Haha! New story! Heh, I haven't been here for a long time. Stupid Internet roaches and their toxic slime _ :D

Note this: this was how me and my fellow HIVE friends were. To an extent. Obviously, I made the entire thing funnier. Duh. And some of the teachers are actually our teachers in real life.

DISCLAIMER: I OWN ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.


"—We're going to do such great things together."

A book slammed closed; someone had just finished reading a book. The girl grinned widely, and started rolling on her bed like a crazed dog. She sounded like one too.

"Finally…. Finally." She kept on saying, her long black hair sticking to her face. She hadn't bothered tying it, as it was still wet. She had stopped rolling, though she still held an insane look. She kept on repeating those words, until there was a knock on the door of the room she was in.

"What?" she asked irritatedly, and a scared fourth grader gave her a recently lost and found Math book.

"Thank you." She said gratefully, then she closed the door.

The girl sighed, flouncing to a close table and setting the book there. She plopped onto the bed, her hair spreading like a spider's web. She closed her eyes, as if she was sleeping, but in reality, she was daydreaming. School was cut short due to some strange meeting that the principal issued to the teachers.

So she spent her time daydreaming.

About her favorite book.

About the Higher Institute of Villainous Education, an institute she dreamed of going to.


The next day, her bus came by to pick her up and drag her to the completely tedious and dull place called school. Strangely enough, she did very well there. Though that didn't mean she enjoyed doing so.

After a minute or so, her friend got down the stairs, out the dorm and to the bus. They had a lot in common, one of them being the interest in H.I.V.E.

"Good morning Taia." Her friend said in a British accent, though they both knew she was Filipino. Taia's friend just liked the Brits.

"Hey Julie." The other replied, giving her customary wave with two fingers together. "So… hath ye finished ye booke named Escape Velocity?" she asked

"Yes." Julie replied bluntly. Suddenly, she broke into quiet laughter. "I felt so giddy on this page!" she said, showing Taia the page with the scene where Shelby had called Wing cute. Taia laughed.

"Of course you did."

Another friend and bus mate of theirs, Tammy Palmiano, jumped into the conversation. "I'm finished with the second book already, so I'll give it to you tomorrow." She said. "Thanks." Taia replied. "Can I borrow the second book?" another bus mate, Mel San Augustin asked.

"Is it okay if I hand her the book?" Tammy asked.

"Fine." Taia said. "But I'm beginning to miss my second H.I.V.E."


When they stalked off to school, due to their school bus breaking down, they were surprised to bump into a strangely sexy male. This was strange, due to the fact that they didn't meet many sexy males in their school. Most of them just weren't. Or they were gay. Taia thought that was just awesome.

They hadn't met a sexy male teacher in their school.

Especially not one that looked like a certain book character.

Especially not Wing. An older version, at least

"Holy Ff—" "Fohoho!" Julie said, clamping her hand over Taia's mouth. "Um, hello." The man said quietly. "Can you tell me where the principal's office is?"

"S-sure." Tammy stammered, leading the way. As they marched through the halls, they (not including Tammy, who led the way) hurriedly talked behind Wing's back.

"What is Wing doing here?!" Taia whispered. "Maybe you're overreacting." Mel said, though she sounded unsure of herself. "Of course I'm not overreacting!" Taia almost exclaimed.

"We have to be open to all options." Julie said smartly. "Maybe this is just a look-alike of Wing Fanchu."

"It's a very good look-alike then." Taia countered. "Honestly, if we're to be open to all suggestions, then we have to accept the possibility of this really being Wing, but only a few years older. We also have to accept the possible fact that H.I.V.E. could actually exist, and is looking for recruits, that's why Wing's here."

"Will you stop calling him Wing?" Mel asked. "Besides, we don't even know his name yet."

"Thank you." The man said, when they arrived to the principal's office. There were a couple of other teachers there, looking a tad bit nervous.

"Um… sir? What's happening here?" Mel asked.

