We are late to school again it's the third time this week. This time we are definitely getting suspended.
"What are you doing?! Run faster!!" I shrieked
"It's not my fault I don't have inhumane stamina!" Said Natalya, my childhood friend
I slowed down my speed to match her pace
"If you wanted to do that you could have just carried me piggyback!"
"I don't want it to look like I am your little dog. Who would carry you!"
"Honestly, doesn't sound that bad"
We finally reached school we could hear many students talking and laughing.
"Looks like the teacher isnt here yet we can play chess" i said
"Chess? You wanna be railed again?" She added
As our parents were both friends and scientists it was quite natural for us to be friends as well. We were mostly raised in a lab which caused our intelligence to be slightly more then an average person. However we were also raised with slight inaccuracies which caused the limbic system in our brains to deform thus getting rid of most of the empathy i have, although it wasnt too bad for me. Natalya's condition was way worse and she seems to only have empathy for those she can relate to.
We started playing chess for a few minutes
"Don't you think it is odd that we arrived late and the teacher is still no where to be seen?"
That was good observation by Natalya. Although anyone with a higher IQ than 50 could have noticed that
"Yeah I think she is late"
After a while the power suddenly went out many students started screaming.
"Power should come back after a while"
And just as Natalya said the power returned.
At the front of the class was residing a big black screen. For a few minutes it flickered then finally turned on.
"Oh my! There are quit some children here!"
The mysterious black figure with a light voice spoke. It appeared as if they were trying to sound deep.
"You children may be confused right now. But I promise it will all make sense"
"Now! I'll start the story from the beginning. It all started 17 years ago when all of your parents played a game called "The game of intellect". It was a simple game where they would play together and betray others.
I looked at Natalya to make sure I heard the exact same thing she did
"It's the first time i heard about that" She mouthed
"But the thing is no one won the game and your parents debt remained almost unchanged."
"What does that have to do with us??!"
The quit kid screamed I think his name was kanzo. He usually doesn't really talk to others but right now he seems horrified almost as if he knew something more than us.
"Your parents' debt will now be given to you! And you have to play this game in order to reduce it! As simple as that!"
"WHAT THE HELL!!!"
The kids screamed again but their voices were blocked out by the voice
"Now! Now! I will start the game!"
A white card appeared in my desk. Stating the rules for the first game.
"Wolf game"
