"Shit mom, I'm going to be late," Said Paula (Girl #35) angrily. "Hurry the fuck up!" Although Paula's mom didn't like being yelled at, she was used to it. Paula was always mad for some reason. The large African American made her way down the stairs of her house.

"LET'S GO!" She screamed rudely as her mother made her way out of the kitchen.

"You could be a little nicer about it," Suggested Paula's mom with a smile on her face.

"And you could talk less and hurry the fuck up," Said Paula as she put on a sneer.

Paula's mom hated the fact that her daughter cussed. It made her very upset, but there was nothing she could do. To be quite honest, she was afraid of Paula. As terrible as that may seem, it was true. Paula's mom got in the driver's seat and buckled her seatbelt. Paula was seventeen, she should've had her license, but the bitch was too lazy to go take the test! Paula's mom scolded herself for thinking that about her daughter. Paula wasn't a bitch… well maybe she was. But Paula's mom continued to think positively.

She pulled out of the driveway as Paula turned on the radio. She was listening to some of her dumb rap music. Paula's mother hated the trash that was presented in the lyrics. She would just have to deal with it though. Paula continued to turn the radio up louder. Paula's mom could barely understand the lyrics; all she could make out were the words bitch and nigger a lot. "Turn that down," Said Paula's mom as she turned her attention away from the road and toward the radio. "MOM LOOK OUT!" Shouted Paula. Her mom looked up and quickly swerved to dodge out of the way of the car. The other car honked loudly.

"WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING!" Shouted an angry Jesse (Boy #24). He rolled the window of his truck back up and continued to listen to his country music. Those two stupid niggers had nearly made him crash. What idiots. Every black person was an idiot. At least that's what Jesse thought. That's how he was raised so that's how he felt. Jesse blazed down the road, going a lot faster than he should've been. He spotted someone up ahead. It was somebody from his class. It was that dumb thug guy, Marquis (Boy #21). Jesse swerved to the edge of the road where a puddle was. He drove in the puddle so the water splashed all over Marquis. "WHITE POWER!" Shouted Jesse. He laughed and drove on.

"ASSHOLE!" Shouted Marquis. "I'll get that nigga later," He said in quite a contradictory statement. Marquis was black, whereas Jesse was white. Yet Marquis called Jesse a nigger. Quite logical! Marquis would get all of his gang buddies together and he would teach Jesse a lesson. Marquis was still quite a way away from the school. He had to walk several more blocks. He glanced over in the distance and saw a lone figure wearing a Slipknot hoody. It was that emo freak Parker (Boy #16).

Parker was walking along, his hands in his pockets. His dyed dark black hair and pale skin looked quite contradictory. He was listening to his loud metal music like normal. Parker was holding all of his supplies in his hands, as he didn't have a backpack. He was innocently walking along, when a strange car pulled up alongside him. He turned and saw Paulina (Girl #4).

"Hey I know you from trig," Said Paulina with a smile. Parker nodded and continued to walk along. Paulina pulled up a little. "Can I offer you a ride to school?" She asked with a sweet smile. Paulina was the class representative. She was a nice, friendly, and outgoing person. Paulina made it her mission to befriend everybody in her class. Even a no one like Parker.

"No thanks," Said Parker as he gradually gained speed.

"Are you sure?" Asked Paulina pulling up again.

"YES," Said Parker more harshly this time. Paulina could take a hint.

"Alright if you're sure," She said and drove off. She pulled up in front of her best friend's house. She honked her horn.

Sandy (Girl #34) made her way out of the yellow brick house. "Hey Pauli," Said Sandy with a grin.

"Hey Sandy, what's up?" Asked Paulina. Sandy climbed into the shotgun seat and shut the door. She buckled her seatbelt and Paulina drove off.

"Oh not much I just"- Sandy stopped as her cellphone started to ring. It was her boyfriend Evan (Boy #47).

"Come on pick up, pick up," Said Evan. He had called his girlfriend Sandy and was now waiting for a response. She picked up.

"Hello?"

"Hey babe it's Evan," Said Evan.

"You don't say," Said Sandy sarcastically. Evan chuckled.

"So are you almost to school?" He asked as he waited outside the school building.

"We'll be there soon," Said Sandy.

"We, who's we?" Asked Evan starting to get a little suspicious, "Are you with a boy?!

" "No baby relax I'm just riding with Paulina," Said Sandy.

Evan breathed a sigh of relief. "Ok well I'll see you soon," He said as he hung up.

"Why is he always so paranoid?" Asked Paulina. Paulina hated to see her best friend and running mate Sandy with such a controlling guy. He seemed nice on the surface, but he was really controlling. It definitely wasn't healthy. Sandy just shrugged. Paulina sighed.

Evan looked over and saw a large Mexican girl get out of a car.

"Adios mama, te amo," Said Elena (Girl #49) as she gave her mom a kiss.

"Adios carina," Said her mom as she drove off. Elena made her way to the front of the building. Elena climbed the steps and entered the building. She headed toward her locker where her best friend Dora (Girl #29) was waiting for her.