"Oh, your school is recruiting teachers, you see. We," he said, referring to the crowd of teachers. "Are the new recruits, though we still have to be inaugurated as teachers."

"Oh, well, good luck then." Julie said.

"What's your name though?" Taia asked, before anyone could stop her. The man turned to her with a small smile.

"I'm Wing Fanchu. I hope to be your teacher. You four seem very bright." He said politely, and before they could say anything, they were shooed away by other teachers.


"I told you! I told you!" Taia exclaimed, when they reached their first break. "We get it!" Julie exclaimed, hitting the other on the head.

"So what if that person happens to look like Wing and happens to share his name?! Big deal!" said Tammy, but there was doubt in her own statement. Taia fumed.

"But really! Don't you think that this could be a discovery of a lifetime? What if H.I.V.E. really does exist? What if the Fabulous Four existed as well? Don't you think this could—"

"Taia."

Their Art and Homeroom teacher passed by, calling her name.

"I need you to bring some of our new teachers around during break time, if you could. You three could come as well," she said, referring to her friends. "As long as you don't mess around, I'm giving you the liberty of going to unauthorized areas without being punished for it."

"Yes ma'am." They replied in unison, turning to the new teachers. There were eight of them, and four of them very much stood out.

"Holy crap." Was all they could say.


"New teachers?"

Two best friends, Lizette and Melo, were conversing casually, when Melo brought up he subject of the new teachers.

"I know right? It's pretty cool, actually. I passed by one of them, and MAN, they were so awesome!" Melo said, waving her arms to emphasize their "awesome-ness". "I'm pretty sure that they were from different countries, because I heard them speaking with different accents. Plus, I honestly think that one of them bleached his hair white! He's so blonde that it's like pure snow!"

"Is that even allowed here?" asked Lizette. She had her limits when it came to things like that.

"I don't really know, but if they allowed it here, that either means that the hair-bleaching is allowed, or he's got albinism." Melo replied.

"Hmm… a teacher with albinism. That'll be interesting. Do you think that they'll be teaching the seventh graders?"

"Don't think so." Said Melo. "If they're new, I'm pretty sure that the system would put them somewhere easy, like the first grade."

"If that's true, then I feel sorry for them." Lizette said, pushing her long hair back. "Those stumps are more dangerous than people think."

Suddenly, a strange blur of tan, green, and black passed by, and stopped in front of them. It was Taia, looking as if she was running away.

Just maybe.

"If Julie or anyone else looks for me, tell them— tell them that I'm in a bathroom with a cow!" she said rather hurriedly, and most likely, she didn't even know what she said.

"But why—"

"TAIA COME BACK HERE AND DON'T YOU DARE BRING OUT YOUR STALKING EQUIPMENT!" was the loud exclamation that came from the other end of the corridor. At those words, Taia took off as fast as she could to the next building.

"But—er, Taia's not going to bring out her stalking equipment!" Lizette said quickly, as Julie, Mel, and Tammy rushed past them. When Julie halted rather suddenly, they all fell, as she was in the front of the line.

"She's—er… going to get the stuff she left in the library!" Melo said, straying off Taia's bizarre excuse. Julie gave them a hard death glare, and they crumbled.

"She's off to get her equipment." Lizette said. Julie gave her a small 'thank you', and ran off to Taia's secret storeroom of spying equipment.

A few buildings later, Julie, Mel, and Tammy caught up with Taia.

"I told you not to bring them out!" her friends shouted. Julie gave her a special, hard smack on the head, which somehow, Taia withstood.

"But I have a feeling that it's really them! It could be the Fabulous Four!" she exclaimed. She dodged another fatal hit to the head.

"They could just be look-alikes, you know." Julie said seriously. "But—"

Before Taia could say anything, a bell rang throughout the school. That signaled that their break was over, and Taia's chance of stalking them was over as well.

"Aww man! Why'd you stop me?!" Taia exclaimed.

