The Stillness - Chapter 1 by Chrysanthemum

"All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone." - Blaise Pascal

What do you do when you can't fight off your demons? You run. Run like hell, and pray to all of the gods that you never trip.

All of that running has brought you to your third school in as many months. It was the only school left in the Mainland that would accept you even with a record like yours. You're all too aware that you're on your last chance, and that last chance is St. Vera's. An inclusion school that will accept anyone regardless of their race, background or circumstances.

It becomes evident almost immediately that everyone there ended up at a place like this for a reason. In a past that you are staunchly against confronting, you faced down far more terrifying things, but somehow you get the feeling that this school is going to be the end of you.

Beggars can't be choosers though, and frankly, your legs are starting to get tired.​
