Gooseberry High

Extraño a mi papa ya mis hermanos.


It was good to see them but now I miss them much more than I did before.

Um
No ?

The fuck am I supposed to be afraid of some woods for? Ain't shit out there that a gun can't handle. Should have fucking let me bring mine

Multiple prefects at this point have come to the staff about what's been going on in the woods. During dinner, Ms. Vector stands up to make an announcement on the subject.

"Students, we want to let you all know that the recent events in the forest with an unknown magical entity are being looked into. The staff have already had multiple discussions about what has changed and why, but until we have diagnosed the problem, we want to emphasize the importance of school rules. They are for your safety. Do not go out after curfew, do not go to the Grotto, and always stay on the trails."

"And," a voice cuts in. It's Mr. Calderon-Boot. "Stop responding to the anonymous writer. There's strong evidence it has something to do with the woods. Plus, the whole thing is terrible for school morale and encourages bullying. That's not the atmosphere we want here at Gooseberry."

Mr. Merrill looks sceptical about that connection, but no one else speaks up to refute his point. Vector thanks Calderon-Boot, and turns back to the student body. "We've been lenient with you all until now," she says. "The forest has always protected the children of this school. But until we better understand what's happening, the rules will be strictly enforced. Curfew is from 10 PM to 6 AM. No sleepovers and no camping."
