Chapter 2
Woah! Who would have thought that ten months after publishing the first chapter I would actually make a comeback and put some more out there? I'll give you one small hint, the answer isn't me! I know that right now the world is in a pretty wild state and I hope that everyone is staying home and staying safe in these testing times!
I have here the second chapter of Total Drama: Blackwing Academy, and I hope to have more chapters coming out over the coming weeks seen as I don't have all that much to do with my life right now. Please read and enjoy the story, any reviews and feedback in greatly appreciated and I hope that you all have a wonderful day.
After the shocking revelation that they must now pass an entrance exam to get into the game, the twenty-two teens were all currently huddled in the room where they had all introduced themselves. There were twenty-two desks, set up equidistant from each other. The same podium which would stand both Chris and Blaineley was set up in front of them. The two hosts approached their spot with evident glee.
"You've all been assigned seats, just sit at the table with your name on it." Blaineley explained, and so they did, the teens all took their assigned seats at the wooden desks, the chairs making rather uncomfortable screeching sounds.
"So, what are you going to be tested on, calculus? Chemistry? Ancient History?" Darnell asked, his excitement becoming a little bit obvious at the thought of flexing his brain.
"Or maybe English Lit?" Alieli grinned, "Maybe even Geography?"
"Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong and more wrong." Chris grinned with his signature smile, "We're going to test you on trivia."
"You doing the what now?" Came Sophie's dumbfounded response… "You're telling me that my place in this game is going to be determined by my ability to recall useless facts?"
"Um… yes?" Blaineley responded with a shrug.
"Don't get bitter. Just get better." Chris added with a small smirk. The response he received was a growl from Sophie but nothing further.
"Now, the challenge itself is really quite simple, we're just going to hand out these little test sheets, they're even multiple choice! You'll have an hour to answer as much as you can." Blaineley explained the most definitely simplistic challenge to the contestants. Some looked more pleased than others that was for sure.
STEPHANIE: Thankfully I've got my fair share of useless knowledge in this little brain of mine! I'm not too worried about the challenge if I'm honest, although now is definitely not the time to get complacent! I would never live down going home first!
TOXA: (She just slowly rests her head against the confessional wall) Trivia is not my strong suit… nor is anything academic if we're being brutally honest, this seems rigged if you ask me. (She sighs loudly.)
"Okay my lovelies!" Blaineley began, her and Chris having returned to the front of the hall after distributing the papers out to everyone. "Your hour begins now! You may turn over your papers."
Luckily all of our contestants have been through standardised testing and they all began with a comparable level of efficiency. The sound of paper rustling quickly filled the hall for a couple of seconds as everyone turned their tests over, soon to be replaced by the noise of pencils scratching out hasty answers.
"Trust Chris to make it all trivia about his show…" Gael muttered to himself as he began to fill in the answers. He seemed to be going at a decent pace, although it is only the beginning of the paper and could stand to get much worse at it continues.
"This might not actually go too badly." Rodrick chuckled to himself maybe a little too loudly as a sharp crack pierced through the room – Chris had slapped a ruler onto the desk in front of the joker, causing him to jump in his seat and clutch his chest.
"No talking during the test please." Chris smirked, clearly just happy to have scared a contestant on the first day.
"Sorry Chris…" Rodrick mumbled before putting his eyes back on the paper.
RODRICK: You know, when I was normal trivia, I was pretty nervous I won't lie. But Total Drama is something I know! I have definitely watched my fair bit of the show so I don't see why I couldn't scrape through this. (He nods confidently)
HARMONIA: Ah… it comes as no surprise that Chris would make the entire first challenge based around himself, although it is rather disheartening if I do admit, I never really cared to watch the show in great detail, I find it uncomfortable to watch so many people fail miserably when I'm not there to benefit.
CHRIS: (He looks rather proud of himself) I made this challenge all by myself you know, wrote the questions and everything.
