After briefly introducing ourselves, my new friends and I needed to figure out just exactly what happened and why we're exactly in our new high school like this.
"All we know so far is that we all woke up in a classroom at this school with no idea how we got here" stated Gordon. "We all found a phones that told us to come to the gym right away."
"Speaking of these phones" replied Shauna. "Right now we can't seem to access anything on them."
"You're right" agreed Leah. "It only has that message on the screen."
"Same for mind" replied Bradford.
"Also where the hell are any of the staff?" asked Harry. "For sure there is something shady going around if this school has only eighteen students and no staff."
"Fuck the staff" stated Den.
We all turned to look at him.
"Staff are annoying as hell."
"That isn't the issue right now Den" I said. "Finding a staff would certainly help us."
"Shut it bitch" Den shot back.
"What did you say?!" Gordon asked angrily.
Harry, Clay, and Gordon all started walking towards Den looking very angry.
"Hey man, you need to calm down" stated Clay.
"And watch the way you speak to a lady" said Harry.
"Fuck off you assholes!" an angered Den shot back. "Try telling me what to do again and see what happens!"
"You are way out of line Den!" exclaimed Gordon. "You better chill out before..
"Before you what camera bitch!?" asked Den who started walking angrily towards the Gordon.
"ENOUGH!" shouted Bethany.
We all turned to look at her.
"Look guys, we're all in this situation and we're all nervous here. But we can't be fighting each other. We need to put our heads together."
"I agree with you girl" stated a smiling Dianna.
"You're right!" exclaimed Laurel.
"Great, but what do we even do now?" asked Seth.
"I'LL TELL YOU!" screamed an unknown voice.
We all turned in the direction of the voice to see a bat like humanoid robot thing come flying down towards us. It was average height with a bat like face and wings, but clearly a machine of some sort. Whatever it was, it certainly scared me and a few others.
"Aaahhh!" shouted Grace
"What in the hell?" asked Dianna.
"The hell is this toy?" asked Zoe.
"Quiet down people and listen up" the bat robot stated. "First up, I am not a toy!" I am your principal in charge of this school and all of you, Bat Wing!"
"Wow, that sure is quite the original name" replied Clay.
"What was that Trivia Boy!?" exclaimed Bat Wing.
"Nothing!" answered Clay.
"It had better be nothing! Anyway, listen up here people!"
Most of us appeared to be scared, my anxiety was going crazy. But we all listened to what Bat Wing had to say.
"First up, how you got here and where the rest of the school is is no business of yours. Next up the reason your here right now is compete in a game."
"What fucking game?" asked an angry Den.
"Why a killing game of course!"
Those words startled most of us. Den balled his fists up like he was ready to fight Bat Wing, while both Shauna and Grace looked ready to start crying. Barry looked away uneasily, while Mara frowned at Bat Wing.
"What the hell do you mean killing game?" asked Maxwell.
"Let me explain the rules" replied Bat Wing. "You eighteen ultimates will live in this school and go about daily life until someone kills one of your classmates. When that happens you will investigate the murder and then discuss the case in a class trial. After enough discussing, you will vote for who you think the killer is. If you guess correctly, the killer will be executed and the remaining students will go back to daily life. However, if you vote for the wrong person...
Bat Wing stopped mid sentence and smiled weirdly at us.
"What happens if we vote for the wrong person?" asked Troy.
"Then everyone besides the killer will be executed and that killer will be able to escape from this school."
"What!?" shouted Bethany.
"All I have to do to get out of this hellhole is to kill one of these bastards and then make sure they don't know it was me?" asked Den.
"Den!" I exclaimed.
"That isn't funny man." Clay stated suspiciously.
"But if those are the rules Bat Wing stated, then he must be right." replied Zoe.
"Zoe! Not you too!" stated Leah.
"Hahaha!" laughed Bat Wing. "Oh man, it looks like we already got a couple possible volunteers for first murder! But as I was saying, yes those are the rules for this game. As for the building itself, you have full access to the entire school which I will allow you to explore after I'm finished. You will all have your own rooms to sleep in with all the necessitates. There is a kitchen for eating with enough food to last forever. Plenty of places here for entertainment and possible murders. And at last there will be the courtroom for class trials, but you can only go in there after someone dies for the trial. I think that about wraps it up, any questions?"
Everyone except Barry and Den raised their hands.
"No? Good" stated Bat Wing. "Enjoy your time at Future High School!"
With that, he flew up into the air and disappeared. We all looked around at each other nervously and scared.
"Well that was just fucking creepy" said Bradford.
"Understatement of the year man" stated Maxwell.
"Can we all agree not to give in to this bat bot and just focus on looking for a way out of this school?" asked Leah.
"I agree with that" I replied.
"For sure" stated Gordon.
"Don't be idiots" Zoe said out of nowhere.
We all turned to Zoe who was looking super serious.
"If you really think you can trust seventeen people who you never met before in this kind of situation, you truly are stupid."
"I hate to agree with her, but she is right" stated Mara. "While she is someone who I would certainly suspect, along with quite a few others, Zoe is right that it is stupid to just except no one would kill."
"Who else would you suspect?" asked a nervous Troy.
"Well Mara, Zoe, and Maxwell are certainly suspicious for obviously reasons" answered Seth. "And don't forget about Den who is an actual criminal.
"Fuck off Fatass!" shouted Den. "If anything the first killer would be that engineering nerd! He looks like a fucking school shooter!"
Barry turned away looking extremely uncomfortable. Dianna glared at Den.
"Back off Den! Leave Barry alone!"
"Please!" I shouted. Everyone turned to look at me. "Leah is right! We can't play this game! We need to work together to escape here, so one gets hurt!"
"I agree with you love one hundred percent" replied Gordon. "Come on guys, we need to check out this school and hopefully find a way out."
I know we're all scared here, no one of us know anything really. But we all have to be strong. We all have to be brave. We can't play this killing game.
