You like stories, right? Of course you do, or else you wouldn't be here. I have a proposition for you - just hear me out for a second.
I just transferred to [REDACTED] Academy, a boarding school for the most elite and (occasionally) gifted students across the country. Today, February 12th, 2014, is my first day. Changing schools right in the middle of the year is tough, especially since the entire student council seems to want a piece of me, but that's not what I need your help with.
You see, someone in this school killed my father, and I won't stop searching until I find out who.
