Jay and his sister May Williams stood at the stairs leading to the entrance of the school they would be spending the next few years of their lives at. Around them were other students making their way up the school.
Jay set down the suitcase he held in his hand and sighed before looking at his sister, who was looking at the stairs. He ran a hand through his brown hair before putting a hand on her shoulder.
"We can always turn around, you know. I'm sure Aunt Amber wouldn't mind keeping us for a year or two."
He told her and she just shook her head. "Yeah, Yeah. I know...Dad would skin us..." Jay said as he rubbed his neck. He picked up his suitcase and took his sister's hand before beginning to walk up the stairs.
Once they got up, they went to the main entrance but was stopped by a girl.
"Hello and welcome!"
The girl exclaimed. Jay smiled a bit and after taking a second look at her, he noticed that she was wearing a black uniform instead of the blue ones everyone else was wearing.
"My name is Doku Saki! I am one of the six student council members at this wonderful school."
Doku told them. Before Jay could say anything, she clapped her hands and two other students took the suitcases from May and Jay.
"You two are clearly new here. We will make sure that your things make it safely to your rooms then we will come find you once they are situated."
Doku told them and May nodded in response. "Now, you two need to head to the auditorium. Our student council president is going to make a speech to all the returning and new students that have joined us." Doku told them before she opened the door. "Just follow the signs and the crowd." May nodded and Jay waved as they walked in.
The inside of the school looked just as fancy as it did on the outside.
Jay held onto his sisters hand tightly as they made their way to the auditorium. They walked through the school before they walked through other huge door, leading outside. The outside courtyard was filled with small tables and seats with flowers being planted everywhere they looked.
Jay looked forward and saw what looked like a mini Coliseum. The students made their way in and found their seats. Jay looked around, seeing the different students before looking down at May, who was doing the same.
"This doesn't look too bad, May." Jay said with a smile. "So far, the students seem nice...Maybe it won't be so bad." Jay told her and she nodded. A few moments after they got there, there was a loud ringing until everyone had stopped talking and there was silence. Then, a girl with brown hair wearing a white school uniform came stepped forward, a boy wearing a black uniform stepping forward with her.
"Hi, Hi!" She exclaimed with a microphone in one hand while waving with the other. "It's so great to see so many students with us this lovely morning!" As she talked, Jay looked around, noticing how many students there really were. "For those of you who don't know, My name is Emily Lanox. I am your student council president! And this cutie is Illaden, your student council vice president."
The girl named Emily put a hand on the boy and kissed his cheek before taking a step forward. "And the lovely people standing behind us are the rest of the council. Now, as you all know, it's a new year. And because of this, we need to go over the schools rules." As Emily finished her sentence, the sound of groaning filled the area. "I know, this probably isn't the first thing you wanted to hear but it needs to be done. So, to begin, every single one of you in this school has a target on your back. Meaning, anyone here can kill you with no consequence."
Jay's blood went cold as Emily spoke, a chill going down his spine. "That's right. Every single one of you can die at this school; whether it be out of cold blood or just for the fun of it. But, to help keep everything calm, there are multiple safe points within the school. These safe points include, your dorms, the cafeteria, the classrooms during school hours, the bathrooms, and finally, when we have pep rallies or other school meetings. Also, no killing any staff here. We had too many students killing teachers last year." Emily said with a small sigh as she continued.
"All students must be in school uniform at all times while on campus. Lee and Li, im looking at you two!" She exclaimed before pointing to a random spot in the crowd. "Next, no guns are allowed on campus. The only guns that are allowed are the ones being carried by the principal and myself. Moving on, If you wish to go somewhere off campus, notify the nearest student council member and they will provide you with a buss pass and a time to be back. Finally, there are multiple clubs within this school. If you join a club, the club leaders will provide extra protection over you while you are here, but, you must follow their club rules if you are to join."
Emily finished as she looked around at the crowd. "If any of these rules are broken, the punishments range from expulsion to death." Emily said with a large smile. "Now, since that's out of the way... Today will be everyone's catch up day. You will find where your dorm rooms are, where your classrooms are, and to join a club, if you want to. I hope you all have a fun year!" Emily yelled before waving again, walking away with Illaden. As the students started to leave, so did Jay and May.
Before they could make it back inside, Doku stopped them.
"Hello again! We brought your things to your dorm room, I can show you where it is at if you want." She said with a bright smile. Jay smiled back at her and nodded.
"That would be great."
He said as they began to walk with her. "You two are a sibling, right? I made sure that you two had the same room. Siblings here tend to want to be together." Doku explained. While they walked, Jay saw May looking around, watching as each person passed.
As they walked, two students ran past them, one tripping and falling. The other one stopped and turned around, grabbing his arm.
"Come on, Lee, she's gonna get us!" He said with a large smile. The one named Lee quickly stood up, grabbing the other one's arm as well. "Come on, Li, she's gaining on us."
The two quickly ran off again, May looking back in time to see a student in a male uniform running after the two, pushing May to the ground as they ran past her. "I'm gonna string your insides when I get a hold of you two!" The student screamed as they kept running. Jay looked at May and quickly helped her up, hearing Doku sigh.
"I will have to talk with Emily about those three later. Anyway, let's continue."
Doku said as she kept walking. They soon got to the dorms, Jay and May getting to theirs. Doku unlocked the door and opened it. "Welcome to your new home for the next year at least." She said as she handed them the key.
"Um, thank you." Jay said with a bright smile. Doku smiled back and gave a small wave.
"Not a problem. Come find me if you need anything else." She said before she closed the door, leaving them to their own space.
