"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
Writing
Art
Physical Activity
And no trading cards/collectibles are allowed in the school. Music has to be very old, like classical or medieval. Ok, here is the Character sheet;
Name
Age: You have to be under 18
Favorite Subject: listed above
Appearance:
Gender:
Pet(s); Max. Three

Due to recent activity, and an increase in disorderly behavior, I will allow a lessening of the rules on leaving the school. The new rules are:
You may leave the school on the weekends and Friday nights.
You must be with at least one other person when you leave.*
You are allowed to go on 'dates', as they are called, twice a month, and the school will provide 100 Pounds (we are in England) for the occasion.**
You will be suspended if any disruptive behavior is reported.***
Any questions should be addressed to me, and will be promptly answered.****
* You may be with as many people as you like
**No, I will not provide money for you, Gared, to take the Writing and Math classes to dinner somewere.
***Yes, that applies to everyone.
****Unless you are Gared.

(Quick question, Mr Herman; are you serious about the disruption suspension? Because Thomas is like, your fav student. Do you mean only like, Cleo, Ella, Leo, Soren, aka the rebels get kicked out? Gared, this is CBer to CBer.)
Cleo~
I read the set of rules Mr. Herman has posted. I almost laugh out loud at " You will be suspended if any disruptive behavior is reported." Isn't like, Thomas his favorite student? Is he gonna make an exception of Thomas, and try to expel the rest of us? If that's true, I guess I will have to start dressing in black on my night sabotages. Also, I suppose I will have to do a ton of stuff alone. Talking or planning it with friends will be too dangerous; someone can overhear me or worse, betray me. Bob trots up to me. Oh, man. He scans the list. Then he grins at me. "Guess you won't be hacking into the system anymore, Cleo." I involuntarily gasp, try to check myself but it's too late. He smirks. "Yeah, Thomas and I know all about that. Thing is, we have ways of finding out stuff like that. I'd watch my back if I were you, Cleo. Things are gonna get real dark here soon." My laugh is full of nervous scorn. I was about to snap back, but then I remembered my plan I had confided to Soren. Wow, I was hating myself right now, but I put on a flirting smile and edged closer to him. "Look, Bob, we are allowed to go on two dates a month. We should go sometime." Bob stares at me for a minute. I don't blame him; I just went from laughing at him to practically inviting him on a date. He swallows, then says hesitantly, "Well, uh, sure, Cleo. I mean, I'm quite busy, but I'm sure I can find time between all the classes I'm taking. And events happening." I giggle, sounding not one bit like my usual self. "Like what?" I cajole. He slowly grins, teasing me, confident he has at last won me over. Ha- like I am a prize to be won. It makes me angry, but I hide my anger as he replies, "Oh, things. Wouldn't you like to know? Thomas and I, though, have cooked up some great things. Just you wait. And I will call you later for the date, okay?" "Great!" I smile through clenched teeth.

Disruptive behevior while out of the school will be punished. HE doesn't care inside.
(July 19, 2016 - 11:51 pm)
oh, disruptive behavior OUT of school!!! Okay.
(July 20, 2016 - 1:38 pm)
Hey guys! Cacthing up! First of all, Ella, I don't even know who Jack Turnleaf is! I'm a girl who stays in her room and reads books on stratiegics and does suduko. Unless I'm playing with my pets, Grace, Bold, and Silent. And second of all, guys, do I seriously need to go to the dance? Could I at least go with someone I know? Wait, correction. I'm a weird nerd girl with glasses who doesn't know anyone!!! So I guess Leo and I have to meet up. Finnally, some Rping.
~Izabell%
I'm on my level 25 suduko when my phone rings. I scan the caller ID. Leo, the guy taking me to the dance. I sigh and pick up. "Hello," says Leo. "Is this Izabell?" I think a moment. I could say no. "Yes," my mouth says against my will. "Um, uh. Well I thought we could meet up since we hardly know each other. So um," I shake my head. "You aren't one of the P.E. kids by any chance?" I ask. I can hear the hesitation in his voice. "Yes, as a mater of fact." I think I can hear snickering in the backround. "Well," I say. Worry snakes through me. "Is 2:00 okay?" I hear more noises. "Yeah, sure, so where again?" I think. "The sunflower garden." He hangs up. The sunflower garden is my favorite place. The flowers are so like me, always looking up to something. I'll bring Grace in case this is one of Thomas's ploys. I'm not stupid. Besides, a nerd girl with glasses is an easy target.
(July 19, 2016 - 5:10 pm)
The dance was yesterday, but this would be an interesting relationship.
(July 19, 2016 - 7:07 pm)
Sorry Gared but, EXCUSE ME? YOU THINK I'M TRYING TOP HAVE A RELATIONSHIP!!? *breath quickly and rapidly* THIS TOTALLY IS THE OPPOSITE OF MY PERSONALITY!!! *calms down* Sorry about that, but I am the nerd girl with glasses! You expect me to have relationships? Okay, okay, fine I see your point. I guess I could try to get Izabell a bit more involved with this whole...Thing.
(July 20, 2016 - 11:50 am)
Yes, as a-
You must excuse Bob. No, I mean that Leo has fallen in love with you, and you need to get him to hate you!!!!! Reverse shipping.
They would be a cute couple...
Shut up. Sorry, I mean that to Lilliana.

