Big Graduation Mischief

All is dark in the cold night of Hoengseong. The wind is rushing through the snow-covered mountains. In the middle of the mountain lies Korean Minjok Leadership Academy (a.k.a KMLA), isolated. On the top floor of KMLA’s dormitory building, a single dim light is seeping out into the night. It is coming from a dark storage room of the school cafeteria, where twelve students are huddled up, whispering. There was a knock on the door. Everyone flinched- except for Summer, who scuttled to hide behind the shelf of tuna cans. “ It ’ s me ” , whispered Blake, peeking into the dark room. The dead quite room was now filled with sighs of relief. “ You ’ re late, Mr. Class President”, Seolin accused.   " Sorry, I just came back from the basketball competition- did I miss something? ” “ The morning assembly had been a chaos. They banned our graduation!” “…and so, we’re planning an escape” added Brian. “Here, come on in”, said Jihyun, handing Blake a shabby scroll of paper.
