"Dear Student," the sign on the door says, "You and your entire class are invited to the most highly esteemed boarding school in London. Do not fret, a plane flight has been arranged, and your belongings loaded on the plane. Please proceed to the buses."
Everyone was shocked, and some yelled out. But in the end, they proceeded to the buses, to start a new life.
So, here is how this will work:
Everyone will get to pick one subject they like the most, and that will be the place you live. The subjects are:
Math

Would you like to be an Assistant Writer? Assistant Writers help me write the story.
Do you want a Social or Academic Plotline?; Social Plotlines are about the events and friends and crushes and that stuff, while Academic Plotlines are about studying, and getting good grades, and being a nerd and that stuff.
Also, at any time, you can change part of you character, and that will have impacts on the story.
Ready to begin?

after 40 minutes of sulking in my dorm with Ash, my phone rings. I take it out of my pocket, it was my dad.
"Hello," I said trying to hide any upset tones.
"Hi, are you okay Ella? you don't sound so great," Dad said worring
"No, I'm- i'm just a little sick, just a stomche ache," I said, and It was true, it has been hurting ever since Thomas idmitted knowing my secret.
"Oh, i'm sorry, I hope you feel better soon, most likely from the lack of sleep. anyway, I'm so sorry to say, I can't shoot the movie at your school," well this was great me not getting made a fool of, and no one would know about my dad.
"Oh no, why?"
"Well, I get to direct a new Harry Potter movie,"
"Oh Dad that's great," and bla bla bla thatswhat we did for the next twenty minutes. I told Ash and she brought out her phone and texted Hunter the news, we would have done the same with Leo, but we forgot to get his number. I thought I may as well go find him and tell in person.
"hey Cleo? have you seen Leo?" I knew his dorm was empty sice he never goes in there during the day and the light were out. Cleo was at the courtyard with Soren.
"Oh, um, I think he's in the gym with Thomas, at least that's where he was when Soren and I passed by. The gym?! I didn't bother thanking them I just bloted over to the PE torture room. and my hand hovered ove the doorknob, I was afraid of the room, I know it a strange thing to be afraid of, dont judge, I stood at the window hoping Leo would notice me, but he didn't he just talked to Thomas and the worst part? I could make out what he was saying.
"Yeah, I'm still friends with a know it all brat who thinks I have to do everthing for her, News Flash Ella, just becouse you don't like people doesn't mean you have to drag us down to out cast ally!" he said as Thomas cout my blurry eye, he doubled over laughing, at first Leo didn't get it, then he turned around and saw me crying. I cought his stare and tore the bracelet he gave me for my twelth birthday of threw it as hard as I could to the ground, then stomped on it with all my power I could manage, I shook me head while Leo just stared at me with an inocent smirk I wanted to jump through the window and slap him, but all I did was turn and run, and ranall the way to the beach, found my favorite palm tree sat down, hugged my knees, and sobbed.

(July 11, 2016 - 8:30 pm)
I text Ella in panic. It is almost 10 pm and she still has not returned. Where are you? Are you okay? I send the message quickly.
Slap Leo for me.
Wait, why? What happened? I reply instantly.
Nothing important. I... I'll be back up the dorm in a few minutes. But I'm going to sleep.
I don't try and reply. Something happened, and it probably had to do with Thomas. For all I could know, he dragged Leo into being "friends". I clench my teeth and punch the wall, hard. My knuckles start bleeding so I wrap them up and slam myself down on the bed.
Stupid Thomas.
(July 11, 2016 - 8:41 pm)
Surprising how easy it is to drag a new kid onto your side. A kid who has heard all the horrible things about me from old friends. I crack up laughing as he practically insults his old friend, Ella, as she is sitting there listening. I would have paid to see that look on her face again.
Leo and I chat for a while, and he mentions considering transferring. This might be one kid I won't end up torturing. Speaking of which, I go back to setting tomorrow's PE activities, and Leo comes to help.
"What's this for?" He asks, holding up a heavy chain and bar set.
The boy has a huge, wicked grin on his face. A copy of who I am.
"My favorite thing, Leo. Basically, I hang it on the wall. Someone steps up, puts their arms through the metal rings on the lower half and twist their hands to grip the upper bar. Then they do a pull-up. Sounds easy enough, but man, those things nearly break your arms."
"Sweet," Leo laughs and helps me hang it up. "Not something I want to try, though."
"No fear, I'll spare you the pain," I swear. "If you join the PE kids and me."
"I think I might just do it," Leo says. "Is this what I think it is?"
"A knife throwing machine? Yes."
"And... You catch the knives?" Leo lays his hand on the machine.
"Yep."
I might have just found someone I can call a friend.
For now.

Paralia~
After getting my heart torn out with Alan, I cried myself to sleep. The next day, I just walked around the campus. Classes wouldn't start for a couple days while everybody arrived, so we were free to walk around. Suddenly, I wasn't quite sure where I was. I had never been to this part of campus before. I listened closely and heard sobbing coming from under a magnificent palm tree. I quickly made my way over and found....Ella?
Ella looked so pained, I could hardly stand it. I recognized exactly what I was feeling. Silently I sat down with Ella. She said not a word, just kept crying. Eventually, the pain of it all made ME start crying, and we weeped together for a while. Finally, we looked at each other, and through our tears, started laughing.
I had no idea what had happened to Ella, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to.
All I knew was we were friends.
Alan~
After Paralia Completly stood me up last night, I slept fitfully. Finally, in the morning I knew just what to do.
I walked to the library, expecting to see Leo. I did. But I also found who I was looking for.
Thomas.
Leo looked horrified, and Thomas was doubled over, laughing. I could tell Leo had just done something he didn't want to do, but I just marched up to Thomas.
Where was the old me? The one who would have comforted Leo?
That me was with Paralia.
I steeled my nerves and talked.
"Thomas." I grinned coldly. "I'm ready to join." I spread my arms open wide.

No. NO. I refuse to go to the dance at all, lest with assigned partners. Gared brings everyone into the ballroom to go over our partners. I expect he'd call Hunter as mine. But NOO. I am stuck with some stupid art kid. Not that he is bad, or anything.
"Ash, you are with Stewart, he is a new art kid," Gared says, pushing the boy up.
I ball my fists and walk out of the building. Not another one of these dances.
"Hunter and Jessie," I hear Gared call as I slam the doors.
Enforced or not, I will find a way to get out of the dance. Or even better, completely wreck it. That'll save everyone the pain.
After all, people are put together with enemies and strangers.
This was intended.
(July 12, 2016 - 10:54 am)
I cringe as Ash storms out of the room, slamming the door behind her. Her assigned partner, a short boy with large glasses, looks at the door with an open mouth.
"Girl just walked out on you, Stewart," Thomas says, grinning. "Lovely temper, Ash has."
"Shut up," I say, stepping up to Thomas. "Not like you are any better."
Thomas mocks an offended look. I want to just slap him, but I keep my calm.
"Oh no! The little Writing boy is going to attack me! Somebody save me!"
I turn around and follow Ash's lead as Thomas cracks up laughing.
"You and Ash are brainless books," Thomas sneers.
I whip around and knock the boy in the head, leaving him sprawled on the floor.
"No one talks about her that way," I growl, leaving the room.
