The Whiteridge Phenomenon Pt.2

 The Whiteridge Institute for Fine Arts is an establishment designed to mold the young minds of tomorrow, however most students thought prison was a better word for it. On an uneventful Saturday afternoon, the hallways were devoid of any life except for a handful of individuals. Funnily enough four of these people happened to be students no less, a group of ingrates (their teacher's words not mine), who were forced to spend this possibly carefree afternoon stuck in detention. Bret, whose dad was on the board of admissions for the institute, was one of said students and had somehow managed to piss off the headmaster. Under normal circumstance he would serve this sentence alone but his friends; Andrés, Robbie, and Zachary decided to suffer in solitude along with him. Andrés was the groups resident "Wiz-Kid, calculating each punishable action the group required to earn their eventual stay in detention alongside their delinquent friend. However, their punishment wouldn't last much longer as an unprecedented weather phenomenon soon struck the building, resulting in each of the boys being switched into the body of an administrator still currently working inside the Institution.



Eleonor Mcnerney (Age 36) was the Institution's kind-hearted Librarian, whose modest demeanor stemmed from her distinctly introverted nature. Because of this it was always hard for her to say no to Headmistress Strickland, especially since she seemed to admire how diligent and hard-working Eleonor always seemed to be with the Institute's precious records. Thus she was spending another late night in the dimly lit archives double checking that every record was properly categorized by both letter and number. She had just finished filling the M section when the Institute appeared to be shaken by what she believed to be a thunderstorm. The lights scattered throughout the archives seemed to gain a luminescent sort of glow to them, accompanied by a strange energy that began to envelope the room itself. Eleonor attempted to make her way toward the exit in a desperate attempt to evade the strange phenomenon before her vision was shrouded in darkness.
