Chapter 1
Cj headed down the hall alongside Suki, Gabe and Ian, they were heading to class, Art. They entered the class as CJ took a seat next to Suki while Gabe and Ian sat in front of them.
"So we're going to start an assignment today, which you'll have two weeks to do. Students you have to create some art that reflects on your feeling at the moment" Art says as the class nod.
The bell goes signalling the end of the class, it was now the end of the day, so they could do what they wanted until ten. Suki, Gabe, CJ and Ian headed into CJ and Suki's room.
"Hey uh Suki, wanna hang out in my room, I was thinking we could help each other with our art projects, I mean it's a bit crowded for four art projects in here" Gabe says as Suki smiles.
"Sure Gabe, we'll leave you guys" Suki says as the pair get up and head down the corridor.
"So lets get going with this project" Ian says as he puts his canvas on the ground next to CJ's.
"Do you really think we're going to escape?" CJ asks out of the blue as Ian looks up at her.
"Yeah, we need to get out of this place" Ian says as CJ sighs
"I just have no place to go you know Ian? What am I supposed to do when I get out?" CJ says turning away from Ian. "Come live with me" Ian says as CJ looks back at him.
"I'm serious, I mean we can look out for each other" Ian says as CJ smiles, the pair move closer to one another, there mouths inches apart as CJ just goes for it and begins kissing Ian who returns it for a few moments before he pulls away quickly, turning away from CJ, as she sits there, heartbroken. She grabs her canvas and walks out of the room. "CJ!" Ian says getting up as she slams the door in his face. CJ sighs walking down the corridor to the observatory. She looks around and walks in. Falling on the ground as she does so, tears fall down her face as she locks the door. She sighs clearing her face of the tears and finds a paint brush and some paint and gets painting. She uses a lot of red and black, some blue around the corners, representing sadness. Once she felt done with the painting she put it on an easel out of sight. There's a knock on the door, but she couldn't be bothered answering knowing it was Ian. The door begins to make a noise, as CJ knows Ian's using the key. She heads to the floor board and climbs down, leading to the inside of the tunnels, she walks straight and turns a corner and finds Gnomes there, she turns around and finds more, she was surrounded. They begin to close in on her, now only a meter or so away when someone jumps out of know where and grabs her, pulling her up into one of the dorms. She lets out a sigh and sees Emily standing there. "Thank you! I'd have been a goner without you" CJ says giving her a small smile.
"Maybe. I want to make a proposition for you" Emily says as CJ nods.
"Yeah, sure" CJ says wiping her eyes , which were red and puffy.
"Come with me tomorrow night to join the Broken, they already know about you, and wanted you to join" Emily says as CJ raises an eyebrow.
"Who are the Broken?" she asks as Emily sighs.
"They are a resistance team to bring back Tower Prep to what it originally was" Emily says as CJ smiles. "There's only one condition" Emily says as CJ raises an eyebrow.
"What?" she asks.
"You can't bring along Suki, Ian, and Gabe. All they want to do is escape, its somewhat selfish. They just plan on leaving while the rest of us are stuck here. And from what I can tell your mad at Ian. So what would you say, when I tell you, your useless to them, we can provide you a home when you leave, all the broken will stick together, finding themselves a house. Whereas you've been asked to live with Ian? Do you really think they're just going to allow this random into there house?" Emily asks as CJ sighs. "I know, I'll join the broken" CJ says a small smile planted on her face.
"Alright, meet me here at seven, and I'll show you the way. You'd better head back, monitors. I'd just go through the hall, unless you want to go back down there with the gnomes" Emily says opening the door. "Thanks Emily" CJ says as she leaves, heading down the hall.
"Head to your dorms! Inspection!" a monitor shouts as CJ races to her room and finds Suki, Ian and Gabe there. "CJ! Where were you? I managed to get inside the observatory and you weren't there so I went down into the tunnels and it was covered in gnomes!" Ian says walking over closer as CJ looks away. "I managed to get out" CJ says as there's a knock on the door.
"Monitors!" he says as Ian and Gabe sigh getting down into the tunnels as the monitors open the door to reveal Suki and CJ sitting there. They nod closing the door behind them as Suki turns her head to CJ. "What happened with Ian? He said something along the lines of a close encounter, that didn't go down well" Suki says as CJ sighs.
"I tried to kiss Ian and he pulled away, so I ran off and the gnomes were all over me. And then Emily pulled me up into her room and we talked for a bit" CJ admits as Suki sighs taking a seat next to CJ on the bed. "I'm sure there's a good reason he'd reject you. He likes you, I know it" Suki says.
"Yeah I bet" CJ says sighing.
