Another story written in middle school. Since it was so long ago and my writing was somewhat weakish, I matured it up a bit. I also made it less stupid.
In almost every show, book, or movie that I watched or read, there were bullies in school. Here are my versions of the flock's encounters with bullies when they were at school in "School's Out- Forever".

Max
"What?" Max snapped. It was lunchtime and the moment she went over to an empty table to sit down, people started to whisper behind their hands and point at her. This became really annoying so she started to growl at people who passed by. She didn't get why no one was sitting at this table even though it was empty. Oh well, she thought, Not my problem. She sat down and started to eat, waiting for J.J. to come sit with her.
A while later, she saw J.J. coming towards her so she waved her hand to catch her attention. J.J.'s eyes widened and she frantically motioned Max to sit somewhere else. Max didn't understand what J.J. was trying to do so she shot her a questioning look and continued eating. While she was eating, she sensed that someone was behind her. Maybe because a huge shadow was looming over her.
"What are you doing in my seat?" a voice oozing with false sweetness came from behind. Max turned around and found herself face-to-face with Chari. She then remembered that this was Chari and her gang's 'table'. Well not really their table, but they ate there and beat up anyone else who goes to the table. It didn't matter to Max though. No one was sitting here when she arrived.
"Why I'm eating of course." Max replied with the same false sweetness that Chari used. Her voice immediately changed to a snarl. "What's it to you?"
Max's lack of fear didn't make Chari too happy.
"Think you're funny, blondie?"
"In case you haven't noticed, I'm not blonde, smart one!" Max motioned to her brown with blonde streaked hair. People crowded over to see what the commotion was all about. Soon, the crowd was chanting "Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!"
Chari was steeling herself up, shaking her buff arms and cracking her knuckles like those loser bullies you see in TV shows.
"I ain't got no time." Max quoted from Mulan (1), mostly to herself. Jeezums, all this for a table! Max personally thought there was something wrong with this girl.
"What, you're not gonna do anything? Oooh! I smell chicken!"
Pretty close, I'll give you that. Max thought to herself. Get it? 'Cause she said 'chicken' and I'm part bird, and- sigh great. First sign of madness, talking to yourself.
Max started to walk away from the table, taking her food with her, but Chari wasn't done with her yet. She grabbed Max on the shoulder a little to harshly for Max's liking, and twisted her around to face her.
Max sighed irritatingly, knowing she'll have to beat Chari up sooner or later.
Chari drew back her enormous fist and smashed- or at least tried to- Max in the face. It didn't hurt, but Max sure was boiling mad! A regular human trying to hurt her? HER? This was going to be a lot of fun.
She leaped out of Chari's grip, stuffed the rest of her food in her mouth, and punched her in the stomach. Chari made choking noises and tried to suck in her pathetic breath as Max pushed her down to the ground. She towered over her victim.
"Don' mesh wi' meh" She grinned evilly a the surprised Chari, but the look was kind of ruined since her mouth was still full. She wiped her hands in a victorious manner and swaggered away swallowing her food.
Max pushed her way through the wall of students, who were all silent and parted for her when they realized she was walking away. Then someone sniggered.
"Chari got beat up by a new kid!" several students whispered while Chari glared at them all, still on the floor.
When Max finally got through the crowd, she was again unexpectedly face-to-face with someone. That someone was a teacher this time, and she had a dissapointed frown on her face.
"Max, come with me." She said calmly as Max stuck her toungue at Chari.
"Nyah nyah!"
"Now."
Chari finally got up to her feet when Max disappeared from view. The crowd was still gaping at her.
"BACK OFF!"
The crowd scattered as she panted like an angry rhinocerous.
"Guys," she addressed her cronies. "Track down this girl's siblings. If I can't hurt her from the outside, I can do it in the inside." The cronies split, looking for their new victims.
(1) Quote from Mulan. Yao: "I ain't got no time, chicken boy." Mushu: "Chicken boy? Say that to my face, you lip-noodle!" Or something like that. Apologies if I got it wrong.
A/N: I need help on bully quotes! You know, things bullies say to taunt their victims. If I don't get any help, I'll have to lower down to cheesiness. I plan to use one chapter for each member of the flock. I have the WHOLE story written down, complete with chapters, but I have to find some time to actually type it down and check it for cheesiness or mistakes.
Now onto FAAAANNNNGGGG!
