Victore Academy boarding school is a lot of things. To the outside world, it's the heaven of schools. For some students, it's an experience they'll never forget. For others, it's the place to start their careers. And maybe for a few, it's the peak of their lives and really as good as it's going to get for them. And for me... well, I'll need a bit more than this to talk about that. But before you step in, here's a few things that everyone makes note of: 1. The students have secrets. And money. It's hard to tell what more of, honestly. 2. Don't get a room on the West Side of the girl's dorms. The birds around that private property lake house downside from campus don't stop chirping at 5AM. It's unpleasant, to say the least. 3. Avoid Mr. Labadee's classroom at all costs outside of lessons, especially past fifth period. It's better off if you're left in the dark with this one. 4. That asshole from Spain that terrorizes all the young freshmen is not hot. However, girls do make note of the fact that he works out post seventh period and right before first, near the track field. 5. The Victor's Tournament happens every year for all the senior year students. It's a pretty big deal. 6. And I think Armin Rivers is probably going to kill someone before he wins it (and it's probably gonna be that Spanish asshole). cover by soundthealarm

Ruby Fridays by sinwerifesteria

Everyone has their dark side but some- like 𝙍𝙪𝙗𝙮 𝙁𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙖𝙮𝙨, have the darkest. High school can be tough for many teenagers, but for her, it was peculiarly hellish. Clever as evil and twice as pretty, Ruby's beauty was both dangerous and lethal. Trouble always follows her, and strangely enough-she's familiar with the feeling of blood on her hands, and the glimmer of naked secrets and truths that keep her enemies up until sunsets and dawns. But when she got enrolled in a prestigious institution-the infamous, "𝙍𝙤𝙨𝙗𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙇𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤 𝘼𝙘𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙢𝙮," despite her tainted school records, she realizes that her ruined fate is already sealed by the almost perfect image of the school- that is nothing but a façade to masked the darkness that lurks within its whole vicinity. Like a twisted fate, as if reflecting Ruby's name, the Academy holds a sinister game of 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐫 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐞 every 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 And the official rules are simple yet sinister. 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡? You must reveal your deepest, darkest and most hideous secret. 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐞? Well, that could be even more dangerous-even deadly. When the game takes an even darker turn with her appearance, suddenly no one at the Academy knows who to turn to and trust with the day by day murders in the broken mists. Yet in the darkness, 𝙆𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙣 𝙒𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙚, a disguised angel who's surprisingly Ruby's parallel counterpart, decides to interfere with her ruined path. Together with him, they will look for the missing pieces and connect them. Together, they will unravel the cases and reveal the secrets beyond the broken glasses of their hearts. 𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙪𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙬𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙜𝙖𝙢𝙚, 𝙘𝙖𝙣

Hollow (2017) by SamiGemma

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."

Check Mate (Unedited) by DafireA

"The game of chess is not just any old board game but it is also the game of life. You can be represented as the king, all the others are the people around you. Check mate means game over in the game but check mate in real life means your life has come to an end..." BORING! Chess is the worst board game on earth, if you gonna play chess I'll consider you as one of those who exist and don't live. Chess is the game plan. I play in tournament my father forces me to play in, using the plan I will be using during my next heist. If I win I use it, if I lose I change it. Chess is a boring board game which is the key plan to my fortune. I am the Black Falcon, this is my life on the board and against the law...
