Pillage Chapter's 1-4

This show's the reaction of the student's to the bees being dropped
I just read the first four chapter's of Pillage by Obert Skye, and I'm already impressed. The story starts off with the main character, Beck, trying to pull a prank by dropping a bag of angry bees into his school, but he gets stuck in the air vent's. So while he's stuck, he gets abandoned by the one person he knew at that school. By the way, Beck and his mother have always been on the move, so he has been at that school for only a month and no one knows him. Anyways, Beck is stuck in the air vents and is thrashing and trying to find a way out, but he doesn't realize he has let go of the bag of bees. By now, he is dead silent and still with a billion bees crawling all over him, and the heat is turned on, so he is about to have a heat stroke. Beck can no longer take all the bees on him and being stuck in the dark, hot vents, so he loses it. He finally breaks down the vent into a home-ec class with the bees all over the place. Every one goes screaming by the sight of a cut up and stung Beck, but the principal ignores everything when he tells Beck that his mother has died. The funeral is short, but it has the biggest effect on Beck. In the story, you don't hear much about Beck's mother, but she was the one person he could always go to. After the funeral, Beck's family lawyer tells him that Beck has to go live with his rich uncle that is up in the mountains. Beck is unhappy about this, but he has no choice. Once he gets to the train station, Beck finds a girl he tries to make friends with called Kate. Kate isn't all that nice to Beck, but that doesn't stop him from being his charming self. The train ride itself isn't all that much, but once Beck gets to Kingsplot, the town his uncle lives in, that's when things get a little odd. First off, the place is always foggy, so you can never see far ahead. Secondly, no one except the people taking care of him is at all nice. When Beck finally reaches his new home, he is astounded. His uncle owns the biggest house in Kingsplot. The staff of the house is all very excited to see Beck, but are confused when they hear they actually have to work to take care of him. Beck does find it all that this town is not very modern except for the cars and buses, and that the fact that his house has no furniture. Lastly, the strangest thing is that Beck's uncle lives on the seventh floor of his mansion and no one ever bothers him, and Beck seems most annoyed when Wane, his lovely care taker, keeps staining the fact to keep locked doors locked, and how people get lost in the back yard so easily. I predict that Beck will try and explore some of these locked doors and venture out into the back yard, just to see what's out there. I hope you keep following my blog.
