School's Out

Mandy comment: Live your life before you start a new one!

- "Nergal Junior, report to the principal's office immediately!"

Principal Goodvibes' voice echoed through the school's intercoms and all classmates gave Junior some nasty looks.

- "You heard the speaker, Junior!" Ms. Butterbean said to him. "Go to the principal!"

- "I'm going..." Junior said and left the classroom.

He entered the principal's office where Goodvibes looked more upset than he usually is.

- "You wanted to see me, Principal Goodvibes?" he asked the principal.

- "Yes, Junior!" he said with a sigh. "It has reached my knowledge that you had a conflict with a certain Mr. Sperg today. Is that right?"

- "He was harrassing Pud'n again, sir! He always does, he usually harrass me as well! I felt it was time somebody evened the score!"

- "But you see, Junior. Sperg is a bully, bullies are supposed to make you nerds feel bad!"

- "But it isn't fair! Sperg always bullies us, but he's never been sent here!"

- "Well, Sperg didn't use tentacles against his victims! I have called for your parents to come, and we'll decide your punishment! Until then, get back to class!"

- "I will..." Junior said and left the room in dissapointment.

As he left the room, he saw a girl standing outside the door.

- "Can I help you?" Junior asked her.

- "Uh, hi!" she said shyly. "Nergal, is it?"

- "Call me Junior! All my freinds does... well, they would if I had any!"

- "I'm Dora! I saw what happened between you and Sperg! It's just not fair that you'll get hurt for it!"

- "I know!" Junior said and started to walk away.

- "Hey, Junior!" Dora said and Junior stopped. "You wanna eat some lunch... with me?"

- "You... want to eat with me?"

- "Sure, you seem like a nice guy!"

- "And you weren't freaked out by my tentacles?"

- "Not really... I've seen scarier things! Let's go to the cafeteria now, shalle we?"

- "Sure!" Junior said happily as he and Dora walked towards the cafeteria.

They entered the cafeteria and sat down by a table. Dora took out her lunch box, which Junior recognized at once.

- "So... you're the legendary Pandora?" Junior said.

- "I've left that behind me!" Dora said. "Please just call me Dora!"

- "Sure!"

- "You mean you're not gonna dismiss me because of the curse I wield?"

- "Not really... you're the one who ignored the fact that I wasn't even human and still wanted to be my friend! I like you for that!"

- "Thanks..." Dora said blushing. "I like you as a friend too!"

The two of them had a happy lunch together, and Junior almost forgot that he was about to be punished for making justice! When he got home, he was met with a mean look from his mother.

- "Nergal Junior, is it true that you've picked on one of your classmates!" she said to him.

- "But mom, he started it!" Junior said. "Sperg always pick at me and Pud'n, and Billy... and basically everyone!"

- "Well, son!" Nergal said, entering. "As you probably know, we've spoken with your principal and decided that you will be transfered to another school!"

- "Transfered?" Junior said in shock, only thinking about Dora. His very first friend, who he was now leaving to never meet again!
