I have an almost complete plot on my mind (and I also made an outline of it) but I am having problems with the climax and ending.

I want it to sound "amazing". It has to be an unforgettable moment in the story(And yeah, i know it's hard to do)

I want to expose the antagonist of the byass and unjust principal she really is.

option #1:
Make the protagonist borrow a videocam from her enemy, Stacy Gray who is the editor of the school paper. The protagonist will then film the principal when she confess.

option # 2:
Make both the antagonist and protagonist enter the room that is used for announcing (announcing room?). Then, the protagonist will make their principal confess. So, the whole school and the news crew (they are there to make a documentary about the school) will know what is happening.

Problem: it's so CLICHE

Please help me by suggesting a good ORIGINAL ending.
Thanks!
 
option 2 is really good, i think it is the one you should use because it shocks the reader and is a more lively ending!

I don't know how to describe it, but it is not a bad ending, but makes us want to feel sorry for the antagonist!
 
Suggest you not have anyone 'make' anyone confess anything.

Put a 'sneak' in there. Have your characters make a plan that requires stealth and ingenuity. They can have friends help, even if the friends don't really know what they are doing. Throw in complications... a janitor or teacher who almost catches them (whoever "them" will be) wiring a hidden mike to the P.A. system...

Or a way every computer in the school shows what this principal may type... some other way the principal is exposed.

Have the wiring of said mike (or fix on a computer) be a mission fraught with unexpected appearances and, as suggested, friends who don't really know they are in on a huge exposure of this "confession."

Then let the confession occur in a way even those who planned it didn't plan it to happen. A phone call this principal makes, or her/him chuckling over it to a co-worker, or practicing an exposing speech to be made to a parent... (not that last one, but-- )... that typing of exposing emails or other write-ups on the computer.

I know you can think of many ways the unexpected can happen. If you go quite far out on the limb of imagination, sometimes what seems cliche goes out the window and there you are, out on a limb with a great ending.
Luck--
 
It sounds like a plot that might be enhanced by some audience deception, could you have some kind of twist or double-cross? Such as it seems like the protagonist - or somebody they really trusted - has gone over to the wrong side, or is helping the Principal or whoever, but it turns out it's all an elaborate set-up to lure the Principal into a false sense of security so she gives herself away?

Just a thought, good luck :)
 
ok.....
in option 2.....how will the "the protagonist will make their principal confess"?
option 1 is cooler and more of a challenge....to borrow from the enemy and all but very Disney channel if u know what i mean...

good luck!
