Operation Rollerblade Pt 2

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 predicted, our GNN episode doesn’t air, and the school day ends uneventfully.

"Bye, Ethan."

"Bye, Allison!" I call out, waving as we part ways.

Back at SSA HQ, I sit down to type up a report on our latest operations and start drafting plans for the campaign. The GCAM-jVN war shows no sign of abating, and rumors of general elections loom large. If Allison steps down, Geneva might lose to Molly—an outcome disastrous for the school. Alternatively, I could step up and take the lead myself. I pore over the intelligence we’ve gathered about GCAM and jVN, formulating arguments for why general elections would be the best course of action.

Christmas comes and goes in a blur, but I can’t shake the anticipation of the upcoming party. Unfortunately, I’m too far from the location to attend in person and have to settle for sending a message instead.

When I return to school the next week, still riding high from the Texans’ victory over the Colts—a win that secured them a playoff spot (Clarissa was thrilled when I sent her a picture of the game’s final score)—I’m shocked. Project 2024 and the GCAM-jVN war has taken a turn I never expected…

In Rizz We Trust

Well…school is out for seniors. I have finagled my way into coming back on Tuesday and Thursday, but for now, I have time to investigate and go over documents—documents, text messages, emails, video chats—anything that could help me understand why CW3 happened. Maverick's phone pings with text messages, and I read over the intel briefings and photos of messages I have from multiple phones. And it is all made clear. 9 th grade started this war, not only for financial reasons, but for crushes. May 13 th 2024 9th grade had a plan to prevent the fair trade arrangement between SSA and GCAM. This plan was put in place so Denver could get Maria and Geronimo could get Amala. It appears that some sort of arrangement was put in place that Geronimo and Denver would stop targeting Jayla, if Maverick could get Jayla. Denver tried to get her byt Maverick blackmailed him. Removing the agency would mea...

The Election!!

As the new school year approached, I began working on Maverick’s campaign, conducting data analysis to secure his electoral victory. While crunching the numbers, I noticed that with the previous 12th grade gone, the new 12th grade would be dominated by GCAM and jVn. However, GCAM was decimated—Clarissa, Maria, and Amala had left the school, reducing GCAM to just…GS. This meant the 12th grade was now under jVn and Molly’s control. I organized a Maverick Shay 4GCA campaign press conference, with Miles presenting key strategies to help Maverick win. “As you can see on the screen, his highest vote percentage is in 11th grade, so he needs to focus on the ‘new’ 11th grade.” The ‘new’ 11th grade, led by SSA-backed Jayla—considered the most powerful student in school—would rally behind jVn’s newfound “Jaylaism.” Meanwhile, the 9th grade, no longer influenced by WWV or CW3, was back in SSA’s grip. Unless significant immigration bolstered the school’...

CRUSH WAR 3

I arrive at school, report in hand. I see Denver talking to his top investor, looking shocked and upset. “What’s wrong?” I ask. “Oh, nothing. Everything’s… okay.” Then he notices me. “Oh, hi, Makena.” Hazele’s sister is here, though she confirmed to me she doesn’t want to invade GCAM. I show my report to Deveer, telling him he has to keep it a secret. Unfortunately, he tells others, and it spreads around the school a bit, but thankfully not to Maria, who we have to keep in the dark for the experiment to work. Unfortunately, I spot Geronimo talking to Denver again, and Denver pressures me to show Maria the report. I relent, thinking it might do some good, but unfortunately, a freak-out like none other ensues—Denver looks stressed, Maria is hyperventilating, and I’m standing off to the side. Finally, lunch is over, and I start preparing statements. The stock market is doing fairly well as I head to start taping GNN, furiously changing the actors to ...
