Description
Cadet Avery Goldman was off to meet up with Cadet Van Artell like he had promised in his text message.
"This is a part of the Academy I haven't seen before!" Avery thought as the decor and conditions of the interior seem to suddenly change all around him. Everything worn, shabby and run-down looking changed with each step he took into something luxurious and rich-looking!
"No spartan walls here! Van bunks in Area S! That's the wing reserved for the super-wealthy guys who pay to come here." Avery thought.
As he turned the corner, Avery saw a group of first year cadets gathering their gear for a field trip.
"They even get better gear than we do! All brand new! I heard their field maneuvers are in nicer places than ours as well." Avery thought.
Like Cadet Mab, Avery was attending Empire Star Academy on a scholarship. The fact that Van Artell was living in the luxury wing made Avery's angry feelings well back up to surface.
"I was going to forget that stupid bet we made and tell him he's off the hook, but seeing where he lives makes me want to change my mind. It's not right that Cadet's are treated differently! I bet his bunk room is a lot nicer than mine! I think I will make him keep that bet after all!" Avery thought.
At last he reached the proper room number as a group of well-dressed cadets pushed past him.
"Look at the scrub! What's a Shipper doing in our zone?" A blonde Cadet said to his fellows as they walked on past Avery!
"A shipper!" Avery thought. "That's what they call Cadets here on a scholarship, like it's something dirty. This Academy has become so money hungry, what with them selling picture cards of the Cadets and building this wing to attract the sons of wealthy families! No wonder Van is such a stuck-up bully! I think I will make him keep that bet! Being my servant may teach him a little humility!.".....

It may teach a bit of humility....if he doesn't stab you in the back first....I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him. Besides, will he become more humble or more angry? I'm leaning towards the latter.... :/
Though I find it interesting he was going to show some humanity and let the guy off the hook but is now jealous of the nicer conditions the cadets get and is now going to make the guy pay. He needs to be careful to not become as bad as his own bully. I mean a bet is a bet, if he wants to hold him to it that's fine, but I find his reason for holding him to it to be...interesting. Shows a bit of a darker side to his character, being jealous of the wealthy. Jealousy isn't healthy... (the debate of the nicer quarters being 'fair' or not is interesting because technically if the wealthier families paid more for nicer quarters it's not really unfair is it? Other than of course if you break down if it is fair that they have more money or not, which have to go into how they made the money in the first place, if it was fairly earned or not...hmm....long debate for sure).
Intriguing part of the story for sure.
CoolDimension
Thank you so much, APlusDesign! I really appreciate it and I enjoyed reading your post very much! I think Avery's thoughts are "This guy has all the breaks in life and look how he acts! Why should I give him one and feel sorry for him after seeing how he lives!" It upsets Avery that there is a status system in military training, since they are all studying and working hard to become Officers. Now, the Academies are creating another tier in the Training by giving special treatment to the wealthy, Van's Dad actually wanted him to go to Empire by scholarship to save money, but Cadet Mab beat all of Van's scores! Van is in a lot of trouble with his perfectionist dad!
