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.

I was sitting in my grandmother's house when the note came. I was finally getting to go to Ella's school, I filled out the paper that was included choosing PE as my elictive. this was great, I hadn't seen Ella since she first started going to the school two years ago. Dad drove me to the airport and I flew to london. the first place I went was the gym, everyone says I'm so smart, I did skip a grade, but I really don't like math, I've always like sports. I knock on the gym door things seem to be going on the The window was shattered and I saw to guys whispering, "Jackson, You need to find Hunter," one said then some tall guy came and opened the door. "Who are you?" he said a bit annoyed.

"My name is Lexie Turnleaf, I'm going PE," I say he looks at me then says...

"You're Ella's sister?" I nod and he smiles, "I'm very happy to have you," he said with a grin.

after the strange conversation, I went off to explore the campus, and I magicly bumped into Ella! "What happend to y-" she cut my off and told me not to worry about. she wore a strage blue eye patch over her right eye and since when did she wear glasses? she told her friend who I was,  but I have no idea who the girl is. but that's how I always feel around Ella's friends, besides Leo, who surprisinly wasn't with Ella,anyway, I feel that they think I'm an annoying little girl who fallowes Ella everywhere, or they think I'm a mini Ella, I'm neither. I love Ella, but herfriend seemed kinda... scary.

Can I get a bit more involved? I mean yeah, sure, I'm still the nerd girl with glasses.

~Izabell %

Okay, the dance with Leo? Weird. The school situation? Weird. Everthing else? So weird. Anyway... Algee is an ingredient in ice cream. So I'm getting worried about my hen. Silent is her name. Adn for the first time ever, that's what she is. She's not making a peep. My thoughts turn to Tomas, but I would guess he's busy enough. I would take her to the vet, but there isn't one near by. And she seems even worse today. Suddenly I hear screaming from... The Janitor's closet? I rush over to see, Tomas hanging from a...fan. He's shouting words wich I will not mention, and when he see's me. Um he pretty much explodes. "Get me off of this thing!" He roars. I step back concerned. "Um, there's a-" Bang. He smashes into a mop and it falls torward me. I jump out of the way. "Are you trying to kill me?" I exclaim as I dogde more progectiles. "Might as well while I'm at it." he snickers. Flustered I stop in my tracks. "Shark teeth are actually scales." Is the last thing I say before I'm knocked over by a, um, whatever it was.

Kay guys, take it from there. I'm kinda expecting Tomas to say I tyed him up to the fan.

Ooh....this is making me shiver!!!!!!!!!!!!! Btw, I will not be posting tomorrow AT ALL, in honor of Admin Break day. Thx!

Sammy~

Thomas walks into my classroom. I look him up and down. Bloodied ankles, cut hands, tired eyes. I snigger slightly.

"Dude, it looks like you got served." I said, still sniggering.

Thomas growled. "Just give me the stuff or else."

I held my hands up in defense. "It's ready." I hesitated as I handed over the suitcase. Thomas smirked.

"Having second thoughts, are you, ya wimp?"

I grimaced. "No. It's not that. It's just....I don't know why you are doing this. Most of these kids never even touched you!"

Thomas' face turned cold. "You don't know the half of it." He smacked me across the cheek, and I dropped the suitcase. I just stared, sorrow filling my gaze.

"Well, good luck." I said softly.

 

Thomas just walked away. 

more coming later!

~PART 2~

I storm through the hallway, searching for Paralia. I find her outside the cafeteria, waiting for it to open. Having already dealt with her pathetic little whining yesterday, I glide over to her side and throw a hard punch to her ribs. Blood begins to soak Paralia's shirt, and I could care less.

A group surrounds us, all too terrified to intervene. Fortunately, the bratty rebels, Ash, Cleo, Soren, Ella, and Hunter, are nowhere to be seen. A raise my fist to throw a punch at Paralia head - surely, it would leave a concussion. With surprising speed, she blocks the blow and yanks my wrist back.

I let out a furious, pained cry as I feel muscles tear and bones pop out of place and snap. I collapse to the ground, ashamed that I was being such a foolish baby.

"Think I wouldn't fight back?" Paralia asked, taking labored breaths.

My mind is already spinning on the current situation. This wasn't supposed to happen. I was going to take down Paralia for a while and then... finish my mission with Hunter. This would delay everything.

"No, I knew it," I gasped, the world spinning from pain.

I force myself to stand up. Never, never would I be taken down by a girl in front of a crowd. I shoot Paralia a smirk, taunting her. As I hoped, she threw a punch at my jaw. Painless effort. With her balance off now, I tackle her to the ground and prepare to knock her out.

