Chapter 1 - Prologue – The Hierarchy of the Classroom

My name is Arthur White. I am your typical high school student. However, my high school is anything but normal. It's like a battle zone each day man I'm tired. At the school, there are 32 students, including me. However, I don't have any outstanding talents. I am not particularly good at fighting. The only thing I'm good at is chess. That's why I don't get picked whenever there is a "classroom showdown" going on. My nickname is, "Chess Nerd" because the only thing I ever talk about is chess. To me, chess is life. Because I never shut up about chess, I get picked on a lot. Nothing major: Lunch money laundering, name-calling, trolling, and the occasional beat-up with fists. 

Do you know how in Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet there are the Capulets and Monteque? In high school we have the same thing, only it's extremely subtle. I always have to pick a side to side with. The classroom is divided in half: one side has 16 while the other side has 15. The side that I pick loses nine times out of ten. Then I get beat up by the team that lost. 

There is one power couple on each side. Allegedly the story goes: Alex dated Mary. Alex and Mary fought and broke up. Brokenhearted, Alex is comforted by Julia. Then Julia and Alex start dating. Seeing this, Julia finds Ivan. Then Ivan and Julia start dating. Allegedly, Julia is dating Ivan to make Alex jealous. Well apparently it somehow worked, and now they are sort of trying to get back together. However, Mary doesn't want to officially end the relationship with Ivan because she fell for him too[It's the same thing between Alex and Julia. Julia and Alex fell head-over-heels for each other ]. I wish I were summoned to another world with less noise. 

Then a golden magic circle appears beneath all the students. No way! Is this what it is? I WAS JOKING!
