THE MYSTERY AT THE THEATRE

CHESS TOURNAMENT

Most of the students had started their game. Only a few tables were empty.

There was this rule, that you can pick your chess partner, and that was all. As Mikey and Roxie entered the room. Mickey pointed at the girl sitting at the second table. He said, "I want the girl. She is on the team just because her father bestowed the boards, and she would think I am hot."

"I did not think she was of your type," said Roxie.

"So what, I may be her's

A boy sitting at the end of the room called out to Roxie. "I want that girl."

Roxie was tensed and scurried her way to this table and sat down. Mikey went to the second table with the girl.

-"Emily, that's a pretty name," said Mikey while he was sitting on the chair.

-"Wait, you are from Prestlon? You look a lot like"

-"Your friend? Your neighbor? Well I have one of those faces. What do you say, if we raise the stakes, EMILY?" interrupted Mikey.

-"What do you mean?"

-"If I beat you in ten moves, I get to ask you a question."

-"I am not going out with you."

-"A different question."

-"Deal!"

That was it. He beat her down in ten moves.

-"Who is the Black Bishop?" inquired Mikey.

-"Oh, everyone knows that, It's Nathan. Why?"

-"Who is Nathan?"

-"That guy over there," saying this she pointed up to the last table in the corner, which. Was currently Roxie's chess partner.

-"Oh no! Pineapple PineapplePineapplePineapplePineapplePineapple! Just give a minute."
