I do not own nor do I claim to own Static Shock or any of the characters. HOWEVER, I do claim to own Melina, Francis' sister.
Chapter 1: New Kid in School
The bell rang for school to start. Virgil, still doing his crime stopping crusades against The Breed and any other Bang Babies causing problems, was pretty tired from lack of sleep the night before.
"Dude, you have to manage your time better. At this rate, you'll fall asleep in class all the time, and flunk everything from not doing your homework." Richie said.
"It's not fair, Rich, how can you go out on patrol as Gear, still get the homework done, and still get enough sleep?" Virgil asked.
"The brains, V, the brains." Richie laughed.
"Very funny, Rich." Virgil said, "But I will definitely be falling asleep in Algebra. It's the easiest class I have." he said.
"Yeah, good idea, dude." Richie said as they walked together to their first period class, which they had together.
"Class, we have a new student with us today." the teacher said, "Please welcome Miss Melina Meyers."
Virgil looked up to see the new girl. Athletic body. Long Auburn hair. Soft green eyes. Virgil smiled to himself. She was simply beautiful.
"Miss Meyers, please, take a seat there next to Virgil Hawkins." the teacher said.
Virgil watched Melina look around and he motioned with his hands, showing that he was whom the teacher had mentioned.
Melina smiled a bit, seeing him, she walked quietly to the seat and set her things down on the desktop.
"Well, Melina, I do not know what you were studying at your old school, but you came here just in time for we are starting our studies on William Shakespeare." the teacher said.
*************************
When the bell rang for the period to be over, students rushed out of the classroom as usual, but Virgil stayed there, looking at Melina as she got her things together, "I'm Virgil Hawkins." he said.
"Well, considering I was told to sit next to you, I figured you were him." Melina said with a light chuckle, "Nice to meet you Virgil."
Virgil smiled a bit as she rose to her feet. Richie cleared his throat, "V, you going to introduce me?"
"What? Oh! Melina, this is Richie." Virgil said.
Melina smiled at Richie, "Nice to meet you." she said. She looked at her schedule and sighed.
"Where are you off to next?" Virgil asked, "Maybe I can help you find your way."
"Really? That would be great." Melina said, handing him her schedule.
"Oh! It's Algebra! That's my next class, I'll show you." Virgil said, walking with Richie and Melina out of the English class and throw the hallways.
