Player One: Chapter One

Here’s another chapter! 

~

The game is stupid. In this so called game, you live as a slave to those who are higher class. By class, it’s by grade. As a junior, I’m decent but there’s going to be others who dream for a better life. I hate to be controlling of others if they done no wrong. I say this as I love to control others. It’s how I roll, but being controlled back is pretty much being stabbed.

The lower class has to listen to all rules of the higher class. Freshmen must live as slaves until they graduate to sophmores. That’s unfair to many, I’m glad I’m not a freshmen.

This is all just stupid, but my brother doesn’t think so. 

I talked to him about it. He just went along with it. No care for others human rights. This is going to be a civil war between the two of us. Our parents don’t even know how desperate students are for power. The teachers turn a blind eye, but they know the game. 

“Why should I care? I get to be powerful. Mazie, this is what we asked for! We don’t have to be living sheltered any longer…” Caleb spoke. “We can show that we are more than just appearances. We can rule the grade and lower. Once we gather the grades, we overthrow the seniors. It’s a gift Mazie!” A evil glimmer in my brother’s eye, something I would like if it wasn’t against what I wanted. 

“Just wait until you’re regretting your decisions, Caleb. This is still highschool.” I replied, walking away from my twin. He meant well, hopefully, but this wasn’t the way to go. We should break the games, not change the rules. I’ll break the games before they break me! I won’t let them change me. 

“Hey. Kid, where do you think you’re going? You’re entered in the game. I’m a senior, you get out.” A girl with blonde locks held a cigerette to her mouth, an look that was anything but amused. Next to her, was Ace. 

“Excuse you, but I don’t play by the game. Following the rules is not forced.” The girl looked at me before bursting out laughing. 

“The game is required. You don’t have a choice, if we did, I would never play. But, I have to. Plus, I’ve gotten pretty good results from my actions. Best for the younger years.” Ace rolled his eyes before finally noticing me. 
“Oh! Hey Mazie, this is my sister. Maryli, this is Mazie. She’s new here. Junior, right?” I nodded in reply. “Gee, you’ve already read the rules and you want to break them? You’re asking for a death wish there.” 

“The teachers can’t do anything. Students can’t do anything on school property. They don’t know anything about me, so I don’t have to worry.” It was true. It said in the school rules, that as long as it’s not on school property, we can do anything. It’s really strange and a bit questioning but no parent seems to notice.

“Seniors throw parties. Lower classes have to attend. You have no choice, and it’s not on school property.” Maryli grinned at me. I sighed. 

“Crap. I really don’t want to do this stupid game. It’s unfair.” Ace nodded in agreement. 

“You can’t stop the game though, trust me. Mary and I tried our best. It’s impossible and we got our fair share of punishment from the seniors at the time. We were sophmores though.” He said in return. 

“We need a group. We could be a secret group to stop the game.” I offer. Ace nodded excitedly but Maryli seemed hesitant. 

“A secret crew! It sounds cool. Plus, there has to be more that hate the games. They’ve been here since I was a freshmen, maybe before. I think it’s time we put an end to them in total. I’m in.” Ace grinned. 

“A secret? We would be in the worst boat possible if we were found out? I’m going to hold out, but I won’t tell anyone. I may join but don’t count on it…” She replied. So, it was just Ace and I. We needed more than two students. 

“I’ll see around, we can’t be the only ones.” I bide goodbye to the two before walking away. I mean, the game can’t be that hard to destroy. Besides, how bad could the punishment be? Stopping my fast pace, something grabbed me from behind. 

“A secret group to stop the game? I want in.”
