Wayside School Gets Perfeqt: Curtains Opens

Author's Notes: First take on Wayside FF and yes the title is intentional. I just watched the show season 1 and 2 and instantly fell in love with it. Doing my take on OC into the series. Won't tamper anything, following the story line from start to finish. And yes, I'm starting at Wayside's Special and ending at Season 3. Also one final word, I will continue on my other story so expect something from me soon. Well enough talk, lets take a dive into the film. Cue the intro music!

I DO NOT OWN WAYSIDE SCHOOL NOR BOOKS. THIS IS JUST MY OWN TAKE. NO COPYRIGHT INTENDED.

Bus Ride

It was a beautiful day for a science experiment. Sunny skies, birds chirping, and a outstanding performance by gravity. All of this is happening outside while we find our hero running late on the first day of school. It's bad enough our little OC is having trouble containing himself in a slow bus, he never tranferred schools before and he already missed his friends back at his old school. Insecurity was the word to describe himself. The feeling of being with friends is the greatest feeling... except eating toast with almost anything. The kid grew up to love toast and ate toast on breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even for a midnight snack.

"Er, excuse me bus driver are we at Wayside yet?" the little kid asked. The little child has rectangular glasses, he is wearing a muscle shirt for the hot heat in August, and basketball shorts to cool off. He has black hair but his front bang has a light shade of hue. The boy is lightly tanned all around with the exception of a major tan line at his feet.

"For the last time kid, this hunk-o-junk is moving as fast as she can!" the bus driver barked.

"I'M SORRY but wasn't school supposed to start, like, I don't know 10 minutes ago?" the boy asked.

"No kiddo," the bus driver snapped.

"Wa-Wait, then I'm not late?" the boy asked hopefully. All that hope is soon to be crushed to a million pieces.

"No," the bus driver sighed, "Wayside supposed to start 20 minutes ago and you are more than late."

The boy slumped in his seat and wondered how would the teacher react if he told his excuse of sleeping late. Or maybe he can lie about being lost in school and get away with it. No he can't do that, or else that would make his record worse and god knows what would the punishment be if he gets another tardy.

"If it makes you feel any better kid, how about you tell me about yourself to pass the time," the bus driver suggested, "lets start with your name."

"Zane...Kowalski, Zane Kowalski," Zane said triumphantly, " I have a American father and a Vietnamese mother, I'm the only child, I like to eat toast and everyone should eat at least one toast in their life, and..."

"...We are here kiddo," the bus driver pointed to the tall school. Zane pressed his face against the window, he gazed the school from bottom to top and gawked at the height. The brochure was not joking about having a tall school and having different buildings on each floor.

"Well off you go little-un," the bus driver pushed a button and ejected Zane out and sped off.

"WAIT," Zane called out, "are you sure this is it?"

"Ever seen a tall school like this," the bus driver replied. Zane turned around and admired the height of the school... ! Zane realized he is in a hurry and needs to get to class, fast. He rushed to the doorway and noticed there are some furnitures, coffee pots, school supplies, and even a sack of potatos lodged into the ground. Zane bounded while avoiding the rubble but can't help but to wonder what happened?

Wayside Main Entrance

When Zane first walked into the building, he was even more amazed by the clean environment of the school. There was green marbled floor with a coat-of-arms design at the center of the entrance. The coat-of-arms has a platypus at the center of the shield. Strangely, there was a receptionist center but there is no person behind the computer. Behind Zane, there was a trophy case and... a dispenser of trophy cases? Zane pulled out his letter. The letter was for Zane to remind him what class and teacher he is supposed to go. It read "Ms. Jewels: All subject. 30th floor but no 19th floor. The builder is very sorry". And the rest is scribbles and a picture of a platypus. Zane's mouth was hanging, he almost forgotten that he has to climb 30 stories just to reach a class. Suddenly, the intercom came on and the principal of Wayside spoke.

. . .

*ATTENTION STUDENTS, ATTENTION. THIS IS PRINCIPAL KIDSWATTER SPEAKING. I LIKE US ALL TO WELCOME A NEW STUDENT TO WAYSIDE. HIS NAME IS 344 SOUTH FAIRVIEW. WELCOME 344, THANK YOU. WAIT THAT'S NOT HIS NAME? HIS ADDRESS? HIS NAME IS TODD? WHATEVER, LIKE WE NEED ANOTHER SNOT-NOSED BRATS AROUND WAYSIDE. ESPECIALLY WITH HIS RECORD. DID YOU EVEN SEE WHAT HE DID TO HIS LAST SCHOOL? DON'T TELL ME TO SHUT UP, YOU SHUT UP. WAIT ARE THEY HEARING WHAT I'M SAYING RIGHT NOW? HOW DO I SHUT THIS THING OFF? STUPID MIC-*

"How does a principal mix an address with a name and that was plain rude," Zane spoke. "Well time to run up these stairs!" Zane double-knotted his shoes and ran up the stairs, with easy pace he can ramp up speed and soon he'll find himself running without any problems. Suddenly the intercom came on and Zane listened as he ran.

*UH, SORRY DUDES. THIS IS LOUIS, THE SCHOOLYARD TEACHER KIDSWATTER HAS A BIT OF A PROBLEM BUT HE FORGOTTEN ONE STUDENT. WAYSIDE, PLEASE WELCOME ZANE KOWALSKI AND GIVE HIM A WARM WELCOME WHEN YOU-HEY! MR. KIDSWATTER WHAT ARE YOU-?- THERE'S ANOTHER BRAT IN THIS SCHOOL? HE'S A KOALA?! That's Kowalski Mr. K. I DON'T CARE, NOT ANOTHER STUPID... WAAAAAHHHH!*

"That guy got serious problems with names and cries," Zane thought. "oh well I'm on the 12th floor, at this rate I can reach the 30th floor with no problem... ah jeez!" Zane pinched his nose when he came across the 15th floor, it was an awful smell of death with a dash of sweaty socks and sauteed rotten kale. He had to pace himself or else he would puke his guts out.

"What was that smelly room?" Zane wondered. God knows what's behind those doors.

"This isn't working, I have to get a sip of water and I think I'll make a stop at the eighteenth floor." Zane puffed.

. . .

18th Floor

A normal hallway with classrooms on each side of the wall. Zane stood still to catch his breath and took a big sip of water to hydrate himself. A thought struck his head, he remembered about the letter saying there is no 19th floor so he looked around. Right in front Zane was a rectangular hole that is boarded up with planks. There is a big gap between the hallway and the 19th floor. A bunch of plywood lay on the dirt floor. Someone must've attempted to make it into the 19th floor but what kind of lunatic would do that? Zane slowly backed off and continue running but a locker was open and he fell right in! The poor kid got sucked into a tube and ascended, he prayed that he lives and make it to the 30th floor.

After a few bumps, sharp turns, loops, and zig-zags. Zane tumbled out of the locker and into a door. We find our sensitive OC rubbing his head and looked around, a big number 30 showed on the wall. HE MADE IT. Now all Zane needs to do is enter the classroom.

"Ok Kowalski," Zane muttered, "you can do this! Introduce yourself and make new... friends." With that final comment, he pressed a button and the door opened. An adult looked at him and so did other kids gazed at him.
