i stole my dad keys to the school, he is the principle

I have a dark secret and I'm getting anonymous threatening messages it all started the last semester of high school I was stressed out with my exams and grades I wanted to get into a prestigious university and they demanded all A's my dad was the chemistry teacher but if you think that was an advantage think again he was one of the toughest teachers and all the students were afraid of him and I didn't get the nerdy genes I'm sorry to say chemistry was a nightmare for me and since he was my dad he demanded more of me than the rest he was the only subject where I was staying behind so the night before the exam I sneaked into his room and stole the key to the school lab I needed to practice the exercises and of course I couldn't do that at home it was about 10:00 p.m. when I got inside the lab it looked really creepy in the dark and I couldn't turn on the lights for obvious reasons I took out the elements and the substances on the shelves and started to do the exercises by 3:00 a.m. I was really tired and I couldn't distinguish anything anymore I didn't realize I'd fallen asleep until I started to smell a strong sulfur scent and when I woke up the entire lab was on fire oh my god still dizzy but suddenly filled with adrenaline I took the fire extinguisher and tried to put the fire down everything was a mess things were breaking and substances were exploding with the fire and to make it worse the damn thing didn't work the fire was growing fast and it almost reached me I was scared and stressed and I couldn't call the firefighters because I was not supposed to be there in the first place the smoke made it hard to breathe I had to get out of there I ran back home still trembling I put the key back and went to my room but I couldn't sleep I stayed up the rest of the night thinking not only could I have died but my scholarship was at risk the next morning I still smelled of sulfur so I took a long shower the memories from last night were so vivid in my head that I couldn't eat I climbed into my dad's car and we went to school when we arrived it was a commotion firemen police press everyone was there the lab wall was completely black I acted as surprised as I could and rushed out of the car to meet my best friend Donna what happened I asked her it was the obvious question then I asked her if they knew who did it but my friend said no we got to class and I was having trouble keeping it together I hid my shaking hands underneath my desk Donna stared at me but said nothing and when the bell rang she took me straight to the bathroom and demanded a confession I put on my best innocent face but she pointed at my hair and said it was burnt out she knew me too well and I couldn't hide the secret any longer I looked around to check that we were alone and spit it out she was shocked of course don't tell anyone I can't afford to lose my scholarship I begged throughout the day I paid attention to the comments and gossip to see if the authorities had discovered anything I got more and more relaxed as I saw that no one had a clue but close to the end of the day I found a strange envelope inside my locker when I opened it my world fell apart it had a simple note that said I know it was you I felt sick I looked around but saw nothing suspicious who was the person how did they know did the handwriting look familiar I had no answers and I got really scared I tried to act cool as I went back home trying to focus on the other subjects for my scholarship but I failed monumentally I didn't sleep much that night and I hadn't slept much the night before so my ability to concentrate was going down a cliff by lunchtime I found the next anonymous message inside my backpack I told Donna that I needed to talk to her and we went to the bathroom I accused her immediately she was the only one that knew my secret and the anonymous messages started to appear right after I had no time for this and I blamed her for everything she shouted at me completely offended but she would have done that too if she were guilty so I didn't let her get inside my head I called her a traitor and spit in her face that she was jealous of me that she was doing this on purpose she yelled the number of insults at me and went out crying after a moment I went out to the hallway as well I began to feel that everyone was staring at me did they know was my secret out could Donna be such a traitor what are you looking at I shouted at a boy I didn't even know he laughed with his friends and moved on they knew I was sure of it I was going to lose my scholarship and it was going to be the end as if someone could read my mind I heard my name through the speakers the principal wanted to see me I started to sweat and by the time I got inside his office I was drenched he looked at me with a worried face and asked me if I was okay I saw my reflection in the glass of a portrait and realized my hair was messed up and my eye bags were raccoon black circles I combed my hair quickly with my hands and smiled trying to act cool my knees were shaking so I sat on the chair and crossed my legs then the principal took out an envelope and put it on the desk he looked at me seriously and I thought I was about to snap I was seconds away from confessing everything but then he said congratulations your scholarship has been approved I cried I was in heaven just a few weeks more and this nightmare would be over I only needed to