WELCOME TO BLACKBERRY LAKE.
in 1872 a fantastic man named phillipe gerard suddenly came into a lot of money. not much is known about him, including how he got the money, but what is known is that he had a huge heart. instead of keeping the money all to himself he bought one of the biggest pieces of land in spain. over three thousand acres of land. there he built a large school for all the child prodigies of the world to attend, no matter their wealth status. though while he was alive he was never able to see the school have brilliant success, after he died in 1908 blackberry lake school of the arts exploded. children from all over the world were sent to this prestigious school to learn how to control they're brilliant talents. all the way through to the late 1920's blackberry lake was a masterpiece. then in 1927 a horrendous fire destroyed the building and most of the people inside. it was a devastating hit to gerard family and to spain. needless to say the school was closed down without any indication of rebuilding.
then, suddenly in the late 1960's when his fame was booming the legendary andy warhol bought the three thousand acres for a remarkable cheap price and began to build a new school, a better school. and by the end of the seventies the new blackberry lake was built. to andy it was a masterpiece, the biggest piece of art he'd ever make, to the world it was a gift. it immediately exploded on the scene, student after student after student applied whether they had any interest in the arts or not. to go to andy warhol's school was beyond anyone's wildest dreams. after his death the school's huge effect on the european world wassquieted and almost forgotten.
today it's popularity is beginning to grow yet again. though still mostly hidden from the world blackberry lake is still the most prestigious school you've never heard of. the students here range all ages, heritages, religions, and classes. those lucky enough to get in will find a paradise waiting for them. to be a true blackberry lake student you only need two things. talent and a huge imagination. can you cut it?
