ELIMINATIONS (Where It Begins)

It's been a week and everything seems-- to be honest nothing seems to be normal normal since those two moved in. Zayn was acting normal and was no sus about the two at all, which makes two of us.

I kinda rolled with it and absolutely ignored some of the changes that I wasn't used to. Andy hangs out with Stellan more often. I'm still trying to cheer Zayn up tho, but it's not really working out. I sat with Keesh yesterday at lunch while Zayn and Rish was assignedwith cleaning duty. We talked about how we can cheer up Zayn, and we didn't have any luck with it.

It's now 2:40 and our first sub teacher is no where to be found. All of us had no choice but to be quiet when we heard about eliminations is being heald a monthearlier which means it starts today. Let me start over. Cedleslian College, the school that holds almost half of the county's smartest students. You have to get atleast 92% to get in, tight rules are present inside.

All of the students get a black clover card that serves as our ID, each and everyone gets a code. For example, the lower the number the higher the ranking. The only good thing about this school is that it isn't bias, it's open for people who used to went to public or private schools.

One or two students get eliminated every three months. The eliminations works like this: let's say you get 95+ grades on every subject exept one, let's say yourlowest is 93 and your last highest grade is 94. You get eliminated. In short your past highest score must be your lowest for the next three months in order not to get eliminated. Eliminations is a huge deal here since if you do get eliminated means you get kicked out of the school. Those who surpass their past will proceed

to a new room with those who managed as well.

MRS GOLEZ: Those who will be called stand.

Everyone starts to sweat, most of them are shaking. I turned to Stellan's direction assuming he'll be surprised since this is the first time he'll be hearing the word "Haijo Suru." or if he studied Japanese he'll get confused of what will Mrs. Golez mean. The thing is about this school it keeps everything private from the public, even the eliminations.

If the student that got eliminated or has bad moral records they'll send their guardians a letter that consist a rule they didn't broke but said they did in order to cover the real reason. It's harsh, yes but it's kinda how it work.

RISH: Hey, your spacing out. You okay?

CZARINA: Yeah, i'm good.

Mrs. Golex cleared her throat and looked at some students including me, she then looks at Stellan. I kept on staring at him thinking "why is he so calm?" and so does our other classmates. All eyes were at him assuming he'll get called first since he's been running away and kept quiet looking at the window with no participation for two and a half weeks.

MRS. GOLEZ: Layrion Lay Ross, Andrei Lee Lazar, Kaizer Luca Stellan, Zayn Marry Lee hmmm... This is unexpected, Czarina Indigo Morales Stallin.

BINGO.

We all remain seated. Everyone looks so confused, well I guess it's times up. Stellan turned and look, he smirks as he stood up. Everyone looks pale from

probably thinking that there's a 50/50 chance that we're the only people that will advance or will be eliminated.

Andy, Zayn, Lay and I stood up. Mrs. Golez still is staring at us with disbelief, well you can't really expect it from the people who has the highest scores except for me and Stellan. Mrs. Golmes glared at Stellan then looked back at the paper.

MRS. GOLMEZ: All of you will be sent to the office, you will be questioned by the supiriors as well as the principal. Everyone else, congratulations.

Instead of relief they all looked terrified. Before Mrs. Golmez left Stellan called her to ask something.

STELLAN: Isn't it rude not to inform the students why they're being called? Don't get me wrong but we all know that there have been students safety problems

here.

He's right, last time a student was called to the office year 1999 of September 2nd. Ashley Rozales, she was called without telling her nor the class why. She wasn't seen ever since, the rumours were that she never returned. The parents gave up looking for her but the last place that she was seen was her on her way to the office.

Students were kept shut about it, but the rumours are still around the school and is at the Library kept archives. It even made it into the schools news paper but every single bit of it was burned after the day it was published.

Mrs. Golez's eyes widen, Stellan shouldn't be asking her that nor anyone in this school. Even I was surprised to hear that question, I glared to see who told him but everyone was in shock while staring at him. Now the whole class will be in trouble, that is specificly not part of the plan. WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING??

I looked at Andy and mouthed "What the hell?" He mouthed back "I don't know." Lay couldn't possibly told him that since he was the person who had the idea not to tell Stellan yet since he just moved in.

MRS. GOLEZ: Just do what you are told.

I waited for her to disappear at the hall way. I marched right infront of Stellan, I pulled his collar and scolded him.

LAY: Relax Ms. Pres. It was part of the plan. (Lay chuckles)

ANDY: What the f*ck the class could have been in tr-- no we're all probably in trouble later!!

I let go of his collar and punched Lay in the arm.

LAY: Yo what the hell was that for?!

ZAYN: For not telling us obviously.

Keesh stood up and shouted.

KEESH: Why the heck are you guys talking as if we're not here? And what did you guys do?!

I winked at Keesh.

CZARINA: Secret.
