Circle of "Friends"
Mario- one of the school's finest badasses. Not really, but he is pretty popular. He knows his friends and enemies. Most of the time, he slacks off, but he does get good grades, which is the only reason why he isn't still in 1st grade.
Luigi- the average wimp of the school. Mostly a loner, but he stays close to his brother. Girls shun him; guys tease him; Daisy just scares him.
Peach- the most popular girl in school. Jumping from guy to guy. She's leader of the cheer squad and best friends with Daisy.
Daisy- most random girl in school. She hangs out with the popular guys and stays away from the geeks. She only hangs around Luigi because she's always hanging around Mario.
Bowser- one of the school's bullies. He picks on most of the kids a few seconds after the bell rings, when the teachers close the class doors. Luigi is his favorite prey.
Toad- the school annoyance. Naive and gullible. Easily excited and such.
Rosalina- the school's smart hot chick. She's the vice president and almost every guy eats out of her palm. Peach and Daisy are her best friends.
Wario- the school's thief. Mostly spending time in detention.
Waluigi- (look at Wario; just add "likes to blow things up")
Mr. L (Lucas) - the school's Mr. Mystery. Jumping from girl to girl. BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING: I like the name Lucas and I doubt teachers will ever call a kid "Mr. L" unless they're cool like that.
That's pretty much all the characters. LET'S BEGIN; PRESS START

CHAPTER 1
Ah, high school. The beginning of hell for some, but for others, the beginning of life.
It's where love spawns; where the world stops for just the two of you.
9th grade was quite the adventure for a certain group of friends.
"High school is a world of predator and prey; a world that never ends." Mario looked at Luigi, who was jamming books in his backpack.
"That's what you say. I have a feeling that this year will be awesome." Luigi stood up from the concrete floors. The stairs of the school still looked the same way they did a year ago. Being a freshmen defiantly felt…different. Of course, the routine wouldn't change.
The first day of school, Mario would be dragged off with his other friends, leaving Luigi alone with the girls. The girls would ditch him for the popular boys and the nerds would come along. The nerds would ditch Luigi too, leaving him with the bullies. The bullies would beat him up and the day would be over.
Mario rolled his blue eyes and sighed. "That's what you've said since middle school."
"That was a different time, this is high school. New places, new faces…"
"New teachers…" Mario continued. The girls swarmed around each other as they walked past the brothers. The air suddenly reeked of potent perfumes and scented lip gloss. "New ladies."
Daisy and Peach were in the center of the circle, chatting with the other girls. "Angie made out with Brandon over the summer." Peach flipped her blonde hair and bat her eyes. "I told him he was missing out on all of this," She gestured to herself and swayed her hips. "But you know men. They're all retards." The girls around her quickly agreed, nodding in sync. Daisy looked over at the brothers and smiled. She ran over to them.
"DUDES!" She cheered and jumped in between them, putting her arms around both of them. "How have you been?" She backed away as they walked towards the stairs together.
"Bored." Mario cracked his knuckles.
"F-fine." Luigi looked away from Daisy. He always thought that Daisy would attack him at any minute and if he said the wrong thing as the wrong time…goodbye cruel world!
"Cool, cool. I heard that some guy ate a banana over the summer for the first time." Daisy said casually, her face straight.
"What?" The brothers both opened the doors to the school as the teenagers flooded in.
"I know. I hate bananas, though." Her eyes widened and she looked at the brothers. "SHHHH! Don't tell the gorillas!" She ran off to the swarm of girls around Peach.
Mario and Luigi looked at each other with the same glance. What the hell just happened?
Mr. L appeared next to Luigi wearing all black, as usual, and the same mask that covered his eyes. "Hey."
Luigi looked at him and let out a girly scream. The entire school paused to look at the three. Mario signaled for them to resume whatever they were doing. "What do you want, L?"
"What? I can't say hi to my favorite pair of man-ladies?" Mr. L snickered.
Luigi gulped. "I thought you were moving."
"I was…" Mr. L looked at his fingers, "But let's just say that my parents had a change of…heart." He laughed evilly making the school turn to him again. "Where's that crazy one?"
"You mean Daisy?" Mario looked around the lockers for number 2435.
"Yeah, she still single?"
"How should I know?"
"You hang out with her every flipping day."
"But I don't get into her love life."
"You don't get in her at all."
Mario slugged him in the arm, making Mr. L laugh. They both had lockers next to each other, so that was going to be a fun show to see after school.
Luigi walked ahead to the 3000 locker numbers. The cheer squad's giggling could be heard down the hall. They all stopped as Daisy was unlocking her locker. Luigi kept walking, looking at the numbers carefully. Since his attention was elsewhere, he accidently bumped into Daisy.
"Watch where you're…"
"I'm so sor…"
The two looked at each other as the cheer squad "Ooooo"ed in a loving fashion.
"I have locker 3298." Daisy moved her hand to her side and straightened out her spine.
"I have locker…3299." Luigi looked at the two lockers.
Peach looked over at them and chanted along with the other girls.