"I've spotted at least seven grammar mistakes on the first page at least, and I mean… that's not even a word? Weast? What's weast?" Elora groaned, "This was written by a monkey or a five-year-old, and I can't decide which one is worse…"
"Shut up and get on with your paper." Blaineley warned, she didn't feel the need to scare the teens like Chris, but she still wanted this to be over with, turns out that watching kids write a paper for an hour, was an incredibly boring process.
The process continued for a little while, with varying successes, some people were finished within twenty minutes, and others were still furiously scribbling up until the last minute, but when a small timer went off in the room, everyone put down their pencils and Chris and Blaineley quickly set to collecting it all before handing it off to a producer off of camera.
"Well done everyone! You've successfully completed part one of your induction!" Chris exclaimed happily.
"Part One?" Therion muttered, "That wasn't the whole thing?" Blaineley's first response was to laugh.
"You really thought that I'd let Chris have all of the say on the first challenge? Especially when it was just created to boost his ego?"
"Well… I guess that makes sense." Penny agreed with a nod.
"And this would make pretty boring TV if all we did was fill out some quiz." Callen agreed, "I know that I was dreadfully bored just sitting here doing it."
"Rude." Chris muttered as Blaineley gestured for the cast to all stand up.
"While the interns count out your scores, we're gonna perform the second part of the challenge." She began to move to the exit, "If you'd all like to follow me out to our little sports field, I'm sure it will all become very clear what we're doing."
And so, they did; having not quite met each other, the walk was awkward as no one felt comfortable enough to strike up a conversation. They were escorted once again through the halls of Blackwing Academy, and out of a set of doors that led to the back of the school, the opposite side to where they walked in.
As they walked outside, they were greeted almost immediately with a large sprawling structure built from primarily wood. There were large ladders, a frame with a few knotted ropes hanging from them, and copious amounts of mud.
"Like what you see?" Chris smiled at the contestants, most of whom did not look entirely impressed with the new challenge, "We couldn't admit you into school without testing your brawn as well as your brains, could we? That would just be totally unfair." A few of the teens let out a small sigh of relief, their strengths laid in their physical prowess as opposed to their mental acuity.
"What a relief." Hyperios sighed, "This is what I've been training for!"
"Yeah that's great Batboy." Blaineley rolled her eyes, "If you couldn't tell, it's an obstacle course, just finish it, nothing fancy, no time limits, but you of course will be judged in line with everyone else, so try not to be the slowest." She smiled, but it wasn't a warm reassuring smile, rather it held the smallest hint of excitement, probably from the imminent pain about to be inflicted on the contestants. "If you'd like to line up for me, and we'll get you all started!"
They did as they were told, all lining up nicely like small schoolchildren, waiting to be dismissed from class.
"Oooh, I like this, I reckon we might just keep you." Blaineley gushed as she looked over her charges.
"On my whistle you'll go, one at a time because we want you all to laugh at those worse than you, and also to feel inferior to those better than you." Chris smiled, he looked at Tawnie who had eagerly lined up first, "Are you ready?"
"So ready!" She exclaimed, "This might just launch my subscriber count!"
"Yes, I'm sure it will." Chris dismissed with a wave of his hand, "Just get on with the course."
"Yes Sir!" Tawnie did a small salute before sprinting down the course, Blaineley pushed a small button on her stopwatch as she crossed the starting line.
TAWNIE: I joined the game so that I could make new friends and hopefully grow my audience! I just know that everyone is going to be so much fun to talk to!
HYPERIOS: (He nods comfortably) I am in peak physical condition! How could a hero hope to protect anyone if they weren't? This challenge is right up my alley and I'm ready to show the world just what I can do!
MARIANA: (She groans, dropping her head forward) First you make me use my head and now you're making me use my body? If I knew you would throw all of this at me on the first day, I wouldn't have even bothered signing up.
Tawnie quickly came across the first obstacle on the course, it was essentially a ladder, but made with wood instead of typical metal. She quickly set to work scampering up the rungs, her small frame allowing for agile movements.
