- Narrator: This story is about High School. It is a story based around the authoritarian regime that all schools impose and that we'll concentrate on later in the narration. This story began on a day not terribly dissimilar from this one. In room 419, Mrs. Parson's chemistry class was dissecting a frog. In the woman's gym class, a freshman girl got her period for the first time and left school early. In AP English, a frank and honest discussion was had about the merits of genius and the benefits of being stupid. Meanwhile, across the school, the bell rang for lunch. Greg Zeller and his friend Will Peterson approached the door to the parking lot at a quicker pace than usual.
