Hello my fellow readers! I'm here with another story! This will be my first Clarence story as a heads up. Hope you guys can enjoy!
The sun shine strongly throughout the lovely town of Aberdale, Arizona, as Clarence was in his mother's car, sitting down on the front passenger's seat and watching the road passed by, while his mother Mary drove to her destination. To Clarence, any day was just another moment of fun and excitement, but today was a special occasion, because this marked his first day starting as a fourth grader alongside his friends, Jeff and Sumo. He just couldn't wait to meet up with them, as well as looking forward to the fourth grade adventures that they'll have.
Mary, for the most part, was just humming happily to the tune of her favorite radio station, still driving Clarence to school, before she began to form a small conversation with her beloved son.
"So Clarence, what are your plans for today?" Mary asked, not taking her eyes off the road.
"Sumo, Jeff and I are going to our treehouse and explore! You know, the usual stuff!" Clarence replied with a huge smile on his face. "I can't wait for all of us to meet as fourth graders."
"That's wonderful Clarence! Just make sure you don't cause trouble," Mary then smiled, before she slowly pulled up to Aberdale Elementary School; like its usual morning on the weekdays, the streets were crowded with cars, with parents dropping off their children to school. It didn't took long for Mary to reach the curb of the street and parked shortly afterwards, allowing Clarence to exit out the car, with his backpack already in hand.
"Bye mom!" Clarence waved at his mother, with Mary waving back, before she sped off to the streets and into traffic. With his mother now gone, Clarence began to turn around to get a glimpse of his school.
But what he saw in front of him shocked the normally optimistic boy; the school was surrounded by a sea of girls and if there's one thing Clarence is socially awkward with were girls. Once the shock finally wore off, Clarence begin to panic.
"Oh no! what do I do!? Why are there so many girls here?! Did they take over the world?!"
Just as Clarence was about to freak out and lose his mind he heard his name being called.
"Clarence! Clarence!"
The optimistic boy instantly calmed down and looked around to see his friends, Sumo and Jeff, running towards him. The three boys hugged for a quick moment, relieved to see one another.
"Sumo! Jeff! Boy I'm glad to see you guys!" Clarence happily exclaimed.
"Me too Clarence." Sumo replied back, before frowning as he looked at his surroundings. "What is this?!"
"It's Aberdale Elementary school obviously!" Jeff pointed out the obvious, causing Sumo to give his friend an annoyed look.
"I know that Jeff! I'm referring to all these girls!"
"Maybe they're more of us boys inside the school," Clarence suggested.
"I don't think that is the case Clarence." Jeff disagreed, as shaking his head, before the three boys heard a familiar voice.
"What the?! What is this!?" All three boys eye widened upon hearing that voice; Sumo and Jeff were displeased as to who it was, but Clarence gasped in happiness once he recognized the voice.
"Belson!" Clarence turned around and smiled brightly, before noticing there was another boy standing behind him. He looked to be around the same age as them, probably nine or ten years old, with spiky jet black hair, semi-pale skin and light green almond shaped eyes, wore a black trench coat over his white t-shirt, black jeans and black boots, with a black scarf surrounded his neck.
"Wow...this is something I rarely see everyday," The boy spoke in slight shock, as everyone but Belson stared at him.
"Uh…who are you?" Sumo asked, arching an eyebrow.
"My name is Haru," The boy greeted, scratching his head. "So It seems we're the only boys here."
"It's seems like it," Jeff agreed.
"But I wonder why there are only girls here?" Clarence asked out loud.
Just at the boys were starting to figure out why there were so many girls here, they were confronted by a grown woman.
"Ah, you must be the boys that the principal has carefully chosen."
Clarence, Sumo, Jeff, Belson and Haru turned around and saw Ms. Baker, one of the teachers of Aberdale Elementary Academy with with a smile on her face. She was a very tall figure, possessing think brown hair that almost reached her elbows and black eyes, wearing a pair of glasses, a purple jacket over a white shirt and a skirt that was as yellow as a number two pencil, which the boys finds it somewhat disturbing, high white socks and pink heels.
"Carefully chosen?" Jeff asked out of curiosity.
"Yes, do any of you remember receiving a letter from this school?" Ms Baker asked.
"I have received a letter that I was accepted here," Jeff was the first to speak.
"Me too!" Clarence nodded his head.
"So did I," Haru added.
"I received the letter as well," Sumo spoke.
"Same with me," Belson shrugged his arms as a confirmation.