"Wooo! Go Tawnie!" Clyde cheered from the side-line, pumping his fist in the air.
"Ah thank you!" Tawnie cried back with a big smile, "This is actually quite high!" She mentioned when she got to the top of the ladder, it opened out onto a platform with a set of monkey bars suspended above a safety net, to catch them if they fall.
"We stepped up health and safety this season!" Chris announced, as if he had done something revolutionary.
"Only because I insisted." Blaineley shook her head, "Don't worry about hurting yourself! We've taken all the required precautions to make sure that you aren't hurt more than just a small scratch or bruise!"
HIMARI: It's comforting to know that our safety has taken a higher priority this season, I was slightly worried about it when I sighed up to be honest.
LUCILLE: Who would have thought that Blaineley was actually improving this season by being on it? Here I thought the two of them together would just make everything worse.
"Oh well that's reassuring!" Tawnie smiled before launching herself onto the monkey bars, she wasn't the quickest, but she certainly wasn't a slouch. She made it across in a decent time and quickly moved along to the next obstacle. This was arguably the most physically demanding obstacle on the course and consisted of a large wooden wall, probably about fifteen feet in height. The only way to scale it is a single rope, requiring the contestants to hoist themselves up the wall to get to the other side.
"Oh, that's rough." Lucille sighed, "Not looking forward to that part that is for sure."
"Yeah you and me both." James laughed, "Didn't expect the first day to be this rough if I'm honest."
"No, me neither." She agreed, "But oh well, just gotta press on and see where it gets us." She giggled before settling back in to watch Tawnie, who was nearing the top of the wall.
"You're nearly there Tawnie!" Chris reminded her, "Only a couple more obstacles to go."
"Woo! Let's do it!" Tawnie exclaimed as she slid down a slide onto a small platform suspended over a pit of mud, the only way to the other side, a thin precarious beam, thankfully just in a straight line.
"If I get my clothes muddy, I'm going to cry." Penny sighed,
"Mmm." Harmonia nodded, "I paid a fair bit of money for this jacket, I would rather not see it ruined."
"Then don't fall in." Blaineley quipped, "It's not too difficult."
"I'd like to see you try it then." Rodrick joked, there was another small smirk playing at his lips, incapable of resisting a small jab.
"I'm not the one competing on a reality show, I don't need to." Blaineley responded coolly, "Now be quiet before I decide that none of you win and we cancel the show."
LUCILLE: I take back what I said, having Blaineley around is not what I wanted, someone please take her back.
Tawnie looked slightly nervously at the beam, but she has come too far to give up now. Tentatively placing her right foot on the beam, she holds her arms out in an attempt to stabilise herself so that she didn't fall face first into the mud. The left foot follows the right, going slightly in front of it, so far so good. She continues to follow the beam at a rather slow pace, but slow and steady wins the race, eventually she reaches the other side without getting mud on her body at all.
"Get in there!" She rejoiced, bouncing slightly before remembering that she was in a race, she began sprinting to the final obstacle, luckily this one was simple, just a rope swing onto the finish line. Tawnie took a running leap and latched onto the rope, swinging across neatly and landing at the finish line. Blaineley hit the stop button as the rest of the contestants clapped.
"Well done!" Stephanie congratulated Tawnie, clapping for her as she joined them all again.
"Thank you very much." She smiled brightly, "I'm sure you're all going to do well too!"
"I sure hope so." Alieli chuckled, "Although, I'm not the most physically inclined." She grimaced slightly while looking over at the course.
"I'm sure you'll be fine." James assured with a small smile.
"That's the plan." She replied with a little laugh.
"Alright guys! Enough chitchat, we've still got twenty-one of you to run this!" Chris announced, "Someone else go."
"I shall do it!" Hyperios announced, taking a position at the starting line. "Now it is my turn to shine!"
"Alright, off you go then Hyperios." Blaineley nodded.
