School of despair

Chapter 2

"Good evening students! It is now bedtime. Have a good night's rest~ See you in the morning~" Monodoragon said to us through the PA system.
Skylar laid in her room, her katana leaning against the nightstand, wine bottle in hand. She was sound asleep, not a sign of waking up anytime soon. Little did she, or anyone else, know someone had already been murdered...

"Ding Dong kiddos! Wakey Wakey! Get Up! While all of you were asleep, one of your classmates had a little fun and killed someone~" Monodoragon announced over the PA system.
Skylar rolled out of bed, holding her stomach, groaning. "I hate being hungover...oh god-" Skylar stumbled into the bathroom and threw up.
She slowly got up, cleaned up, got dressed, and went to the cafeteria. She sat slumped at one of the tables, eyes red and her body aching.
Nell came over, noticing Skylar not being her usual self. "Um..Skylar? You ok?" She asked, almost in a whisper.
Skylar sat up and looked at her slowly. "Oh yeah totally, no I'm not ok!" SKylar sat Nell down and whispered, "I'm hungover, really hungover."
Nell gulped and scooted away, obviously becoming nervous about something.
"Good to see we're all here..except for Reed and Chase..." A tall girl named Rei, the Ultimate Blacksmith, stood up from her chair.
"That must mean either one of them is dead!" A boy, correction, a person named Arson, the Ultimate Tattoo Artist, laughed and stood on their chair.
Everyone looked up at them almost in disgust. "This isn't something you should be celebrating, Arson, not cool." A quiet boy named Jax, Ultimate Chemist, said with a dead serious tone.
"Oh calm down! It obviously narrows down our list right? Besides, everyone will die eventually!" Arson beamed, a psychotic smile across his face. Their smile was unsettling, no one expected to see that, especially from him.
"So why are we standing around doing nothing? Let's go and try to find Chase and Reed!" Iris, the Ultimate Florist, cried in the kindest way possible.
They all nodded and got up, searching the school for these two boys. Every room was checked except for one, the concert hall. They have to be here! Skylar thought to herself. She kicked the doors open and saw a horrific sight in front of her.
Reed's body was on the stage floor, cut up and a pool of blood surrounding his body. Chase was leaning over him, crying his eyes out. Chase's cries echoed throughout the concert hall.
"Guys! I found them!" Skylar shouted out into the hallway, her voice echoing. The sound of footsteps of running students rang throughout the hallways.
After only three minutes, everyone was gathered around Reed's lifeless body. Chase was still sobbing, despite everyone being there. Skylar knelt down to Reed's body and looked at the injuries. All over his body were thin, but deep, cuts.
"OOOO! I see you all found our first victim! You have five minutes to gather evidence. At the end of those five minutes, go to the giant dark green doors at the end of the main entrance!" Monodoragon basically cheered over the PA system.
Skylar, being the oldest, immediately started looking for evidence. She seemed to find several things that could be potential evidence.
It was the quickest five minutes of everyone's lives. All twelve of the surviving students walked inside the giant dark green doors. Inside was a...courtroom? There were a total of thirteen stands, one had a picture of Reed's face on it. It appeared to be the same height as him too. ON the picture of his face, a huge red x was drawn across it.
"Is that really necessary?" A quiet girl, Isla, the Ultimate Dancer, commented.
"Just because he's dead doesn't mean he can't participate! Now everyone choose a stand and prepare yourselves. The class trial now begins!" Monodoragon clapped, he sat on what appeared to be a throne of sorts.
Once everyone found a spot, a boy with messy hair, Russel, the Ultimate Ghost Hunter, spoke up. "First order of business, murder weapon?" He yawned.
"Something thin and sharp. No weapons were found at the scene." Skylar grumbled, eyeing her classmates. She didn't trust anyone, for turning to this violence.
"Then should we show each other our weapons of choice?" April tilted her head to the side, in a confused manner.
Everyone nodded and took out their choice of weapons. Skylar and Chase were the only ones with a weapon who would deal damage like on  Reed's body.
"Well that narrows down the list doesn't it?" Rei shook her head in disappointment.
"Well it isn't me, I was drunk in my room last night. Plus I knocked out before the announcement was made." Skylar defended herself.
"The night time announcement? And why does it matter when you went to bed?" Starbelle stared at Skylar, skeptical over her answer,
"The estimated time of death was before the announcement, but not by much. Nell saw me go into my room and knows I didn't leave." SKylar counter, looking at Nell.
"T-That's right! I sat outside my room all evening and she never left!" Nell stood up straight, proud to have provided a piece of evidence to the case.
"Then what is your response Chase?" Jac, along with everyone else, looked at Chase. Chase stood at his stand, hyperventilating.
"Why would I ever kill someone?! Of course I object!" Chase slammed his hands down on the railing, cursing and yelling at his fellow classmates.
"Then show me your cards, if they're freshly washed you have no way out." Skylar held her hand out for Chase, so he could put the cards in her hand.
Chase stopped and stared, mouth dropped open. "I-I...I did it... I didn't want to...but I needed a way out of here!" Chase confessed, some tears rolling down his face.
"No...No you wouldn't! He was my best friend! Why would you do that for such a selfish reason?!" Iris suddenly became aggressive. Out of characters for such a quiet and sweet girl like her.
"No hurting or killing each other in the trial room! These carpets are expensive, you know! Well whatever, screw it, Imma do it anyways!" Monodoragon interjected and walked over to Iris. He started beeping loudly and spears shot out of him, stabbing into Iris' body.
Iris stood still holding some of the spears in her body. She slowly looked up. "Not...good..." She coughed up blood before falling to the ground, dead.
Everyone stared at her body in utter shock. They were all so surprised she was dead so quickly. No one would have ever believed that she would be killed so quickly and easily over something as little as that.
"Anywaysssss Chase is the culprit! Good job everyone! Time for his punishment!" Monodoragon laughed. He then proceeded to hit a button, a chain with a choker whipped out and wrapped around Chase's neck.
    They all watched as Chase was dragged through a side door, a tv screen dropped down from the ceiling. Chase had been thrown into a room, now trying to find the exit. HIs yelling was audible from the tv, so was his banging on the walls.
    "It's punishment time!" Monodoragon clapped and laughed. "Initiate punishment, Cash Raindown!"
    Dollar bills started falling from the ceiling of the room that Chase was in, He looked up and slowly smiled, stuffing his pockets. "Bankers galore! This isn't so bad after all!" Chase's laughter filled the air through the speakers of the tv.
    That laughter slowly died off after a few minutes. His smile slowly faded too, his eyes staring up at the ceiling again. Silver dollars started raining down like sleet in the coldest of winter. He was screaming now instead of laughing. As the class watched in horror, Chase's body started to become deformed from the heavy metal piercing his skin. All that could be heard was his screams of pain and agony.
    The students couldn't see anything for a split second because of the silver dollars. When the screen finally cleared up, the only thing visible was the deformed, dead body of Chase, a pool of blood surrounding him. No screams, no cries, no sounds even came through the speakers. From the trial room itself, the sounds of April's cries and sobs filled the room. Being the more sensitive one of the group of now ten students.
    "That's all for now kiddo's! Back to the school and carry on with your day!" Monodoragon opened the dark green doors for the class and hopped out.
    The class of ten students slowly walked out and into the school. Not even sure as to what they should do or even feel. Skylar went to her room without a care of what the rest told her.
