Seeing all these photos of Rose disturbs you, and arouses you.. You decide to shoot Rose a text,

'If you haven't seen it yet, take a breath and steel yourself. Z8 made his move. If you have seen it, breathe, he wants you to panic or do something rash. Be strong, look strong and we'll sort it out.'

You wait for a moment not seeing a response. You decide to find Britney and see how she's holding up in all this chaos.
------

After texting Britney she tells you to meet her in the Janitors closet. You arrive there shortly. Britney sighs defeated,

"Change your mind about the whole sucking business?"

"No! Britney come on. That wasn't why I wanted to meet up with you. I was legitimately concerned about you. Thats why I was out wandering the halls in the first place, I wanted to find you and see how you were holding up."

Britney seems surprised,

"Wait, you.. You care about me?"

"Of course.. Even though we've kinda had our falling out, I still consider you a friend."

Britney seems sad,

"I.. I apologize then for jumping to conclusions.. Perhaps.. I've been harsh with you."

She looks down, but then looks back up at you smiling a little,

"I.. I would like for us to be friends again if that's ok with you."

"Woah, really?"

"Its.. It's been hard all by myself. It'd be nice to have a good friend to rely on. You didn't take advantage of me when you could have. So I guess I was wrong about you."

"You uh.. You're not still mad about the underwear thing are you?"

Her smile fades for a moment, but then returns.

"How about this, you go a day without any underwear, and we'll call it even ok?"

You nod,

"I can do that."

Britney walks over and brings you in for a hug. Feeling her warmth again feels nice.

Britney speaks,

"If it's not too much trouble, maybe we could hang out together after school? I.. I think it would be nice to catch up some more."

You smile,

"I'll think about it."

Suddenly Britney's phone buzzes.

She gets a text, you look over your shoulder. 1 new text from Rose, 'It's time.'

Britney responds,

'Be there in 5.'

You ask Britney,

"What's going on? Is this that plan you guys were talking about?"

Britney speaks plainly,

"Z12 is planning a coup. She waited for Z8 to do something like this in order to have an excuse to act in self defense and take him out."

"Woah, seriously?"

Britney nods,

"Now all I have to do is assemble my team and we'll do the deed."

You scratch your chin,

"But wait, isn't your team borrowed from Z8?"

"I've already gone over this with them. They believe he's abusing his power as well. Rose showed me videos of Z8's violent and cruel abuses. And when I saw that I knew for sure I had to do something about it."

------------

It's outside the art room you're peering just outside with Britney and the crew. Z8 is painting some poor naked students covered in cuts and holding cement blocks. Rose is across from him steadily approaching him.

"Did you come to watch me paint in person? I call this one 'Living Pavement'. The symbolic representation for how we as Monitors tend to walk all over our subjects."

Rose seems unamused,

"It's terrible. Pretentious."

He scoffs,

"Well, it's clear how little you know about art then."

Rose responds,

"Art you say? You know, you're always talking about how suffering makes the best art."

"Yes? Clearly. I assume you have a point?"

Rose grimaces,

"I hate people like you. If you're so hung up on the idea of suffering for your art, then live like a beggar, give up your Monitor position and go back to being a Washout. Endure that pain you seem to love so much. Or is it different when your subject experiences pain and not you?"

He nervously chuckles,

"You have some nerve you know. Coming in here like this. Trying to lecture me about art."

He suddenly grins madly,

"But you know, speaking of art. I did see those pictures of you in the hall. What a fitting face you had with some guys pipe down your throat. And then from behind too."

He chuckles salaciously,

"Oh you must be reeling with embarrassment right now. The great cutthroat queen.. Now degraded to nothing more than a common whore. More like, the Cockthroat Queen.. Hehemm."

Rose grins,

"So this was it then. Your ace in the hole. Your entire plan was to humiliate me? Have me seen this way?"

He chuckles,

"Not bad eh? But no worries. When you lose all credibility, I'll save you a seat at my feet. I won't let the common rabble have their way with you.. No.. For you see I am an artist.. And a subject like you needs.. Much closer examination.."

