Liberty looked up at the school before her. Monster High was big and a bit intimidating. Why out of everyone had the school selected her? She'd just moved to town literally. Only a few weeks ago. Just as she was settling in she got randomly selected for the transfer that hardly seemed fair at all. Liberty sighed pushing her bangs from her face as she walked up the steps. Everyone she passed stared at her causing Liberty to shrink under their gaze. Once in the school, there was a small group to welcome her.
"You must be Liberty, " one girl said.
"That's me" Liberty replied.
"Nice to meet you I'm Frankie and this is Draculaura, Clawdeen, Lagoona and Cleo," Frankie said pointing to each person as she said their names.
"Hello"
"We're going to show you around" Draculaura exclaimed.
"Okay"
"So Liberty are you excited?" Clawdeen asked.
"Nervous is more like it I just moved here"
"Don't worry you'll love it here?" Lagoona said.
"So here's your locker and that's my locker so we'll be locker buddies," Draculaura said.
"Nice" Liberty said happily dropping her messenger bag inside.
"So tell us about yourself Liberty " Frankie prompted.
"Well I'm sixteen and I just moved here with my older brother"
"Where are your parents?"
"That's a sensitive subject "
"Oh well never mind, " Frankie said with a shrug.
"Here's your first class," Draculaura said coming to a stop.
"Thanks," Liberty said before entering the classroom.
Everyone stared at her so Liberty tried to ignore them. She found an empty desk and quickly took her seat. This was uncomfortable for her. The teacher declared it was a makeup day so Liberty sat there bored watching the monsters around her. Ten minutes into class the door swung open and a panicked werewolf ran in.
"Late again Shaggy?" Someone asked.
"Sorry" Shaggy muttered sitting in the desk to Liberty's right.
Liberty then noticed the dog that had followed Shaggy into the classroom. This didn't look like the service dogs Liberty had read about. She wondered why the dog was allowed in the school. After class was over Frankie arrived with everyone else to show Liberty to her next class. As they were walking there they ran into Shaggy.
"Hey Shaggy" Frankie greeted.
"Hey, Frankie who's your friend?"
"This is Liberty she just started here today" Frankie explained.
"Hello," Liberty said a little nervous.
"Hi I'm Shaggy and this is Scooby" Shaggy said petting Scooby.
"Hello," Scooby said.
"You can talk" Liberty exclaimed surprised.
"Yeah he's a special dog, " Frankie said.
"We'd better get to class " Clawdeen stated.
"Oh right come on Liberty "
Liberty was thankful she'd grabbed her messenger bag from her locker. The next class was math and they were taking a test. She looked through her bag and quickly found what she was looking for her comic books. As quietly as she could Liberty pulled one from her bag and began reading. After the test had ended the other students talked to their friends but Liberty continued to read.
"Hey Liberty what are you reading?"
Liberty looked up and saw Shaggy had asked the question.
"Supergirl comics" Liberty replied.
"You like comics?" Shaggy asked.
"Yep"
"Me too"
"Cool"
"So how do you like school so far?"
"It's really cool" Liberty replied.
"So do you know how long you'll be here?"
"The whole year apparently"
"You don't seem very excited about it"
"Well I just moved here"
"Seriously?"
"Yeah it's a big change"
"I can imagine "
When the bell rang for lunch that afternoon Liberty was feeling better. She was making friends and enjoying herself. Unfortunately, though something was about to happen.
"Well you're the normie who transferred here," Toralie said blocking Liberty's path.
"Yeah" Liberty replied uncomfortably around the werecat.
"Pathetic isn't she Gory?" Toralie asked the vampire that soon joined her.
"Yes she is"
"Leave me alone" Liberty declared trying to push past the duo.
"Awe look she's scared of us," Toralie asked pushing Liberty into a wall.
"No, I'm not"
"Let's get one thing straight normie you don't belong here" Gory hissed.
"My name is Liberty"
"Who cares you need to go"
"Hey leave her alone " Frankie cried rushing forwards.
"Yeah" Draculaura agreed.
"Why should we?"
"Because she hasn't done anything to you, " Shaggy said arriving with Scooby in tow.
"Oh look all the freaks of school in the same place " Gory sneered.
"Go away, " Liberty said again.
"Fine but we'll be back, " Toralie said.
"Are you okay Liberty?" Shaggy asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine, let's just go to lunch" Liberty replied.
"Sounds good to me " Shaggy replied.
When Liberty got home later she found the house empty and a new from her brother on the table.
Liberty I went shopping. Quit laughing at me I'll be back in an hour. Please finish unpacking your room and vacuum the floor. There are Oreos in the cabinet.
Buddy.
"Seriously?" Liberty laughed while grabbing the Oreos from the cabinet.
Liberty proceeded to drop her bag in the chair next to her as she ate her snack. After finishing she grabbed her bag and went to her room. She was greeted by boxes when she opened the door. There were two windows on the opposite wall. Her bed which was still messy from earlier was pushed against the right wall. Her desk was opposite to that as was her bookshelf which was still empty. She set to work by opening box after box. For once Liberty took her time doing something. She organized all her books onto her shelf. She filled her desk drawers with random things like colored pencils and journals. She then set up her laptop and iPad.
Little by little the boxes were disappearing from her room
"That's where I put it" Liberty cried once she'd found her CD player.
Happily, she plugged it into the wall and started the disk that had been left in there. She smiled, even more, when the Hex Girls started playing. Lastly, she hung up her posters and found her pictures. She set her framed pictures above the shelf that held little oddities like her Funko Pop figures. She dropped into her desk chair happy with the way her room looked. It now felt more like home. Twenty minutes later just as she was finishing her task of vacuuming the floor Buddy came home.
Buddy was twenty-four. He acted mature for his age mostly because he took care of Liberty. He was tall and had the same brown hair and eyes that Liberty had.
"Hey squirt" he greeted his sister.
"Stop calling me that" Liberty replied rolling her eyes.
"No" Buddy replied.
"Why not?"
"It annoys you"
"Haha did you have fun shopping?" Liberty asked trying not to laugh.
"Hey, you wanna eat don't ya?" Buddy asked.
"Stop imitating Harley Quinn already you don't do it right," Liberty said as she put the vacuum away.
"Oh, so you're an expert now?" Buddy asked trailing behind Liberty as he put away the groceries.
"Well, I wouldn't go that far" Liberty drawled.
"How does pizza sound for dinner?"
"Take out or frozen?"
"I was thinking we could eat our "
"Really?"
"Yeah if you did what I asked"
"I did" Liberty replied jumping up and down excitedly.
"Then get your shoes on and let's go," Buddy said.
Liberty was quick to grab her grey tennis shoes. She hopped around trying to jam them on quickly. Once she'd done that she ran outside and threw herself into the passenger seat of the car taking time to put on her seatbelt. Buddy followed lazily behind her laughing at how fast she could be when she wanted to.
"Well you got here quickly" he laughed as he climbed in.
"It's pizza, of course, I was fast"
"Where do you want to get pizza from?"
"I don't really mind"
"Pizza Hut then?"
"Sounds good"
"Okay"
"I suppose you want to know how school went?" Liberty asked looking out the window.
"Yes please"
"Okay then"
Liberty told her brother about the monsters she'd met, what classes were like but she refused to tell him about the run-in with Toralie and Gory.
"Sounds like you had a good day, " Buddy said as they pulled into the parking lot.
"Yeah, I guess I did" Liberty agreed.
Note: Okay should I continue this?