"Hey Elena," Said Dora with a smile. She and Elena shared a locker and she was putting her books inside of it.

"Hey Dora," Said Elena.

"So how was your date last night?" Asked Dora as she nudged Elena with a smile on her face.

"Man, you just have to hear about that don't you?" Asked Elena with a smile.

"But of course," Said Dora, "Now come on give me the dets.

" "Well I suppose it was ok," Said Elena.

"Just ok?" Asked Dora. "Well Amir isn't the coolest guy ever," Said Elena with a grin.

Amir (Boy #19) was tall, thin, and lanky. His body was pretty much the opposite of Elena's. He always wore name brand clothing and many of the less popular guys assumed he was gay. Amir had started "going out" with Elena though. Elena wasn't really popular, but she wasn't unpopular either. Amir could settle for that, although he could definitely do better. Like the head cheerleader, Rose (Girl #40).

Rose's long dyed blonde hair flowed elegantly as she walked gracefully down the hallway. Rose was one of the most beautiful girls in the entire school. And unlike many of the other cheerleaders, she wasn't a total and complete bitch. She heard the sound of heels approaching her from behind. She turned and saw Jennie (Girl #2) approaching her.

Jennie was the second in command on the cheerleader squad. She was a definite bitch. She had long, curly blonde hair. "Hey bitch what's up?" She asked as she approached Rose.

"Hey Jennie," Said Rose.

"Oh my goodness girl, you'll never believe it, Gary (Boy #10) popped my cherry last night, hey that rhymed," Said Jennie in one continuous spew of words.

Rose was shocked; she never would've assumed Jennie was a virgin until yesterday. "Wait a minute Gary, that nerdy gamer guy?" Asked Rose.

"Oh whoops I meant Gray (Boy #50) Said Jennie, "Their names are so similar."

"I'm…so happy for you," She said not knowing what else to say.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Shouted a voice. The two girls turned to see Bart (Boy #7) shoving Jon (Boy #32) against a locker.

"I said no!" Shouted Jon. He had had enough of Bart's rein or tyranny at the school. This was the final straw!

"You don't know what you're getting yourself into," Said Julian (Boy #20) as he smiled with his crooked grin.

"You best do what he says," Said Karin (Girl #14) who was Bart's whore of the week. The three of them along with Reese (Boy #31) who wasn't present at the time, were a gang. They weren't a ghetto gang like Marquis and his gang; they were more of a bully kind of gang. They ran the school with fear.

"I'm not letting him copy my homework anymore," Said Jon, "This has gone on long enough!" Bart's grip on Jon's shirt tightened.

"Give me your homework now, or so help me God, I'll kill you." Said Bart as he gritted his teeth.

"That'll be enough of that," Said a voice.

Danny (Boy #40) stood at a lumbering 6'4 in height. "What the fuck are you gonna do about it pussy?" Asked Bart. Although Danny was a good 6 inches taller than Bart, Bart still wasn't afraid. Julian and Karin both stepped aside. Jon scrambled away from the scene. Bart's attention was now fully diverted toward Danny.

"I won't fight if that's what you're getting at," Said Danny, "But I will stop you from doing any more damage.

"Oh yeah?" Said Bart. He pulled his arm back, ready to release a hard punch onto Danny's face.

"Stop!" Shouted a voice. Bart and Danny turned to see Mr. Walker, the school principal standing over them (well under Danny). "I'll let this little fiasco slide this one time," He said, "Now get to class." Everyone who had been watching the fight scattered. Everybody was heading toward their classes.

"Mr. Walker, why are you letting him get away with this?" Asked Danny, visibly disappointed.

"It's just a onetime thing," Said Mr. Walker. He turned away with a grin, knowing he'd probably never see those two boys again. They both headed off to their classes, Bart in Room 135 and Danny in room 136. Both classes contained 50 students. As Bart made his way to his seat, he slapped Aden (Boy #12) upside his head, just for good measure.

Aden was used to being bullied on a constant basis. Aden's parents were very traditional people and they passed their beliefs onto him. Everyone assumed Aden was Amish, but he wasn't. There wasn't really a word for what he was, just classy. He lived on a farm, and still did many things the way people did 100 years earlier. It was a long time ago, but they had pretty good ideas that Aden still practiced today.

Their teacher, Mrs. Kwan, walked into the room. "Alright class today is a very special day," She said with a smile as she turned her attention to the chalkboard.

"What is it?" Asked Valerie (Girl #46) a spoiled daddy's girl.

"Raise your hand to talk," Said Mrs. Kwan with a frown, "But I will answer that question. Today you guys get to kill each other off!" At that, Mrs. Kwan quickly reached into her desk and pulled out a gas-mask.

There were mixed reactions from the class, but almost everybody caught onto her drift eventually. They were going to be participating in The Program. Toby (Boy #35) a large football player quickly jumped up.

"This is bullshit!" He screamed as he charged toward the teacher. Suddenly, he fell over. All of the students in the room did. The instant knock out gas had done its work. Mrs. Kwan pulled off her gas-mask and grinned. "Good luck to you all," She said with a smile, before leaving the room.
