As the shore came closer to his view, the dark clouds above the island kept swirling. He had heard rumors about this school's weird behavior towards everything. Hurricanes always forms near here, but it never damages the school. Same with other weather conditions and of course, same with people. When this school was first found, the founder died of an unknown cause, shortly after he founded it. But somehow, it had been passed down from generation to generation, originally used as the "New Alcatraz" but most of the jailors died pretty much one day after their imprisonment of again, unknown causes. This, however, did not scare teenagers, for they were the only ones to ever set foot on this island. And how strange did it seem to Mary, the son of the man who already possesses this school, that he had been sent.
Mary always hated how his family was rich. His Mother died trying to teach at the school because of her arrogant attitude. Always trying to teach Mary to be "proper." He hated how his parents wanted him to be a girl instead. They tried everything to make him into something he isn't. In the end, Mary won the battle, but he didn't get his name changed. But that doesn't bother him. He loves beating people up for it. It gives him a legal excuse and pleasure. Mary had been sent here because of that in recommendation of his father, hoping he would finally become the image he and his wife imagined. The ship finally docks near the port. That's right, near. No ship ever came near it, so they had to hook a bridge to get the kid on the island, hoping to right their wrongs. Mary only grins. This would be his toughest challenge yet, but he won't succumb to a stupid rumor. Nothing ever scared him. At the end of the dock is a gate, with a wall roughly 20 feet tall with platforms on it.
"HEY!" A voice called out. Following the sound, he looked up, seeing a male looking down on him with a grin. He jumps down and lands perfectly unharmed. His grin widens.
"You must be one of the freshman here, huh? Well, we came here to welcome you!" The guy holds out his hand towards Mary. "My name is Jaden. What's yours?" Before even answering Jaden's question, Mary asks, "We? Dude, don't be a dumb ass its just you here."
"What did you just call him?" A voice growls behind Mary. Out of reflexes and past experiences, Mary elbows behind him, but to no avail. Jaden caught his arm before it could make contact with whatever person was behind him.
"I called him a dumb ass." Mary answers the stranger behind him. Jaden only sighs.
"Ren, what did I tell you? Don't be shy, lets welcome the new student!" Jaden lets go of Mary's arm and pulls out a girl from behind Mary. She is basically the same height as Mary except an inch shorter. Her short pink hair is the only radiant color Mary's seen so far on this island. Her eyes are obsidian color. Jaden on the other hand has light brown hair and eyes, both warm and welcoming. Hard to believe that these two made in this place. Mary feels the slightest bit of sorrow, but it quickly replaced with something Mary thought she would never feel again. Companionship. Mary hides down a smile, hoping that his feeling isn't false. They both wear a plain black shirt and jeans. Again, very bland, but Mary doesn't mind. He prefers not to stand out.
"So, what's your name?" She asks, repeating the question in a slight growl.
"Mary." He answers. They both smile and then grin while hold out a hand outward, revealing the school like a grand prize. Some grand prize he won.
"Welcome to Jigokuren Penitentiary." They announce. "A.K.A. Hell High School."
