(Fixed a few grammar errors :P )
"Daniel.."

A 15 year old albino sat in a room. There was other kids his age. The teenagers were all sitting at desks, a test set in front of each one.

"You will have thirty minutes to complete this test. Then one of you lucky doves will be chose to ascend!" A lady spoke with a high pitched, happy voice.

She wore all white.

The teens wore white.

The whole building was white.

"And...begin!"

The sounds of pencil scribbling on paper flooded the quiet room.

The blond boy wrote his answer quickly.

He was scared.
The others weren't.

He was the only one not wearing white.

He wore black sweatpants and a grey t-shirt.

He didn't want to ascend.
He didn't want to die.

'Beep Beep'

"Okay class! Time is up!"

The pencils were all placed down.

The teens sat with their backs straight, staring forward.

They looked like mannequins.

He didn't want to be like them.

The teacher walked around and looked at everyone's paper.

She held a purple pill in the palm of her hand.

As she got close to the blond, impure boy, she stopped.

"Congratulations Daniel."

She placed the pill in front of the strange boy.

He looked up at her, terrified.

"I do not want to die." He tried to say loudly but it was a small whisper. Tears formed in his eyes.

"Oh silly, you aren't going to die! You're going to ascend!"

"Can I decline?"

"Oh no, don't be stupid! If you decline our wondrous lord, you'll be damned to hell for all eternity. You wouldn't want that now, would you Daniel?" Her smile looked malicious.

"No ma'am.." He frowned, looking at the pill placed in front of him.

"That's what I thought! Now come on, take it."

He gulped and looked at the purple pill for a few moments.

He grabbed the pill with a shaky hand and popped it in his mouth, swallowing it.

It felt like he had only blinked his eyes.

His clothes went from impure colors to solid white.

The sweatpants to dress pants.

T-shirt to button up.

Sneaker to dress shoes.

In a second, his fear and negative emotions turned into relaxed, peaceful silence.

"See that wasn't so bad! Class dismissed!" The teacher chirped happily.

The teens all grabbed their things and walked out the door.

One girls turned and glared at the now ascended Daniel.
