"Rise and shine my lovely students!"
"Sleepy time is over, you lazy bums!"
Two loud voices woke Adrienne up.
"A…Classroom?"
"What the fuck just happened?!"
"Where the hell are we?"
The panicked voices of the students' filled the classroom. Yes, the place where all the students woke up in was a classroom. It looked strangely similar to their former classroom, yet there was a sense of disharmony which made the students feel uneasy. Adrienne was seated near the front row close to Nora. Matthew and Ava were unsurprisingly seated next to each other in the back row. The other students were seated randomly in the classroom. After looking around, Adrienne turned her attention back to the front of the classroom. There she met the gaze of a man. Well, it looked similar to a man. With wide shoulders, a broad back, long legs, plus handsomeness that matched that of a celebrity, most of the girls in the class might've fallen for his looks after laying their gazes on him. Unfortunately, the two heads and four arms he owned scared away all his "admirers".
The head on the left side of the man had a gentle, and mature look. The head on the right side of the man had a more wild, and devil-like look. Both sides were sporting playful smiles that constantly grew bigger seeing the panicked students.
"Shall we begin class?" The head on the left asked the students .
…
Silence permeated through the classroom after hearing this question. No one dared to speak up. Though a couple of voices of displeasure were said earlier, in front of this alien-human thing, everyone had enough common sense not to talk. After all, though still young these students were the elites of society, they were the heir or heiress to many major corporations. The two-headed man automatically categorized their silence as agreement.
"Great! Since there's no objections, let us begin class. I am your teacher for this game. You may address me as Mr. Hyde's or Mr. Jekyll. Don't worry, as teachers with a conscience there will be no deaths or life threatening injuries that can happen during class…"
Hearing this many students couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They weren't stupid, all of them knew that a survival game couldn't possibly be a good thing. Alas, this relief was only short-lived because of his next words.
"Instead, you'll be risking your family's secrets! My, my, my! Tax invasion, falsified reports, illegal sales, illegitimate children, bribery, the list goes on and on! Your families' sure do get out there don't you think?"
Many students suddenly paled. At this moment, Matthew raised his hand.
"Why us? There are so many schools in this world, yet why must our school go through this!"
"Yeah, why us?"
"This isn't fair!"
Voices of agreement chimed in following Matthew's statement. At that moment the corners of both Mr. Hyde and Mr. Jekyll mouths curved downwards. They both opened their mouths and a distorted voice came out.
"ArE You QUEstioniNG THE rulEs oF tHe GaMe?
YoU shOUld be GraTEFul foR thiS cHANce!!! NO MORE Questions, LeT üs bęGin hOMeroom!"
Before anyone could even react, eight white cards suddenly appeared in front of eight students in the class. Two of these eight students, included Matthew and Nora. Looking at the confused and stunned faces of the students Mr. Hyde and Mr. Jekyll couldn't help but show satisfied expressions.
"Everybody who has received a white card is now the leader of their own team. Each team leader may select three other students to be their teammates. This team will be your permanent team for the rest of your classes so choose your teammates wisely. The lesson for this class will start in 10 minutes. Be ready."
After hearing this announcement, Adrienne promptly snapped out of her daze. Enduring the urge to swear, she quickly rereviewed her memories and 'became' Evelyn again.
Evelyn looked around the classroom, she could see the team leaders already choosing their teammates. Regarding this, Evelyn felt helpless. She wasn't exactly an extrovert in the class and preferred to stay low key. Unfortunately, this seemed to be backfiring on her as none of the teams seemed interested in her. She turned her attention to Matthew who had already finished recruiting all the members in his team. He obviously had Ava on his team, and his two best friends filled the other two spots. Evelyn turned her attention back to Nora. Nora had her only two friends on her team and was struggling to find her final member. Nora then turned around meeting Evelyn's gaze. Evelyn calmly removed her gaze and continued to look around.
A minute later she felt a tap on her shoulder. She looked back and saw Nora staring at her.
"Do you need something?" Evelyn asked politely.
"Be on my team." Nora said bluntly.
"Okay." Evelyn replied.
"You… You agreed!" Nora felt stunned seeing how easily Evelyn agreed. She was quite aware of her less than positive reputation.
Evelyn ignored the stunned Nora and faced her new teammates.
"Your names?"
The tall girl on Nora's right quickly answered.
"I'm Selene, the one beside me is Nora, and beside Nora is Amy. Let's have a pleasant cooperation."
Evelyn nodded her head.
Nora opened her mouth as if to say something but remained silent.
The sound of the school bell rang. Making the class become silent once more.
Mr. Jekyll smiled gently,
"Now that everyone has formed their teams please sit together so we can begin homeroom."
Everyone quickly moved around, and sat near their teammates. Tension filled the air as everyone waited to see what their "teacher" was going to say next.
A smile filled both of his faces.
"Let's do some ice breakers together."
