Welcome to Windsor Academy
Windsor Academy is an esteemed establishment, one of the finest boarding schools around. The teaching standards are excellent, the students excell and the food ain't half bad either. On the surface, Windsor Academy seems just like any other boarding school. The buildings are old and impressive, the classrooms are furnished with the latest in education technologies and the dorms are homely. The Headmaster is fair proud of the school he governs.

But, below the surface, tension lurks between the students. Cliques are taken very seriously, deathly seriously. There are eight groups in all: The Flock, The Hawts, The Preps, The Flunkies, The Legion, The Music Geeks, The Lerds and The Black Lunchboxes. Naturally conflicts lie between the groups. Conflicts which cause massive rifts between the students.

And what, pray tell, are the consequences for befriending outside your clique? It's only happened once, or been discovered once. And that resulted in death. Extreme, no? But true. One Delilah Gold was the victim of the strict clique rules, for falling in love with the wrong person. She met Darius Elfman whilst she was taking part in a Biology detention. He was there for his own enjoyment. Darius was a Lerd and she was a Hawt, but it was some kind of love at first sight.
---
They kept their budding love, their identities and their cliques secret from those around them. Secret meetings were arranged, disguises created and lies told. But Delilah was not careful enough. Jealousy first drove her friend, Norah Amorosi, to stalk her friend on one evening. She didn't believe that Delilah was going to the library to do homework. Fortunatley for Darius, Norah never saw his face (which saved his life), but she knew enough.
---
Getting help from her burly boyfriend Richard Foreman, Norah confronted Delilah. She screamed the rules of their Clique at her and tried to find out who she'd been seeing - so he could be "dealt with". Delilah tried her best to keep his identity secret, only spilling that he was a Lerd. Sadly, Delilah said no more after that. Whether her death was an accident or not, no one will truely know. Police were told it was, a whole story spun to cover Delilah's death. Nobody believes it.

Windsor Academy's reputation was shaken for a while, but a new year and fresh start after Delilah Gold's death and it's finally back on its feet. The older years tell new comers that Delilah's ghost wanders the hall, craving justice for her death. Her targets are those of the Hawts clique, especially if they resemble those who killed her. Such rumours have been shunned by the teachers, if a little half heartedly. Strange things have been going on since her death...
