Welcome to this story… Here's what you may want to know, this is Skins with a Misfits theme. However, it will not recreate any actual scenes from Misfits, and I highly doubt it will be as disturbing as the majority of Misfits was. So, the only similarity is that superhuman abilities will be involved among a group of teenagers…
Other important information: They haven't really met each other at all, some may have heard of others but none are personal friends. This is AU, series 3 and 4 haven't happened like they did in the show. (And for those of you who are critical, Emily and Katie obviously already know each other…)
I don't claim to own Skins, nor Misfits. Both are each amazing in their own, and I shall only attempt to try and touch that "amazingness" with my writing. If only for a second. I appreciate anyone who makes an effort to read this, so thank you, in advance, as I'm being optimistic…
(This has no relevance to the movie "The Exam" either… and that movie was terrible, by the way.)
Chapter 1: Prologue
To the recipient this letter was addressed to,
You have been randomly selected by our board of administrative members to partake in our annual academic assessment. By partaking in such, you will be expected to: be very punctual (do not be late), take the given exam within the supervision of the proctor, complete the exam to the best of your abilities, and bring your own pencils. An I.D. will be necessary to prove your identity and to receive the exam, so be sure not to forget it.
The exam will not require prior studying; all questions are based in general areas that you have already studied in previous years at Roundview College. Do not attempt to find previous students who have partaken in the exam, it is changed every year, and your effort will have been a waste of time. There will be no asking questions once the exam has started. No talking to the others in the room. No sharing of notes, which should not be brought to begin with. No food or drinks during the exam. No sharing of test answers. No sharing of pencils. No leaving the room.
The overall exam will be graded by one staff member of the board, who shall not share your name when the results are discussed among the others. The exam scores will not reflect your transcript in anyway, unless you should do exceedingly well enough to deserve a scholarship to the university of your own choice.
By partaking in this exam you should look at it as an opportunity to prove your excellence, and the excellence of our college. It can also be looked at as an opportunity to win a scholarship, should you find that as a good motivation.
If you refuse to partake in the exam, you shall be denied admission to the college in the upcoming year. This is a necessary exam that is used to modify our curriculum in all areas that are deemed fit, all for the sake of our student body and our desire to see them succeed to their maximum potential. Coming late to the exam will have the same consequences as refusing to partake in it. Do not be late.
Kindly, Your Faculty of Roundview College
Signed, David Blood, Headmaster of Roundview College

There you have a small piece of it… I hope I was successful in making that sound as formal as I intended. Got out my inner headmistress… hehe. Any questions are welcome, and suggestions are more than welcome. Reviews are the most welcome. Thank you, this is only the beginning.