"Follow me boys, I'll take you to the principal office," Ms. Baker said, as she adjusted her glasses
Although very reluctant to go with Ms. Baker, the five boys followed the teacher nevertheless and into the academy building. As they walked to their destination, they saw girls almost everywhere they looked and Clarence, Jeff and Sumo were begin to feel nervous, being the only boys here. Belson was playing on his handheld device, while Haru was indifferent of the situation. Being the only boys on school grounds, it didn't took too long for some of the girls to look at them in shock and whispered among themselves.
"Is that was I think it is?!"
"Boys?!"
"What are boys doing here?!"
Clarence was feeling a bit tense and hid behind Haru, who was too occupied following Ms. Baker to notice the frightened boy behind him. After a few moments of walking and awkward staring, they finally arrived at the main office.
"Okay boys, you go ahead and grab a seat, while I get the principal," Ms. Baker said.
The boys nodded their heads and took a seat on a bench. As soon as Ms. Baker disappeared in the back, Belson let out a distressed cry.
"Argh! What in the world are we doing doing here!?" This caused Haru to give Belson a look.
"Geez, we would get the answer if you stop complaining!"
"Shut up! I bet you're like us trembling in fear of being near girls!" Belson complained.
"I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm perfectly fine," Haru simply casually replied.
"Whatever!" Belson exclaimed, rolling his eyes with indifference.
Just then they saw Ms. Baker coming towards them.
"The principal are ready to see you guys."
Clarence, Jeff and Sumo let out a gulp before they, along with Belson and Haru, followed Ms. Baker in the back, before reaching the door that lead to the principal's office, as she opened it and entered the principal office with the boys behind them.
"Ah, so glad you boys have shown up!"
The boys finally met the principal, who was a woman with long flowing chestnut hair, light tan skin and brown eyes. Being the person who is head of Aberdale elementary she wore a brown suit which consisted of a long sleeve button shirt and skirt. Like Ms. Baker she wore glasses as well. She has a smile on her face.
"Have a seat, boys," The principal spoke.
Each of the boys sat down at the their chosen seats.
"First of all, I wanted to say welcome to Aberdale Elementary Academy."
'Aberdale Elementary Academy?' Both Jeff and Haru thought to themselves the same reaction of confusion.
"Thank you…uh….?" Clarence started to stutter, realizing he doesn't know the principal's name, who simply chuckled in response to his behavior.
"Call me Principal Alice," This cause Clarence to smile a bit.
"Principal Alice! Where are all the boys at here in this school?"
"Ah, I was wondering when you were going to ask that, Clarence," Alice smirked. All the boys gasped as soon as Principal Alice called Clarence by his name, prompting Sumo to speak up.
"Wait, how do you know Clarence's name? Explain yourself!"
"Gladly Sumo!" The principal laughed at the boys' reaction. "The reason I know all of your names is that you have been selectively chosen by me to attend here at Aberdale Elementary Academy."
"That doesn't explain why there no boys here!" Belson argued.
"That's because there are no boys attending here," Ms. Baker chimed in. "Aberdale Elementary Academy is now an all girls school."
This took the boys by complete surprise, their eyes widened in shock and their jaws almost dropped to the ground. They never imagined that this school would be converted into an all girls academy; sure, there are a lot of girls to begin with, but Clarence, Sumo and Jeff had a silver line of hope to see more boys other than themselves. Now they were told otherwise and grew uncomfortable around girls for the rest of the school year
"Yes boys; this school is only accept girls," Alice added.
"If that's the case then why are we here?" Haru questioned the principal, as she took a deep breath before offering an explanation to him.
"Aberdale Elementary Academy has been an girl-only school for a long time and as principal for the past decade, I was content with it, until I recently came across revelation: this is the only school in this area. All the other elementary schools are located in downtown and the remaining schools around this area are middle and high schools. Once this crossed my mind, I came up with a solution: my staff and I carefully scrolled over a large amount of boys and picked the ones who have the requirements that I was looking for."
"So that means we're your ideal candidates." Jeff spoke, understanding what Alice was talking about, but he was still at a lost for what he and his friends were chosen for. "Candidates for what?"
"Why, to turn this all girl school into a co-ed school where boys and girls could attend together," Alice answered.
"Wow!" Clarence's eyes glowed brightly, as he felt in his own mind that he was chosen for an important mission from the president and he does not want to mess it up. In his excitement, he jumped out of his chair and climbed on the principal desk.
"Principal Alice! With every fiber in my little body, all five of us will accept your request and make sure your decision of picking us was worth it!"
