Three weeks ago, you graduated from high school. In addition, three weeks ago, you also received a dark blue envelope. It was sealed with red wax and garnished with various designs of unknown origin. Upon opening it, you found a rather cheery note. Well, as cheery as a note can be when you don’t know where it’s from and your name is scrawled in big cursive letters. It read as follows:
Hello, dear candidate! You have been selected out of many to join an honor roll. Your performance in sports, various grades, and activity have been monitored for quite some time now. Should you choose to accept this, you’ll need to join a meeting in the Staff Lounge of your high school. You’ll be joining some very bright minds and talented sportsmen, as well as a few other promising individuals. Each of you will be given orders and questions, which will need to be filled out. Afterwards, you’ll journey around the world to meet others in this honor roll, as well as take care of a few orders of business as you see fit.
-Excited,
Cornelious
You didn’t know anybody by the name of Cornelious, but the idea of joining the honor roll was indeed very exciting. You were unsure of what else would happen until three weeks later. You were greeted by a man without legs. In the place of legs, a single intricate device was attached to his hips. A wheel was at the bottom, turning and rolling to direct the man. He introduced himself as James, although did not give you his last name. After welcoming you to something called “The Society of the Supernatural,” he asked you to read a second piece of paper. You had brought the envelope with you, although you were unsure why. Upon further inspection of the blue paper, you noticed a bit of writing on the inside. Tearing the envelope open at the seals, you discovered a whole new message. At the bottom, there were a few questions that seemed to need filled.

"You've received a letter," her father tells her. She turns around and accepts the letter. She isn't surprised to see that it was already opened. Her mother stands next to her father. She was clearly unable to hide her excitement.
"I've gotten a scholarship?" She announces. She couldn't help but sound confused. Her? For what reason? Her parents automatically start celebrating, but their cheers sound distant to her ears. She is unable to fathom why she of all people would receive a scholarship. She was in no way shape or form book smart. On top of that, she was known to be a troublemaker. Why would they take a chance on her? Hmph, this place looks far away. Any place is better than here. She forces a smile on her face, but other than that, she shows little enthusiasm.
The man that met her was certainly strange. He went by the name James. He seemed friendly enough, but still, she couldn't help but feel cautious about this strange man. With her thoughts going wild, she almost misses his request to read the letter further. It dawns on her that there was more to this piece of paper. Her brows furrow at the questions. "What is this?" She asks.
James smiled, quickly answering the question. "It's just a bit of required information, as you've been selected to join us. Cornelius offers this to every newcomer, but it's their choice to either fill it out and step in, or leave it and walk away." His smile remained, his hands linked carefully in front of him.
When in the school building Matt speculated over the new words.He tried a lot of methods but ended up with blank after blank after blank.Matt lost hope and gave up and opened his laptop.He started on his project of making a code that is simpler than Javascript.
He worked for hours until his mobile hot spot died he sighed and plugged it in"I hope I make it to the end of the school year"Matt muttered to himself.this was a once and a life time obligation if he passed he could get a good job and send money back to his family who were waiting in Japan just cause people were rich there didn't mean people weren't poor. he hoped his family was alright trying to feed his 9 brothers and sisters.

As she reads she silently mouths each word out loud. A childish habit she never seemed to outgrow. At least she is quiet now, and not causing trouble or distracting poor Lewis from her book.
Title: Becca Bayrn
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk
Music loud and women warm, I've been kicked around
Since I was born
And now it's alright, it's okay
And you may look the other way
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man
As the subway rumbled underneath Becca's feet, her head nodded in time to the music and the cords of her headphones moved up and down as well. She began rhythmically tapping her foot in time to the music, interrupting the strange, almost vibrative feeling of the metal car passing through as her well worn Nike's sneaker lifted into the air. Her thoughts were completely away from the world, trapped in her own fantasies. As she got more into it, a goofy grin started to spread, little by little, across her face, and she started to hum along, attracting some strange looks from some of the other passengers. With her eyes still closed, she had no idea that she looked more then a little strange, with that wide grin on her face and her humming along to music no one else could hear. But, when Becca was absorbed in her music, she didn't have a care in the world.
