"Congratulations you all just upped your sentence. To one Saturday detention to 4,"

The classroom gasped in shock.

We were angry of course. At each other. At ourselves. But little by little. Hour by hour the walls we'd hidden behind all our lives started breaking down.
As pudding cups and sandwiches were shared the probable fell away. A group of misfits became unlikely friends.

"And then there was that one rainy Saturday afternoon the first cold rain of the season"

When I got it into my head to add the rest of the groups initials into the windowsill carved next to mine and Hermonie decided to break into Mrs Crabapple draw.

"The draw flung open and the group pulled round the table.

FP and Gladys stood together. Gladys over the desk while he stood behind her.

"Holy crap! Crabapples being looking out stuff up for decades," said Sierra

And there it was. Griffins and Gargoyles.

"I think I've heard of this. We shouldn't play it, it doesn't belong to us anyways," said Penelope

FP snatched it from her hand and observed it.
"Griffins and Gargoyles. I thought this was an urban legend,"

"I heard people were playing it at seaside," said Fred

"I heard one of them had a heart attack and died," said Hermonie

"Well in that case we definitely have to play it right?" Said Alice, the group smirked with her.

The group sat around the board with it all set up.

"And ancient evil long forgotten to this world has awoken. His name the Gargoyle king," said Penelope.

Gladys rested her head against FPs leg, lying on her back.

Her eyes landed on Alice who were staring at the two. She glared at her friend it quickly looked away.

"Defeat him and receive the supreme reward,"

"Yeah but how do we beat him?" Asked FP

"It looks like the person with the manual so me, is the game master, I'll guide you through quests and you complete them until you ascend to the next level so first pick your characters,"

Gladys pushed her self up, adjusting her jeans and ripped up denim jacket.

"I'll pick the sorcerous, maybe I can make all you nerds disappear," she smiled.

"I'll pick the theif. I've always wanted to be free of morals," said Hermonie

"Well as the voice of the people. I choose the siren," said Sierra

"I'll pick the Princess. I want all the power I can get," smiler Gladys

"Deadeye. Sick" said FP

"Fred. We all know your the radiant night," said Penelope

"Clinging to the ideals of hope, justice and righteousness. I don't know it seems kind of,,"

"Perfect for you," said Hermonie

"Boring," said both Alice and Gladys

"Now pay attention. Welcome grave adventures to elderver. Realm of Griffins and Gargoyles. Lady smith please pick your quest card,"

"Free this would of the undead,"

"You are standing up at the top of necromans ally,"

"Ugh this games boring, I'm going to sleep,"
