"I am glad this is the last year." Said Chris.

"Of high school or for the purge?" I said.

"Both bro." Said Chris.

"Yeah, well the purge starts tommorow night." said Chris.

"I know." I said.

Tristan walked by and gave me a look. After knowing Tristan for six years I knew what that look meant. I walked off to the side with him. He turned the corner than turned around and began speaking.

"You know how the purge is different this year?" Said Tristan.

"Yeah, what about that?" I said.

"Well although on average in our town only like 5 people die per year which is low." Said Tristan.

" yeah, what is your point bro, I got math class." I said impatiently.

"Our town is the only city in Florida the wolverines haven't attacked." Said Tristan.

At that moment every hair on my body stood up. The wolverines are people with heavy weaponry who are known to sometimes Wipe out entire city's only leaving behind corpses and broken families. They have no mercy which is what I feared the most.

"Dude! What are we going to do!?" I exclaimed.

"Ssshhhhh!!! Shut up! Stay quiet, okay?" Tristan said.

"Yeah, Wait! Why?" I stutturred out.

At that moment the bell rung and the conversation ended.

"I will talk to you later, but I have a plan. A very big plan. You will see soon enough." Tristan said as he walked off into the mix of scattered students.

"What the hell is he talking about?" I softly said to myself.

Let me explain how the past 11 purges in my life has been. I record a kids sitcom and watch it with Chris inside my closet through my laptop. Anything else just felt wrong. What kind of human can kill an innocent human.

Chris walked up to me and said "What was that about?"

"I don't even know." I responded as Chris and I walked into the mix of students who would most likely be late.

That day I didn't see Tristan or a lot of people. Which was normal pre-purge day. Not for Tristan though, something was up.

Right after school Chris said "I will sleep over tonight and tommorow night."

"Going to purge tommorow night? I know you hate our gym coach." I taunted Chris.

"Haha, very funny. See you later." Said Chris sarcastically.

As I walked home I pulled out my phone and called Tristan.

He answered instantly.

"I was about to call you to brief my plan." Said Tristan.

"What us this so called plan of yours." I told him.
