SSA Declassified

  SSA NEWS     A new student, Summer has joined the school and GCAM at large, this week. This comes a few days after GCAM and jVn had a peace treaty.” “Yes, and GCAM had lost their member in Ava so this will now help remedy that loss.” “Exactly, other changes have come to the school as well including….” “Breaking news from SSA HQ we are receiving a press conference that Ethan Shay has called on the arrival of Summer switching to Level 4 secure.               “…here at SSA and Room 16b we are glad that Summer is here and we want to establish diplomatic relations with here as a valued member of the Glory High community. We support her joining GCAM though we worry for their future. The school demographics are changing very quickly. Hazel, Valerie, Ava are all out. The fabric of GCAM is changing quickly, to quickly. The great reconciliation, which has been a good thing morally, but at what cost? GCAM los...

      As school emerges from the post-Potsdam Conference, with GCAM aimless, jVn without strategy, 10th grade weakened, prom up in the air, Hazel gone, and SSA sidelined with no new cases, I decide to speak to Denver. “So what do you think about the state of the school?” “The what? Maverick, what is your brother yapping about?” “I don’t know.” “So did you see the Justin Jefferson catch in Madden?” “Oh yeah it went right through his head!!”      As they yapped on about the mobile game, I thought about how we were going to change the school, spark it up, and mull over the 10th-grade revitalization plan, with the key being Jayla, now the most powerful girl in the grade and even the school.      As the yapping and thinking continues, a new student emerges through the doorway, and suddenly, this day got a whole lot more interesting. Maybe the agency could hire her to invade GCAM and steer them in a new direction so secrets don’t collapse, SSA gets...

     I arrive back to base after my mission. GCAM's fall was imminent and time was running out. Without jVn's threat, what truly held GCAM together? Their isolationist foreign policy wasn't helped by mere prom aspirations. The vacuum left by GCAM on the global stage would echo for years to come. Like in 8th grade, I began planning Valentine's Day national security measures. Sieanna would likely rise to power, and break up attacks loomed. I check the CrushNet software.      CrushNet shows 6 relationships (12 people, over 10% of the school) both internal and external. Crush-related attacks, promposals, and breakups could further threaten GCA's stability. SSA needed a new strategy - instead of entirely opposing teen dating, we'd prevent its expansion. Teen dating was the school's economic foundation; breakups sparked chaos. We'd support non-threatening relationships while blocking external powers from causing mayhem. Though Hazel and Valerie had left, GCAM...

The fallout was clear from the start, Allison was now the clear leader. Sure in the StuGov meeting, I was the secretary and, though this was not a parliamentary system, my side had the majority, GCAM did not want to lead. Instead of putting together a fiscally responsible plan they caved to a 6.5k prom funding plan facilitated by fundraisers every week and our agreement to have unity and to work together for a better school, that GCAM wanted me to say was lost in the noise…the allyship and fight I had seen in GCAM just a few weeks ago was gone. I arrived at the school on a mission. To make the school a better place. Since the loss of Ava and my appointment as secretary of state things were running smoothly. However, the looming tensions still flared. I head up to assembly to run the screens. After pledging to the US, Texas, and Christian flags announcements are made.                “I want all 11 th grade girls to st...

The world had irrevocably changed since we bid 2023 farewell. Glory High's geopolitical landscape was about to become significantly more complicated. Contrary to our limited intelligence reports, Allison had not abdicated and maintained her control of the school. While this development was favorable from a geopolitical standpoint, it necessitated the suspension of the Ethan Shay for GCA '24 campaign. It was then that I noticed the GCAM table.      With war still blazing and tensions running high, I observed a crucial change at the table - not a new addition, but rather a notable absence. My investigation yielded shocking SSA Intelligence reports: Secretary of State Ava had departed from the school. This meant there would be no new secretary present at the January 12th meeting, a critical session where President Allison's new prom initiatives would be set in motion. During a previous November meeting, she had advocated for continued fundraising efforts after failing to r...

     Denver, do you read me? Paging Denver!" Static blares from the radio. No response. We are within 25 miles of the school and Denver's house, but still nothing. The Denver communication plan is a bust for now.      I creep into the roller-skating rink, scanning the crowd for President Allison and Vera. They aren't here, of course, but it can't hurt to check. The next item on the agenda is to practice skating. I take a few laps, studying the layout of the building and committing potential hiding places to memory. Later, I'll save the coordinates in Google Earth for future reconnaissance. At school the next week, I approach Denver. "Denver! I didn't hear anything from you!" "The walkie-talkies didn’t work," Denver admits. "And... I forgot to turn them on. All I heard was static." "Oh, okay," I reply, trying not to sound too disappointed.      We head up the stairs to watch the Christmas movie chosen for us: Klaus.  As pr...
