Close your eyes and say the words New York. Open them. What did you see? What did you imagine? The city has the highest population than any other state in the US. Everywhere you look, there is life. Even the damaged streets where the teenage troubles turn to drugs to solve their problems, or the market stalls selling all sorts of wonders to make a living. Here, everyone fits in somehow. And here, anything goes. Anything. If you're a screaming child wanting sweets from the local store, you can relate to millions of little ones kicking up a fuss at the park. If you're a teenage mother trying to juggle relationship, exams and parenting at the same time, you can relate to thousands in the same situation as you. If you're at high school being outcasted because you're a guy and you wear makeup, you can fit in with hundreds the same as you. This is where everything happens. This is where you can be who you really want to be.

NY High is the main attraction slap bang in the middle of the city. Thousands upon thousands of parents send their kids here, particularly if they're not wanted at home. The building itself has been around for generations. But inside, the image is so suddenly ripped up into tiny shreds and changed that it is literally like a movie clip. Snap, perfect beautiful scenery. Snap, kids of all ages and cliques conversing and creating mayhem. But much like the city, the school is where everyone can find some way to fit in. Even if you are instantly shoved into one particular category, there will be someone you can relate to. Stories of all kinds have been passed around this school, and the infamous messages on the bathroom walls have overwritten themselves so much that you can hardly tell what has been written. Surprisingly enough, the students attending seem to enjoy themselves. Wouldn't there be stories flying around the media by now if they didn't? Would the school have the same reputation?

How will you fit in here? Will you be the teenage drama queen, struggling to reach the very top only to be dropped down like a ton of bricks? Would you be the innocent studying geek who is torn in to a world of despair and turmoil? Will you be the outcasted emo kid always rumoured to be cutting their wrists? Or one of the few said to have shacked up with the religious study teacher? There will be blood spilt inside the walls of this seemingly perfect school. Drama unfolds everywhere; in every corner. Underage sex, drugs, alcohol abuse. You name it, and it can, and most probably will happen. But unless you want to be sent home, unless you want to ruin your future careers, whatever they may be, don't scream. More importantly, don't say a word ; }
