do with Trevor, much to no surprise to Morrison at all. By the time everyone got in their seats, the auditorium was now packed and they saw this 125 inch flat screen on the stage where it's paused to the 'Breaking News' marquee on it.

As soon as everyone's seated, in comes the principal as well as the track coach and vice-principal to the stage and the principal comes in and said, "As you all know, one of our students has been arrested for many charges due to last week's livestreaming altercation that occured with one of our students, who had the utter misfortune to be tortured and almost brutally murdered and it took one act of heroism to save her from this impending doom. So, we've got to show you all this breaking news that the court had just given on Trevor and some of his gang for this heinous crime. And I am desperately hoping that you all do not do the same thing that this person did weeks ago to livestream your crime on social media. Anyone involved will not only get expelled, but will get arrested as well."

Everyone was silent as soon as they played the 'Breaking News' for the local news and one of the morning anchors had made this opening report.

"On top of the hour, we're following some breaking news straight out of the courtroom that we're now reading the verdicts in the case of Trevor Hindsmire over this kidnapping and torture charges brought against him. Let's all listen in." the morning news anchor announced.

Meena looks at this image of Trevor just smirking for the cameras, seemingly confident that he'll get a not guilty verdict and just looking at his face on the screen brought in a load of anxiety for her, but she found the strength to just not let this guy get inside her head, though he's not physically in the school right now and just waits for the shoe to drop as soon as the verdict comes in.

"Have we all decided on a verdict?" asked the judge.

"We have, your honor." one verdict responds.

Trevor kept on smirking in front of the whole courtroom and he's hoping that he'll walk free out of this jail and continue going the way he's going, like maybe go back to school and charm other girls with his rich and wit and that his lawyers will back him up to throw out the case, proving that there's no physical evidence of a livestreaming incident.

"Proceed." the judge added.

One of the jurors stood up and she clears her throat and said, "We'll focus on last week's incident; on the charge of attempted murder, we the jury, in the above entitled action, find the defendant Trevor Hindsmire, guilty."

Then, Trevor's smirk silently faded as soon as he heard his first 'guilty' come out of her mouth and he didn't think that it'll go that further than that and whispered to his lawyer, "What the hell?"

"On the count of aggravated assault, we the jury find the defendant, Trevor Hindsmire, guilty." the juror added.

"What?" asked Trevor.

"On the second count of attempted aggravated assault, we the jury find the defendant, Trevor Hindsmire, guilty." the juror kept on.

For Meena, it was like she was being very vindicated and like a huge weight had lifted off of her shoulders, but still waits to see what other charged he may or may not be guilty of, but so far...it seems like Morrison was expecting this to happen.

"On the count of conspiring to commit murder with one or more party, we the jury find the defendant, Trevor Hindsmire, guilty." the juror continued.

As soon as every charge reads 'guilty', Trevor became confused and shocked as to how his actions will be completely reprimanded and that those consequences are giving him much more direct serious approaches to have the book thrown directly at him.

"On the count of first-degree torture, we the jury in the above entitlement, find the defendant, Trevor Hindsmire, guilty." the juror continued.

"They can't be serious." Trevor whispered to his attorney.

"As the the count of endangering a minor, we the jury find the defendant, Trevor Hindsmire, guilty." the juror responded.

"Oh, they're serious." Morrison whispered, as they watch through the TV.

"As to the count of first-degree kidnapping with intent to murder, we the jury find the defendant, Trevor Hindsmire, guilty." the juror continued on.

Trevor went from shocked to furious in a quick second as his chance of getting released or have an acquittal are dashed away as he's faced with actual consequences and just couldn't believe all the efforts to release him from prison are for naught and he took one look at his lawyer team and just felt like he's been betrayed by the legal system and his legal team for not defending him enough.

"And finally, on the count of false imprisonment, we the jury in the above entitlement find the defendant, Trevor Hindsmire, guilty." the juror concluded.

It then hit Trevor...all of those charges that were brought before him completely blindsided him that he's been found guilty. But the jury wasn't done with him yet. They were reading all the charges for those missing cases of girls that have either been abducted or murdered and found him guilty on charges of luring a minor against their will, false imprisonment, assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated assault, attempted murder, kidnapping, torture, arson, reckless endangerment, concealment of evidence and endangering the welfare of a minor. However, the jury did acquit him of two charges; serving alcohol to minors and soliciting drugs because there was no further evidence to convict him in that order.

In spite of that, he's guilty of all but 2 charges in the case against those missing teen girls and guilty of all counts of last week's altercation between him and Meena and will have his sentencing soon.

"Are you confident with those proceedings that have been stood before me?" asked the judge.

"Yes, your honor." the juror replied.

Reality completely sunk in for Trevor and as he stood up and faced the judge alongside his lawyers, the judge looked at Trevor and said, "Trevor, you are the poster child for many girls that their father absolutely refuse to start a relationship with. For the sentence of last week's chaotic activity, you are sentenced to serve 45 years to life."

The eruption of cheers in the auditorium room at school just flooded in like crazy and it was like something that has never been foreseen before and the feeling that Meena had was that she can take a deep breath and finally breathe for once and she quickly turned over to Morrison and kissed him on the cheek, much to Morrison's surprise. He did not expect to receive a kiss from Meena and once she realized what she had just did, she was blushing in embarrassment that she just kissed Morrison.

Morrison turned to her with cheeks blushing red and he thoroughly embraced that and he asked, "Did that just happen?"

"I'm so sorry, Morrison! I didn't mean to do that!" Meena exclaimed, in so much embarrassment and she quickly got up from the auditorium and ran out.

Morrison blinked his eyes and he quickly got up from his seat and went after her to let her know that it wasn't really her fault, but the feeling that the kiss came made Morrison think that there's actual feelings there and that his feelings for Meena as well as hers for Morrison were intertwined and as he ran, he began asking himself, "Do I have feelings for Meena? And if so, does she have the same feelings for me?"

There's a reason why I had expanded the story even the aftermath of the confrontation between Morrison and Trevor, regarding Meena. See what else happens next after that unexpected kiss on the cheek Meena gave to Morrison!
