Graduation Day

Maxie Daer

Sunbury Middle School, South Broken Delta

August 12, ██26

Me, Vanessa, and the others have agreed that the 20th, the day after tomorrow, will be the day of our "graduation." Before that date, we're all brothers and sisters—united under the protection of Ms. Kia Armas. And it is out of respect for Ms. Kia that we promise not to massacre each other before we graduate (if anyone breaks this promise, I'll rip their throat out). But after midnight on the 20th, the law of the jungle is coming to this school! And THEN we'll see what everyone's really made of! If me and the other girls want to stay here, we'll have to either beat Vanessa into submission, or, if we don't want to fight, we can go and fend for ourselves in the wilderness!
