In my days as a reporter, I've had to go interview and see for myself some crazy incidents. Been to some dangerous sites, spoke with some dangerous people.
Yet no previous interview or endeavor prepared me for the sheer weight of bizarre I walked into when allowed into Shirshire University.
So the sign the rumors say. I looked at the well kept lawn and neatly swept floors.
The parking lot was full, so adults with cars were around. Just that I hadn't seen them yet.
Then I saw them.
A pair of adults, surely in their late 30's, a man and a woman, probably married. Walking towards the building marked as admin, wearing school uniform.
I blanched as I saw them pass and I had to come out and do a double take.
It was school uniform. The school uniform that were on the students last school year.
My heart was beating in my chest ready to break out as I stood outside the Principal's office.
On the way here I had passed by multiple classes filled with students who were teachers. They were learning from teachers who were students.
It was a disorientating site and one that was still hard to swallow.
If rumors were followed completely the principal should be a student too, although he is the student who started this.
The intercom buzzed that I was allowed in.
I walked into his office -calling it an office is quite a stretch- that looked like a game cave.
In actuality, it probably was a game cave as I saw pinball machines, shoot the hoops, a driving game and numerous others.
The principal student himself was laying in a hammock with his phone smiling and swinging.
As the door shut he noticed me and the smile widened considerably.
"Journalist Tush!! Welcome, I hear you want to write an article about our humble institution."
In actuality, I was here to simply disprove the rumors and if possible find out any crazy secrets within the school but there was no secrets here cause all the crazy stuff was well in plain view.
"I had the premonition that we were going to discuss in the principals -I mean your office." I replied curtly, unsure of this lad who I guessed just clocked eighteen or nineteen.
"You are in my office." He said from the hammock. He had dropped his phone and was now swinging on it slowly, setting it to a regular pendulum like motion.
I looked around and decided to let go of the location and go straight into the interview. Sitting on a couch near the Foosball machine, I began.
"For institution based purposes, I'm to inform you that everything you said here would be kept anonymously and-"
"Ahh no don't say stuff like that. I want everything I said here spread to the world and I want people to know I said it."
He stood up now and walked towards me.
"I have a story to tell and you Miss Tush, would be my mouthpiece."

Local teenage boy Arim Karimsa was a nirmal student of Shirshire Highschool, that is until he managed to land somehow into the budding social crypto community based site - #hive.
Create, engage, earn. People come for the money, but stay for the community.✨
At the point in time, he had a lot of ideas, a lot of plans, but not a lot of money. So he found this site as a godsent for him.
Immediately he signed up, logged in, started posting and earning. In a stroke of luck he managed to befriend the whale @bigfish32 and got into an online relationship with another whale who was his age from Tokyo @cutecat356.
His posts grew up in value as these two whales curated him immensely, one in a way to prove her love and the other because he was just quite a funny guy.
In less than three months, he had climbed up the ranks to reputation 70, the fastest im hive history.
In a year, he was kissing 79 and after two years he was a pretty big whale himself.
Around this time, he began preaching of the miracle crypto to his friends in their classes and urged them to sign up.
They were sold to but the teachers were against it. "Read your books!!" they said.
"Such online lifestyle won't give you any real money. It's all a game!!"
The principal himself spoke to Arim and told him not to speak about hive again. As long as he wasn't in charge, all students were to read and nothing less.
So Arim found a solution to that. He himself would be in charge.
He withdrew some tokens and amassed a healthy hive provided tip to the greedy corrupted school board and had the principal removed from seat and he put in charge of the school.
As he was put in charge, in a role of clear spite he asked the teachers if they would rather enroll into the school for triple of their previous salaries or would they rather be left off.
In a shocking yet amusing turn of events, numerous teachers enrolled and now they come by eight in the morning with their uniforms properly ironed and checked by the former students who had been employed as teachers and they learned for a whooping six hundred dollars a month.
Due to the last bull run, hive was sitting happily at two hundred and fifty dollars, Arim had over Six thousand hive in his wallet and passive income brought him twenty hive a day without him pressing a button.
It might seem demeaning to some but the teachers say they love it.
A rather ecstatic witness says...
Why it's the best job. I come, learn, sometimes even sleep and I get six hundred dollars. That dream car is no longer a dream, thank you Arim, thank you hive!
So the Shirshire Highschool situation is known, my job is done.
I've been taken under tutelage on hive by Mr Karim and I use this publication to submit my resignation to the news house.
I managed to get into the $LEO token which may moon soon and I'm constantly powering up on their #LPUD.
In fact I just did now.
Who knows, maybe when it moons, I'll take a page from Arim's book and buy the news house.
Till then.. Adieu✨

Ofcourse it foes without saying that this is a parody and none of the names locations are knowingly real to the author. If there are any similarities with real life names, places or situations, that is but a mere coincidence.
