BRIDE GATE HIGH

In the halls of Bridge Gate, only the independence of students matter. This tradition is followed by Bridge gate for years. On the contrary students became the leaders of the school instead of principals and teachers. Well their titles remain the same but their discipline stays in the dusty drawers of Bridge Gate High. LUNA “ morning lonelyhearts. It has been too long no see.” When I greet my bestfriends with that smile, Randy, Alice, Brandon and Melanie run to hug me. We love a big group hug. “Where have you been all summer?” Brandon asked while walking to the back corner of the class. “ New York. My brother had been sent there for another case. So most of the time I was alone hanging around.” I laughed and looked around to check the class. Timothy was right behind me standing. “oh! Clayton. You’re here.” He smiled warmly and put his hand on my waist to lead me out of the classroom. “ hell yeah!” he leaned to my ear to whisper “ I missed working with you Berry.” I smiled at him and checked around to see if anyone else is watching us. “Don’t worry. Form this day to the end we’re going to work together.” I looked in his eyes with a determined stare and he smiled more. “See you around biscuit.” He said and walked through the hallway. I sigh and turn around to go back to class and bumped into someone. It felt like bumping into a stone wall. “oh sorry.” I said and looked at him. At that moment I started to freak out because he was amazingly handsome. I was stunned by his looks. He looked at me and started to walk away. “um, hey! Are you the new student? It’s the first time I see you here.” I walked behind him. He stopped and turned back to me and looked at my mini skirt with a weird stare. I was sure that he didn’t like the way I dressed. “I’m new and I don’t need a tour.” He said and left. I was angry I shouted behind him. “I wasn’t gonna give you one!” he didn’t care and kept walking. For the first time a man was not impressed by my looks and I was annoyed. RANDY The teacher came into the classroom and closed the door. We took our places obediently. For the first time we started very ready to listen but I knew that it was not gonna last long. The teacher started to introduce the lecture and at that time Luna entered the class and walked to her place. The teacher started to talk about rules about late comer students. Here we go. They start again. I looked at my friends. We stood up and left the class one by one. Melanie said to the teacher. “we are gonna be late for today.” And walked away. Then Alice said “so consider this rule again Miss Harrison.” We left the class and head to the lounge. We sit at our meeting area all the time. “So Randy!” said Alice. “You went to Louisiana to search for your sister again.” “Well yeah I did. But nothing to find.” Brandon started talking. “how do you know that she was in Louisiana?” I scratched my hair. “I searched. And I was very sure that I was gonna find her there.” Luna held my hand. “Randy. We are going to find her together. I promise. If she is out there somewhere we are going to find her.” I smiled and nod. Alice was playing with her hair and when she noticed that I am looking at her she smiled. Brandon nudged me. “are you going to be the head of the music club this year? We are not freshman anymore. You gotta be the founder.” I smiled “hell yeah! I’m gonna! Right away.” I stood up and started to run to the music class. ALICE While they were chatting I was just checking social media. “Alice!” Melanie called. “are you coming? We’re going to the backyard.” “nah! I’m just fine here.” I said and waited for them to leave. After they left I walked to the toilet, locked the door and light a cigarette. I started smoking. Then I heard someone crying next door. I listened for a while but I didn’t recognize who that was. I took a cigarette from the package and reach it to her from the space between two cabins. She took it and said “actually I don’t smoke but thank you.” “You’re welcome.” I said and sit down to the ground. She did the same. I gave my lighter to her. After she light the cigarette she gave it back to me. “I’m Alice. What’s your name?” She didn’t answer for a while then she responded. “Ella.” “so, why are you so upset Ella?” she sighed and leaned her head back. “This place. It’s not how I expected. It’s really bad.” “oh come on! Is that why you’re crying? What did you expect from a God damn high school?” “it doesn’t work like that. What you do here is very wrong.” I laughed sarcastically. “what is wrong actually Ella?” “students leading this place like owners.” “well, maybe they are the owners.” “no, it can’t be.” “Why not? This town is founded by parents and their ancestors. We own this place. It’s ours.” She stopped crying. Now she was furious. “That’s mean.” She got out of the cabin and walked away. I just sighed and kept sitting there smoking. BRANDON We arrived at the backyard with Luna and Melanie. Melanie opened the door to the old gym. We entered one by one. “oh I missed this place!” Luna said. I looked around. There was a fog in the big room. This place isn’t used for years and it was gloomy. “as we planned before this place needs us a lot. But too much work to do after school hours.” We planned to turn this place to a big nightclub for teenagers. Yes, a place in school but the entrance is from the other street beside the school. Also there is this entrance from the school. “Brandon, we are going to start tonight and fix this place.” “Alright” I said and looked around. After we check the place we head to our next class. A new teacher entered the class. She looked around. “what is this?” she said. Alice spoke “excuse me?” “these gestures I mean. A teacher entered the class and look at the way you are sitting in your desks.” She started walking around the students. Everyone started to sit properly. We also did the same. She was tall and slim. She had brown hair and blue eyes. She wore high heels. She was very beautiful. I couldn’t stop looking at her for a moment. “let me tell you something people. I’m not like any other teacher here. And I heard a lot about Bridge Gate high independence stories. I’m very impressed. And I support you. But when it comes to the order of the system don’t face with me. Especially opposite sides.” I looked at my friends. We were just listening to her. I was sure that we all were thinking the same thing. She was just like other teachers and she was going to get used to this school in a short time. At that time Sam gave a piece of paper to me. I opened and read it. “I want this woman one night and you get an open cheque.” I looked at him with a frown and shook my head no. He raised his eyebrow and showed the cheque from his pocket. I thought for a minute than mouthed at him. “deal". MELANIE After the lesson I took my bag and walk out of the classroom. There he was waiting for me with his car. I looked around and walked to the car quickly. I got in. “hey babe.” He leaned and kiss me on the lips. “hi Jeremy.” He started talking while driving away. “I’m taking you to our favorite place and we are gonna have so much fun.” I sighed and looked out of the window. He put his hand on my tigh. I jumped up as I startled. I moved his hand away. “Jeremy I want to go home.” He asked “why?” “because I’m so tired. I need to rest.” He looked at me with a disappointed face. “oh sweet love. Aren’t you delicate?” I insisted. “please Jeremy! I wanna go.” He laughed and kept driving. “no sweetie. I really need you. And remember your father gave you to me.” I frowned. I was feeling hopeless again and I started crying silently and looked out of the window. When we arrived at the house I didn’t want to step out of the car. I took a deep breath and did it. I walked into the house and into that room once again. He followed me. “ good girl.” He said and started to tie my hair. “no! Jeremy! I don’t want it.” He laughed while unbuttoning his shirt. “oohh I like it more when you resist.” I started to cry. “let me go. Seriously!” I was shaking and sobbing. He came closer and held my head in his hands. “oh sweet love. Don’t cry. If you’re upset I’ll not touch you. We’ll just sleep and rest peacefully together. That’s all.” He hugged me tightly and I started weeping. I was thinking that I was never going to be able to run away from this maniac house. I looked at the whips rack and ropes he tied me and kept weeping loudly as he hugged me tighter.