"Because it would be most likely that you would start another riot between the students and the student council like you did last February." Julie said irritably. Before Taia could retort, their teacher entered the room. It was Math time, and they all HATED Math time. Their teacher was not boring, she was the devil's messenger (according to Taia) off to torture little children into insanity by using numbers and equations.

Julie just thought that Taia hated it since she was bad at it.

However, a sweet change came upon the classroom, when a pretty blonde girl entered the room. They hadn't expected that.

"Good afternoon everyone. My name is Miss Shelby Trinity, and I will be your new Math teacher from now on." She said kindly, and they all stood agape.

"I'm sad to say that won't be teaching anymore, due to her retirement as a sixty-year-old teaching veteran. However, I hope you won't mind me being here. I'll do the best I can to help all of you learn and have fun with Mathematics."

It was an obviously well-rehearsed speech, but it still caught the eye of most of the students. Others (mostly the boys) were just goggling at the teacher.


"She's a really good teacher."

Taia, Julie, Tammy and Mel surrounded one table, as they waited for the next teacher to come. There had always been a five-minute break between Math and Science classes, since Miss Carpio had to teach in another school building, and had to walk the entire way to their classroom. No one minded though.

However, before any of the four friends could reply, the teacher entered the room, four minutes earlier than anyone had expected.

Firstly, his hair was white.

It almost went downhill from there.

"OHMIGOD IT'S OTT—" Taia was muffled once more, this time by four hands. No one seemed to have noticed them, as they were at the back of the room.

"Good afternoon," he said. "My name is Mister Otto Malpense, and I will be filling in for your Science teacher, as she is on maternal leave. I hope you won't mind my teaching." He said rather sheepishly.

"First, I would like all of you to ask anything about me." He said casually. Taia was almost going to raise her hand, when Julie put it down.

"Nothing. About. HIVE." She said, and Taia pouted.

"Why is you hair white?" one of their classmates asked. Otto chuckled.

"It's because of my albinism. At a young age, my hair was already white. That would also explain the pale complexion and blue eyes." He explained briefly.

"Are you a Veela?" asked another student.

"No I am not a Veela, but thank you for thinking that I am one." He replied kindly.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" asked one of the female students, and almost everyone giggled. Almost.

"Sadly enough, no, but I do have a few female friends on my side." He said. Taia grinned.

"Of course he does," she whispered to Tammy, her seatmate, from the giggling of the teenage girls. "Laura and Shelby, that's who."

"Would you quit it with the HIVE?" Tammy asked pleadingly, but Taia shook her head.

After the quick question-and-answer session, they continued with the Science lesson. Luckily enough for Taia, she loved Science and answered almost every question like a complete encyclopedia.

"You're lucky you like Science." Said Mel, after Mr. Malpense left. "Because of your activeness, Otto will probably pick you into going to HIVE."

"See?! She thinks that they're from HIVE!" said Taia, and Tammy and Julie sighed.

"Well, now that it's lunch break, why don't we go to the Nook?" Tammy suggested, before Julie could strangle Taia. Again.


"….. and we were racing in HIVE using the Ottomobile!" said Taia, and they all laughed. Quietly though. They were in the library after all.

The Nook was just the space between two bookshelves in the General Collection Section of their library. But for some reason, it gave a sense of comfort, since it was an enclosed area. Surrounded by books, Julie and Taia took to the habit of staying there when they could.

When they recovered from their laughter, Tammy spoke up.

"But seriously. Otto named the car that Julie repaired the Ottomobile? That's just so corny!" she said, almost shouting it out. Luckily enough, the librarians were on the other side of the library, so they had to section all to themselves.

Recently, Taia and Julie had come up with a new HIVE fan-fiction. It had involved the four of them going to HIVE. Currently, they were telling the story to their friends. However, the antics that were occurring in the story wouldn't ever happen in HIVE. They were pretty sure of that.


The Next Day

They were all bored.

