1 Meet the Devil

In the halls of mountforth private high a group of people can be seen huddled in group. They are dressed in a navy plaid skirt or navy coloured pants, topped with a white dress shirt or blouse and a matching tie or bow. This is one of the most prestigious schools in the whole of England and has a history going back to the 18th century. The school was founded by a man who fell in love with a girl who wanted to be a teacher. Her parents disapproved because she was the sole heiress to their fortune and they needed her to marry someone who could take over the family business. Back then it was unthinkable for a wealthy woman to work at all, let alone to be in charge of a company. Fortunately she was loved by a man who wanted all her dreams to come true. So to win her heart he founded a school for her and made it's symbol her favorite flower, the Asian lily.

He built a majestic castle like building on top of a hill near their house and bought the surrounding land to plant a beautiful garden, where students could rest and enjoy nature. As well as his wife to be of course. This gesture could be topped by no other suitor, easily winning her heart. Seeing his level of wealth, her parents had no complaints about this match either. Even thought the school was meant as a bridal gift and served as a place for the heiress to spend her free time, no one expected it to become so successful. Despite the rumours and protests from the other wealthy and influential families, the husband did not get involved with his wife's business and soon everyone had to bow down to her capabilities. Who knew that this heiress was such a good teacher!

Not only could she teach, she nurtured each child as if it was her own and believed in equal chances for everyone regardless of background. This started the saying "climb the flowered mountain to reach the top", because each student, poor or rich, that graduated from this school became an amazing person. Over the years more teachers joined, but to ensure that the level of teaching remained excellent they allowed a maximum of 20 students per teacher. This meant the number of spots were limited and to make sure no chance was wasted , only the best of the best were allowed to attend. Disregarding any bribes, political games, connection to principal and staff. Despite the anger of many, she stood by her principals and to this day people fight for the chance to attend this wonderful school.

The one they were surrounding right now, was the current heir to this school. He is a man feared and admired by many. Right now fear was the emotion which overtook the hearts of the people present. Students and teachers alike. No one knew what to do, but the student lying on the floor had no one to blame but himself right? Who told him to cross Mr. Westwood's path when he was already in a foul mood? Did he not check the message board!? Who knows what would happen if they decided to interfere, maybe they would be kicked out of this school. What would they tell their parent. No, it was best to not interfere and hope for it to end quickly.

While one of the teachers went to get the help, the other bystanders watched as Jason was punching the poor boy who bumped into him in his hurry to get to his next class.

"How dare you stand in my way. If you wanted to meet the devil, all you had to do was ask!"

He said with a sinister smile. Once Jason was angered, he showed no mercy and few people could do something to stop him. A few minutes had passed and clicking of heels could be heard in the distance.
