Heathens

H E A T H E N S


Welcome to Lockheath Academy, the single most selective institution of higher education in the United States. Every year, twenty thousand applicants vie for about a hundred spots. Matriculants enroll straight out of secondary school. The collegiate-level curriculum runs for two years, and then you can transfer to whatever university you could possibly want. Every imaginable door of opportunity yawns wide open. You're set for life.

If you've made it here, you're the literal less-than-one percent. You were chosen because you're better. Better than the nineteen thousand nine hundred others you beat out. Better than the unprivileged masses crowding into their public schools with their need-based grants and work-study programs. Better than your professors and your administrators. Maybe even better than your peers.

You're the son of a Senator. You're the daughter of a tycoon. You're money as old as fuck, or you're the next big thing. Maybe, just maybe, you're a rare prodigy who won your place by merit.

For the next two years, you'll live, sleep, eat and breathe Lockheath. It's an experience unlike any other. A firm foundation in liberal arts and quantitative reasoning. Lessons in debate, logic and etiquette. Sports and athletics to keep the body as sharp as the mind. Small classes. Close quarters. A whole lot of free time. But you're never free from your peers.

You'll make friends here. And enemies. Alliances are made and broken over too many drinks at all-night ragers. Romance is fleeting and usually toxic; rivalries are forever. Ruthless cliques rule the cafeterias, quadrangles and dormitories, and those without a people are relentlessly bullied. The administration turns a blind eye to all of this.

The people you meet here? We call ourselves the Heathens. Because there's a savagery beneath all the wealth and polish. Locked in, pent up, it's a feral world of hormones, tribes, and urges. We whet ourselves on each other so when they let us out we're ready to eat the world. The relationships formed here won't just shape the rest of our lives. It'll dictate society for the next thirty years.

Because if you're here, you were born to rule to world.
