Chapter 2 - The Hierarchy at it's peak.

Next day*

I walked into the school gates, hoping to not see any higher-ups. But everywhere I go, there were lots of A-ranked students...I thought it was supposed to be rare and legendary. Just then, I recieved a notification from Mr.Hierarchy.

[You are broke. And broke people do not receive A-rankings. Only rich people and silver spoons recieve such limited edition rankings.]

So...most of these students, are rich?

I'm not even that broke...I have a very expensive iPhone!

notification bell*

[ Darling, that iPhone was 50% off at the time...]

How'd he even know that!

I led out a loud sigh and walked to the classroom again. When I got there...the popular girl was sitting on my seat. I couldn't do anything about it, considering the fact that I'm not a higher-up. So I went to the back row and sat there. There wasn't even a teacher in class, cause she's dead. So they left us alone in class for the whole day.

I put my earphones in and listened to music for half an hour. Until my phone rang--it was an anonymous number. When I picked it up the person said, "Soo Hyun you're running low on energy, kill someone. I need to see blood. It's a must. Bye bye."

I assumed that it was Mr.Hierarchy. So I stood up and went to the gym class. That's where the lower ranked students usually are. When I walked in, they all seemed englightened and they had bright smiles on their faces. This is going to be a hard mission...but I cannot fail it.

So I asked one of the girls to head to the bathroom with me. Claiming that I needed help with my hair. She didn't even hesitate and followed me into the girl's bathroom.

"So... I'm Soo Hyun."

"I'm Myu-ri."

"Oh that's a nice name."

"Thank you."

"You are so kind. But I'm sorry."

"Oh...for what?"

"For what I'm about to do."

I pulled her hair and bumped her head against the mirror. About 30 times...until she bled to death...Why would I do something so horrible to such an innocent person?

I regretted doing that to her. But I would do anything to save my life and I'm sure she would've done it too, it she was in my shoes.

I left her dead body there. And ran out of the bathroom as quick as I could. When I closed the door behind me. I heard voices approaching...I hid behind a locker and waited for them to surpass me. But oh dear...they went into the bathroom. But surprisingly...they burst out in laughter?.

I peaked my head around the corner and saw the popular girl, along with her minions, kicking Myu-ri's body like a soccer ball.

I accidentally led out a loud gasp and all of them came out of the bathroom...

But before they could see me. Someone pulled me into the science laboratory and put their hand on my mouth, telling me to shut up...how dare this person tell me to shut up!

I turned around and looked straight into their face --it was the science freak... Mason. He asked me if I was okay and slowly put my hair behind my ears, locking eyes with me as he was doing it. I could feel my stomach turning round and round like a ferris wheel.

He's brunette hair was blowing with the wind. He's breath smelled like watermelon.

He moved closer to my face...but right then.

My stomach rumbled!...how embarrassing!

I held my breath and hoped he hadn't heard that...but instead, he burst out laughing.

"You must be hungry, huh?"

I chuckled and said, "Yes..haha."

He offered to take me to the nearest convenience store and I agreed. Only because he's energy bar was full...I still don't trust him, at all.

We arrived at the convenience store.

Bought us some chocolate yakult.

Got us Kopiko candy.

And he dropped me off at my house...by foot. And not some fancy car. He also didn't give an eerie smile like the popular girl did and he just waved goodbye as he walked off.

As I stepped through the front door...I received another notification from Mr.Hierarchy.

[You did a great job today...but tomorrow, you shall take it up a notch. I'll allow you to hurt a higher-up. But only on one condition. If you allow them to hurt you first... you'll be able to hurt them badly, even kill them. Goodbye.]

To be continued.
