LOCATION: Croswell High School
The school grounds are filled with students. All of them wearing the usual uniform. Girls wearing black blazers and skirts with white shirts and some in grey jumpers. The nerdy girls in black tights or knee high socks and wedge school shoes, the sluts in tiny black heels. The boys in black pants, blazers and white shirts. The nerds with their top buttons done and their tie done to perfection, the popular and arrogant with their shirts hanging low, ties scruffy and hair done more than uniform. Their crimson red ties tied around every student's neck.
All the students are in their home rooms, there are 7 homerooms, Epsilon, Zeta, Eta, Iota, Lambda, Nu, Xi. All students are in their home rooms, well except 61 students, the students of 10th grade. They're going on a trip, well….as far as they know. The students all talk together on the bus in their cliques. The popular girls, the rebels, the nerds, the dreamers, the jocks etc.
"Can you believe it?" one of the girls Annamaria smiles to her friend Amelia "It's are first trip in ages"
"I know right!" Amelia grins back "And it's lasting for a week"
"And you know what that means" their other friend Shauna adds joining her and her best friend Lucy in the conversation
"No school work for a week" the slightly nerdy but still cool Lucy laughs
On the far end of the bus 6 girls laugh and play rock, paper and scissors with their teacher.
"Paper beats rock Mr Kellet, I win" Imogen , the most patient of the group giggles
"Come on Alice, Do you want to play something else?" Rebecca, the most intelligent and by far the leader of the clique smirks
Alice, the most shy and quiet of the group smiles and adds in "No it's ok, let's carry on playing this"
"Yeah" Lynette, the loudest of the girls shouts "I'm going to kick your butt"
At the very front of the bus sat the popular girls, Amy, Edie, Ellie, Gabriella, Penny, Gabby Taylor and Lauren. All of them have stuffed their bras with tissue, only Gabby, Lauren and Taylor have not died their hair and all but Gabby and Taylor has orange skin.
"Oh my god" Penny whines "I better not have to share a cabin with any of the dorks"
Edie smirks and turns around to three girls named Cara, Chloe and Grace "SHE'S TALKING ABOUT YOU!" she shouts at the nerdy girls.
"Are you excited Taylor?" Gabby asks the pretty brunette
"Not to bothered at the moment, this is the only time of the year where I might have to interact with these losers" Taylor smirks
And at the middle of the bus are Ella and Katie, too close friends. Ella a shy and intelligent girl but not considered a nerd by her peers and her best friend Katie a natural and elegant beauty but prefers not to hang out with the popular sluts others would think she would be perfect with.
"Come on Ella, cheer up" Katie smiles at the girl she's known since she was 5 "We're going to have a great time"
Ella smiles back "I know, it's just….I really don't want to be in the same cabin as those…..popular girls. They always have boys over and I can never get any sleep because they're…..you know"
"Well if you're paired with them just ask for a room change" Katie says back to her
The entire bus is filled with excitement and talk, boys and girls begin speaking to each other. After 5 hours of a bus ride people complain about how long it is too the log cabins and soon one by one they all fall asleep. Some however fall asleep...unnaturally.
When they wake up they are in a familiar place, it's their school hall. The place where they have assemblies every Monday, but today was a Friday and midnight. The school was empty except for the 61 students and the large fat man at the front. The students are all sitting on desks and begin looking around each other. A few of them notice a metal collar on their neck but others are oblivious to it. The large man smiles at the student, he smiles at them like they're all sexual prey.
"Hello students!" he smiles "And congratulations"
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!" A boy named Liam stands up and shouts
"WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE" a generally well liked girl named Olivia shouts as well
"Don't worry; let me answer all your questions. You have all been chosen for this year's battle royale. Now I know most of you haven't even heard of battle royale, all of your parents have though. They dread their children being picked for it" the fat man laughs "My name is Thomas Jackson, you can call me Mr Jackson or sir if you like"
All the students look at Mr Jackson confused, a few more notice the collars. Mr Jackson laughs some more of them before continuing to speak.
"In a few days, all of but one of you will be dead. I know it's a lot to take in but keep listening; this countries youth seems to have lost respect for adults, for school and for law. For most of you this will be your 5th day coming into school even though we are close to the end of the school year, how shameful of you. So as punishment the government decided 10 years ago to create the battle royale act, each year a class is chosen to participate in a fight to the death. The time period you have to kill each other is 1 – 61 days"
"Why do we only have 61 days" An energetic girl named Charlotte asks
"Because there are 61 students in this class" Mr Jackson tells the girl "There is a reason you are wearing the collars, they contain tracking devices so we can tell where you are, vital signs so we can tell if you're still alive and small bombs"
Upon hearing the word bombs all students clutch their collars fearing it would explode.
"If you cause trouble" Mr Jackson continues "Or attempt to take the collars off then we shall detonate your collar and…BOOM. Also if no one dies every 24 hours then all collars will be detonated so no one can win! So make sure that doesn't happen"
The students all look at each other, some realising that they have no choice on killing their friends.
