PROLOGUE
Raven's POV
They say it's a haven for people like me, they say it's a haven for people like them, they say it's a place where anything is possible, and I guess now that I'm here, I believe them.
Right now I'm at a school unlike any other; it's called a modern day miracle even. It started as some scientific theory put into action, but now it's made its way to the ear of billions across the world. You see this school is going to house the most brilliant adolescent minds in the country alike, weather you're a girl or a boy, rich or poor, black or white, it doesn't matter, you just have to pass the test.
You see, a few months the government officials and the best scientists across the nation sent out a test to all of the kids ages 13-14. If you pass, you get to go to the school, so really the idea of the test isn't that difficult, it's the test itself that's complicated. The test is used to figure out the top 250 or so kids so you have about as much as a normal high school would, we are going to be the first group to do this experiment; we're the lab rats, the guinea pigs if you will. You start from ninth grade and work your way through like all the other schools across the nation. If the school starts goes okay with this age group ninth grade through twelfth grade then they will start issuing the test every year to expand it but if it fails then they are going to call it quits, but if you went there when they were doing the test run you can still get into about any college in the nation. The names of the school are The Brooke Mallory School for the Academically Gifted or the BMSAG, but most just call it Brooke Academy. Right smack in the middle of nowhere, but hey, when you're someone like me, the middle of nowhere is a hell of a lot better than the place I was before…
Richard's POV
This is the day, the day where I finally get to be someone normal for a change, someone who gets treated no different from everybody else. You see, I was lucky enough to be one of the few kids to pass the test, and when they told me at first I almost didn't believe them. I mean what are the chances that out of everyone in the USA I would get in?
Now that I'm in my car looking around about to go in, it's all finally starting to hit me. I mean I actually GOT IN! From where my car is parked I can see a bunch of kids walking in through the gates, the gates to the rest of our lives. You see, most people are only going to walk through those gates twice in their whole time here, this school is very private about its affairs and most stuff here is strictly confidential, it doesn't leave the premises.
The scientists that built the school were strong believers in everyone should be treated equal. So once you go through the gates you're totally cut off from the outside world. You leave who you were before outside the gates to pick up when you graduate four years later. Talking about who your family is, where they work, or where you used to live is extremely frowned upon in the school. They are trying to get rid of the whole barrier between rich and poor, so you don't make friends with who the person is, or their background, you make friends with the actual person.
You're also not allowed to leave the school grounds until you graduate, four years. They don't want you to be effected by the outside world at all. So the friends you make could be extremely rich or extremely poor and they wouldn't know the difference. A kid who lives on the street could end up being best friends with the senators son by the end of this thing!
The school also doesn't judge you on anything that happened before you enter the school, if you've been arrested before or gotten in trouble, they don't hold anything against you, one you get into the school you have a clean slate. Your judged purely on your actions from the moment you walk through those gates. Most people would be terrified of walking through those gate right in front of me, but to tell you the truth, I cant wait.