For some fandangled reason, the school principal decided to use up eighty minutes of school time to review the history of the school. Taia was blissful, as this covered up two subjects they were supposed to have in school. However, she hadn't anticipated the boring speech the old hag was going to give.

"….. Recently, our school had met a major issue under the governing of the former school principal. The funds had been gambled away, and we were all out of money. So our brother school had decided to break down the barrier between our all-girls school and their all-boys school to become an entire school, and support the Davis-Ascunsion School for Leading Women. After two months of negotiations, we finally received the permission to combine the schools, and become Thresh-Ascunsion Academy, in honor of our partner school, the Thresh Harris Private School for Boys."

Everyone knew that. Most of the people assembled were there when the school had gone on its decline.

"Instead of the usual 7-level arrangement of students according to age, Jason Gonzales, the president of Thresh, decided that students would have to take a general test, and would be arranged by intelligence, and not age. Smarter people were placed in league with others like them, no matter the age. Similar to the average people. Gonzales decided it would be better this way, and would allow students to freely be with their kind, without being reprimanded by other higher or lower people."

That was why Taia, Tammy and Mel were with Julie, despite being a year younger. They enjoyed each others company and intelligence.

The principal was about to say something else, when the recess bell rang. She had run out of time for her closing.

"At least after this, we have P.E." said Mel, shrugging. "Lucky for you." Tammy said, slumping forward onto the table. Saying that Mel enjoyed Physical Education was an understatement. She excelled in every single sport their school offered, mostly in martial arts. Luckily for her, that was the sport assigned to the seventh graders.

"Give me a cold room, hot chocolate and a laptop anytime. I'd rather have that than physical strain." Said Tammy miserably. She hated sports. Blegh. Ew.

"Just because you like computers, doesn't mean you have to be physically challenged." Mel offered, but Tammy glared at her. They tried convincing each other each day why their interest was better than the other. With mixed results.

"Hey, we have the food." Said Julie, holding up two sandwiches in one hand, and two doughnuts in the other. Taia was right behind her, holding four glasses of strawberry milk tea.

"Oh, and please don't tell me that you guys have started on your 'Mine's Better Than Yours' conversation."

"Actually we—"

"Woah-kay." Said Taia, automatically plugging two earphones in her ears. She did not like those conversations.

Tammy glared at her friend, though she immediately went back to her talk with Mel.

After thirty minutes of arguing, recess was over, and their class headed over to the Covered Court.

For some strange reason, the Covered Court had been named as such, even if all the courts in the school were covered by a roof. Obviously. Taia thought it was named that way since the floor they stood on actually covered the hundreds of dead bodies that had accumulated in the school, as it was once a hospital. That, or the dead bodies of soldiers during the war were buried there. Either way, she'd received a smack on the head by Julie.

"Line up, all of you!" said a voice from the end of the court. There, in all his mini-pants-glory, was the über sexy hunk they met on the way to school. What luck.

And so, to mostly sum up their PE period, many girls fainted. And guys too.


"That was tragic." Said Mel, as they left the bathroom after PE.

"The fact that only a quarter of the class was able to play sports since most of them fainted from sheer joy? I'd call them lucky. They didn't face Wing's wrath." Replied Tammy. Wing's teaching wasn't actually like wrath; it was just a much lessened version of it. According to Tammy.

"Aw, he's not that bad." Said Taia.

"Well, at least we have Computer next!" exclaimed Tammy, much to everyone's dismay. Taia, Julie and Mel especially, disliked the prospects of wires and microchips. Leave that to her bespectacled, mini-sized friend.

Once they entered the Computer room, what to their surprise (besides Taia's; she'd started to expect this), an older version of Laura was bent over a notebook-laptop. She had thin glasses on, and her tongue was trapped between her lips. Julie took the honor of rapping the teacher straight in the head.

"Geh— Oh, sorry about that!" she said very apologetically, as everyone got to their seats. "I'm Miss Laura Brand, and I will be you Computer teacher, as Sir Asis had to quit when he moved across the country to support his pregnant wife in his province."

