What would you do if you was just a teenager, stranded on a mysterious island, where nothing is what it seems to be? What would you do, if the world you knew suddenly disappears, only to leave a dangerous and unknown small island in front of your eyes? Would you keep on going, or would you break down?
Manhattan High is your average public high school for all youngsters from 13-19 years of age. Most would think it’s a paradise. I mean; huge and gorgeous park areas everywhere? Beautiful and refreshing lakes just waiting to be used, and an excellent school of money and stylish settings. Yet, for it to be average, it can’t be perfect. In this case, it’s the looks that are perfect, while the people themselves are not.
It’s got tons and tons of different groups, but they mostly evolve around four; the geeks, the popular ones, the rebels and the neutral ones. The geeks are those with bad fashion style, excellent grades and different personalities. Mostly the suck-up’s, or those who are favoured by the teachers.
The Neutral ones are the ones who just are there. No rules, nothing needed. Sure, they can be in different groups, but when it counts, they’re in the groups that are mostly unknown and boring.
But, the two worst groups are far from these. It’s the popular ones and the rebels, the sun and the moon, different but alike. The popular ones are the all-known people in the school. They’re usually rich, always got great fashion styles, and are known as the rulers of the school. They’re the teacher’s favourites, and they’re the ones who decided everything around them. Everyone wanna be them, no one wanna be against them, or in most people’s cases anyway. They’re excellent at everything they do, so, yes, competitive and powerful? You bet.
However, the rebels are the opposites. They’re, well, they’re the Throwbacks, the bad ones, the good-for-nothing gang who just cause havoc and panic. Some are rich, some poor and some in the middle. Yet, they’ve all got a certain spunk in them that is definitely hard to copy. They pretty much live the hard way, no matter what, and are hated by the teachers, as well as the popular ones. It’s one group against the other, dangerously so.
Yet, these guys don’t go to measures such as sucking-up to people, or begging for stuff. They see, they take, they have. Easy as that. What? They’re the slum rats, course they go to dangerous measures. They fight, they steal, they threaten and they don’t back up.
Who ever said High school was easy?

Furthermore, back to the school. Every year the school’s got this special thing. They go on class trip for a week, with all of those who sign up and pay for it, no matter what grades they get or what year they’re in. They get a private plane for all the students, as well as the teachers, and get a great hotel. So, yes, not many poor people get on this trip.
This year, right before the summer vacation, the principal’s decided to go to Hawaii, to get the students relaxed for a bit. Everyone was thrilled, and a new record was made for how many that were going, so many that two planes were needed. It was amazing, a memory of joy.
However, they never got to Hawaii. Half way there, the plane got some mechanical problems, and it crashed on a deserted island, away from civilisation and everything with it. Tons of the students and the teachers died, along with the pilots. Those who survived were devastated, yet they were also in panic, not knowing where they ended up, or what was going to happen. The plain was in parts, so fixing it was out of questions. Yet, that will never be their biggest problem. You see, there’s this tiny problem, with a group of people living on the other side of the island. You can pretty much say that they’re cannibals, not a good thing.
So, will they survive, or will they end up the same way the perished ones did? Or, a better question; who will live and who will die?
Will they ever get back to civilisation, or stay doomed forever?
Welcome to the Island of Despair! Let the games begin....xxxxx