Then the most unexpected thing happens. Most embarrassing. She kicks me hard in the rear, and I let out a howl of pain and fall back, furious. I hear a group of kids from the crowd break up laughing. Each one that dare spits out that sound will pay. I swear.

"Think again," Paralia whispers, then she is gone.

No one dare follows. The crowd disperses in different directions, forgetting about breakfast. A kid throws a kick at me as he walks past, smirking. I pick myself up and head back on my mission. My wrist would have to wait.

"Where on earth do you think you're going?" a familiar voice exclaims. "Thomas, sweetie, come back over here this instant!"

I whip around and find the nurse, holding her hands out in dismay. I plaster on my fake smile, and tear up for the effect.

"What happened, dearie?"

"I... I got attacked by that Paralia girl," I whimper, following her into the hospital wing.

Hunter would have to wait...

"Oh my! It seems as if everyone is out to get you," she cries, fingering my wrist and the black eye. "Let me get you fixed up, it's nothing too serious."

I give her a watery smile as she sets to work. My wrist is bandaged up and proclaimed sprained. I won't be able to fight for a while... but I don't tell her this. Then a stinking green paste is applied around my eye and jaw. Finally, she passes me a fanny pack with ice, noticing my pained expression.

"T-Thank you," I say, wiping away fake tears.

"You are so very welcome, sweetie. Now let's go see Paralia before you go."

I am led back by the Nurse to Paralia's room. Who is the first person I see? That stupid Alan boy.

"You are all delirious. How could Thomas do this? He wouldn't hurt a fly," the nurse exclaims, giving me a sad look.  

The discussion goes on for minutes more, and I finally decide to leave. As the nurse asks me again who did this, I point a shaking finger at Paralia, and turn my glare to Alan.

"Hey, don't shoot the messenger," Alan says defensively.

I know exactly what he means. On my way out of the room, step next to Alan.

"You're going down," I hiss in his ear.

This might have delayed me for a while... but not forever. Hunter was still my target. I finger the knife's hilt in my pocket. Precious knife, don't fail me now. 

(TO BE CONTINUED)

~PART 3~

I take my knife out and spin it agility around my finger continuously. I already was walking like a proud man again, having thrown the stupid fanny pack and bandages off. I smirk at the sight of Hunter down the hallway. He was wandering the halls again. Out of class.

"Dude, where do you think you're going?" I shout, slipping the knife into my pocket.

"I should ask the same to you," Hunter says, raising my eyebrows. "I heard what Paralia did earlier."

In my head, ninety percent of this school would be dead right now. And who would be at the top of that stupid list? Hunter and his crew. But I keep this thought to myself for the meantime.

"And I heard you tied me to the ceiling in my sleep," I say, stepping closer. Hunter holds his ground, crosses his hands, and shoots me his trademark daring grin.

"Did any spiders visit you? I saw quite a few up there," Hunter says.

"More like they visited you," I sneer.

I awoke tied upside down to my ceiling fan, my room in a wreck - and I had numerous spider bites. I grab for my knife, then think better of it.

"You want to fight?" Hunter asks, following my hand to my pocket. "Because you'd lose, dude."

"Shut up!" I shout, running forward and shoving Hunter against the wall. His head smacks back, and his eyes roll up inside his head momentarily. I pull out my knife as pain shoots through my wrist. The boy's head shoots forward and hits my own. I am thrown back, a splitting headache quickly forming.

"I warned you," Hunter says, a giant black welt on his forehead.

Blood flows freely between my eyes, right above my nose. I wipe it with my good hand and roll to the side as Hunter lunges at me.

I stand up, feeling lightheaded, and press against the wall. As Hunter comes charging, hands posed in a deadly punch, I sidestep, but Hunter is quicker. He follows my feet, sticks out a foot, and I tumble to the ground, knife slipping out of my hand and skidding across the floor.

Hunter is on me now, throwing punches as I try to crawl my way to the knife. Catching my motion, he leaps up and steps on my bad hand with all his strength. I feel the world beginning to black out as bones snap. Hunter steps back and kicks me in the gut.

"You... fool," I growl, spitting out blood.

I catch Hunter shrug through my blinding vision. With the last of my strength, I leap forward, grab the knife, turn, and throw it perfectly at Hunter's chest. His eyes widen as it lodges itself right in his left side, below the heart, in the ribs.

Hunter stands for a moment, hands on the blade's hilt, eyes wide, mouth ajar. I shoot him a pained smirk as he collapses to the ground as his body begins to go into spasms.

Then the world goes dark.

