Outside

New time in a new place

" DONT JUMP PLEASE NICKY I BEG YOU!" 

"Mum.. I'm sorry.." "NO NICKYYYY..."
"AHHHHHHH" Oh, it was another one if those dying dreams. I have been getting them often after reading a book about suicide. It's not like I wanna commit suicide but I don't really wanna live much longer. Today is school, I'm not bothered coming in today so I'll call the school and say I'm sick. I'm quite good at acting and sounding like my mum so this won't be hard. "Hello this is Nicky's mother again, Nicky will not be into school today as she is sick, sorry for any concerns." 

"Hello Nicky's mother, you're name is Ann isn't it?" 

"yes it indeed is." 

"Alright Ann, you're daughter was seen going shopping yesterday but you claimed she was "feeling sick" we know you may be keeping your daughter from school so she must come into school or else we will have to remove her from our sch-" 

" Nicky will be in today, she just told me she is alright, she will come to school for now on, sorry for any inconvenience bye!" *Phone falls down*

Wow, I have no option but to go to school after hearing I might be kicked out, my mother will go crazy! It's 7:48 right now and school starts at 8 so I'll have to start leaving, I'm just gonna go with a pair of leggings and a shirt, I won't need breakfast.

                                                           *School*

"Oh look, who has come to join us!" My teacher said with a disgusted look on her face. "Feeling better now or just came to school to not get kicked ou-" 

"Shut up or else I'll tell the principal about the time you-" 

"Don't you dare finish the sentence and sit down." 

"Fine.." I said rolling my eyes. Teachers can really be a pain sometimes. I wish that school wasn't a thing- for multiple reasons I can't be bothered saying and explaining. I wish something good would happen in my life- *THUD* "Is there a Nicky in here?" 

"Yes there is why?" My teacher said. " I need her right now." I just sat there half listening. "Nicky..Nickyyy.NICKY!"

 "WHAT... oh yeah.." I stood up and everyone started to laugh that me. I walked with that woman that needed me. "Now you were chosen to go somewhere for the school and you have to go now."

 "Where am I going for the school?" 

"I can't tell you just go- other people from this school is going."

"Alright fine." That's the last thing I remember what happened until I went into a room. Right now I'm in cell with a little window. I'm gonna look though to see where i am. "Don't look outside."

 "Why?"

 "You will die."

 "No problem-"

 " Just don't look outside I don't care if you wanna die- it you look outside we all die."

 "Fine only because I'm not a bit-" The light turns on and shows the girl that told me not to look out the window. She had big, thin roundish glasses and short hair. She was beautiful.. wow. "What? You seem surprised." "Oh sorry I didn't know you would look like that- WHERES YOUR OTHER ARM??" "It got shot off from the last challenge?" "Last challenge what??" "You didn't know that you have to do challenges here to survive?" "no not really I just got here.." "yeah I can see that now." "So tell me about this place before I get my arm shot off." "There isn't must to tell you but you do deadly challenges to survive and win a lot of money for your school." "Ooo a lot of money- FOR YOUR SCHOOL? YOU RISK YOUR LIFE FOR YOUR SCHOOL?" "Yep, they obviously give you some money but they only choose the ones that will probably die and try get rid of them." "Oh that's why they threw me here, I skipped school for 5 months." "Hah, I was sent here because I stabbed a kid in the hand for punching me in the nose," "wow... uhmm.." There was an awkward silence.

"So, what's your name?" I said to her confidently. "Taiya, but call me Tai because it sounds cooler." "Sure I guess.." "Is there anyone else usually in here?" "There was some boy but he got sent somewhere else so it's just me, and you now." "Oh okay.. that's nice.." THE NEXT CHALLENGE IS STARTING IN 5 MINUTES, GET TO THE LINE NOW!" a speaker said. "It's the next challenge and your first, are you excited?" "Well, a bit but I couldn't really care less if i die." "Yeah sure." Our cell door opened, It was the first challenge of life or death.
