"Okay class, we have a new student joining us toady. Ollie will you please come in and introduce yourself?" In walks a boy. His hair brown in color and glasses that somehow make him look even better. It's completely silent in the class- which was odd.

The boy had a spotlight around him. Everyone was drawn to the mysterious boy named "Ollie" I was no different. Nor my friend I suppose. She nudged me, "Wow, he's...wow." She said under her breath. I could only manage a nod.

Though now looking back at it, it was absolutely ridiculous to find him memorizing. He is attractive, though he screams bad boy. Maybe that's why I fell for him?

He cleared his throat. "I am Ollie. No need for a last name feel free to call me by my first. I just moved back to Japan from America. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." At the end of his introduction he sent a smile. Dang did I melt at the sight of that smile. I'd be lying if I said I still don't. He bowed directly after. I couldn't help but roll my eyes. This was probably the first and last time I saw Ollie be polite when there was nothing for him to gain.

He's so amazing...I almost gagged when I heard myself think that. Why do I like bad boys? Tsubaki, my best friend at the time tugged on my arm. She leaned into my ear and whispered "Do you think he's single?" My previous selfs heart skipped a beat at the thought, but quickly brushed it aside. I settled with a simple shrug.

That was understandable at the time. Tsubaki and I were very simple looked. She had brown hair and light hazel eyes. My hair was the same raven color I have now and I still had brown eyes. We were average to say the least. In fact we both had glasses, Tsubakis were a much heavier prescription than mine though. To be honest at the time I had close to no self confidence. So thinking he wouldn't fall for me wouldn't be something surprising.

Perhaps he did at one point fall for me. Maybe he truly did love me at sometime in our relationship. However his intentions were not pure nor were they with affection. I loved him with all of my heart. He loved me with the thought I could be a useful tool. A tool to be at his disposal. Just, a tool.

Ah shoot. My vision is wavering. I must be crying. Stop. Don't cry. You don't love him anymore. He used you. Slowly. Oh so painfully slow my vision returns. However now I'm on the ground.

The sirens are blaring around me. No. The flashing lights are blinding. No. There's a pain in the side of my stomach. Oh god no. I look up and see two people. Please no. I've got a pounding headache and my heart is beating so fast. No, anything but that. I slowly begin to recognize the two people. Please stop. Tsubaki and Ollie, my best friend and boyfriend. Why me? I would kill myself over and over to save them. Why me?! So why are they...why are they leaning into each other like that? Why me. As soon as their lips lock my vision blacks out. Though I have one more thought. Son of a bitch.

I'm jolted out of the chair. "System error. Two lives. System error. Two lives." The intercom played. Huh. I must've broken it since I've lived two lives. I should be happy I made it though. But right now...I just want to see Gon.

I crumble to the ground. I'm curled up in a ball. I can't breathe. Why can't I breathe? Oh I'm crying hysterically that's why. I try to stop. I really do. Yet the tears keep flowing. They keep flowing as though a dam held them back. This makes no sense. I hate Ollie. I hate Tsubaki. So why..why do I waste my tears on them? Why do I feel a longing towards them? I thought I was truly over them, him. But if that were true...why do my tears continue to flow? Why..? Why me?

I black out.

When I wake up I'm in room. It's a relatively decent sized room. I'm laying on a couch in said room. I look around. Until I notice a note on the table. I push myself up. Oh god. I'm so sore. I wince at the pain but shake it off. Grabbing the note I read it.

Dear Ava,
Yes I know you're name is Ava. Or Savanah, but you prefer Ava right? Anyways I'm not supposed to do this but...the examiner decides who passes how they see fit. And while I may not technically be an examiner, I'm still filling in for one. So you pass! Well almost. I've put you into a group I think you might get along with. They're currently finishing up a round however they managed to land themselves into a predicament in which they have to stay in a room. Though I'm sure they'll fill you in. Anyways, you have a set of clothes-that I picked!-down by your feet, also there's a watch please put that on as well. When you're ready, feel free to turn on the tv and you can see what your group is doing. That's all! Good luck!! -Rose

I raise an eyebrow at the note. She's quite the peppy one isn't she? Might as well find these clothes she talks about. It wasn't a hard thing to do. Only a second later I was able to find a stack of neatly folded clothes on the ground. I take the shirt and unfold it. It's a short sleeved black button up. It's still a bit baggy for easy movement though. There's flowers on it as well. As for jeans...she got me simple denim shorts. Thank god.

I quickly go and change. Rose also left my tennis shoes. After putting them on I put on the watch. Turning to the tv I fiddle around trying to turn it on.

It flickers on.

I'm greeted with Killua standing in the center of a platform. A large man stands across from him. I can't hear anything, all I see is the video. It looks like the man is talking, almost tryin to intimidate Killua. To no avail that is. Then all of a sudden, he's on the floor...?

Killua is now on the other side, a fabric in his hand. The large man tries turning around and reaching towards Killua. Then he just...dies. Reality hit me hard.

Killua killed someone. Killua killed someone. Killua. Killed. Someone.

That person is now dead. Yet Killua continues on like it's no big deal. He just walks across the path that now connects the platform to the others and right through a door.

They all leave. The screen goes black as there's nothing left to show. I however, just stare. All I can do is stare and stare. What feels like an hour but was probably only a few minutes goes by and a door opens.

"Ava?" Gon's familiar voice snaps me from my blank state. I turn and smile. "Hey Gon!" He looks at me oddly. "Where's your disguise?" I simply shrug. "Got ruined earlier during this phase.. so yeah." Gon nods.

We hear someone cough to bring attention to theirselves. "Okay but who the hell is that?"

Killua.
