Secret Lover
Crazy Debacle: Part One
Ulrich walked into the headmistress' office. He had been woken at 2 a.m. Saturday morning by Jim who told him Headmistress Miles needed to speak with him immediately. At first he thought Jim was joking but when the man frowned Ulrich knew he was serious. Now he was in front of the headmistress who looked completely flustered. Completely unlike her usual self.
"Is something wrong?" Ulrich asked.
"Um, just sit down Ulrich," Headmistress Miles said her hands all over the place, "I...Jim maybe..."
"No offense ma'am but I know these students, you mustn't be intimidated by these nasty rumours," Jim reassured her.
Ulrich looked at Jim in surprise. He'd just defended all Kadic students and spoke over the headmistress in one swoop.
"Ok," Headmistress Miles said taking a deep breath, "Ulrich, I'm going to ask you a few questions. Please answer them hoestly, all of them," she emphasized.
"Ok," Ulrich agreed carefully.
"Do you know the former headmaster, Mr. Delmas?"
"Of course, he's our headmaster," Ulrich said, "he'll be returning soon."
"No, he sent in his request for early retirement," Headmistress Miles revealed, "some of the board contested it...but now...I don't think retiring will be much of a problem for him."
"Why?" Ulrich asked, "did something happen with his wife? Sissi?"
""No, no," Headmistress Miles told him, "but Ulrich...is there something you'd like to tell me? Something you can't discuss with your friends or your parents?" she moved on.
"What?" Ulrich asked incredulous1y, "Headmistress Miles, please tell me what's going on!"
Headmistress Miles sighed. "Are you...ugh! I can't ask this!"
"Do you have any romantic relationship with anyone other than your girlfriend?" Jim spoke up, "someone years older?"
"Older than...wait a girl other than Yumi?" Ulrich asked in horror, "if I dared cheat on her, she'd execute me! No way!"
"So you're saying that any claims that you've been with anyone else is false?" Headmistress Miles asked anxiously, "this is serious Ulrich, something is coming out in tomorrow's paper and the school only just found out by accident," she explained.
"What could I do to make the papers?" Ulrich asked confused, "wait," he blanched, "the papers are saying I'm with someone...who is it?" he hissed recalling the 'older' comment.
Headmistress Miles leaned back in her chair. She belived Ulrich was telling the truth. If not, he deserved an Oscar.
"Your former headmaster, Mr. Delmas," Headmistress Miles revealed barely over a whisper.
A shocked Ulrich immediately went green. Jim grabbed a watebasket just in time for Ulrich to throw up.
It was 9 a.m. at the Delmas residence and Aunt Harriet sat watching a fuming Sissi. She had to play non-chalant as Sissi shouted about her father being victimized by liars and rumour mongers. The teen turned on her aunt, eyes flaring. After everything else now she had to hear from one of her friends whose mother was on Kadic's Board that something was coming out in the papers soon about her father having a scandalous affair with a student.
"Who told the papers?" Sissi demanded.
"I don't know," Aunt Harriet lied, "but they said the individual was at your parent's house after your mother was hospitalized."
"My dad's a headmaster with a sick wife," Sissi snapped, "do you know how many people came over? What kind of vague crap is that?"
"I'm so sorry honey but you did say from her friend's description that this person's very protective of your dad's reputation."
"Who cares and I don't think this is true, unlike you," Sissi said.
"Well I 've been hearing some things but...I didn't want to upset you," Aunt Harriet tempted.
"What? What did you hear?" Sissi rushed up.
"Well there's that Aelita Hopper," Aunt Harriet suggested, "she was that innocent girl with the big scandal," she recalled.
Sissi snorted. "Who else do you suspect, Jeremie?"
"I agree but...who else?" Aunt Harriet pointed out.
The phone rang and Aunt Harriet answered it. She hung up with a red face.
"What's wrong?" Sissi asked urgently.
"The investigator I had...um...he found something," Aunt Harriet said solemnly.
"Investi...you were spying on my dad, weren't you?" Sissi accused.
"Grow up!" Aunt Harriet said, "this is serious, he had that the culprit is most likely among Aelita's friends, if not her. Someone very protective of the group," she added.
"Like who?"
"I'm not sure, are there any other girl's?" Aunt Harriet asked, "I only know of the boys," she added.
"Yumi but...oh hell no," Sissi said out loud, "if that bitch went near my dad she's dead.
Herve told me to get Sissi worked up, Aunt Harriet thought, I don't care who she gets mad at. As long as it's not me.
