Nico wandered around the campus on his was to his first class of the semester, looking at all the buildings and considering the majors he could have chosen.
The Forges. No I suck at building things.
The Library. Oh give me a break.
Music. I don’t know how to play any instruments.
Nico stopped in front of the theatre. He chose this as his major, at least for the time being. Nico wandered in and sat in the front row as other students did the same. Some were freshmen too, but not all. When the class officially started, Nico noticed he was one of two boys and about a dozen or so girls.
The instructor entered from backstage. Two girls who looked as though they couldn’t be more than fifteen, and the instructor looked slightly younger than her assistant.
“Greetings, my name is Artemis and I shall be your instructor for the year. Yes, for those of you who don’t know, Dr. Phebeous Apollo, head of the Arts Department, is my brother, but as I do not wish to be affiliated with him, you shall call me either Artemis or Ma’am. This is my assistant, Zoe Nightshade.
“Judging by your applications, you have been selected to be our core theatrical crew. Note, this does not include actors. You are our behind the scenes workers, though we shall have many more helping us along the way.
“I would now like to take a moment for you to introduce yourselves. Please include your name and major or main interest in the theatrical world.”
A red haired girl introduced herself as Rachel, Art Major, Scenic Painter. A tuff girl said her name was Reyna and she specialized in stage fighting, though Nico could tell she would be fine in a regular fight too. Nico glossed over a few others. Lighting, sound, set builders, costume designers, and then it was his turn.
“Hi, I’m Nico di Angelo and I work with special effects.”
One of the girls who hadn’t gone yet blew her top. “You can’t be the special effects person, because I’m the special effects person!”
Artemis stood up and calmly pointed towards the door. “Khione, you have not been asked to join this class, due to your actions last year. If you don’t leave now, I shall have campus security escort you off the property, and the same thing shall happen if you return.”
Khione glared at Nico. “You must really be something if you think you can take my place.” She yelled, “You haven’t seen the last of me!”, and slammed the door on her way out.