I'm not posting tomorrow either. Anyway, cool! Is hunter gonna die or something? Anyway, here's my contribution:

Cleo~ I am finally released from the hospital. Soren walks around the garden with me, keeping a cautious eye on me. I insisted I was fine when I left the hospital, but he was still reluctant to let me leave. Apparently Thomas has been on a rampage lately, and has been beating everyone up. In other words, he's getting a lot more bold. There is a new girl in PE, her name is Lexie, and she's Ella's sister. Oh boy, I hope Lexie lays low, but I wouldn't be surprised if Thomas used Lexie as a way to control Ella. Ella loves her sister and is very protective of her; if Thomas threatened Lexi I wouldn't be surprised if Ella made some sort of deal with him. Anyway, as I think all these reflective thoughts, Soren says hesitantly, "So... You and Bob... Er..." "Are through." I say firmly. Now I know Thomas would never entrust Bob with any useful info; spying on Thomas is a lot more productive, although frankly, a lot more dangerous. Soren is happy; he says to me in a rush, "Cleodoyouwannagoonadatewithmesometime?" "What?" I ask. He takes a deep breath. "Cleo, do you want to go on a date with me sometime?" I blush, and am about to reply with a solid "Yes!" when who do you think shows up? The villain himself, Thomas. 

(I am going to continue as Thomas, now.)

Thomas~ 

I got a tip from Bob, who is furious Cleo played with him and dumped him, that she and Soren were out of the hospital and headed out to the gardens. Bob is certainly useful to me; he will stop at nothing to win over Cleo. He is really mad because apparently he laughed at Soren for some ridiculous reason and Cleo socked him. I know I can count on Bob to carry out and set up plans to get rid of Soren. Anyway, as I round the corner, I see the two lovebirds talking, their heads bent together. They don't see me, and I eavesdrop for a minute. However, I can't catch a word they say. So I walk out, right in front of them. Cleo was blushing, but when she sees me, all the color drains from her face. "Well, well, well. Who do we have hear? Why, it's Cleo and Soren, my pals!" I say with a fake grin. Soren steps in front of Cleo. "I thought you would have learned your lesson. Apparently not." He growls. The smile disappears from my face. I take a step closer to them. "I have connections, and the girl that was poisoned was no accident. I can get a lot stronger stuff, and will, so watch it, you two. However... You know, if you tell me who LIZZY is, or the kids that keep wrecking my stuff, and the PE stuff, my hand probably won't slip with a little something over your dinner." "Get lost, Thomas, if you think we're actually gonna help you." Declares Cleo. My eyes narrow in anger But I shrug, saying, "I thought you were smarter than that; all I'm saying is, watch your food!"

Thomas......I will NEVER forgive you. I am literally getting steaming mad. Over a rp!!!!!!!

Paralia~

When I was stuck in the hospital, I didn't do much. But later that day, nurses burst the doors open. I craned my neck to see who it was. It was Hunter.

Thomas.

Hunter didn't look so good, and his chest was bandaged. Ouch, I thought. Then I saw better where it was bandaged and gasped audibly. Had Thomas tried to KILL him?!?!?!?! This was the last straw. I began to text Alan, but he walked in at that moment. I motioned, open mouthed, to Hunter. Alan nodded grimly.

"I know. I found him in the hall, Thomas limping away from the crime scene." Alan said, loudly enough for the nurses to her him. They ignored him, and he sighed. Then I sat straight up.

"Alan!" I whispered urgently. "If we need to have proof, check the...security cameras..." My ribs hurt too much to continue. I fell back on my pillow, alost asleep, aND felt a hand slip into mine. I smiled slightly.

Alan forgave me.

 

Alan~

I slipped my hand into Paralia's as she fell asleep, but I was disturbed. Check the security cameras? How could we do that? I immediately realized how, and ran out the door. No one noticed.

 

Quickly, I ran to the PE classroom. Just as I suspected, Bob was in there. 

"Bob," I growled. He jumped three feet in the air aND turned around.

"You going to do this for me. Please," I added, realizing I was no better than Thomas if I forced him to. Quickly I outlined my plan to break into the security office and steal the footage. He nodded. I grinned.

War was on.

 

Sammy~

When I heard the news that Thomas had attempted to KILL Hunter, I gritted my teeth. This had to stop. My hands shook as I thought of the poisoness power I had just given him. 

I needed that poison back. No matter what.

Err... I guess we all posted at the same time. Because Thomas's story sort of isn't matching up with what Lexie said. And as for Gared's part, it does match up with it either... I guess we'll sort it all out in time.

