It would've been a normal Friday. Weekend plans. Chemistry tests. Relationship rumors. But on that day, at 9:10 a.m., all 1,484 students of Stonewall Academy High School wake up on their homeroom desk and are forced into a simple, brutal game: a fight to the death. Across the school, six students will battle for survival and discover the meaning of trust and betrayal. RAYMOND is the junior valedictorian who talks little, a genius with a mysterious past and unclear intentions. SKYLAR is popular and beautiful, and has tabs on everyone thanks to her newspaper and yearbook class. JESSE is a star athlete on the varsity baseball team, quick to protect his friends but slow to make the right choice. ALYSSA is a kind girl who's a model of perfection, as an Ivy-bound pre-med major and former cheer captain. GRACE sticks to herself and prioritizes her own survival above all else, but has mastered the sport of archery. ROWAN is a freshman trying not to fail half his classes, struggling to live up to his brother's shadow. These six people don't know much about each other at the start of the games, but will find their fates entwined in ways none of them will have expected. As the games go on, friendships will be forged and challenged, and loyalties will be tested. Out of the battlefields will come unbreakable bonds and resilient hope. The clock ticks down. The only way out is to play, and the only way to play is to fight. UPDATES EVERY SUNDAY, 11AM CST

I fall to the floor, but with enough concentration I manage to stand. "Why are you doing this?" I hiss, struggling to keep my balance. "Most people think the most important piece on the chess board is the king, or the queen or the rook; some even think it's the bishop." "You killed him, didn't you?" "I like to think it's the pawn." He taunts, coming to stand in front of me. "Underestimated and yet the most dangerous...with a little patience it can become anything. Quite interesting, don't you think?" "I'm not in the mood for your little mind games." "Will you do as you're fucking told or are we going to have a problem?" He asks with barely restrained fury, his eyes holding mine captive, making it clear that I'm supposed to give him an answer. "I guess we're gonna have a problem."
