( PLOT )

IN A TIME WHERE EVEN YOUR OWN ACTIONS
ARE WATCHED AT EVERY MOMENT
YOUR THOUGHTS NO LONGER YOUR OWN
AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, ALL YOU CAN SAY IS 2+2=4
WHAT WILL YOU DO?

[/b]

Enter a world, unlike the one you presently know; it's the year 2008, but nothings the same. We are no longer located in the "United States", in fact we now know very little of our original homeland. No, instead every one of us are in a place--a superstate-- now known as "Oceania". We the people are no longer known as a "free country", in fact no country is. Oceania is ruled by one ruler, Big Brother

WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

The preceding is the Party's slogan-- dictated by Big Brother and the ministries of love, peace and truth. It's the law, and the rules everyone in our world now live by. Our society is nothing of what we have striven for anymore. Spouces are chosen, children turn in parents, spouses each other-- all for breaking simple rules. Rules such as not going to public punishments, for speaking ill of the party, having a mind of your own quite simply.

This is our world, the world children will go forth into when the time comes. So then, what do we have to look forward to, to press upon? The new generation.

Welcome to Holminster High, a place that was once nothing more then a public school in a small town. Over a century year old Holminster has been carrying traits and groups that the party found ideal over it's time. In the beginning of its years, Holminster found itself with a group that ruled the school, the guardians. These students possessed qualities of leaders, but the most vicious of sorts. They took control over the school, chose and created punishments for students that they thought weren't ideal for society; and with them they chose ones who'd punish and watch their school.

Located in the United States at the time of it's creation, it's needless to say that no matter how hard the guardians tried to keep their utopia from the school staff, it would find its way out. Students would tell parents, a teacher seeing something they weren't supposed to see. Thus, they would have to shut down from time to time-- just a few years-- because after all, such a thing as dictatorship was supposed to be unheard of in the US.

It's not to say, however, it doesn't exist now. For within the last decade, the Party has decided something. Proles can't be stupid. With every prole that once lived in the time before the Party took control either dead or dying, their society is growing back into a slump, an almost middle era state, where only the higher ups know anything and the rest of the population--which deftly make up 99%-- are reverting to nothing more then brainwashed sods. Now, it seems the world of Oceania must learn again, every one of them not just the inner party, but nothing more then what the Party needs and wants of course.

Schools that were closed for years, suddenly reopened transformed into boarding schools. Holminster being one of them. The Party, having found old journals, information left poorly behind by former guardians had decided the system ideal for their schools, and chose children in the nearby surroundings to inherit their schools old way of life-- a life so utterly close to the one they would live be in the future, but had come directly from the past.

With a decade of schooling, beyond basic math and reading, going on within Oceania changes have come. Proles are working faster, leaning a keen mind towards the party then they had before, diligent always willing and ready to work. Brainwashed. Yet within this decade, the party may have made one fatal mistake.

The boarding schools are required by all, pulling city kids in and children from nearby rural areas. And with a decade now, there is certainly a change in mindset. Rural children have always been less influenced by the party, being further away from ministry and city control they're able to grow minds of their own. Rural children have never had to worry about the ministry as bad as city ones, who are in the root of it all--and in one swoop could be picked up for disobeying, as easy as adults. In the rural world, you are further away, country-like, separate. Some of them don't even have the televisions in rooms so the Party can watch your every move. They're safer, more like an individual then the ones in the city. And it shows.

Students from rural areas, when they first arrive at Holminster, speak out more then those who have had family that endured the guardians for a century, that live in the city itself. They look different, or try to appear it, not as uniform as the rest of the students. These students are warned day one, given a months leeway by the guardians, to understand the rules of the school before they can become one of the ones to simply become a punished. There are some, that don't converts, though. Certain students from the outside-- and even some, namely punished or curious children, city children-- keep their minds open. They see the differences, the cruelty, everything on behind the scenes.

For you see, the school is just the same as it was a century ago, yes, but it's harsher, far more brutal. Instead of just a few students and six years of time, they must now deal with the world outside. The walls were chosen for this specific time in a child's life, because by the time one enters junior high--age eleven-- they tend to be more curious, assertive, their own person with opinions and judgements. And this certainly isn't allowed, when the Party started this system they wanted to annihilate this trait in people early one, show them what would happen if they disobeyed as the thoughts come. Yet, still, there are those that go against that all.

Revolutionaries. This is a group that used to be rare and hard to find, and often put out before any of them could do much damage to the society; but with all system changes, some things bring upon destruction. It seems the Party didn't quite plan that children, yes mere children, from places they let be for population growth and farming, may try to bring a change. There are some that do, and they've formed a group--though no where near the amount of the regular student body; but they exist, and they are strong, thoughtful, independent minds. Minds that seek change, minds that touch those that have lived with in the system their entire lives.

The revolutionary children do notice the horrors, try to interfere, try to tell the school staff that children and friends of theirs are being tortured, tormented, but that's thing. Everyone of the adults, every city person, is in on it. This is their society, the one to grow into, they can't change it. People have tried for decades, and each have ended in failure, to be dead on the inside and just exist by ministry torture. Any and all uprisings are taken down before they can change the masses, but now the masses have ammo. The party has given them intelligence, a larger closer group to try and bring forth change, and others who have for decades been suppressed and want change now.

The wait, though not so quietly-- often times a revolutionary is caught doing some deed they shouldn't be a watcher, and a public punishment isn't served. After all, it's not good to show the rest of the student body that something is off, something is going on under the surface of their "perfect utopia". They must move silently, help when can, as the punishments and the outside would darken and worsen.
