#4 Jameson Haynes

˝ I would like to thank our president for suggesting me as a candidate and the Government for giving me this opportunity. As the president said I am Jameson and I will be your mentor. As a mentor, my responsibility is to get you familiar with the rules. ˝

He was looking around the crowd while talking, making his wavy bangs move on the forehead.

˝ As of tomorrow starts a seven-day program we call Triage. In the upcoming week, you will have different classes that will prepare you for the awaiting task. You will be tested physically, educationally, and mentally. I will teach in those classes along with my colleagues. At the end of the week, we will take only six of you that will be responsible for the assignment. ˝

His voice becomes louder, clearly stating that we need to pay attention.

˝ Whether you will be chosen or not is determined by the progress you make through the week and event called Game of challenges. Game of challenges happens on the last day, in our case Sunday. In the Game of challenges, you will be competing in five random challenges while being observed by judges. Those same judges and I will choose our group of six. We will be also choosing the leader of the group, Alpha and alphas right hand, Beta. Alpha has power over the group while I have power over the Alpha. If something happens to the Alpha or the Alpha decides to step down, their place takes the Beta. Beta also helps Alpha around making decisions if necessary. ˝

He stops for a moment to look over the crowd with hands crossed over his chest.

˝ Now I am going to give you the grand tour but I will need you to split into groups first. ˝

Once again they separated us by age. They started at the beginning of the crowd with younger children moving upward. Because I was among the oldest I ended up in the last group. We started our tour with the hall where leaders and Jameson came from.

˝ This is the Government hall. Here we hold everything to manage this project. Beginning from the start of the hall, the first doors are leading to the computer room, the next one is for meetings and the rest are bedrooms and restrooms. ˝

˝ You will be sleeping here? ˝ boy on the beginning of the crowd asks

˝ Yes. Why do you ask? You thought we will leave you here alone? ˝

Jameson turns around to response

˝ We will be staying here? ˝ boy asks again visibly being shocked by this information

˝ Yes. Will that be a problem? Sleeping beauty needs a castle to sleep in? ˝ he asks with a straight face and raised eyebrows

The crowd started giggling as the boy blushed. Jameson didn't join, instead, he just kept going with the tour.

˝ Take a good look around because this is your first and last time here. ˝

˝ We are not allowed here? ˝ now girl beside me asks

˝ No. What did you think was the use of those doors behind you? ˝ he points to the doors behind us that are currently open. They look the same as the one on the entrance.

˝ Their purpose is to separate this hall from the main one....and keep curious pests out of the way. ˝ that last part made everyone silent

˝ Now let's continue. ˝

We went across the main hall to another hallway on the other side of the room. Jameson stops again and continues explaining.

˝ Main hall is used only for public announcements. Meanwhile, this hall is the most important for you. We don't have a name for it, you can give it a name. At the end of the day, it is mainly yours. ˝

This hall is much bigger than the Government one but still smaller than the main one.

˝ Here at the entrance, we have a dining room, kitchen, and room for stuff. Now let's go to the wings.˝

He leads to the end of the hall where was a staircase on the left. One part was going up while the other went down. Each was leading to another hall. We went up first.

˝ This hall right here, sleeping beauty, is where you will be sleeping next week. ˝ in the corner of my eye, I noticed the boy blushing again

˝ 20 bedrooms in total. 10 for boys, 10 for girls. Each has it is own bathroom so you don't have to worry about issues that may occur if you were sharing one. ˝

He let us explore a little before moving down.

˝ Aside from the sleeping wing, you also have a training wing. Here you will have the classes I mentioned earlier. ˝

This wing was the same on the outside as the sleeping one.

˝ You will see the classrooms throughout the week. We don't have enough time for me to give you a detailed tour. Now go to the sleeping wing, pick your bedroom, and get ready for bed. Lights are off at 10 pm and don't even consider misbehaving. There will be consequences if you do. ˝