(sorry people I haven't done Leo in a while...but wait no more!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I walk to my dorm, passing a strangely familiar girl, not anyone who goes here. she turns and I see her face, Lexie!? Ella's little sister is roaming the most evil hall in the school. I don't want anyone to know I'm still on Ella's side, but I at least have to warn the kid, right? "Lex!" I call out she turn and looks at me, then walks over.

"Hi Leo!" she says way to happy considering she's in the PE dorm hallway. "Um, I have no idea where my dorm is..." she trailed off. she was so innocent why in the world would she join PE. Ella would never let her do it. "Someone told me to ask a girl name Cleo, but I can't find her either," Lexie said. asking Cleo must have been a joke, everyone knows she's in the hospital because of a certain PE 'teacher'.

"Oh, come on, I'll help you," I give in she shows me the dorm number and i walk her over, I just really hope no one saw. we reach her dorm and she goes in, i can't explain everything right now, but I have to warn her. "Lex, you have to be careful," I say.

"Ugg, Leo you sound like Ella," she joked, and closed the door. so she had already talked to Ella? and Ella wasn't going to stop her? strange, very strange. I pull out my recently found phone. and text Ella, Liz, Family? gumdrop? I send and she replied in almost no time,  meet me in ten I decide to go over and see if Thomas is doing anything worth spying on. sortaish. I pass by and see Ella flip him and no doubt dislocate his shoulder. wow. I have never seen Ella do anything remotely close to that, and it was awesome. she catches my eye, which I have to say scares me a bit, I had no idea she got an eye patch, Thomas. she points and her wrist where a watch would be and then leaps through a shattered window.

"LEO!" Thomas bellowed, "Find the kid." I didn't want to know but I did, he wanted me to get Lexie. I couldn't. Ella would never forgive me, even if she knew I was trying to help her, if something happened to Lexie, no, i push the thought as far away as i could. I race off, and when Thomas couldn't see I pull out my phone and actually call Ella,

"Look, I don't have much time, find Lex and bring her to your dorm," I told her where the dorms where and ran as far away from Lex as i could. I got a one word text from Ella, done, I race back to the gym, to tell Thomas, but he might already know. he had an earpiece Sammy gave him.

"So, who's side are you on Wrint? huh?" as much as i wanted to be like Ella I was afraid, especially if Jackson found out he would tell everyone i was adopted. so i ran. back to Ella's dorm I pound on the door thinking that Thomas is following me, no I fine. Hunter opens the door sees me and slams it in my face.

"Who was it?" Ash's voice was just loud enough to hear. Hunter must have answered her because then I heard her say, "Hunter?!" and come and open the door. he was clearly confused, but there was no time to explain.

"He had... a-a device, heard, the whole thing," I pant. Ella's eye grew wide I imagine the other one did the same thing.

"This is my fault," she says softly.

"No, it's Thomas's fault, and there is no way you're fighting this one alone," I had no idea what she was talking about, must be something from last year. Ella reminded me of fire, stable for minutes, then burning brighter than the sun.

“What is going on?!” Lexie’s head popped out from behind Ella. I can’t help but laugh. When I knew Ella she would be hiding behind Lexie.

“Uh, guys? Thomas is on the move, coming here,” she said I stared at her. “Spy glasses Abby is amazing,” she says grinning.

“Ella we can’t fight now, we have to wait,” Ash said. Ella’s grin fell, normally she would be relieved. Ella gets up, leaving Lex sitting on the bed and pushes her dresser against the door, then sits down in front of it, we all stare at her.

“Really? If I can move it so can Thomas,” Ella explains. I shrug and walk over and sit next to her Ella looks blankly ahead, “he’s not even trying to get in?” Ella says confused, I knew why Thomas wasn’t trying, he was going to Sammy, to get his new ‘shipment.’

Ok, there is a misunderstanding. RIght now, the Writing students are swarming the Art room, and fighting against the guards there. That is the official story. The rest of the students are confused, and the nurses in the hospitol wing are captured. Sound ok?

Why are the writing kids swarming the art room? Who said anything about guards? Why are the nurses captured? I am confused why and how this plot is going.

(July 22, 2016 - 4:33 pm)

Okay, Gared. I understand, but what about the most recent parts past that? With Lexie joining, Paralia being attacked, Ella in the hospital, Thomas having been hung upside down, and Hunter just nearly stabbed? Do you think we could hold off the swarming a little longer and keep the parts we have here? Just a suggestion, but we've added so much past that part, and I think it will help keep things from losing order.

(July 22, 2016 - 4:37 pm)

Yeah, umm... I'd have to agree with Elmodaisy. I saw the post you made about that, but can we please put that on hold? The plot was already really strong, and I feel that weakens it. Plus it means we have to get rid of at least 10 long posts from everyone since then.
