Milenya- *in head/walking with hands together in front* What is the King’s game here? If Ray is tough enough to take the abuse that comes with being a “Denizen” and a criminal in the school then where will the King go from there to test him

(Milenya looks up and puts hands hands behind her back)

Milenya- Ah well, that’s too much to think about right now

/////////////////Dread-Head\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

(Open with a first person perspective from Ray)

?- Mr. Ray, Mr. Ray, MR. RAY!!!!

(Ray is poked by Sofia and wakes up startled)

Ray- *drowsy* Huh, what?

Class- *snickers*

Ms. Galen- *fixes glasses* Could you answer this question:

(If a = 4 and b = 9, then which of the following is correct?

1. 8 + a + 8 + b = 104

2. 8 + a + 8b = 104

3. 8a + 8 + b = 104

4. 8a + 8b = 104)

Ray- *moves his hair out of the way* Uh, Yeah it’s D

Ms. Galen- *surprised* That is correct could you tell me how you know that

Ray- Isn’t it obvious if a=4 and b=9 and you need to get 104 just multiply them both by 8 then you get 32 + 72 = 104

(Ms. Galen is a little shocked)

Ms. Galen- What a good explanation Mr. Ray *stern* but please don’t sleep in my class

Ray- No promises Teach *puts thumb up*

(Ray nearly falls back to sleep but decides to look at Sofia with his head on the desk and understand why she acts like that)

Ray- *in head* What is up with her? She seems so scared of me yet I haven’t done anything to her

(Ray sits up a little bit which startles Sofia)

Ray- *in head* Just like that *sigh*

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

(Ray looks around the room)

Ray- *in head* This place is nice though

(Ray looks at the students snickering at him)

Ray- *in head* But what it upgrades in space and comfort

(Shot of Ray sitting, his eyes shadowed by his dreads and with all the other students staring at him from behind with a shadowy background over the students)

Ray-*in head* IT LACKS IN “WELCOME”

(bell rings)

Ms.Galen- Alright class that’s it for today

(Ray grabs his bag and starts to leave as Sofia gets up and scurries away)

Ray- *in head/not surprised* I expected as much

(Ray then looked at his list and had P.E. next)

Ray- Looks like I have P.E. next

(He gets there, gets changed into his P.E. gear and heads outside)

Coach- *whistle* Listen up everyone, I’m Coach Garron Blitz *points behind him* and this is Coach Hilt Reiner, you will be doing some warm-ups to not only get your body ready for some workouts, but to also see how proficient you are with these exercises

(Ray is unamused as he stands in a hunched over and slumped position, Blitz lifts up his whistle and starts to speak again)

Blitz- Now I have been made aware that we have our first “denizen” in this class *looks at Ray* but don’t let that hinder your performance; first running, any volunteers?

(Everyone is quiet)

?- I’ll go!

(Harriot raises his hand up to the challenge)

Blitz- Alright Uhhhh

Harriot- It’s Harriot sir

Blitz- *looks at clipboard* Alright Mr. Baryon and who else would like to go

(The room was quiet but then Ray spoke up due to being bored of the situation)

Ray- I’ll go! *he says with his hands in his pockets*

(Coach Blitz is a little intrigued and confused at Ray while Harriot is pissed with a tick mark on his head)

Blitz- Are you sure?

(He looks at Ray’s posture)

Blitz-*in head* This denizen prick what’s with his posture he acts like this isn’t a big deal

Ray- *stretches his arms* Yeah

Blitz- *shrugs* Alright *whistles*

(Ray and Harriot get on the line ready to race)

Blitz- Ok the goal here is to see your top speed and see who is your near equal in athletic ability for later exercises

(Blitz squats)

Blitz- Now I want you to go full speed when I blow this whistle all the way to coach Reiner, alright?

Harriot- *focused* Yes sir!

(Ray and Harriot get ready)

Blitz- Get Ready…

(Ray and Harriot raises their abdomens)

Blitz- Get Set…GO!!

(As soon as the whistle blows Ray bolts off and makes it to Reiner in a matter of seconds leaving Harriot in the dust)

(The wind blows past him moving his dread as he looks away from the starting line looking deathly serious then he lightens up)

Ray- Welp I’m done *goes over to the sideline*

(Everyone is left Baffled after what had transpired)

Everyone there- WHAT JUST HAPPENED!!!!!