"ATTEND" Mr Jackson shouts and a large group of soldiers. They have a cart filled with 61 large brown nylon gym bags.
"These are your survival kits" Mr Jackson tells the students "You'll all get one and each one will contain some food, a bottle of water, compass, map, flashlight, watch and a randomly selected weapon. Usually each weapon is different but due to lack of supplies after last year's battle royale we've had to have some people have the same weapon, either way you'll all be getting one. The weapons can vary from knives, axes, swords and even guns. Maybe you'll get lucky, maybe you won't. You'll be fighting on an island outside of this school, the island has houses which if you wish you may reside in during your stay whether it be long or short. Now, you'll be leaving by student number. When I say your name, you need to grab a bag and leave and once all students have gone…..well you can guess what happens next. Student number 1: Annamaria"
A tall beautiful girl, very athletic and strong but kind looking, stands up first. She looks at her class mates cautiously and slightly scared before walking up to the front, grabbing her survival bag and running out of the school hall.
"Student number 2: Paul"
A boy who could be considered a geek but a very hot geek stands up next and runs to collect his bag,
"Student number 3: Theresa"
One of the girls who was playing rock paper and scissors with the teacher on the bus grabs her bag and runs out. One by one all the students join her.
"Student number 4: Lewis"
"Student number 5: Ellie"
"Student number 20: Natasha"
"Student number 22: Kirsty"
"Student number 37: Zane"
"Student number 40: Dylan"
"Student number 50: Lucy"
"Student number 55: Shauna"
"Student number 56: Derek"
"Student number 62: Becky"
"Student number 63: Kelly"
Kelly, a girl with dark skin and long black hair grabs the last remaining bag and leaves the class
12:30 AM. 0 STUDENTS DEAD, 61 STUDENTS REMAINING.
Ryan, the schools most popular boy, runs through the island looking for a house. He has a strategy all figured out, He's sure he'd be able to convince a girl to share a house and perhaps weapon with. Every girl wants a piece of him; they'd be stupid not to get in on the action. And he could use all the help he can get. When a boy like Ryan, who gets everything, the best clothes, the best trends, the best girls, the best seat in class, and expects to get the best weapon…well you can guess his disappointment when he gets a fork.
"But none of that matters" Ryan thinks to himself "Some pretty lady will switch with me, maybe I can stay with Amy, Gabrielle, Taylor, Penny and the other whores, they're more than willing"
Ryan smirks at the thought of staying with those beautiful babes when a searing pain in his stomach, he looks down to see a small arrow in his abdomen. He then looks up to see his closest friend Lewis walking towards him holding a crossbow.
"The fuck man" Ryan hisses
Lewis rolls his eyes "It's a game, just because you can't be bothered playing to win doesn't mean I can't. You wouldn't have lasted 3 days anyway"
Lewis points his crossbow at Ryan before shooting another small arrow into his heart. Ryan gasps for a second, his eyes popping out before collapsing to the floor.
Ella runs looking for a place to hide. In her hand she holds her weapon, a small kitchen knife.
"The library" Ella tells herself "I always felt at home there"
She runs but something, or someone, trips her up. She looks up to see Kieran, Daniel and Owen (the biggest bullies in the school next to the sluts). They laugh at Ella's tears and Kieran orders Daniel and Owen to pick her up.
"Aw, look at the cry-baby's pathetic weapon" Kieran laughs at the kitchen knife waving his pistol in the air
Ella begins crying some more and even attempts trying to look intimidating but fails horribly.
"I think" Owen laughs "That perhaps are little Ella, is a virgin"
Ella nods her head scared. Perhaps if they thought she had no experience, which she didn't, they'd look for someone else. She was wrong.
"Isn't it time you got deflowered" Kieran laughs , for a boy so horrible it's amazing he still has at least 10 friends.
"Can we Kieren? Can we, can we?" Daniel yaps like an eager puppy
Kieran nods his head and Owen and Daniel slowly make their way to Ella.
"NO!" Ella screams desperately "NO! NO!"
Ella slices Kieran's hand with her knife making him drop the gun. Ella picks up the pistol and in fear shoots Daniel and Owen. Kieran jumps onto her making her drop the gun; she begins stabbing him trying desperately to get this monster off her. Finally he weakens and she grabs the gun and runs away.
Three girls, one named Megan with beautiful blonde hair and a cute but sneaky smile, one name Ashley with tanned skin and black hair kept in a ponytail, and one called Eleanor with brown hair and pale skin with an innocent naïve face, run down onto the mountain where the attack, nearly rape of Ella and murder of the three boys took place. Megan stops shocked.
"Is…is that" Megan whispers before running up to the bodies in shock "Oh my god, Kieran. KIERAN!"
Kieran looks at Megan whilst Ashley and Eleanor look on, Megan was close with Kieran but Ashley and Eleanor were more distant.
"Who did this to you?" Megan asks
Kieran manages to whisper something out "El…Ella" before dropping down dead
Megan looks at Kieran's dead body in fury before turning around and hissing "I'll kill that bitch! I'll fucking kill her!"