He gets up from his drawing walking over to her with a lewd expression.

"Maybe you can show me what you can do with those precious lips you love to talk so much with. They'd look so much better wrapped around my cock don't you think?"

She laughs,

"Leave it to an artist to live in his own little fantasy world. You think spreading around some old pictures of me getting fucked is gonna make me lose credibility? Did you think I would hide from it? I didn't take down a single poster. The only thing you did was give me free press."

He seems confused, even stunned for a moment,

"But.. But how?"

She laughs,

"Because I don't care what people think of me. Call me a slut, a bitch, a whore. Whatever you feel like. Most of it's true anyway. Do you even know how many cocks I sucked to get where I'm at? With every disgusting little cock I put in my mouth, I traded that bit of dignity for power, and leverage. So much leverage that there isn't a person alive at this school that can defy me."

Z8 is visibly uncomfortable now. Rose continues,

"So go on, tell me more about your plan, wheres stage 2? Where's the part where you destroy me huh? I'm still waiting."

Z8 growls,

"You shut up you harlot!"

Rose chuckles,

"Oh? Is that just a bit of fear I hear in your voice?"

"Y-you'll never get away with this! The council will never approve of this!"

Rose's expression is smug,

"I'll save you a spot at my feet. If you can kiss my boots and admit to me that I'm superior. Forsake it all and become my personal slave. I'll spare you and we'll sweep it all under the rug."

He laughs,

"Y-you're crazy.. You can't do anything, you're all talk!"

He snaps his finger. And right on cue, Britney and her underlings come out.

"Go on then! Get her! Show this whore what happens when you defy the works of a great artist!"

They stand still, unmoving at his command,

"What are you, deaf? I said go!"

He turns back to Rose in fear.

"N-no.. It's not possible."

Rose chuckles. Z8 tries to run but the men tackle him to the ground.

"NOOO, GET OFF MEE!!!"

Britney stands over him,

"Your reign of terror ends here scumbag."

Britney then walks over to Rose kneeling before her,

"It is done Ma'am."

Rose grins,

"Good girl. I knew you'd pull through for me."

They have Z8 pinned to the ground,

Rose stands triumphantly above him. Z8 looks terrified.

"P-please.. Have mercy."

Rose kneels down smiling,

"How about you and I create a little art project together?"

He struggles and squirms against the people holding him down, but it's useless.

"NOOO, PLEASE GOD NO!"
----------
Z8 was violently beaten by his own men, and gave up his rank. It's later at 5th period and Z2 is talking with Rose and Britney while you stand here.

"I see. So Z8 gave up his rank?"

She writes some more things down on her clipboard,

"I know this was self defense. But I'm suspecting there was more at play here than that."

Z2 sighs,

"But regardless, we do need a new Z8 to fill the slot. You suggested 244 for the position?"

Rose smiles,

"I think she's more than qualified."

Z2 sighs again,

"Very well, I'll discuss this with the other council members."

Z2 seems upset. Rose responds smugly,

"What's the matter Z2? You seem like you have something you wanna say."

"Don't think that I'm not onto your game Z12."

Z2 starts to walk away but Rose catches her,

"What game is that? Tell me about it."

Roses arm is wrapped around Z2's shoulder.

"Come on little lady, tell me more.. I wanna hear what cute thoughts you have to say.."

Z2 seems uncomfortable,

"Please desist from touching me."

"Captain of the chess team. An honor student and the number 2 slot. You're a real smart little cookie aren't you?"

Rose pokes Z2's forehead. Z2 looks away,

"Stop teasing me."

"With such a massive intellect, surely you'll be able to outsmart someone like me right?"

Z2 grits her teeth shoving Rose away and storming off. Rose is grinning as she says softly,

"Oh no, she's getting away. I wanted to play with her some more."

---------

It's after school,

1) Go home with Rose, what better way to congratulate her for her victory?

2) Text Cabella, time for more Owl plots.

3) Take Britney up on her offer to hang out.

4) Write-In
