Chapter Eleven: A New Ally
After the four of them got inside the little office space, the seniors filled Lawson in on what all had been going on with their class and Prickly. Needless to say, the former graduate was a little shocked.
"Why in hang didn't you just do what we did last year?" Lawson asked, swirling his spoon inside his coffee mug. "Would've saved a lot of trouble."
The other three exchanged looks. "Last year?" Ashley Q asked. "What happened last year?"
"Aw, Prickly tried to pull that auditorium trick on us, but we told him at the beginning of the year that we weren't listening to him, went on and booked Armstrong for graduation, and then there was nothing the school could do about it," Lawson replied, taking a sip of his hot drink. "As for the Honor's Cords thing, I wouldn't know, because I didn't get any last year."
"Doesn't surprise me," Vince almost muttered, but T.J. gave him a warning glance not to say anything insulting.
"Why didn't we think of doing that?" Ashley Q asked the two boys beside her, who shrugged.
"So, you all wrote a bunch of complaints against Prickly about this?" Lawson continued to ask.
"Sure, why not?" T.J. asked back. "I mean, the guy has stolen our cords, our auditorium, our money...pretty much our graduation!"
"Calm down, Detweiler, geez, you always get so riled up," the older boy told him. "So, he's using you all for an excuse to get air- conditioning in the gym and auditorium, stealing money from you guys to get cool office supplies, plus he's got Weems working for him? Sounds like a soap opera gone bad."
"That's why we wrote all these letters," Vince cut in. "To expose Prickly to the whole town and maybe get some help in winning our rights back."
"You WILL type this up, right?" T.J. asked hopefully. If anyone was going to type them, he would want someone he knew to do it, especially someone who seemed to understand.
Lawson looked a bit doubtful. "I don't know guys. My mom's the freakin' guidance counselor at that school, I can't print up something bad about it. She'd read Friday's paper, see all this stuff I allowed to be printed, call me at my apartment and chew my ear off."
"Listen, I know your mom works at the school, but the school is driving us nuts!" T.J. tried to explain. "Besides, we're not attacking your mother, just Prickly. That IS who she takes orders from."
Lawson considered this, decided that helping people fight for their rights was a better thing to do than live up to his mother's expectations, so he assured them all that the letters would be written and put out in the paper.
"But they ain't ALL going in Friday's edition," he told them as they left. "I can't stick thirty something letters in one paper. I'm going to have to split them up and put a few in each day."
"That's fine, just as long as they get in there," Ashley Q answered. Then, surprisingly, she actually smiled. "Thanks, this is SO sweet of you."
He started blushing. "Shucks, I'm just doin' my job."
"Come on, Ash," T.J. interrupted them, grabbing the girl's arm and pulling her down the hall. "We have to get to Kelso's to tell everyone the news."
Yay, now they have Lawson helping them from the "inside"! Will anything else happen in the journey for recovering their rights? To find out, gotta keep reading, and don't forget to review!
