Their goal is to survive. There is difinitly tension in the group, Between Jaylen and Matthew for instance, Jaylen would never think of cheating or stealing but Matthew does it often.

Story that just came to me: Boy falls for cute, bubbly and affectionate girl who may or may not be a genocidal, warmongering dictator.

I mocked up the entire book just starting with two ideas: 1, there are never any cute girls on trial for war crimes and 2, who says the bad guy/girl can't win? Plays out like bit of a psychological thriller but ends, well, that's the payoff so why spoil it.

That girl reminds me completely of a young Dolores Umbridge. There's a fanfic in there somewhere. XDDD

Had to google that as I've never read any Harry Potter.

No, I was thinking less, cutesy cruel and closer to, well, Pol Pot. Perhaps that sounds a bit overly harsh but the story is about what we see on the outside versus what goes on inside a person.
