Fashion Seeks Destruction of Chess in High School Club War
Three months ago, the Eastern Middle High School Fashion Club announced its intentions to destroy the Chess Club and reclaim its lunch table. Under threat from neighboring lunch tables, the Chess Club, which was assigned its lunch table by the school's principal after the club members had been harassed and bullied by most of the other school clubs, secured an alliance with the Science Olympiad Club and the Mathletes. Tensions have escalated as the Chess Club has acquired more members and needed more lunch table space, encroaching on Fashion's neighboring table. In a recent skirmish, Fashion launched a withering attack consisting of hundreds of spitballs at Chess. The Cooking Club may have supplied the paper-wrapped straws used in the attack and lunch money to supply Fashion's fighters. The Chess Club responded with trebuchet-launched ink pellets that stained the clothes of the Fashion Club, requiring many of them to be sent home for the day. The Science Olympiad claimed that the trebuchet was on loan for a science class experiment and should not have been used in the attack. The Model United Nations held an emergency session to the discuss the situation. The Mathletes vetoed a Security Council Resolution condemning the violence against all club members citing the Chess Club's right to self-defense.
