         After the exhausting chase between us and the crazy Upper Classes, we decided to take a rest at Alex so we walked towards the woods.

"You are interested about the party, ain't it?" a voice from behind said. We all looked back frantically, it's a girl and she's an Upper Class. I felt the chills again. Thank God we are not at Alex yet.

"I'm Shamara Kienne, I am one of the coordinators of the party. You can go, you are very welcome. Just don't be a Lower Class," she said while gazing at our wristbands. "I am sorry about Lyndon and his friends, they are such a pain in the ass. But don't worry, they don't know you now. I erased their memories about you when they chased you. Enjoy the party tonight. I hope I'll see you. Goodbye," she added and left.

                                 * * *
We continued walking through the woods and watched Shamara disappeared. Now, I understand why those Upper Class dumbasses didn't hurt us in the cafeteria. We arrived at Alex and we greeted him a hello.

"That Shamara gal is our savior. She's an angel," Froye said blissfully when we went inside.

"It's funny that we risk our lives just to know where the stupid party will be held," Paul said.

"Real funny is that the party will be held at the front of the bulletin board which is very noticeable," I said.

We talked about what happened earlier, it was so hilarious because Radar replayed all the exploit that happened earlier with his best acting skills. We rested in the building for a while and we didn't notice that we all fell into a deep slumber. Suddenly, all the guards came in with their guns. Madame Gomez was there and I could see her fiery eyes angry at us. We all woke up in surprise and we all raised our hands.

"You rebellious Lower Classes, I knew you are worthless. I should have killed you in the first place. I knew that you'll do this eventually but Kruegre won't listen to me. Now I must do what is right. You are errors in the upcoming new society! Kill them!" she said with evil aura that made us all flinch.

"This is no joke", I whimpered. I looked at everyone and they were very startled and afraid. Eva was crying now, she holds the tip of my shirt tightly. I looked at Froye, there's something about his face that saying it's his fault. The guards let us kneel in front of them. Because Oil was so nervous she didn't manage to kneel and the guards force her, pulled her hair which made her scream. Paul defended Oil and then we heard a loud bang. The world went slowmo, I couldn't hear anything. I saw Paul on the floor bathing with his blood. We all screamed and gasp for help. The next bullet was for Froye, he was shot right in the head. I have seen how he fell to the floor. Oil was shot and so as Radar. Eva and I are still left, I thought the guards felt pity for us but no, they shot Eva. I closed my eyes, I don't deserve any of this. My friends don't deserve this. I am waiting for the bullet to touch my parts. I am waiting for my death. Nothing happened, I opened my eyes, the guards were gone. They left me alive. I looked at my friends, all dead. Blood floods in the floor of Alex and cold bodies all around. I couldn't stop my tears from running down. I gasp for air, my heart can't pump well. I don't know what to do. Suddenly, Eva hold my hand, she woke up.

"You could have saved us, Jack," she said.

                                 * * *
I abruptly woke up, I am so wet with all the sweats in my body. I was just a dream. It was a nightmare.

"Guys, it's already 7pm, wake up. Let's be ready for the party!" Radar shouted.

We went to our rooms and Radar took the shower first. I thought about what my dream was. They said that dreams have meanings, then what is the meaning of that? I was so stressed out since I got her in this Dome. There's something wrong about here, Jane was right.

After I took a shower, I put on a black shirt. I'm not into parties tonight but because of my friends and the fact that I would see Jane there, I will go.

"You think, no one will knew that we are going to the Upper Class Party, Jack?" I did not respond to Radar's question because I didn't hear it.

"Jack, are you alright?" Radar asked. I nodded and Radar did not bother to ask more questions because we saw the others.

"Are you ready to parteey?!" Froye exclaimed delightfully. They all replied a loud yes and we sprinted towards the central grounds where the bulletin is located.

                                 * * *
"Where are the party-goers?" asked Eve when we arrived and saw that only darkness and tree silhouettes are having party in there.

"Looking for the party?" a boy suddenly asked at our backs.

"Uhyes? Is it postponed or something?" Oil asked.

"Show me your wristbands," the boy mandated.

We looked at each other, scared that the boy will knew that we are Lower Classes because of wearing blue wristbands. I thought about going back to our rooms and forgot about the party but we're to late. The boy insisted to see our wristbands and grabs my hand. I closed my eyes, afraid that he'll saw my blue wristband but no because my wristband is red. I don't know how it happened. I look at them and saw Paul winking at me.

"Smart Paul Struckholm," I muttered.

"I'm sorry for being harsh, I need to do it for security purposes. Thought you we're Lower Class," he said and opened a black hole.

He's a portal generator. We went inside the portal and saw the party. We are in a new world, new dimension. I don't know where is this but I knew that this is not the Dome.

                                 * * *
The party was wet and wild. There was a stage at the front and a DJ named Martin X which I know also an Upper Class student.

"Let's paaaaarty!" Radar screamed and went into the crowd as we all followed.

This party is awesome. Froye and Radar looked so wasted. I never saw these dudes like this. I looked for Jane but she's nowhere to find. I supposed that she didn't attend this party.

The party was getting harder and the music went louder.

"It's a beautiful world!" exclaimed the DJ on the mic with the electro music.

We got wet because of the people who splashed water and I felt cold but didn't care. We danced like there's no tomorrow. Suddenly, a boy went dragging me and all of my friends on the side.

"You are not safe here," he said.