Eventually, she was nearly thrown out of her seat as the subway halted at her stop, breaking the serene feeling of living in her own little bubble. Her earbuds fell out, the old iPod wrapped in royal purple duct tape from the time when she was a kid and thought that playing "I Belive I Can Fly" while jumping off the high trampoline into the freshly cut grass would give her ability to fly, skittering across the ground with a loud crash. The cords bounced wildely, pinging against the tactile patterns of the metal floor of the subway as it landed at the feet of an older woman. "Oh no, I'm so sorry m'aam," Becca apologized over and over again, as she quickly picked up and replaced the earbuds in her ears, wincing and quickly dodging as people began moving out of the subway. "Ouch, sorry, excuse me, that's a very nice heel," Eventually, she was able to straighten up, grabbing her bag. She couldn't belive that this time, she was coming back from the library, and carrying her ratty old knapsack that had been a gift from her grandfather a few years back, instead of a heavy leather backpack filled with what seemed like hundreds of textbooks. Three weeks before, she had actually graduated! This meant college, and sports, and an entirely new world to explore.
Becca moved down the sidewalk, enjoying the steady thump of her shoes hitting the cracked sidewalk as a beat to the music that still blasted in her ears. She couldn't resist, and spun around a little, her hand smacking the metal pole of a stop sign, letting it shake slightly and ring out. Before she knew it, she had reached the apartment. An old habit from training for sports, she took the stairs one at a time, though her long lanky legs would allow her to take them two at a time. The music kept going, not even a tumble across a subway floor damaging the hardy speakers that had lasted ever since Becca was a kid. She reached the apartment that she shared with her parents. She knocked in time to the music, still bouncing on her feet and the same goofy grin on her face. Her mother opened the door, and Becca skipped in. It took her a moment to realize, as she threw the bag onto the couch, which, given that the apartment was rather small, didn't take much of a throw, that her mother was trying to get her attention, tiredly waving her hand in front of Becca's face. One hand reaching to remove the earbuds, and the other to play the music, she asked, "Yeah, what's up?" Becca, being a normal person, expected the tired, I've-been-working-all-day-and-I-can't-deal-with-this-answer to be something along the lines of, You didn't do the dishes,, Clean your room, or You forgot to call us after you got out of the library! (The last one was more frequent then you would think. Becca self-conciously patted her back pocket, giving an almost auidble sigh when she realized that it was still there. Of course, some small part of her was hoping that all that time in sports had gotten her a scholarship, but it was small enough that she was surprised when her mother said, a smile growing, "Becca, you've been chosen for some sort of..honor roll?"
"I'VE BEEN WHAT?" Becca's jaw nearly dropped to the ground in shock. "You're serious?!" She was sitting at the kitchen table, and her eyes, in an almost dramatic, comedic fashion, went from the paper to her parents, then back again. "You're serious. Oh my gosh. What even is this?" Her father sighed, and placed a hand on her shoulder. "I'm going to be honest, kid, I really have no idea. Your mother and I weren't even expecting a scholarship for you, but-" He stopped at Becca's hard, slightly angry look, a complete coinflip from earlier. "Seriously? What did you expect out of me, a job at some fast food resteraunt?" "Well, err, yes!" Becca's mother laid a hand on her husband's shoulder. "Steve, Becca, please." "No! I'm going to this honor roll thingie-whatever it is, and I'm proving that just because I had made one mistake, it doesn't mean that I can't come back!" She stormed to her room, slamming the door and nearly shaking the entire apartment. A muffled, "Sorry!" came from inside.
Becca had finally arrived at the meeting place, this time blasting Dancing Queen at the top volume. Now that she had left the house, she was in a much better mood. Despite her arguments with her father, Becca always managed to bounce back quickly. What else could she do? All that she could do in life was bounce like a rubber bouncing ball, because that's literally what they were made of. She couldn't bounce like a plastic bouncing ball, now could she? Wait, was that possible? Before long, Becca realized that she had made it to the place that had been specificed by the letter. Right. Great. As she removed a earbud, the nervousness was starting to set in. "Right. Letter. This is the place. And yoouuu'''reeeee..." the last word was stretched out as she not-so-stealthily reached for the letter, checking the name. "James. Right. Okay, Hi, er, it apears I'm in the right place. What were the questions I had to answer?"
