The education system in Norway is quite simple to understand. You begin in 1st grade the year you turn 6. 1st grade is (obviously) the first grade in a school which we call "The Children's School", and you go there for 7 years. In 8th grade, you begin at another school; "The adolescents School". And you go there for 3 years. When you're finished with that, and you graduate from 10th grade the year you turn 16, you are technically free, and you're no longer obligated to continue your studies. But most people do. Most people start at a school we call; "Further Studies" which might be similar to high-school. The short term for this school is "VGS". You start at VG1 (which is the first year), when you want. And you choose between several lines of study. You can either specialise in a subject, like hairdresser or journalist or lumberjack etc. And start working after you've finished your 2nd year. Or you can go a knowledge line, which prepares you for even more studies after VGS.
I chose the general knowledge line, which we just call "studie". I've almost finished my first year, it's just about two weeks left, and I've finished all of my exams and tests, there is litterally nothing left to do, and I don't really get why we're forced to go to school for these weeks.
It is these incredibly boring weeks that marks the start of this story.
My name is Aurora Jensen, I am an 18 year old girl, and this is the story of how Élaine got me taped to the fucking flag-pole at my school in my second year of VGS.
