I tapped my foot to the whispers and panicked cries of the students infront of me.
"Oh god I'm scared." Madelyn whispered to Me her greenish eyes bouncing off the walls. I was pushed to the very back of the line of all the 11 people infront of me.
"NEXT" the retched voice of my reading teacher yelled. Madelyn stepped up holding out a piece of paper the world beneath my feet was shaking rumbling and groaning at its end. Mrs.Baker grumbled something under her breath as she signed Madelyn's paper "OKAY THATS ALL, MADELYN WAS THE LAST ONE." My mouth dropped no, I wasn't going to die on, This world. I slam my paper on her desk "please, I'm the only one left just sign me make it 12 kids instead of 11." I pleaded tearing up, I looked behind me at the ignorant children I knew so pushy, so judgmental, so...curious of death. Mrs.Bakers Small beady red eyes stared back at me before she checked her watch, looking at a list infront of her. "I suppose.." She says quietly tapping her long nails on her desk. My heart pounded in my chest, "please." The words trembled on my lips begging her more, I didn't want to die today, no I didn't want to die at this age, 14 just about to end 8th grade I was to young to die. "Just, make sure everyone plays the game right, Ms.Romo." Mrs.Baker laughed signing my paper. She stood up examining everyone except for me the horrid smile she always wore before giving us a pop quiz on her face. "The executioner, Kyler." She said looking at me she paced in front of her desk ignoring the rumbling of the earth beneath us.
She folded her hands and popped them "your job is to make sure everyone is doing their job, you do not kill unless provoked, or needed to. Which by needed to I mean use your compensation skills. If someone isn't killing you have the right to kill them. You each, have to atleast kill 1 person before you die yourself. Kyler." She looks at me drawings the stares of fellow classmates of mine "you can not die until there is one last student you two will face off . Of course everyone in This room will forget about you having my This job." I nod my hands shaking. "Olivia. Ms.Flanagan." Mrs.Baker said turning everyone's attention on my old bestie Olivia. "You, kill. Just like everyone else YOU ALL KILL." Mrs.Bakers voice rises and I cover my mouth choking back my cries, a couple students do the same. "Come on children, it's time to line up." We all followed in a panicked line behind her, girls with girls boys with boys 6 in each group. Why was I the only one given a job, why me. I'm gonna have to kill people. I'm gonna have to get hurt several times. Oh my god. I wipe my tears and Madelyn takes me hand "you okay." She asks I stare into her green eyes warmly before Olivia takes my other hand "I swear I won't die, I need to meet you at the end. Not in a bad way though, so I can hug you and we can say goodbye to each other." Olivia pulls me into a friendly hug then tugs in Madelyn.We all arrive at the courtyard.
The girl and boy lines merging into one. Boys glared at me and the extra 3 girls glared at me almost beckoning me to execute them. I wasn't used to this much attention. I never was.Help.
