PERSONALITY

Chapter One

My parents had moved town due to them getting a new job.    Apparently it was a big job opportunity so that's why they ripped me away from all my friends.   I didn't mind to much though,   the town was nice and it wasn't as if I had many friends anyway, besides we left at the end of the year so I got time with my friends.  Besides everyone in my grade will be the new kid so it'll be fine..     

I moved into a fairly small old school looking house.  It was cute.       It has plush white carpet on the floor and cornflower blue wallpaper lining the front hallway.   In the lounge was a stone fireplace and the kitchen wasn't cramped so that's good.  We were almost finished unpacking.   

My room was nice too.  It had rather light gray wallpaper and the same carpet.  I had my bed and desk set up,  a few posters on my walls.   It was fairly plain but I liked it.    

The town seemed great until the day of highschool came along.     I walked into a school with a colorful hoodie, a graphic t-shirt and a pair of old worn out jeans.   I had a smile on my face,  as soon as I walked into the school, a kid wearing glasses and a checkered sweater vest directed me to the announcement hall.

I sat down next to a tall kid,  he had dark hair and green eyes,   he had tan skin and wore simply a gamer shirt and jeans, he had round glasses on.  "Hey my name's Davie.  Nice to meet you."  I say smiling.    The boy looked over to me,  "I'm Zach."  He says smiling faintly.  Soon enough a teacher walked up on stage.    

"Good evening new classes of 2018.   Welcome to Elaine high school,  I am Mr. Dynan.    Now I know some of you may be nervous about being in a new school and you might be worried about making friends.   Don't worry our social club has made a simple fix for this." He says smiling.    "Social leader could you please come and explain the games?"  He asks keeping his grin.

Soon a person with black hair in a full black suit and a black mask walked out onto stage.  People seemed confused.  A T.V on the back wall switch on displaying a table with social rankings going from the royalty, popular kids,  bullies,  outcasts  to the targets.   I was confused by this everyone seemed to be.

"Hello everyone.  I am the Social Club Leader, the students call me Social!"  He says cheerfully.   "Today I will be explaining our schools social ranking system,  or the S.R.S.     As you can see on the bored our school has a rank depending on what clique you are in.    You generally want to be in a higher rank."   He explains.

I looked at the board.    I searched it before smiling,  'Social butterfly' is one of the popular kids this should be fine.    I see Zach look up and down the board before muttering curses, his eyes hovered over 'Geek', in the target rank.     

"But we all know some people have been given unfair advantages in popularity, such as beauty, money and athletic incline.   So in order for there to be a fair chance, you shall be given a personality, so everyone has a fighting chance to become popular."  Social states.    People started muttering and seemed confused.

Someone stood up,  "I'm sorry but what do you mean 'given a personality'?"  They asked.    Social just looked at her.  "It's just that."  He says,  he pulls out remote and changes the image on the screen.      It was of a character sheet of sorts.

"You will look around the school for a rank,   the best rank you find is the one you'll use and if you don't find a rank you'll become a Target.   The character sheet will determine your,   Stereotype, Ranking,  Friends,   Enemies,   Likes, Dislikes, Personality and most importantly how you will be treated by others."  He says.

"If you disobey your personality traits there is a punishment,   if you quit the game you will immediately become a target and most importantly,  never tell an adult.  Now for some quick inspiration to search for a good rank.  Targets cannot be helped by anyone,  they can have anything done to them and they can't do anything about it,  however royalty get to boss around the whole grade.  Enjoy the game"  Social says with a cheerful tone.  "Now if you have any questions, there is a question box in the closet under the first floor stairs around class D9."  He explains and walked off stage.   

"Game starts now.   Better hurry and find a good personality sheet,  you have fifteen minutes!" Social finishes.    

Everyone got up and rushed off,  Zach got up and looked at me as he ran out of the hall.   I just got up and ran as well.

People were searching everywhere,  occasionally someone would be excited.      I was searching the entire school but I couldn't find one.   Right after the speakers blared that we had five minutes left, a small slip of paper caught my eye in an empty classroom.  I walked inside the classroom and looked at the piece of paper, it was covered in messy handwriting..

'Stereotype:  Bad Boy.   Ranking:  Bully.  Friends:   Other Bad Boy characters.  Enemies:  Targets and Outcasts.   Likes:  Alcohol,  rule breaking,  showing off and being disrespectful.    Dislikes:  Rule followers,  being bossed around, teachers or targets.   Personality:  You specifically are cocky,  rude, blunt,  cold, aggressive and violent.   Treatment:   You will be feared by most students and do not have to obey royalty unless wanted.  Hobbies:  Story Writing. Extra:  You are afraid of dogs and commonly contemplate murder.

What the fuck is that last fact....  I don't want to hurt anyone,  but it'll have to do.   I soon felt a bad aching pain in my back, I dropped the sheet of paper, before noticing someone.   Zach,  he'd kicked me.   He grabbed the piece of paper.  "Sorry but it's survival of the fittest."   He states and rushes off.  

I started searching frantically.   Two minutes left.   One minute left.   Until  I saw a piece of paper,  I ran towards it and picked it up.

'Stereotype: Goth.    Ranking: Target.   Friends: You specifically are a loner and prefer to be by yourself. but may make friends with other targets and outcasts,  you're best friends name currently is  Adam.   Enemies: Bullies,  Popular kids and Royalty.    Likes:  You are interested by criminology and the occult,  you like drawing, music and being left alone.     Dislikes: People being around you,  mockery and arguments.    Personality: You specifically are quiet, solem,  sarcastic and cold.   Treatment:  You are mistreated and mocked by everyone besides fellow targets and few outcasts.    Hobbies:  Photography.  Extra:  You commonly dye your hair different colors, you have a crush on the female royalty, to a stalkerish extent, you enjoy your own pain and suffering.'

I frown.   I still got a target and worse one that hates people and again what is with the final facts.   I'm going from a social butterfly to a sarcastic goth...   "TIME IS UP!"  Social announces via the speakers.   "Write your name on your sheet and put it into the bucket under the stairs." He explains.  I grab a pen and write down my name on the sheet and hesitantly go to the question bucket.

This is going to be hell.
