I walked through the entree of the school, the mood wasn't that good. But things aren't what they seem like, so probably it is a great school.

Then suddenly there was a table in the hall, with two women who wore plastic gloves. There was no other way to get into the school, so I had to go towards them. I got in the line, behind a red haired girl. I saw her yesterday I guess, in Domino's.

The woman asked for her finger, when she hold out her hand, the woman pricked in her finger and dipped her blood on a paper and scanned it, then finally the red haired girl walked further.

And then it was my turn. 'Give me your hand.' The woman told me.

'Why?' I sounded confused. 'Do you eh.. like to watch children bleed?' I didn't thought that it was really normal to let us bleed, for nothing.

Then I heard some boys after me repeating what I asked her, and laughing after it.

I held out my hand in front of the woman, who pricked in it, and dipped my blood on the paper too.

She scanned it, and shook her head when the light on the scanner turned red. Red is negative, so I think I can't pass.

A few men in white costumes walked towards us. 'What's wrong miss?' One of them asked the woman in front of me. His voice cracked and wasn't that good to hear because of his white/black helmet.

'It doesn't recognize her blood.' The woman told him.

'Well yeah.' I frowned 'I'm new here, and no one else ever asked me for my blood. What do you even want of my blood?'

'We have to check that. What is your name?'

'Clove Kentwell.' I answered curtly.

The man repeated my name to his handheld transceiver. 'Correct.' The screen showed.

'You can pass.' The man pointed at the hall.

I didn't answer and just walked away. Apparently the red haired girl waited on me, she didn't know me, and I didn't know her. The only thing I knew her from, was the pizza order yesterday.

'Hey, never seen you here before.' She walked next to me through the hallway.

'Yeah, I'm new in this weird town. I moved yesterday.' I told her.

'In that case, welcome to our f*cked up school.' She looked around herself. 'What is your name by the way?'

'Clove.' I answered. 'What's yours?'

'I'm Jackie.'

'Do you work at Domino's?' I grinned.

'Yeah, why?'

'I saw you yesterday, when I ordered pizza.'

'Oh that was you!' Jackie smiled. 'With your boyfriend?'

'No! That was my brother.' I chuckled.

'So, you don't have a boyfriend?' She frowned.

'Nope.' I shook my head.

'Well, that is going to change soon, trust me. Where are you going by the way?'

'I need to go to – ' I looked at the little paper my mother gave me. 'Principal Snow's office.'

'That way.' She pointed at another hall.

'Thank you!' I smiled.

'Bye. I'll see you later.'

'Bye.' I waved, and headed into the hall.

At the end there was a door, with a name board on it which showed 'Principal Snow'. I knocked on the door, and walked inside.

...

'Uh, hello?' I mumbled while I walked inside the room. But the man, with a white beard, who had to be the principal, was already talking to someone. 'Oh. Sorry.' I walked back to the door.

'No, it's okay. Just sit down, we're almost done.' The low voice of the man told me.

I sat down on a chair, looking at the blonde boy next to me.

The principal touched his calculator a few times and then headed back to the boy. 'That makes a score of 128 now. That is extremely high.' He told him, with an expressionless face.

Well, a score of 128 had to be good right? Why acted that man so emotionless?

I smiled and said it as happily possible. 'Congratulations.'

The man looked at me. 'That isn't a good thing.' Then the man looked back at the boy. 'You can go now.' He stood up, walked through the door and shut it behind him.

'Okay, Clove. First of all, welcome to the school!' Then he gave me a paper. 'Second of all, sign this.'

I never liked signing things, and this was a whole document which was way too long to read. 'What happens if I don't?'

'You don't get allowed to the school, and we kill you.'

My eyes widen. 'WHAT?!' The flashback of Jackie telling me 'Welcome to our fucked up school.' flashed before my eyes. Now I understand what she meant.

'Shut your mouth, and just listen.' The man told me and started the story. 'Every year, we organize a game in the building of the school, in which the 24 most rule breakers of the school fight to death in a pageant of honour, courage, sacrifice and to accept what they've done. There comes one victor out, which deserves a price and immediately gets a 100 percent at his school report. The rest is dead, so before you start being a rebel, think twice. The points to get into the games are scaled in one to five, and depends on what you've done. One is a level of talking in the class, while five is getting in a big fight. Do you understand?'

'Actually I don't. And how the hell are you going to cover the 23 deaths of children who just went to school?'

'That is not your business, Clove.' He stared at me.

'What is the highest score till now?'

'157.' The man answered. 'Now, sign this paper and repeat my words.'

I quickly signed the paper, he'd kill me if I didn't. He can't just kill 23 children each f*cking year right?

'I promise that I won't tell anything what is just said.' He told me.

I repeated 'I promise that I won't tell anything what is just said.'

'The information which is given in the school, stays in the school.'

'The information which is given in the school, stays in the school.' I almost sounded like a robot, without thinking just repeating things.

'If I tell anyone about this, I give the school the right to kill me.'

I looked down, and repeated it. 'If I tell anyone about this, I give the school the right to kill me.'

The man brought the three middle fingers of his left hand to his mouth, and held his hand after that in the air. 'This is not just a promise. This is a conspiracy of silence.'

I kissed my three middle fingers, and held them in the air too. 'This is not just a promise. This is a conspiracy of silence.' I repeated.

'You can go now, miss Kentwell.' The man pointed at the door.

Without saying anything back I walked through the door and shut it behind me.

...

What the f*ck did I just said and promised? I want to tell my parents, but I can't. They'll kill me. Though, they can't go on doing this every year! This is wrong, so wrong. Why did I even go to this school? Now there is no way out. I almost started to panic in the middle of the hall, but tried to think about something else.

I looked around myself, didn't know where I should go now. I should have gone to biology, so I think I'll go to that lesson now even though it's started an half hour ago.

I walked through the hall, till I saw some people arguing.

Two boys and one girl, this can't be fair right?

Hii, sorry it was a pretty short chapter, but you do know what's going on in this school now :) I just didn't have that much time to write.

I'd love to hear your comments for the story so far, or ideas for the story. So please leave a review :)

Byee! x
