The Initiation [FICTION]

[theuntouchable]

This is my first time writing a story like this so please give me suggestions if you see areas that see need for improvement.

It was your first week at college and you were just getting to know the place before the school year started. You met this girl named Sara who was to be your roommate. She had said something to you about signing up for a club and this caught your attention. You had always wanted to join some sort of exclusive group at school and this was your chance. There were only two main clubs to join and they were each other’s rivals, however there were plenty of others on campus as well. You checked out both clubs with Sara and the both of you decided to join the “Dragons” (both of you wanted to join one of the two well know ones). The other club was the “Leopards”. You knew there would be some for of initiation but you paid no attention to this now. You and Sara went out to relax and get to know each other a little better.

A week after school had started you received a call to meet with your club. Sara also received a call as well. You were told to meet in the west wing dormitories in room 121 at 10 o’clock. Both you and Sara started to head down at around 9:45 not wanting to be late. When you got there you saw what seemed like 20 other freshman in the room with (what must have been) 5 leaders of the Dragons. Only 3 people showed up after you, which made a grand total of 25 freshmen. The leaders introduced themselves and told you that only 10 of the 25 people that wanted to join the club would be allowed to join. This caused both you and Sara some distress and you exchanged quick glances before the leaders continued. “We will be having a competition to decide who the 10 will be”. At this the leaders all turned and smiled at each other. You had a bad feeling about this.

The leader that was speaking (she seemed to be the head of the whole club) told the group that it would be a short of race. She asked anyone if they wanted to chicken out then and when no one did she continued explaining what would happen. “We will hide tennis balls around the west wing and each will have a number written on it. Since there are 25 of you, we will have 25 balls. 5 balls will have the number one on it, 5 with the number 2, 5 with the number 5, 5 with the number 10, 4 with the number 15 and one with the number 20 written on it. When we say go everyone will leave the building and try to find as many balls as you can. After 20 minutes we will call for everyone to come and that will be the end of the searching. The higher the combined total of the numbers on the ball or balls that you collect will equal you score. O ya, I almost forgot the best part”. She started to smile even more then before and you knew that there was going to be some sort of catch. “Everyone must pick a piece of paper from this hat before we begin.” She walked around the group letting people pick a piece of paper out of the hat. When it was your turn you got a number one written on your paper. When everyone had gotten their paper the leader walked up to the front one more time. “Now as you can all see you have a number written on your paper. This number equals the amount of clothing you will be wearing. For example if you have a two, you are only allowed to wear two articles of clothing well you are looking for the tennis balls.” Everyone took a sharp breath, and you saw the looks of horror on people’s faces. “You may however select which clothing it is you get to keep, lucky you. You have 5 minutes to remove your clothing and get your named checked of the list. GO!”

You walk over to Sara and find she has a number 3. When she sees that you have a one she gets a look of sympathy on her face, but you tell her that they had better strip and get there names checked of the list. You strip of everything except your panties and wished you had drawn a higher number. Next you gave you piece of paper to one of the leaders and she checked you off the list. You take a look around the room and notice that 5 people were completely naked. You were happy that at least you got to keep one piece.

“We will now begin the search.” You heard the leader say, “You have 20 minutes to find as many balls as you can starting… NOW!” and with that you take off running and head out the building. It was then that the sudden realization of how naked you were hit you. You saw others with all there clothing and wished that you were one of them. Then you realized that you need to start searching and head off for a near by bush. Nothing! You keep looking in the other bushes and find nothing as well. What seemed like a year went by and you had found nothing. “5 minutes left” you heard from the building. You started to panic because you still hadn’t found one. Then you spot it; there is one hidden way up in a tree. You run to the tree and start to climb. It is very hard because you have no shoes to protect your feet against the rough bark. You reach out and grab for it. You have finally gotten a ball and start to celebrate a little. You look down and it has the number 20 written on it. “Yes I found the 20 ball!!” you scream probably a little too loud. Then you proceed to climb down the tree. Right as you reach the bottom the “judges” call out to everyone that time is up.

When everyone returns to the room, the scores are counted. You know that you have made it but wanted to know if Sara had. The leader then stood up and announced the names of who made the top ten. You heard your name up in the top one or two, you weren’t really paying attention. Then you heard Sara’s at number 9! You had both made it! The lead then instructed all of the participants that had not made it should leave right now.

When they had all left the leader takes the floor again, “Congratulations on making the club. We will have our next meeting in a week. See you all later.”
