CHAPTER I More Assembly Insanity
September 12, back to school, 8:30 A.M.
"Welcome back students!" The principal, Mr. Leam said happily as 250 students chattered away with everyone around them.
"Students!" He shouted, trying to get their attention. The chattering continued. "Students!" He spoke up. Nothing. "STUDENTS!" He shouted even louder. Still nothing. "STUDENTS!" Also nothing. "SHUT UP!" Finally silence. "Thank you. Now I want to tell you all about some things happening this year."
Everyone just looked at him, bored.
"YOU SUCK!"
"All right! Who said that?" Mr. Leam shouted.
"I did."
He sighed. "Mr. Jule… how many times do I-"
Yzak interrupted him. "Not enough, apparently."
Another sigh. "You know about your punishment, right?"
"Yeah," he answered. "Get down to the detention room… you'll be having anger-management classes there," Mr. Leam said. "Okay," Yzak said simply, walking out of the gym.
So Mr. Leam went on and on about the importance of achievement while Yzak was planning something…
Out in the hallway…
"Yzak… I don't know about this… what if we get caught?" Nicol asked nervously as Yzak filled countless water balloons with… well… water from the fountain in the hall and then set the filled balloons into buckets.
"Nicol, you want to be a part of this group, then you have to play the part. Now shut up and fill the damn balloons, " Yzak hissed. Nicol sighed and did as he was told. "If this is a group, then why are there only two of us? Wouldn't that make us a duo? Maybe a couple?"
Yzak looked at him for a minute. "You're such an idiot."
Nicol muttered: "I'm just trying to make a point…"
He rolled his eyes. "Well, it would be a group if Dearka was here. But he didn't want to show up today. There, happy?"
"Yes, Yzak…" he muttered. "And it would be even better if Athrun didn't hate messing with authority so much," Yzak added, "then again, I don't really like Athrun…"
Back in the gym…
"-And that is the importance of achievement," Mr. Leam concluded after a boring speech. "Now to move on to-"
He was interrupted by a shout from our favourite silver-haired troublemaker, who was standing at the entrance to the gym with Nicol: "TAKE THIS, SLAVE DRIVER!"
With that he threw one of the water balloons. It sailed across the gym and nailed Mr. Leam in the face, soaking him completely in the process. There was silence. "YZAK!" Mr. Leam screamed. "Wow, he didn't say Mr. Jule this time… He must be really pissed…" Yzak thought. "TELL ME RIGHT THIS SECOND WHO WAS IN WITH YOU ON THIS!" Mr. Leam screamed. "Okay. Nicol Amalfi-" he pointed to poor Nicol standing beside him, looking as if he was about to cry. And that's just what he did.
"IS THAT ALL?" The enraged principal screamed. Yzak threw another water balloon in his face, then replied: "Not exactly."
"WHO ELSE, THEN!"
"Dearka Elsman," he lied. "Oh- and Athrun Zala."
-In the audience, Athrun groaned. "Stupid Yzak…"
"ALL RIGHT! NICOL! YOU'RE IN STUDENT SUPPORT FOR THE NEXT FOUR MONTHS! ATHRUN! SO ARE YOU! DEARKA! YOU TOO! AND YZAK! OH BOY, YZAK; EIGHT HOUR DETENTIONS! ON THE WEEKENDS! ALL YEAR!" Mr. Leam exploded. "Four months?" Nicol asked in disbelief. "Weekends!" Shouted Yzak. "OVER MY DEAD BODY!" With that he grabbed another water balloon and chucked it at Mr. Leam. Once again, it hit him in the face. He stood there, looking like he was having a hard time containing himself."Cool! I made my principal snap!" Yzak said jokingly. That was it...he lost it.
"OH, THAT'S IT, BUDDY!" He ran towards Yzak who looked really surprised. "Uh-oh.."
"I'M GONNA WRING YOUR DAMN NECK, YOU LITTLE PUKE!" The psychotic Principal screamed. Yzak turned and ran like the devil was at his heels. And that was hardly off the mark. "OH, I'M GOING TO ENJOY THIS!" The entire population of the gym heard as their broken up principal chased Yzak to God knows where.
When the angry screaming faded, everyone was silent. Their eyes fell onto Nicol. And well...with him being really self-conscious- thatdidn't sit very well..."Stop looking at me!" He cried, chucking four water balloons out into the crowd. That was followed by at least 150 of the students running at Nicol and grabbing the buckets of water balloons. Thus a huge water balloon fight broke out in the gym. "OH MY GOSH!" Nicol cried as seven peopleall threw water balloons at him.
A/N: All right, that's the end of chapter one... nine more to go... anyway, review and tell me what you think! Please be nice!
