The first two weeks of Senior Assassin have officially come to an end, meaning the seniors are now left with no floaties or goggles to protect them from elimination. With having two weeks of experience under their belt, the students now know their strategies and strengths in the game.
Grayson Ivory (12) has been frustrated with the game so far.
“I think it’s been going terribly, because the junior class has allegedly ruined it from what I’ve heard,” said Ivory.
The first two weeks have been filled with circulation of rumors that the junior class had been giving away information for the game to
help get people out. This rumor has not been confirmed.
Ivory continued, saying, “and also, I want to go on strike about Lucien Reed. He did not get out after 2:20. He got out before 2:20. I literally was talking to Wesley in that clip before 2:20, and I know this because I was going to get to my target before 2:20.”
According to the official Senior Assassin Instagram Account, students may not be eliminated between 7:10 and 2:20.
After being interviewed, Ivory was eliminated at McDonalds by Zytka Ruiz (12) on the last day of the third round.
“I obviously think I’m going to win because I’m going to bribe every single person that I don’t get. My strategy is just trying to survive because I feel like going for most kills is kind of lame. It’s also a lot of gas money,” Ivory said.
Other students are having a lot of fun in the game.
Hollan Wehlage (12) has enjoyed the first two weeks.
“I think it’s really fun. I honestly don’t think I’ll get very far after the first two weeks because you’re immune from the wanted list and I’ve been slacking on getting my targets. I’m just too lazy for it. I was trying to get the most kills at first, but then I got lazy,” Wehlage said.
However, things took a turn for Wehlage after she was interviewed, as she was eliminated after school the very same day.
“One of my best friends, Luca Ross, invited me to go to a coffee shop after school, which is something we do relatively often. As we were about to leave, she turned around with a water gun and shot me square in the chest. I would say I felt betrayal, anger, and sadness,” said Wehlage.
Wehlage was upset about getting out, but also felt a weight lifted off her shoulders, not having to stress about getting out anymore. She is now planning on helping her friends get people out.
Meanwhile, Logan Milburn (12) has a brighter outlook on the game.
“I think it’s going to be really fun for all the seniors and I think it’ll create a lot of good memories,” Milburn says.
Milburn hopes to stay alive long enough with his strategy of staying alive. He leaves the seniors with a good message: “I would say, just enjoy it and have fun with it. And remember it is just a game.”
