A monk leads you and Marcus to a room. You both look around and Marcus walks over to a set of swords. He grabs one of them and holds it up.

"Marcus I wouldn't do that." You say as you walk over to him. Just then Master Lin walks in. Marcus clumsily shoves the sword back and turns around to face him. He tells a little about the swords.

"My great-grandfather came here in search of the american dream. What he discovered was a nightmare of indentured servitude and abuse. So, he taught himself to kill. Found the purpose in revenge. He founded this school. Dedicated his life to the self liberation of oppressed people. People like you." Master Lin says as he walks over and sits in a chair next to a desk. "Primarily I train creative problem solvers. Over time, our curriculum and focus has broadened but we must not forget my ancestors primary goal. To give peasants the required skill to dethrone their corrupt masters." He continues. He opens a box as he says these next words. "And if you do as I say, I'll get you to raise your voice loud enough to be heard around the world."

You and Marcus walk over to the desk and look inside. There are two uniforms folded neatly inside the box.

"Fine." Marcus says.

You and Marcus are escorted to the showers. You enter the girls room to find it empty. You walk into one of the showers and wash your body of all the sweat and the blood from your neck. After showering you brush your teeth and fix your hair. You change into your new uniform.

You meet Marcus outside the bathroom and you're escorted to get your ID's, books and anything else you'll need for class. After getting all the things you need, you and Marcus walk down the school hallways to Marcus' locker. They were only planning for Marcus, so you two had to share a locker. He opens the locker and pulls out a doll. There's a note stabbed into it with a knife. The note reads 'Child Killer'.

"Marcus, ignore it. The people at this school are assholes." You say. You grab the doll and throw it in the trash. When you get back, Marcus reaches up and touched the cut on your neck. "I'm fine." You say and grab his hand.

"Are you sure because-" He starts to say but is interrupted by the girl who was wearing Day of the Dead makeup, Maria.

"You a Mexican?" She says.

"My dad was Nicaraguan. Mom was from Kansas." He replies as he shoves some of his books into the locker.

"Whatever you are, some rep you got. Half the class is scared shitless...other half want to try you out." She says. "So what's your affiliation?"

"Oh I don't." He says. He reaches over and takes the same books he put in his locker out of your arms and shoves them in with his.

"I'm Maria." She says with a laugh. You narrow your eyes at her but she either doesn't notice or doesn't care. "You can hang with us. We'll talk initiation."

"I'm not much of a joiner. Plus I'm not joining anything without Y/N." He says looking over at you. Maria looks at you.

"Things'll be safer here if you're with your own people, Marcus. Plus, it'll make it easier for me to get to know you."

Another boy walks up and grabs Marias hand.

"C'mon baby. Fuck that pendejo. He wants to dick around with this bitch, let him." He says and leads Maria away.

"Bye, Marcus." Maria says over her shoulder.

Marcus looks over at you to see you glaring at the two people walking away. You angrily shut the locker and start walking to your first class. Marcus runs to catch up with you.

"Someone jealous?" He teases. You glare at him.

"I'm pissed at Maria for acting like I wasn't there, i'm pissed at her boyfriend for calling me a bitch, and I'm mad at you for not defending me." You say and quicken your pace. Marcus runs to catch up.