Without a second's hesitation, Hyperios took off down the track, Blaineley once again starting the timer. Hyperios started at a much faster pace than Tawnie, both due to his larger size and more physical prowess.
"Let's go!" He shouted with glee as he ran at the ladder, taking the rungs two at a time.
"Wow he's fast." Clara noted, her eyes lazily following him.
"Yes indeed." Elora nodded, "Makes you wonder just how much of a threat he is."
"I still think it's too early to tell." Therion noted, "Everyone has strengths in different areas, one obstacle course won't show them."
"Very true." Himari nodded, "The obstacle course seems suited to a very specific group of people, and we all have our own strengths."
"Well said." Harmonia nodded.
HARMONIA: Himari is a very sweet person, she seems to just want to have a good time and make friends. A wonderful, but unfortunate personality trait.
THERION: I hope that I won't get judged on this obstacle course, physical activity isn't exactly what I'm good at, definitely more geared to my brain. Luckily, I get the feeling that quite a few other players are the same, so hopefully I'll be able to blend into them.
Hyperios had already managed to steam through the course and made his way to the fifteen-foot wall.
"Hyperios making very good time right now." Chris noted, "I'd watch out if I were you guys."
"Hell yeah!" Hyperios called from atop the wall where he stood, having now successfully scaled it.
"Impressive." Jaxon nodded, "Seems like he's guaranteed to get through."
"Maybe so." Gael nodded from beside him, "Although we have no idea how Chris and Blaineley are actually judging us, and whether these activities even have any meaning."
"What makes you say that?" Jaxon answered, a slight raise in his brow.
"Well, you can't say that the two of them are known for being straightforward. I feel like everything they say shouldn't be taken at face value, that's for sure."
"Probably for the best." Jaxon conceded, "But don't overthink, overthinking can lead to disaster."
"Also very true." Gael laughed, "I suppose as with all things, we're just looking for a good balance."
"I concur." Jaxon smiled too.
JAXON: Gael is very astute, and a very compelling speaker, I find it interesting to talk to him, he sees the world in a similar way to myself.
Hyperios by this point had already swung over the pit and had crossed the finished line to a nodding Blaineley
"Well done Hyperios. A decent time." She informed him with a smile.
"Great! Will I get to know my time?"
"Not until the end." She shrugged, "Don't want to kill the suspense immediately, makes for some bad viewing."
"Darn." He snapped his fingers slightly before walking back to the group.
"Okay next!" Chris called and Sophie was the one who came to the front.
"Let's get this other with." She sighed, taking a spot on the starting line.
"Sure, whatever works." Chris shrugged, "Now go!" Sophie took off as Blaineley pressed the button on her stopwatch.
"You know, this is gonna take a really long time." Toxa noted, "Do we have to stand here all day?"
"Yes." Chris noted with a nod.
"Damn." Toxa groaned.
CHRIS: Yeah, we know that this would be the most incredibly boring watch, just seeing everyone doing the same obstacle course over and over and over again. Yawn am I right?! So don't worry, we've just created this fun little highlight reel for you! Roll the tape!
We see Sophie struggling to climb up the wall due to her small height, expletives running rife from her mouth.
Darnell falls off the beam and gets himself a face full of mud.
Toxa manages to quickly scale the ladder but falls off of the monkey bars and lands in the safety net with a small plop.
Gael deftly walks across the balance beam with relative ease.
Elora swings calmly across the rope, landing with a neat little curtsey.
Stephanie finds himself stuck on the rope swing, unable to move one way or another. Blaineley has to come and hook him over to the other side.
Lucille seems to be a little bit cautious before climbing the wall.
Jaxon swings confidently along the monkey bars, calm confidence on his face.
Alieli uses her slightly larger height to smoothly climb the wooden ladder.
Rodrick has somehow found himself hanging off of balance beam, just barely above the mud below.