"What?!" The boys except for Haru, shouted in dismay.
Principal Alice smiled brightly, while Ms. Baker was chuckling.
"Oh, thank you Clarence, but I need their permission as well." Clarence frowned a bit before jumping off the desk and facing the other boys.
"What do you say guys? Are you with me?"
"Are you mad Clarence?! There's no way I'm staying here!" Sumo objected.
"Well that's a shame..." Alice began. "This school have better tasting food here. In fact, on Fridays, the students can get a variety of desserts." Her words caught Sumo's attention and his frown turned into a smile.
"Really?! Like ice cream, cookies, cake or even ice cream cake?!"
"That and plenty more," Alice answered.
"I'm in!" Sumo shouted happily, as Clarence smiled to his friend's response, before turning to Jeff.
"Jeff? Are you in?" Jeff, however, scratched his chin nervously, unsure how to respond back to his friend.
"I dunno, Clarence. I mean it's nice and all being chosen for this out of all the other boys but…"
"Jeff, may I speak?" Ms. Baker asked softly. "Throughout the school year we have clubs like the science club and the spelling bee club to put your brain to the test with other students here or from other states."
"R-really?!" Jeff was suddenly liking the idea.
"Ms. Baker speaks the truth," Alice assured the eager boy.
"Yes! You can count me in!" Jeff agreed to stay.
Clarence cheered as he now happy that his two best friends are staying. He then turn to Belson.
"What about you Belson?"
"No, Clarence," Belson bluntly shot down the offer. "There is nothing I can do exciting around here!"
"Belson, huh?" Principal Alice asked, scratching her chin. "You know, some of the teachers like Ms. Baker here, take their students to fun places like the mall, restaurants and even the arcade."
"There's go to be more than that to get me to agree," Belson argued, looking at Principal Alice suspiciously.
Alice smiled, went up to him and whispered something into his ear. Whatever it was, it caused Belson's jaw to dropped and grinned happily.
"You seriously can do that?!" Belson excitedly asked, as Alice nodded her head once more.
"That and more Belson."
"Lady, you got yourself a deal!" Belson smirked happily.
"Glad we came into an agreement then," Alice then turn to her attention to the last boy. "Haru was it?" The black haired kid nodded his head.
"Yes, Principal Alice and I already have decided that I'm going to accept your offer."
The principal clapped her hands happily now that the boys accepted her offer to stay here.
"That's wonderful! Now that everyone's on board I'll got over the schedule we have and the rules and regulations as well."
A half hour went by and the boys are n,ow following Ms. Baker to her classroom, since all of them will be in the same class together much to Clarence, Jeff and Sumo relief and joy.
"I can't believe we're all going to be in the same class together!" Clarence shouted in happiness barely containing his excitement.
"It's good we are sharing the same class," Sumo let out a sigh of relief. "Because if we had to separate, frankly, I don't think I would be able to survive here."
"Come on Sumo, is not that bad," Jeff insisted otherwise.
"Ugh! I just hope that lady held up the end of her bargain and prove whatever she said were true," Belson said.
"What did the principal whispered to you anyway?" Jeff curiously asked.
"It's none of your business!" Belson angrily shouted.
"Geez! I only justed asked!" Jeff backed away from Belson, turned off by his rudeness, while Clarence smiled to this, before tapping Haru's shoulder to get his attention.
"Hey Haru, you've been rather quiet. Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," Haru bashfully scratched his head. "Sorry, I'm not the talkative type."
"Is it because of the gigantic rules that the principal wanted us to follow?" Clarence asked, prompting Haru to nod in response.
"That and me attending where the students are all girls is rather…intimidating".
"Don't worry, my friend!" Clarence shouted with much confidence. "Just stick with us and we'll get through this mission just fine!"
Even though Haru is still feeling shaken from the circumstances he's in right now Clarence optimistic reassurance made Haru forming a smile and his body initially tense is now relaxed.
"Thanks Clarence. Hope we can be friends."
"You know it!" Clarence smiled brightly, just as he and his friends finally arrived at their destination.
"Alright boys we're here," Ms Baker said as she opened the door.
Each of the boys nervously gulped, as they begin entering the classroom.
'What can possibly go wrong?' Clarence asked in his mind.
But little do the boys know that they'll be entering into a new world that few boys have or ever will see in their entire lives.
And there you have it folks the Prologue of Girls Only. Stay tuned for more as the boys will meed their classmates and a surprise character that most of us wish to appear in the show will appear.
