[Friday,19th/July/2019, Red Oak Prep, 22:47]
As Chloe announced Jason's name, a roar of cheers echoed through the gym, mingling with excited clapping from the crowd. Jason swaggered toward the stage with that practised, self-assured grin, his confidence heightened by the chaotic cocktail of substances coursing through him. His eyes were a little too bright, his smirk a little too wide, and for those who knew him best, there was a wild edge to his movements tonight, but they chopped it up to him being excited.
He took the gold-plated metal sceptre handed to him by Chloe, giving an exaggerated, mocking bow to the crowd. "Thank you, thank you, my subjects" Jason's voice boomed, laced with the kind of arrogance that had always made him both popular and infuriating to many at Red Oak Prep. "I knew you'd make the right choice." A few of his football buddies whistled and cheered, but even among them, there were a few exchanged glances.