Harmonia looks very composed as she climbs up the wall, if she is struggling, she gives nothing away.
Therion accidently trips and falls down just before the ladder and the obstacle course has even begun.
Clara isn't paying attention as she runs over the finish line and barrels into Blaineley, who does not look the most pleased at it.
Callen takes the rope swing with just one hand; his bravado lands him face first into the safety net.
Himari has a smile on her face, even after she dragged herself out of the mud.
James has a look of severe concentration on his face as he tries to climb the rope wall.
Penny looks nervous as she teeters on the balance beam, careful not to have the same fate as some of the others.
Clyde gives a wink to everyone as he stands atop the rope wall, only to fall down the slide and land on the platform below with a thud. He gives a small thumbs up to indicate that he's alright.
Mariana is just walking through the obstacle course; she's not making mistakes but she's definitely not trying very hard.
And finally, Patrick is seen crossing the finish line and letting out a large sigh of relief.
"Well done everyone!" Chris congratulated, "You've all just completed your first ever Total Drama Challenge! Exciting!"
"I'm thrilled." Darnell replies with a face still slightly covered in mud.
"Don't look so down!" Himari said beside him with a laugh, her face also rather muddy, "It's very good for your skin!"
"Chris is right! That's your first challenge over and done with! Let's just hope that it isn't the last huh?" Blaineley smirked with a clipboard that revealed all of their times, still hidden from the contestants. Her words immediately put a feeling of worry and a look of apprehension on many of the contestants faces.
"Now when I call your name please stand over on my left, on the blue rug." Chris announced, holding a list, presumably with the contestants' names. "Harmonia, Elora, Himari, Lucy, Toxa, Sophie, Darnell, Gael, Jaxon, Therion and Callen."
Doing as they were told; the eleven contestants began walking over to the blue rug together in a small unit.
"So that means that Stephanie, Mariana, Penny, Tawnie, Alieli, Clara, Hyperios, Rodrick, Clyde, James, Patrick." Chris continued reading off of his list. "Will stand over there on the yellow rug to my right."
The other eleven contestants began their move over to the yellow rug, the astute among them have probably figured out that they were in fact, perfectly split in half.
"As I'm sure you can see, you're split perfectly, eleven and eleven, which, if you're savvy, you'll know that you've just been set into teams." Blaineley announced with a large smile. "On the blue rug here on the left, you eleven have been dubbed the Victorious Valedictorians." Blaineley threw them a bag which held badges, each one was a blue shield which had a small graduate cap emblazoned on it, which was caught by Toxa
"And those of you on the right." Chris began, "You're the Failing Flunkies, well done!" He threw them their own bag, this one held a group of yellow badges, these ones emblazoned with a nice F on it. It was caught by Rodrick who began handing them out to his teammates. All the contestants fastened the badges to the lapel of their blazers, quickly identifying who is on what team.
ELORA: It is no surprise that I am on the Valedictorian team, I am after all, perfect when it comes to school.
CALLEN: Being a valedictorian is good. (He gives a bright smile to the camera) And my team seems pretty solid, I'm sure that we'll get along just fine.
HYPERIOS: I really think that I did better than just being a failure you know. I put in one of the best times on that obstacle course I know it! But it doesn't matter! Adversity and being misunderstood are just natural parts of my life as a hero, so I shall persevere with no problem!
ALIELI: (She laughs quite joyfully) Being a flunky actually feels quite fun! I suppose being on the valedictorian would put a lot of pressure on you to perform well, and that's not something that I'm going to have to deal with, ideal if I do say so myself.
"So… who is leaving us?" Darnell asked nervously, biting his lip in anticipation.
"Oh that." Chris laughed, "Yeah none of you. We were just pulling your leg for a bit of drama."
"Do you want to have a fight McLean?!" Sophie cried, raising her fist in indignation.
"Yeah, if you do want to go home first." Chris goaded; he clearly wasn't scared of the small girl. Sophie just growled back at him but relented, leaving Chris to smile triumphantly. "That's what I thought."
