Oh my god, I know I'm terrible. I have my Bade story to finish (but technical difficulties have stopped me from getting any farther than Ch. 3 xD) and my Winx story, and god knows what else, but I really wanted to write this. Like a lot. It'll just be a little side story. No obligations from me, just a guilty pleasure story xD
This miiiight jump around a lot, but I wanted to get in a few POVs in the first chapter ^.^ The title may be misleading as there will be a few DreamWorks children, passed off as Exchange students, and one Dreamworks/Disney crossover child. Yes crossover children will be present, but only if they didn't have a love interest in their film (I.E. My Wilbur/Shanti children or my Peter/Alice children) Just so we're clear, this isn't a modernized version of anything. All movies still happened, the school
BTW, nothing too bad will happen, T rating is mostly because I'm a potty mouth and I like to imply things xD
Arabian princess was such a flurry of emotions she didn't know what she felt. Her older sister and brother had already made it inside, but then again, this wasn't their first year. For Hassiah it was, and she'd be lying if she said she wasn't terrified. But a part of her tingled with excitement. It was her first steps in High School, and it was the prestigious Walt Academy to boot. They were very exclusive, and for her to get in in the first place was honorable.
She played with the fabric of her poufy pink harem pants and finally, after all of her stalling was worn out, entered the giant school, which actually looked more like a medieval castle than anything. Apparently all freshman and new students had to report to the auditorium for an assembly where they would hand out the schedules. Karimah had offered to go with her, but she declined. She wasn't going to get through high school by riding on her sisters coat tails after all.
She walked through the large double doors and bumped into a few random people who were in a hurry to get their schedules fixed or something. Well…this was it. Her luggage was in her new dorm, she was about to get her room assignment at the assembly…this was her new life.
Eventually, while she marveled at the grand halls, her feet carried her to the gym, where the assembly was.
At the head of the gym was a tall man with graying hair that she assumed to be the dean and founder of the school. She tentatively took a seat next to a tan girl with bright blue eyes and tried paying attention. went on and on about the schools code of conduct, dress code, rules about the dorms, clubs, and whatever else he could think of apparently. Hassiah grew bored and stopped listening, she learned this all from her siblings, who made sure to make the rules sound a lot more scary and strict than they were. It wasn't until the girl next to her tapped her shoulder that she zoned back in. The girl gave her a questioning look.
"Uh, the dean said to exchange information with the person to your left." She said with an amused smile.
"Oh, right, sorry, I droned out." She said with a giggle.
"I know, the dean is so nice but he can go on for hours, at least that's what Rebecca said. She's my sister."
"Your sibling goes here too?" she asked, writing her name and number on a paper. This was nothing new to her, it was just her luck that all of her teachers from 5th grade on tried making their students more sociable by assigning partners and giving out information.
"Yeah, curse if you ask me. At least with me, Rebecca's so incredibly perfect. " She said with a roll of her eyes. "It's nice to meet you, I'm Nikia." She said giving a strange wave of her hand.
Hassiah never had that problem. Sure Karimah was gorgeous and Ali was the popular school clown, but she never worried herself with comparing herself to them. What was the point? She and her siblings prided themselves on being individual people, and not concerned with each other's accomplishments.
"I'm Hassiah." She said. They began chatting idly about their home life before the dean demanded their attention again. It was time for the room assignments and schedules. Hassiah heard the worst things about scheduling. How they'd totally butcher what you wanted and you had to run ragged all throughout the first day to fix it.
The people handing them out finally got to hers and Nikia's row and they both looked at their schedules. Nikia peered over Hassiah's shoulder and smiled brightly. "Hey! We have free period and science together, what are the odds?" She asked.
"Apparently pretty good." She said with a giggle. "You don't suppose the odds will be in our favor with rooming do you?"
"I doubt the gods like us that much."
Hassiah shrugged and stuffed her schedule in her bag for now. They had the rest of the day off, and decided they'd like to spend it getting to know each other better.
"So are you excited?" Nikia asked as they munched on some Ice Cream they'd just bought from the school's cafeteria.
"I guess. Actually I'm really nervous." She admitted. "I mean, what if I don't fit in?"
"That's ridiculous! You're so nice, how could someone not like you?"
"I'm afraid not everyone can see it that way." She said with a roll of her eyes. "I mean, I have family here to help me, my brother and sister, and my older cousin, but I can't imagine they want to baby me all throughout my first year." She tucked a strand of ebony hair behind her ear.
"Trust me, you'll do fine." Nikia said comfortingly. "If all else fails, we can still be friends, right?"
"Of course!" She said with a laugh.
"So what kind of clubs were you thinking of joining? I really like the nature club, but that might be because I was raised in it." She said jokingly
Hassiah thought about this. She didn't really have any special skills. She had her hobbies here and there, but she didn't think she was good enough to actually get into any sort of club. If she was going to do something she didn't want to do a poor job. She liked being among the best when she did something. It was a sort of quirk of hers.
"I was thinking the Equestrian Club." She said. She liked horses of all kinds, she remembered her mom telling her tales of her old horse that used to belong to her grandmother. It was a stubborn thing, but her mother eventually won it over, something that only her grandmother had accomplished. Hearing the story of Sahara and her mother was one of her favorite bedtime stories.
"Ooh! That one sounds fun too! I love animals." She gushed.
"You're going to try and join every animal club there is, aren't you?" She asked jokingly.
"Nah, I'll stick to natures club."
The girls discarded their bowls and wandered the halls with each other, talking about everything from their parents to the horror stories of some of the classes here. Eventually they were so immersed in each other's conversation they bumped into a boy with reddish brown hair. The boy in question fell to the floor with a thud.
