A brand new school. This was overwhelming for poor Jacklynn. She walked down the halls and was paying more attention to the lockers and not where she was walking. "I'm sorry!" She said as she bumped into someone. "Frankie? You go to school here?" Of course. With Jacklynn's luck, she would bump into the one person she knew. Frankie stood at about the same height and had black and white hair. The bangs were always pinned back. Frankie's blue paid dress came to slightly above her knees. The one thing Jacklynn was jealous of was Frankie's eyes. One was a light blue and the other a light green… some days it seemed as green as her skin.
"You really don't pay attention at family reunions, do you?" Jacklynn shook her head. "I don't blame you."
"Frankie, you've got to help me. It's my first day and-"
"You need a group to hang out with until you find a group you hang out with." Frankie gave a slight smile at her cousin before saying, "Clawdeen and Draculaura won't mind. Follow me." Jacklynn followed Frankie all the way the Creepateria. They sat a table with two girls around their age… kind of. Clawdeen was obviously a werewolf. She had a pretty good sense of fashion. She was wearing a sparkly pink zebra shirt with a light purple jacket over it. Her skirt went to above her knee. Her hair seemed to be something out of a shampoo commercial. Draculaura… it seemed simple. She seemed shorter than Frankie and Clawdeen. Her hair was black with pink streaks and tied back into two giant pigtails. She was wearing a long sleeved pink old styled Victorian typed shirt. Her skirt was short, but, it was paired with a great pair of leggings.
Jacklynn felt like a sore thumb. She was wearing a low cut black pinstripe dress, with a tight white blouse underneath. She wore bright orange fishnet stockings underneath. She also wore a black choker with an orange emblem that her mother gave to her. Her black eyes darted to Frankie and back to the table.
"Frankie, are you going to introduce us?" Draculaura asked. She obviously had an accent.
"Ghouls, this is my cousin Jacklynn. She just transferred in." This was the moment of truth.
"Jacklynn Stein?"
"Jacklynn Skellington, actually. I'm her cousin on her mother's side." Jacklynn said. It seemed weird to watch her talk because her mouth was nothing but stitches. It looked like Clawdeen got a look on her face like she was confused. "My dad is Jack-"
"From Halloweentown? That's your dad?" Draculaura exclaimed. Jacklynn nodded. She sat down and it seems that Draculaura knew who her father was. Everything just seemed to go by with a blur. Before Jacklynn knew it, lunch was over.
"Jacklynn, what do you have for seventh?" She looked at her schedule.
"It's a free period. I don't have a class then."
"Come join me in Study Howl. You'll be able to meet more people." Jacklynn gave her cousin a strange look before heading off to her next class: Drama. Jacklynn was always in the plays in Halloweentown and she would join the class. She walked in and saw a familiar face from lunch. It was Draculaura.
"Jacklynn! Sit next to me." Draculaura exclaimed. It made Jacklynn feel nice to already have a friend. Once Jacklynn sat down, Draculaura began telling her who was in the class. "Over there," she said " is one of the meanest ghouls you will ever meet. Her name is Torelai. She used to being on the Fearleading Squad. She quit because Cleo was been demanding. She had her friends have never liked us ever since." Draculaura helped Jacklynn a lot during class. Drama passed by. It was on to A.P. Clwaculus. It seemed that neither her cousin or her friends were in the class. She took a seat next to a jock looking werewolf. Jacklynn glanced at him, but quickly turned away. Even though her father was a showman, she was always shy when it came to boys.
"You're new, right?" Jacklynn nodded. " I'm Clawd. What's your name?"
"My name is Jacklynn. I just moved from Halloweentown. It's weird being the new kid." She replied back.
"I hope that you're making new friends here at Monster High. It's never easy being in a new place." The bell then rung for class the start. This seemed to be the longest class the day other than A.P. Monster Lit. "What do you have next?"
"Study Howl. You?" He smiled before answering her.
"I'll walk you there." The two walked to Study Howl, talking the whole time.
This looked like the start of a beautiful friendship.