"But what about our scores?" Hyperios asked, raising his hand like you would in a classroom.
"Well, those are for me to know, and for you not to worry about, they don't matter anyway." Chris responded coolly.
BLAINELEY: The real reason is that I forgot to write down everyone's scores, but they don't need to know that. (She winces slightly at her own mistake)
"So, I suppose all that's left is for you all to properly move into the academy, because starting from tomorrow, I can promise you that the game starts for real." Blaineley noted before dismissing the contestants. "Go on, get unpacked in the dorms, school starts at 9AM tomorrow morning."
At her words, the contestants began to walk back towards the academy, still unsure of groups to break into, they all seemed to walk in their teams as large masses moving towards their dorms.
(Boys' Dorm)
All eleven boys had moved into their dorm which consisted of bunk beds lined up in two rows of five with one single bed placed at the end of the room. Now came the awkward moment of choosing your bunk partner, potentially your friend for the entirety of the game.
"So… is there anyone who wants the single bed?" Clyde asked innocently.
"If you wouldn't mind." Darnell added, "I would definitely prefer the single bed."
"Makes no difference to me." James shrugged.
"Okay cool!" With that, Darnell dragged his suitcase over to his single bed and began to unpack quietly.
"Wanna pair up?" Jaxon asked Gael, clearly building off of the small relationship that they built during the challenge.
"Sure thing dude." Gael replied taking the bottom bunk while Jaxon threw himself onto the top bunk.
"Well I'm calling a top bunk." Rodrick called before jumping up onto the top of a bunk bed with a loud flop.
"If you break that bed, you're not sharing mine." Clyde laughed as he took the bed below him, "I hope you don't mind?"
"Damn there goes my plan!" He snapped his fingers and made a small sound of slight disappoint which garnered a couple of laughs from his competitors.
"I shall take a top bunk, so that I may jump down upon our foes should they ambush us!" Hyperios exclaimed with a smile.
"Then I think that I might just take the bunk underneath you, sounds safe." Stephanie laughed, placing his suitcase on the floor next to the new bunk he shared with Hyperios. The remaining for looked at each other, slightly awkward energy in the air.
"Therion, want to um… bunk together?" James asked Therion nervously, both boys were not the most socially adept, but they had a shared interest in gaming that made them seem well suited to bunk together.
"Alright." Therion noted, he took the lower bunk while James climbed into the top bunk, this left Patrick and Callen to look at each other, Callen gave a bright smile which Patrick returned, albeit not as full of enthusiasm. Callen took the top bunk, whilst Patrick set himself up on the bottom.
"Are we all excited?" Callen asked the room, clearly hoping to inspire some conversation between them all.
"I am actually!" Stephanie started, "Now that I know we all get to at least survive the first episode is nice, going home before the game has even started sounded horrible."
"I think I would've cried." Rodrick laughed from his bunk, "Not a good look on reality television I don't think." He got a couple of laughs from other people around him.
"I wouldn't have been able to show my face back home if I had gone home on the first day." Jaxon added, his tone flat and lacking much emotion.
"But we all made it through! Well done guys, here's to a great season." Clyde announced, raising an imaginary glass in a toast to themselves, the others soon followed suit. The feeling in the boys' trailer was warm and full of camaraderie.
DARNELL: The boys' trailer feels very calm tonight, I reckon that even though we're on different teams, we might just be friends for life.
RODRICK: I like the boys trailer a lot! They seem like they're up for a laugh which is absolutely crucial for us to have a good time! So far so good!
THERION: I'm sharing a bunk with James Alvera! I watch his streams all the time, and for him to actually ask me to bunk with him. It's insane! This might just be a good summer anyway.
(Girls' Trailer)
The girls were facing a similar predicament, unsure of who should have the single bed and who to even bunk with. Although, unlike the boys, there were some girls who weren't afraid to assert themselves.