(I am back, now. The RP is looking great! And the rules... I wonder...)
Ella somehow managed to push a dresser in front of her door while still injured. The "how" is not for me to ponder, though. Gared hasn't called any class today, so the two of us make our way to the fountain. The whole time I catch her up on our previous mission.
"So you... you wrecked 7598.78 pounds ($10,000) worth of equipment?" Ella looks stunned, but she is grinning nonetheless.
I nod, letting out a laugh.
"Great way to pay back Thomas, I know," I smirk. "I don't think the dance plan worked. Gared alerted me at the time, saying he was caught."
"I know, but there is next time. Listen," Ella says quietly, looking around. Once she sees we are alone, she continues.
"Someone left me a little note named as Leo."
I glare at the swirling water of the fountain. I don't understand. One minute Leo is a friend, the next moment, a traitor. Now I have a feeling that Leo is being treated as a friend again.
"Come on, tell me what is going on," I say quietly. "Isn't Leo working for Thomas?"
"Err... Well, no," Ella says, looking hard into my eyes. "He was playing Thomas to get information. I just happen to overhear. And you weren't there, but Leo stood up for Hunter during his trial."
I am shocked by the news. Leo, standing up for my closest friend? I had heard Ella did so, but not Leo. Then again, the boy seemed too nice to be a traitor.
"So you think Thomas left the note?"
"Or one of his many brainless minions," Ella laughs. "You know, Jackson, Bob, Sammy, someone."
"Then let's figure out," I say, excited. "You'll meet him at the beach. But I'm coming with."
"Let's do this, then," Ella says, pulling me up.
If Leo was innocent, Jackson, Bob, and Sammy working for Thomas, then who could we trust? Cleo? Soren? They helped wreck the equipment. But then again, they are PE kids. I just... I don't know.
(July 20, 2016 - 1:45 pm)
Ohhh, this is set in the suburb of London known as Barking. Yes, real place. And it by the Thames, so there is a beach. It is only a few miles from London, so the Principal's notice makes a little more sense.

Thomas~
PE class is about to start. Bob is there early, looking absurdly happy. Happy. I hate the guy, he's absolutely brainless, but he might be useful. To spy on Cleo, especially, who seems to be one of the main plotters. And for whatever reason warmed up to Bob. Really fast. I am suspicious, because I know Cleo is way too smart and way to smitten with Soren to be sweet on Bob, but I'm not complaining. Bob is a lot more useful to me now. I suppose I will have to be decent to him, now. Doesn't mean I can't torture the rest of them. One by one, the rest of the class shows up. Cleo is there, Soren, and others. "Ok, the first excercise is-" I start, but am interrupted by Cleo muttering, "You mean torture?" I am angry at being interrupted, but reply smoothly, "Yes, torture, is climbing up the bars. Super easy-right?" I try not to laugh; I actually rigged the top bars to collapse with weight. I knew exactly who I wanted to send first. "Soren, why don't you show us how it's done?" I try not to laugh, but my smirk is frozen as I watch Soren scale the bars with ease and drop back down. What was wrong? I knew I had rigged them correctly; I've had lots of practice. Soren looked surprised at the simplicity of the climb. We went through PE class, each trap for Soren set by me failing. They didn't go off at all! Once I dismissed the kids, I stayed behind to examine more closely. I saw a slip of paper. I pulled it out, and it said, Thomas, is that really the best you can do? -Cleo
I was furious. Outwitted and discovered by HER! I turned around, and she was watching me, and burst out laughing at the look on my face. Then, before I could make a move, she disappeared around the corner. I crushed the paper in my fist. I hated her. I would get revenge. I texted Jackson, Get Cleo. Lock her up, tie her up somewhere. I expect it done today. She just left PE class.
Cleo-
All PE class, I watched Thomas' face as each trap I had watched him set failed. He doesn't know yet, as I have been extremely careful, but he doesn't know I sneak around in the dark, long after everyone should be in bed, and I follow Thomas around. He is out to get Soren, or Ella, or Leo, or I, and I have to be on watch. After I whipped around the corner, Jackson is lounging around. His phone beeps and I linger, wondering who it is. As he reads it, he stiffens and looks up at me. He, without any warning, launches himself at me. Before I scream, he claps a hand over my mouth. It is a brief struggle, but he manages to drag me to a nearby, isolated closet that NO ONE uses. He actually finds rope! And proceeds to tie me up, closes the door, and goes off to finds, I am guessing, Thomas. This isn't good. I know there is no escape. I don't have my phone on me, nor any cutting device. I resign myself to meeting Thomas. I groan, but Jackson somehow had a handkerchief on him and shoved it in my mouth. Seriously, I thought I was the only one who carried those things around!
