an] okay, so it probably makes sense to go work on my other story, but i'm going to say it's on hiatus for now, because i'm having horrible writer's block with it. i'll go back to it eventually, but for now I will be working on this story.


The Game

It's time.

The Game is ready to start. You selected ten have one year, your senior year at high school, to win The Game. I won't tell you what The Game is, you have to figure it out. Although The Game can be considered a free-for-all, there are some rules.

The most important rule, the number one rules is: you can not tell another soul about The Game. We are the only people, as of this moment in time, who can know about The Game. If anyone outside of this group finds out, you are disqualified, and the consequences are severe.

Two: You may not tell each other what The Game is, once/if you happen to find out about it. Doing so will get you disqualified, and trust me when I say that disqualification is not what you want in this situation.

Three: Play The Game. It's not fun to come back and find that no one played The Game in the most devious way possible. Play the game, and don't be afraid to tear each other to pieces.

You get one hint at the start of the game, which is your first day of senior year. You get another hint when the first semester is over, and you get a final hint the week before the game ends. Use the hints to your advantage; they're all you get.

As Amy Alcott said: 'Concentrate, play your game, and don't be afraid to win.'

Last Winner of The Game


Massie Block
"Get with the program, little one. Everyone here, including me and my 'friends', is playing a game. And none of us, regardless of our friendships and relationships, are going to roll over and play dead."

Claire Lyons
"Oh, my little darling, you don't see it, do you? You're getting used! Now that you know, it's time to play your own game. Play the game that's been in your head all along."

Nikki Dalton
"Give into the game, youngling. Give in to it now, while you're still ahead. Because when you're my age, you'll have to have a game plan in mind before you come messing with the big leagues."

Skye Hamilton
"You would think that your high school years would be filled with naïveté and blind fun, wouldn't you? Well, sweetheart, you're wrong. It's time to step up to the plate and play the game."

Olivia Ryans
"I played dumb for a while, shorty. I thought that was my game, but I was so wrong. Never play dumb; it makes you look week, easy, as if you aren't a part of the game. Play smart, and play to win."

Derrick Harrington
"I'm in this to win this. I'm not losing to anybody, even if that includes my friends."

Cam Fisher
"I'm not rolling over on this. It's my time to win."

James Wright
"If you think I'm losing this to you people, you all thought wrong."

Todd Lyons
"It's a dumb game, but no matter how dumb, I will not lose."

Kemp Hurley
"You all better be ready to lose, because I'm preparing to win."


Ten are in the game, but only one can stand tall and proud. The others? Oh, they're left to pick up the tatters and broken pieces left over from the ruthless game they will be playing. What's the game, no one knows. No one knows what they're playing, why they're playing it, and who started the thing in the first place.
