Extricate

01

Today was the day. I was so happy and I bet you my parents would be too, at least if I knew them.

I've been back and forth between foster homes since no one wants me cause I've gotten in a shit tone of trouble.
Graffiti is my preferred hobby so that's probably why no one wants to keep me.

Today was my first day at college.

I walked up to the door where a feminine figure was standing.

"Hello, I'm minx!"
She spoke after I walked up the stairs towards her.

"Minx? That's a cool name"

"Oh it's not my real name. No one here tells anyone there real name and I'll suggest you don't either. You'll find out why but I'm afraid I'm not able to tell you why right now."
After she said that she gestured towards a camera on the high fences.

"Oh well, you can call me Dream then."

"Ok dream, well here is a paper explaining the rules the jobs and what we use for cash in this school."

I grab the paper before walking in and once the door shuts I hear an obnoxious noise sounding like some sort of beep.
I walk through the hallway and past a door that says 'office' and right as I pass that door I get pulled into the one right beside it.

"Hello, what can I call you?"
A female spoke

"Uhm Dream, you?"

"You can call me Nihachu.."
She spoke quickly while looking around, she looked scared, terrified even.
"Listen here. This school isn't normal in any way shape or form. Dream, you cannot leave this place. We all have jobs which gives us cash or 'points' and we can get food from the cafeteria with points."

"What do you mean by we can't escape..?"

"They've trapped us here. And I'm here to tell the new students about the dangers of this school. Including gangs."
She spoke bearly above a whisper.

"Gangs?"

"Yeah, if people try to get you to join schlatt, don't. Join any other gangs except schlatt's."

"Why is schlatt so bad?"

"Only you can find that out, but they will gaslight you. Don't fall for anything they say to you, that's all I can really tell you. Now please get out of here so we don't get caught."
She spoke before running to the door and opening it.

I walk out of the room in fear.
What have I gotten myself into? What was my future going to be like? Will I ever live a normal life? Will I be stuck here until death?

Those are all questions that would be answered later, at least I hope.

"Hey Dream!"
A masculine voice spoke from behind me
I quickly spin around towards them

"How do you kno-"

"Of yeah, after Minx finds out someone name everyone knows, as in there fake name nobody here knows anyones name."
The man spoke fast but very cheerful.

"So what's your name?"
I ask  before continuing walking.

"Oh, im Fundy!"
Fundy sounded like a really nice person from what I've seen.

"Well hello fundy, can I help you?"

"Actually yes you can"
He said before pushing me through another hallway into two other guys.
Each had an arm around one of my arms holding me up.

"So Dream, would you like to join Schlatt?"
Fundy spoke less cheerful this time. He sounded more manipulative.

"Actually no, waiting for a better offer"
I said before smiling and slightly tilting my head.

"Listen here buddy. Your going to join Schlatt or you will regret it."

"I'm not going to regret anything sweetie."
I spoke with a more cheerful sarcastic voice.

"What the fuck did you just call me?"
Fundy said while walking closer to me.

"Let me handle this fundy"
A more masculine voice spoke.

Funny backed up and let the man come closer to me.
He had brown scruffy hair and sideburns.

The man walked up to me and swung at my face.
I ducked and sweeped his legs.

"Let go of me! Let this be a fair fight or are you guys fucking pussys yeah?"
I yelled trying to free my arms from their grip.

"Let him go."
The man spoke firmly.

They dropped me to the ground after he spoke.

"Now your going to join me or we can continue this fight."
So I assume that's schlatt.

"Come at me."

Schlatt just laughed then swung another punch at my face.
I ducked again swinging a punch at his stomach causing him to lean over and grab his stomach.

"You're actually pretty good at combat. You'd be good in my gang."

After he spoke I punched him in right in the jaw.
"I told you, I'm not joining you."

"SCHLATT, STOP FUCKING WITH NEW STUDENTS"
a voice called out.
