we wear the mask that grins and lies,
it hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—

KING RICHARD'S PREPARATORY ACADEMY
FOR GIRLS AND BOYS. IS ONE OF THE MOST
PRESTIGIOUS ACADEMIES IN THE WORLD.
AMONG THE BRIGHT STUDENTS ARE FUTURE
EINSTEINS, MUSIC PRODIGIES LIKE MOZART
AND ATHLETES ALREADY BEING LOOKED AT
BY PROFESSIONAL LEAGUES. HERE AT KING
RICHARD'S, IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE
MERELY BEAUTIFUL, OR MERELY SMART. YOU
HAVE TO BE THE BEST AT EVERYTHING.
OR ELSE.

this debt we pay to human guile;
with torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
and mouth with myriad subtleties.
why should the world be over-wise,
in counting all our tears and sighs?

AND NOW, FOUR YEARS AFTER OUR STORY
ENDED UP, WE SEE WHERE KING RICHARD'S IS NOW.
WHAT EVERYONE FROM HIGH SCHOOL BECAME, WHO
NOW IS RULING THEM? EVERYONE STILL WANTS TO BE
THEIR FRIENDS. WANTS TO BE WITH THEM. BASICALLY
WANT TO BE THEM. AFTER ALL, THEY LOOK LIKE THEY
HAVE IT ALL. BUT WHAT MAY SEEM LIKE PERFECT ON
THE OUTSIDE, COULDN'T BE FARTHER
FROM THE TRUTH.

nay, let them only see us, while
we wear the mask.