A lot of the girls cheered; the man had been the biggest pervert in the entire school. The teachers wouldn't believe them, but there were eyewitness accounts of the man trying to peek into the swimming team's between-period clothes changing.

"And for the first period, I would like to know more about you all." She said with a smile. Each student had to go up, say their name, age, and something special about themselves.

Tammy stated brightly that she wanted to become a CEO of a computer company and get rich by creating a new line of advanced artificial intelligences that would aid humans in re-creating a world where the environment hasn't been damaged, or the intelligences would help her in her space adventure to create a new Earth by inserting algae into Venus and speeding up the creation process of that world. She said all that in one breath.

"And I like chocolate." She added, as she returned to her chair.

"As for me, I'm going to become a famous writer and change the face of the earth with my heart-wrenching, moving writing, and I'll use my legions of die-hard fans to do as I command and be my servants, on the pretense that they may stay in my mansion as they please." Julie said jokingly. "But I am serious about becoming a writer."

"I'm going to become the president of an elite academy called 'Galang ng Digmaan' and will teach the children of the world how to fight using all forms of offense and defense." Said Mel, force-kicking the hat off one of the students in front. She didn't even touch the hat.

"You're not supposed to wear hats in class." She said, handing the shell-shocked boy his hat.

As for Taia, she didn't say much of what she wanted.

"Eh, either I become a famous cook on TV, or I go into Broadway. Simple as that." She said, returning to her seat.

"All right then…" said Laura, and they continued with their work.


"Well that was dee-diddly fun!" said Taia. "We could do without the sarcasm." Tammy said, glaring at her. Laura had popped a quiz on them during Computer, and as the name suggested, Taia was not prepared at all. She said that she would fail miserably and never get into college, never get a job and have to be reduced to begging for food and ice cream on the streets.

Julie said she was just being too damn dramatic. Again.

"It could happen!" she replied, and there was a pause. They all laughed. Taia gave her usual crazy Woody Woodpecker-like laugh.

"That still freaks me out, you know." Said Mel.

"Eh, it's of opinion." Said Taia, as they trudged back to their bus. In truth, they could walk back to their dorms, if it weren't for the fact that it was a mile or two away, and they had very heavy bags. That's why the Bus Service thing came up. Students who lived fairly farther away were assigned to certain buses. Luckily enough, they were all in the same bus.

Their old school hadn't been very big, but Thresh had been. Very much. It was about five sizes bigger, and that counted the major roads in their old school. They needed cabs in Thresh back then, what more that Ascunsion had been added to their school grounds?

After a fair few minutes (they had a speed limit of 20 miles an hour), they got to Dorm 7. They separated from there; they lived on different floors in the dorm. The thing was, the schools weren't rich enough to separate the boys from the girls, so they lived together in the dorms. Obviously, parents had problems with this, so the school decided to set up cameras all over the place. The four of them thought that it was useless; they could have just separated the dorms and be done with. This mostly being from Taia, as she had…. complications with one of her batch and floor-mates.

"Hey fat-throat!" someone shouted, and Taia froze in annoyance. Some guy threw his arm around her, and 'choked' her. "HAHA you're so funny." She said sarcastically, and threw the arm off. She stalked off. He followed.

"Why do you even follow me? We hate each other, remember? Unless your memory's that horrible." She said. He froze this time in annoyance. Before he could retort, Taia started talking again.

"What? Forgot to wear undies again?" she said mockingly.

"That was in the fifth grade! And how'd you know? We were in different—"

"Facebook." She stated, and he sighed. "Of course." He muttered, and Taia grinned. She was close to her room.

"Well then, good bye Horatheo." She said, smirking, and ran off to her room. When she slammed her door closed, there was a large round of 'IT'S THEO!' from outside.

