Death Games

Chapter 1 : Welcome to WIC Company!

In the cafeteria, noise could be heard from outside. All the students were laughing and talking to each other while eating their food. Some of them were sitting in circles. It was not a new thing for high school students to have their own circle. Except for one girl, she is Casey.

Casey is a quiet girl who doesn't really like talking and prefers to be alone. If you think that Casey is an innocent, submissive, and easy-going girl, then you are wrong!

She can be cruel if someone messes with her. Casey was once called out by the principal after she banged a boy's head against the toilet wall when he tried to sexually harass her.

Unfortunately, it didn't end well. Casey was still punished. Because the boy is the principal's son.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Look, who dares to sit in my place."

It was Leya. The troublemaker girl. She was one of the most influential girls in the school. A troublemaker, and a bully. She is powerful and always does as she pleases. Like now, claiming everything as her own. Including Casey's seat.

Casey stared straight ahead and crossed her arms. She refused to bow down to the troublemaker girl beside her. Casey had a firm stand. No one could insult and trample her.

Leya asked, "What are you doing here? Get the hell out of here!"

Casey kept silent and did not respond.

"Hey, I told you... get out of here!" shouted Leya and they instantly became the center of attention.

All the students suddenly became silent and looked at them curiously.

"I did what I wanted, b***h!"

"Are you losing your mind?! How dare you call me "b***h"!"

Leya grabbed the plate of mac and cheese on the table and poured it over Casey's head. Casey was not surprised by what Leya did. Instead, Casey locked her gaze on the girl.

Leya, Katie, and Jenny laughed at the sight of dirty Casey. All the students laughed too. Casey stood up and looked at her. Leya had expected that Casey would run out of the cafeteria and cry.

"What - are - you - doing?!" asked Casey with emphasis.

"I'm doing what I want, b***h!" said Leya with a cocky smile.

'Buggg!!!'

A punch had landed right on Leya's nose and made the girl scream and fall to the floor.

Katie, who saw that, immediately pushed back at Casey. She was about to throw a punch, but Casey quickly deflected it.

Leya tried to stand up while enduring the pain in her nose. She quickly joined in to attack Casey. Seeing that, Jenny didn't stay silent. She ran behind Casey and prepared to gang up on her.

The students who saw it were amazed and curious. Instead of breaking up, they cheered and encouraged them to fight each other. Their cheers made them even more eager to hurt each other. An uncontrollable noise was made in the cafeteria.

Casey glared at Leya and pushed her backwards onto the table. Katie pulled Casey's hair and made him scream in pain. Casey tried to get Katie's hands off her. Realizing that she couldn't waste any time, Casey quickly scratched Katie's face.

Katie screamed in pain and spontaneously took her hand out of Casey's hair. She grabbed her cheek and felt hot and bleeding.

Jenny, who saw that, felt hesitant. She was now too scared to help. She walked backwards until she bumped a student.

"Jenny, what are you doing?!" shouted Katie, who was angry to see Jenny stepping back.

Jenny didn't answer Katie's yell. She instead ran out of the cafeteria.

"You f*****g b***h!" Leya yelled at Jenny.

Leya gave Casey a hateful look. She attacked again without hesitation. Casey tried to defend herself from Leya's attack. And just then, Mrs. Thalia - the physics teacher - comes to break them up.

"Hey, stop it!"

Instantly, all the student's cheering stopped. They went back to their tables and whispered to each other.

Casey felt a limp in his body and his vision darkened.

Casey awoke in a white room. She was familiar with this place. The school medical center. Her body was in terrible pain. She screamed in pain. Her face felt hot and sore. It looked like her cheek had been scratched too, but she didn't know by whom. Casey woke up slowly, with a deep throbbing pain in her head.

She looked in the mirror. There was a bandage on her cheek.

"Oh, thank goodness you're awake," a woman said.

It was Mrs. Katherine. She is a school medical staff member.

"Has class started yet?"

"You don't need to attend class today. Just get some rest. You can go home when you feel better," Mrs. Katherine said with a smile.

"Where are they?"

"You mean Katy, Leya, and Jane?"

"Yes, did they get punished?"

"No, they didn't. They've already gone home. I think you're gonna get in trouble. You're messing with the wrong girl."

Casey was silent.

She knew that she would probably be suspended or maybe expelled. Leya's dad was one of the most influential people in the school. He was the main benefactor. That's why Leya had become so arrogant and conceited.

"Ah, I see," Casey said irritably.

"Here's your bag," Mrs. Katherine gave her a brown bag, "I have to go take care of something. If you need anything, I'm in the staff room."

"Okay. Thank you very much."

Mrs. Katerine nodded and walked away.

Casey took the phone from the bag and opened it. An anonymous email was received!