pass the remaining exams and that was it I thanked him and went back to my locker my dream was coming true but when I opened it the next anonymous message said you will lose your scholarship for this what it had been minute since the news what the hell was going on a group of students passed next to me laughing I turned around and shouted at them to leave me alone they laughed even harder and walked away by lunchtime the entire cafeteria stared at me when I got inside the gossip had definitely spread it was Donna I'm sure of it she knew I was the best student and she wanted to ruin my life I looked at her in anger she stared back everyone was laughing but not her I took my food and went to the bathroom to eat it I was shaking so hard I was having trouble with the cutlery I couldn't even open my yogurt I was so tired I fell asleep when I woke up it was almost time to go home and I realized I missed my history exam Oh No I rushed to the administrator's office and told her I was sick I don't know what my face looked like but for the look she gave me I must have been really bad I would have the chance to take the history exam later and she told me to go home but I was in hell I couldn't concentrate on any other subject in school and all my grades started to go down the principal called me again and warned me that if this continued I would lose my scholarship why did this have to happen now why me for the biology exam I had no energy but I didn't have a choice either I hoped I didn't fall asleep in the middle of it but when I opened my folder another message was there the truth will come out confess now the adrenaline rush awoke me the teacher noticed and started to walk towards me what do you have there she asked I grabbed the paper and ripped it into pieces it was worse when I realized that that was precisely what a cheating student would do it was too late I looked around everyone was staring at me I was going mad I rushed out the class shaking I was not going to pass that exam and now I had no excuse I locked myself in the bathroom hoping I would I donna entered and called my name she said she was really worried about me and suggested that I tell the principal what happened he'd probably understand that made me even angrier right after the last message which explicitly said I should confess she says this I opened the door and said why are you doing this I thought you were my friend I am your friend she said you look terrible please let me help you but I denied I couldn't take her lies anymore traitor I shouted as I went outside all the students stared at me you're all traitors I had to get out of there I had to go home I took out my phone to call an uber and a new anonymous message slipped from my jeans everyone knows it was you it said and that was it I snapped I started to scream and everyone stared at me like I was insane ok it was me I set the lab on fire so what it was an accident are you happy now but everyone stood still in shock why do you act surprised you knew everyone knew I yelled but their faces and their silence proved otherwise I stood still as shocked as them did I just confess my secret to everyone the principal appeared in a hallway looking pissed my office now he said to me as I walked with him all my worry suddenly vanished I wasn't passing my exams I'd been acting like a weirdo in front of the teachers I'd probably lost my scholarship already so no punishment would be hard enough and when we got inside his office my dad was there did he just find out too he didn't look surprised I'm sorry dad it was all I could say do you realize how irresponsible you've been he said he made a pause and added I thought the messages would scare you enough to confess but look at you you're a mess what my dad was the author of the anonymous messages and I thought I was crazy how could you do that I yelled you know how sick this is you're insane you made me lose my scholarship you set the lab on fire and it's my fault you need to deal with the consequences of your actions young lady yelled I felt the tears in my eyes this was too much I looked at the principal and told him I was really sorry that had been an accident and that they should check the fire extinguishers if you want to expel me okay I deserve it I said defeated we'll have to discuss this with the board he answered then I stared at my dad you're impossible I told him everyone in school is afraid of you I'm afraid of you nothing is ever good enough for you you put so much pressure on my shoulders that look what happens you two need to deal with the consequences of your actions I went outside the office and immediately thought about Donna I've been so unfair to her I looked everywhere for her until I found her in the bathroom crying she looked really mad and she had every reason for it I explained everything and told her I was sorry she said my dad was insane which we all knew already what do you think is going to happen now she asked I didn't have the answer to that but what I do know is that no one should have to deal with that amount of pressure especially a teenager we finish high school and we're scared to death about our future how could we possibly know at the age of 18 what we'll be doing for the rest of our life 50-year olds don't even know that I know who I am and I know what I like even if I lose my scholarship I'll find a way in life thankfully I have my friends I have support the rest will be revealed at its own time