"I'm taking the single bed." Sophie said, sitting down and spreading herself over the bed without anyone being able to give her a second glance.
"Thanks for asking the rest of us." Toxa rolled her eyes at the girl before putting herself in a bottom bunk.
"Why bother when I was going to take it anyway?" Sophie retorted quickly.
"Can we not fight on the first night?" Lucille asked with a frown, "You're going to ruin the experience for everyone."
"I agree, it puts a dampener on the whole mood of the place. And no one wants to feel rubbish while they play the whole game." Penny echoed, the two share a look of solidarity and seem to agree in that moment that they would share a bed, Penny on the top bunk and Lucille on the bottom.
"Mind if I take the top bunk Toxa?" Tawnie asked the girl with dark violet hair.
"Yeah sure, go for it girl." She shrugged, clearly unbothered by who her bunkmate is. With the affirmation Tawnie clambered up into the top bunk and watched the other girls begin to decide.
"I would like a bottom bunk." Harmonia announced, taking the one by the door, "I'm sure that will be fine with the rest of you?" Of course, no one felt brave enough to fight her claim, either that or they really just didn't care.
"I'm taking a bottom bunk too, climbing a ladder every time just sounds like so much effort." Mariana grumbled as she got herself neatly into a bottom bunk before falling asleep almost immediately, still dressed in her uniform.
"Well I think that a top bunk would be perfect!" Clara called as she climbed into the bunk above Mariana, when she got up there, she pulled out a notebook and began scribbling into it about something or another.
"Mind if I take the last bottom bunk?" Elora asked the two other girls, Alieli and Himari, the two of them shook their heads and allowed Elora to get settled in.
"So which bunk do you want?" Alieli asked Himari, the girl seemed to think for a moment before deciding.
"I think I'll go above Harmonia, if that's alright with you." She replied with a smile
"That's absolutely fine. Looks like we're bunk buddies Elora!" came Alieli's response. She quickly climbed into her bunk while Himari did the same. And there it was, the girls had also managed to get themselves sorted out, although the vibe of the room was much colder than it was in the boys' dorm.
PENNY: It makes me really sad to see everyone fighting already on day one, we barely know each other, and people are already finding reasons to dig and bring others down, it's not the vibe that I wanted in my game.
SOPHIE: I don't care if people think I'm abrasive or whatever, at the end of the day I'm here to win money, not to be your best friend so that we can have tea and cakes. If you want to make friends, go join a knitting circle.
HIMARI: I like that I'm bunking with Harmonia, although we don't know each other, there is that almost unspoken understanding that we come from the same background and culture, so we at least understand each other there. I hope that it means we'll be fast friends.
(The Principal's Office)
Chris and Blaineley are sat at matching chairs, sharing a rather large antique wooden desk. It has a professional and powerful aura around it.
"So there you have it people, our twenty-two contestants have all got themselves settled into the academy ready to start class in the morning. I must say that I am painfully excited." Blaineley smiled, delivering the outro to the camera.
"And with relationships and rivalries already forming, it looks like we're in for a very interesting and dynamic season, full of love, drama, and a truck load of surprises." Chris continued.
"Will Sophie be able to prove her worth as a strong competitor despite her grating behaviour?" Blaineley asked
"Will Therion be able to survive with his idol sleeping just five feet away from him?" Chris asked closely afterwards.
"Will the Valedictorians live up to their name and win the first challenge?"
"And who will be the first person eliminated?" The two of them looked at each other with small smirks on their lips.
"Find out all of this and more, next time, on Total!" Blaineley began
"Drama!" Chris followed.
"Blackwing Academy!" The two of them spoke together as the screen went to black.
There we go! That's the first episode done! It felt real cheap to have a character go home on the first episode so as you can all see, all twenty-two contestants are living on to fight another day. Although the same cannot be said for the chapters to come! I hope you all enjoyed it and leave a review if you did because it makes my day that much brighter xx
Peace and Love
