Chapter 3: Arkshire Theatre

We soon walk into the Theatre after reaching the end of a long, brightly lit hallway. We find some empty seats in the third to last row in the back. We sit down and wait for whatever was about to happen.

The theatre would be a large room, with balconies up a bit higher, with seats on them, and it seems like the theatre went up at least three whole levels of the academy. A large stage rests at the front of the room, with a microphone and some instruments backed up against the curtain. Large railings flow from one end of the room to another end, supporting the roof, with lights hanging off of them, and lights also poke out of the walls of the room.

"What happens when that roof collapses?"

{Olivia} 'Then we all go splat like a bug?'

"Fair enough, but are those railings even strong enough to hold it up?"

{Olivia} 'I mean, I hope so..'

The lights go off, and lights above the stage turn on, making green, yellow, purple, and red spotlights on the stage. A older man, with a little bit of gray in his hair, who was wearing a white long sleeved shirt and black pants with black dress shoes, who was holding a brown, staff like cane in his left hand. He walks up to a microphone which stood at the center of the stage.

{?} 'Hello, ladies and gentlemen, I am Jester and I am the Prime minister of this fine establishment you are in today and hopefully til the end, and it is also known as Arkshire Academy. Arkshire Academy is a place in which takes low class people like you and turns you into strong men and women who want to help protect this here place. Some of you might have not known what you were signing up for, and we are going to teach you all to fight with actual weapons. As you all saw in the mess hall, there was a large board. Daily tasks for higher ranks will be assigned, and updates of student's ranks in this academy. But, if this doesn't feel like something you're interested in, this is your chance to get up, and walk out of this academy. If at any point you guys want to come back, you need to reregister at the main office.'

{Olivia} 'Are they being serious?'

"Uh, I think so?"

{Olivia} 'I don't know about this..'

Someone from behind us overhears our conversation.

{?} 'Ooo, you scared?'

Olivia glances back, at a girl with short red hair, wearing a red top, a black skirt, and some red and white shoes. A guy next to her has a big fat smile on his face, he'd have long, messy, blonde hair.

{Olivia} 'That's him...' She whispers to me.

"The bully..?" I ask quietly.

She nods, slowly.

{?} 'Oo, Olivia..who's your boyfriend?' She winks.

{Olivia} 'He's not my boyfriend, Lexi..'

{Lexi} 'He's not, huh?' She smirks.

{Olivia} 'Yeah, and I'm not scared.'

{Lexi} 'Prove it, Olivia..'

{?} 'Yeah, Olivia..'

"Hey, just leave her alone you two.."

They both look at me, including Olivia.

{?} 'Says who?'

"Says me."

{?} 'And who the hell do you think I am?'

"Doesn't matter what I think you are, don't pick on her."

{?} 'Oh, right my bad, hey I have an idea..' He smirks.

"What's your idea, airhead?"

He glares at me before opening his mouth.

Olivia quietly chuckles.

{?} 'You'll see. Trust me, it'll be so worth it..' He smirks.

{Olivia} 'Don't do it, Brady..'

{?} 'Oh? You scared i'm going to wipe the floor with your boyfriend?'

{Olivia} 'He's not my boyfriend, and maybe.'

"Uh.."

{Lexi} 'Oh, come on ladies leave the decision up to him. That's if he's brave enough to take on MY boyfriend.'

I look at Olivia, watching her shake her head.

{Olivia} 'Brady, these people are no joke. They terrorize people and they continue doing that for the rest of their lives. People get nightmares from them, including me..'

"Well, then I won't lose."

{Lexi} 'Sounds like he accepted to me, Dan..'

{Dan} 'Sure did, Boo.' He smirks.

{Jester} 'You are now all dismissed for the day, go to front office to pick up dorm keys and be here on Monday morning at 9:30 AM.'

Olivia and I get up and walk out of the theatre, and soon Lexi and Dan are standing, waiting for both of us.

{Dan} 'You ready, Brady, or have you decided that you're too scared for me?'

"I'm not scared, Danny.."

{Dan} 'Whatever you say, airhead.'

He gets into some weird looking position, with both his legs planted a bit further away from each other.

"What are you trying to do?"

{Dan} 'This is my battle stance.'

"Oh, I totally didn't think you were getting ready to do something with your girlfriend.."

{Dan} 'Don't worry, we've already don't that type of thing before.' He raises an eyebrow. 'If you know what I mean.'

"Ew, learn to keep your private stuff to yourself, Danny.."

{Lexi} 'Yeah, Boo, they didn't need to know about that..'

{Olivia} 'Ew..yeah, Dan..'

{Dan} 'They're probably turned on at the thought of it though.' He winks at her.

"Dude, just no."

{Lexi} 'Just get on with the fight already!' She snaps at both of us.