She slumped down onto her bed, and sighed. New teachers were not the only things on her list. Her enemy on the block was one. And her finals were another. Soon they would be going to high school, then to college, then to job-finding, then to retirement, then to—

BRRIIING.

Of course, her cell phone did not sound like that. But just to clarify… anyway, her cell phone rang.

"Yes?" she asked. There were a series of taps, and she grinned. She switched on her computer immediately and logged on to her chat.

There s/he was: the person who she had mysteriously met on a random chat site that used code names the Internet. She felt like being adventurous one day, and randomly said yes to an anonymous person on her chat. Soon enough, they'd become fast friends on the net. They had everything in common: they both liked anime, they liked school (to an extent), they had the same views on the corrupted world they lived in, and yes, they both loved acting.

So they'd become friends. Though they'd never actually met face to face or heard each other's voices, they'd trusted each other enough to share phone numbers. Every time they wanted to chat, they'd just call the other and use Morse code to tap 'Let's chat' on the phone. It had been a sort of silent agreement that they kept their identity quiet, but Taia had been careful enough to get three clues.

That person was a he.

They both studied in the same school.

They were both in 7th grade.

This had been substantial enough for her. Unless one of the 'Pops' (popular people) secretly loved anime, school, and hating the government to an extent, then Taia found it fairly easy to identify who the mystery person was. It didn't mean she was satisfied, though.

This was how their conversation went that day:

IbonTequilalala (1): Hey :)

NakitaNgMatsing (2): Hi :D

IbonTequilalala: What'cha doing?

NakitaNgMatsing: Talking to you, duh :))

IbonTequilalala: :P :)) Besides that. What were you doing before talking to me?

NakitaNgMatsing: Studying.

IbonTequilalala: Nerd :))

NakitaNgMatsing: I bet you were too.

IbonTequilalala: No, I was fighting off a herd of wildebeests.

NakitaNgMatsing: Horatheo?

IbonTequilalala: Yep.

NakitaNgMatsing: You really hate each other don't you?

IbonTequilalala: Yep. He's obnoxious, graceless, humorless, and ANNOYING D: :))

NakitaNgMatsing: :)) You told me that…. Ten times already.

IbonTequilalala: That's because it's true!

NakitaNgMatsing: =)) Well, to prevent you from further insulting him… I read this super cool book today! It's AWESOME.

IbonTequilalala: What be that, o young master?

NakitaNgMatsing: :)) I don't think you've heard of it, but it's called H.I.V.E.

Taia froze. If he'd read H.I.V.E., then…

IbonTequilalala: OH MAH GOLLEH :O THAT'S MY FAVORITE BOOK!!!!

NakitaNgMatsing: NO WAY!!! Awesome!!!!

IbonTequilalala: Until where did you read?!

NakitaNgMatsing: Third book, why?

IbonTequilalala: I have the first to the fourth! AWESOMENESS :O :D

NakitaNgMatsing: GASP. BORROW!

IbonTequilalala: I have to see you to let you borrow it D:

NakitaNgMatsing: I can send an envoy.

IbonTequilalala: That's be hard to arrange. And anyway, they have secret cameras which our parents watch. I'm not allowed to meet guys unless it's for school work D:

NakitaNgMatsing: What if the person's female?

IbonTequilalala: Well…. that could work :bd (3)

NakitaNgMatsing: I'll give you details and stuff tomorrow then :D Awesomeness, you like H.I.V.E. too…

IbonTequilalala: Okay, chat with you tomorrow :)

NakitaNgMatsing: Bye :D

You and NakitaNgMatsing have logged off.

Taia quietly freaked out, as her computer slowly turned off. He knew H.I.V.E.! That was amazing news!

She'd had enough excitement for one day. The new teachers, new curriculum, and newfound best friend tired her. She prepared to sleep, hopefully with good dreams.


Heh. Done! Oh, and let's not forget...

(1) This means "Bird Tequila(lala)"

(2) "The Monkey Saw..."

(3) For those who don't know, that was a thumbs up emoticon.