"DAISY'S GOT A BOOOYYYFRRIIIEENNDD!"
Daisy looked back at Luigi, balling her fist. Luigi felt his body turn pale.
The bell was about to ring in five seconds. Bowser and his posse hid in the boy's bathroom. As the bell blared, they all walked out, carrying fake "hall patrol" badges. They stepped in sync, looking around the halls.
One boy wearing green slammed his locker shut and grabbed his books, running quickly to class. Bowser laughed and ran over to him, slamming his body on another locker.
"Look what we got here, boys." Bowser pinned Luigi.
"It's the nerd." A trooper chimed.
"The wimp." Another scoffed.
"The chubby one's brother!" The last one exclaimed.
"That's right, boys." Bowser pulled his fake badge out. "And since we're patrol, I'm going to need a hall pass."
"False!" Luigi denied. "The school never assigns patrol to freshmen!"
"Looks like we got a smart one." A trooper hissed.
Bowser flipped Luigi over and shook him until his blood rushed to his brain. "No hall pass, huh? Guess I'll just settle for lunch money."
"B-Bowser, come, come on. I give you all my mon, money all the time." Bowser shook him again and a few dollars fell out.
"That'll do." Bowser let one of the troopers take the money off the ground. He dropped Luigi and he picked the books off the floor. "Don't let me catch you out here again."
Luigi scampered off to science class, pushing the door wide open. The entire class room looked at him suspiciously. The teacher moved away from the board and put her ruler down. She glanced at a list of names. Luigi could see his name was the only one not checked off.
"Late, aren't you, Luigi?" The teacher said sternly.
"Sorry, it's just…"
"The sooner you sit, the sooner I'll forget this ever happened." She pointed to an empty seat in the back of the room. Luigi trudged over to the seat and plopped down, sighing loudly. The teacher resumed class as the students began to point at him and whisper.
"Good morning class," A male teacher walked in, his black tie swaying from side to side. "My name is Mr. Hastings, but just call me Mr. H. I will be your math teacher."
The students groaned at word math. Mr. Hastings sighed. "It's a fun subject, once you get past all the variables and fractions and equations and…I'll stop there."
Mario felt something hit him in the back of his head. He grabbed a piece of crumpled up paper and unfolded it.
Welcome to boringville, MK. –D
Mario chuckled under his breath and wrote something back, tossing it behind him. Daisy caught it quickly, making sure that Mr. Hastings was still scribbling away on the chalk board.
I bet I'll fall asleep in the first two minutes. –M
Daisy wrote again and tossed it back. Mr. Hastings didn't notice a single thing. Daisy and Mario normally passed notes in many of the common core classes because they were normally put in the same classes. They repeated their actions for the next few minutes.
I bet I'll fall asleep in the first minute. -D
Is that a challenge?! –M
You bet your butt it is! BOOM! :D –D
They both looked at each other and silently counted down to the next minute. The clock ticked to the next minute and they both leaned back on their chairs, pretending to sleep.
"I will not have slacking in my class so please do not slack off," Mr. Hastings turned around and gasped at the two. "SLACKERS!"
They both jumped up, but Daisy fell back. The entire class roared with laughter. Mario put his hand out and pulled the laughing Daisy up. "Are you okay?" He said in between laughs.
"I'm fine. I'll get you yet, though." They both turned to Mr. Hastings.
"Freshmen." Mr. Hastings grumbled.
The entire class calmed down for the rest of the period, except for a few giggles here and there.
Mr. L tapped his pencil on the desk to the beat of the clock. He sighed and stared at the wall. The teacher was going on about synonyms and all this other English stuff that Mr. L never cared about. He didn't speak like a five year old, that's all that matters, right?
"Lucas!" The teacher hissed.
"Teacher!" He hissed back.
"You are day dreaming again. Stop!"
"You are being boring again. Stop!"
Part of the class giggled. The teacher put the yard stick down slowly. "Do you have the summer homework I assaigned?"
"Yeah. Somewhere." Mr. L leaned back on the chair.
"Lucas, you will get nowhere in life. I'm just being honest and you can never get in trouble with honesty." The teacher mused.
"Thanks for the encouragement." Mr. L rolled his eyes.
Rosalina stood up from her desk in the corner of the room and rushed over to the teacher. "I'm sorry that I didn't hand this in during the bell."
Mr. L studied Rosalina carefully, taking mental note of all her features. He smirked, pleased with what he saw.
"It's fine, Rosalina. Please, have a seat." The teacher's voice was suddenly soft.
Rosalina nodded and walked slowly back to her desk. Mr. L followed her every movement and she looked back at him too, only to scoff.
She likes me, he thought as he turned back around.
What is this? A side story, you say? Yes my friends, this is a side story and it will be pretty long. Since many people have been writing stories about the Mario gang in high school, I thought, why the heck not? So this is what I have. If I get some positive reviews, then I will continue this little series until the very end. I will update the Broken Hearts on 12/23/12 so be on the lookout then. Hope you enjoyed and review if you want! Thanks!
