"Good morning class! We have a new student joining us today," announced.
Stepping aside, he revealed a petite girl with a large stuffed bear. She looked completely normal aside from her mint green hair. The girl peeked up shyly.
"Please introduce yourself."
She shook her head and whispered something to him. He nodded in understanding.
"Ah, I see. Class, this is Bonnie Shay. Bonnie, why don't you sit next to Draculaura?"
The vampires raised her hand and Bonnie obeyed. She buried her face in the bear silently.
"Hi, my name is Draculaura, but you can call me Lala."
"I-I'm Bonnie,"she near whispered, her voice like that of a child.
"Your bear is fangtastic."
"Thank you, his name is Gar. He's my best friend."
"That's so adorable!"
She resisted the urge to hug the girl silly. A cleaver flew at them, but someone caught it neatly. Lala looked around to see who and came up empty. Her new friend was staring at her bear distastefully.
"Naughty Gar, you know better."
"Is everything okay?"
"Uh-uh huh…"
Giggling, Draculaura decided to pay attention to what the teacher was saying. He was giving a speech about the importance of yellow newt tail as opposed to red newt tail. It all seemed barbaric to the vegan vampire. She glanced back at her desk mate to find that she was writing vigorously in a notebook. The language was not one she had ever seen before. It seemed to say:
Mamchara,
Mamchara, rinnemécaralá atá inniu ann. IsDraculauraa hainm agustásí i ndáiríredeas. GardeirDia duit. Inisdaidíbreá liom é, agus a chailleanntú go léirgo mór.
Grá, Bonnie
She noticed her name among the words on the page. Cautiously, she tapped on her shoulder.
"Not trying to be nosy, but what language is that?"
"It's Irish. My family is in Ireland."
"Wow, that's really far away…"
"Yeah, I miss them a lot. But Gar helps keep me from feeling lonely."
Lala smiled, about to ask if she wanted to hang out, but the bell rang. Bonnie fled before she could speak. That was the last period of the day, so she found her friends and told them about the new girl. They were eager to help her locate their potential new friend. Surprisingly, she was talking to Twyla. The boogeygirl was actually laughing for once!
As they approached, Twyla waved shyly and started to fade into the shadows. The other girl turned around in confusion.
"Oh, hello Draculara."
"Hi Bonnie! These are my friends Frankie, Clawdeen, Cleo, and Robecca."
"Hello…"
She held the bear closer to her body and blushed. Draculaura couldn't help scooping her up into a hug. A soft squeak emitted from her lips. Saying goodbye to Twyla, she followed the other girls outside. They asked her many questions as they walked.
"Where are you from?"
"Do you have any powers?"
"What are your parents?"
"What's with the bear?"
Bonnie mumbled a reply, but nobody could understand besides Clawdeen, who nodded in sympathy.
"You girls are freakin' her out with all the questions."
"Oh, I'm sorry Bonnie," Frankie grimaced.
"I-it's okay. I'm from Ireland and my dad is a banshee. That's why I can't speak up. Gar is my best friend and he protects me from bullies."
"Well isn't that cute. Her teddy bear protects her!"
"Cleo, don't be mean."
"I'm not; I just find it unrealistic that a teddy bear could possibly protect anyone from harm!"
Bonnie's eyes narrowed and she stormed off. All eyes were on Cleo, who remained remorseless. Draculaura ran after her friend to make sure she was okay. By the time she caught up, she had been cornered by Toralei and her followers. They were closing in quickly.
"Aww, if it isn't the new baby and her teddy bear. How sweet."
"P-please, just leave me alone."
"Oh, this is just purr-fect. Don't worry sweetie, we'll make this quick."
The cat-girl sneered and lunged at the stuffed animal. She missed, fortunately, but prepared to pounce again. Covering the bear's ears, Bonnie planted her feet.
"Don't. Touch. My. GAAAAAAARRRRRRR!"
She released an ear-splitting wail that brought the girls to their knees. Every window on campus shattered and ever wolf howled in agony. It ended after a full minute when she collapsed on the ground. Toralei fled with her gang fearfully. Draculaura moved toward the girl, but Twyla was there first. Together they carried the unconscious banshee, bear and all, to the infearmary. The nurse declared that she just needed to rest.
"Oh, thank goodness. Why are those ghouls so mean?"
"Because she's different. It's sad that, even in a school of monsters rejected by normie society, there is still such intolerance."
Lala stared at the boogeygirl in amazement. That was the first time she had heard her speak more than a few words. Her huge eyes glittered in anger. Their friend stirred and gripped her bear closer. She looked around in confusion.
"Wh-where am I?"
"You're in the infearmary. You fainted."
"I did? I'm sorry, all I remember is that awful cat trying to steal Gar."
"Speaking of Gar, I was wondering why you went totally batty when that happened. I know he's special but…"
Sighing, the smaller girl got up off the bed she was on and motioned for them to follow. Her friends obeyed, not questioning her. They walked until they reached a dorm room. Bonnie plucked a key from her pocket and opened the door. The window in her room was surprisingly undamaged.
"Plastic," she shrugged calmly at their expressions, "Now, what I am about to show you is a secret and you cannot tell anybody, okay?"
The girls nodded and she took a deep breath.
"Gar, it's okay now. You may move."
The watched for a minute as the bear did nothing. Then, as if by magic, he stood and faced them.
"Finally, I thought I would have to wait all day," it said with an Irish accent.
"Oh. My. Goth."
Sorry if it was stupid. I just got this idea one day while watching the movies. Should I leave it as a oneshot? Please R&R.