"Oh, I'm uh, sorry." He said, trying to dust himself off.
"Oh, it's fine, it's our-" Nikia began.
"Hey! Leave him alone, he didn't do anything!" A rough female voice called out. Before long the two were faced with a girl with the same reddish brown hair, but with blue eyes instead of the boys green ones. Her face was powdered with freckles, but the scowl on her face made it hard for anyone to mistake her for innocent.
"We didn't do anything to him." Hassiah said raising an eyebrow at the irritable girl.
"Then why is he on the ground?" She demanded.
"We accidently bumped into him for your information!" Nikia spoke up.
"Right, accidently. I am so sick of you guys-!"
"Freya, it's fine, they're telling the truth, it was just a mistake." The boy finally spoke up.
"Told you." The two said with a glare of their own.
"Sorry…I'm just so used to him being picked on." She said. The scowl was gone, but there was distrust etched all over her face.
"Thanks Freya, I can always count on you." He deadpanned.
"That's still not an excuse to yell at us the way you did." Nikia said.
"Well sorry." She hissed. "But when you and your brother get harassed all day you tend to jump to conclusions."
"Harrassed? Why?" Hassiah asked. Nikia just continued to glare at them.
"Erick and I," She began, gesturing to her brother, who'd finally gotten off the ground. "Are transfer students from Far Far Away." She said.
"Really? Where?" Nikia asked.
Freya gave her a look. "Far Far Away is the name of our old school." She said impatiently. "It's like this place, only a little smaller."
Nikia nodded, finally understanding.
"Well, our schools aren't very friendly, in fact they hate each other. In an effort of peace an exchange program was put in. My brother and I, among a few others, were chosen to come here to study for a year, while some students from here go there." She finished. "Unfortunately, since the schools like to practically paint it on our forehead that we're from another school, we've been picked on all day, and I doubt it's going to stop."
"Oh come on, they treat you differently just because you're from another school? That's stupid, no one is that shallow." Nikia said, crossing her arms over her chest.
"You'd be surprised how far a school rivalry can go." Erick said.
"I feel bad for the poor saps that were sent to our school. The kids were can get pretty cutthroat." Freya said with a smirk.
"Well aren't you pleasant?"
"Hey, if it keeps me from getting picked on, who cares?"
Hassiah sighed. " Well I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, Freya, but we weren't trying to pick on your brother."
"Like 2 girls could beat me up anyways." He said. Freya chose to ignore him, save for her eyeroll.
"Well, I'm sorry I yelled…I guess." She mumbled.
"I apologize for…her. She likes to act scary."
"I'm not acting." She grumbled. "Look, I gotta go, but really, I'm sorry about the misunderstanding. Play nice." She said, though there was a playful edge to her, her last two words were said as a warning. Before long she was out of sight.
"Well she was nice." Nikia said.
"She's not that bad, really." He insisted. "She's just bad at making friends, not that that's my strong suit either."
"Well, you're not yelling at us, so I'd say you're doing better than she is." Hassiah said with a laugh.
"So, Erick, was it? Sorry we bumped into you, we were just getting a good feel for the place."
"Me too." He said.
"You wanna walk around with us?" Hassiah asked. "We could always use some more company."
"Better than going by myself." He said with a shrug.
The three made their way down the halls, trying to get familiar with their new home, decided to get to their respective rooms later.
The day was almost over, and night had taken over the sky. Hassiah made her way back to her dorm (Nikia, herself, and Erick decided to find their dorms before resuming with their exploring). She'd learned a lot about her knew companions today. Nikia was her age, and came from a small village, unlike the large kingdom she was from. But she was also considered a princess where she was from, though she might not fit the stereotypical roll. She grew up surrounded by nature and family. Erick was similar to Nikki (Hassiah had taken to calling her that). Sort-of-royalty but you wouldn't know it by looking. His dad was in charge of a small villaige, just like Nikki's mom was in charge of. Apparently where he was from, almost everyone was as hard-headed as his sister Freya, minus himself and his dad, who were rather level headed, if a bit snarky at times. Erick was hard to get to know at first, he was very reserved, but still friendly, but eventually he gave away small details. Nikia was so much different. She was wide open, as if she had no secrets. In fact, Hassiah found her to be rather chatty at times.
Overall Hassiah found it to be a good day. She met two people she liked a lot, it seemed she wouldn't need her siblings help with fitting in after all.
Huh? Huuuh? How was that for a first chapter?
Yeah, I know it sucked xD
So, I kinda wanna make a little game out of this. Whoever can guess the kids that show up in each chapter gets to pick the Disney couple who's kids they'd like to see, and I'll make them show up in the next chapter.
So…say, you guess Hassiah's parents (arguably the easiest considering the first friggin sentence of the chapter.) You get to choose who's kid shows up next. Keep it to canon Disney couples please, I'm only using a select few DreamWorks kids (from literally 2 movies) xP But, if you guess all three(not counting siblings of the main 3) kids parents in this chapter, you get to choose 3 couples kids to show up next :D Most of the time the names will help, or I'll drop little hints here and there. If you're the first to guess right, I'll reply to your review (yes, you need to be logged in xD) and you can message me saying who you'd like. Don't say in the review itself, that's no fun xD Sometimes you can tell from their personality, like with Freya and Erick, and sometimes you can't, like with Nikia.
If no one guesses or I get no reviews (sob) I'll do it in the order I please xD
Overall I'd say this chapter is pretty easy. Erick and Freya's parents are NOT Disney, though. Just thought that needed to be said xD
