Note:
This idea popped into my head on the school bus one day. I wondered what it would be like if all the kids in the World of Warcraft (WC) went to school (high school) with each other. Nothing short of chaos, right? Anyway, it follows the POV of an Alliance Dwarf child, who tells of his everyday experiences at school from facing bullies to passing tests. Still, this is a very strong fuse of WC material and modern material, also the classes are entirely made up shrugs. I'll probably go about using characters that already exist in WC too. So don't flame, because they don't call this "fanfiction" for nothing, k :-PI put the rating as humor/general, mostly because this is intended humor, but also because I have 0 experience with humor fics. ;-) Enjoy.

Day 1
I guess I should start this out with my name, Filgrim Goldhand. My people have sided with the Alliance, but I really don't see the reason in doing so, being that all the Elfs, Humans, and MY people (the Dwarves) have to interact with Horde members everyday (I wonder if they're thinking the same thing...)
Anyway, I guess I should explain how the first day of school went. It was tragedy, as usual. I had way too much fun this summer to go to some crummy building with other people and learn stuff I don't even want to know. But anyway, here's what my schedule looks like: first period I have writing skills with...what was her name?...Oh yeah, Ms. Farthingwood. I think she's a Night Elf. My intestines nearly exploded when I realized I had to take that class! It's like a journalism, only you don't take pictures or do anything fun. Ugh!
Second period is Mathematics, which I don't hate as much as my first class. It's with Mr. Glause. Now that I think about it, I guess it makes sense that the most reasonable teacher for that class would be a Goblin.
Well after those two classes we have a little thing I like to call recess. Boy, as much as I like the freedom, you'd think you were at a zoo! Mom gave me a few coins to buy lunch and maybe a snack with, but the lines took forever to budge! And the Humans and Orcs kept jostling and nudging each other and letting their friends cut in front of them, which made even MORE fighting! And...wouldn't you believe it? One Orc boy shoved a Human boy to the ground, so the kid slid the Orc off his feet and they started a fight right in the snack line. Heh, I can't imagine how angry their parents must have been when they realized their kid got into a fight on the first day. So basically, you can see why the first day was such a wreck. I decided to just go hungry and wait until lunch. Heck, lunch wasn't much better, but I'll get to that later.
After recess I have a class that's something like carpentry, which is probably my favorite class. I think it's called stone works or whatever, with Mr. Ironhandle. He's a Dwarf, thankfully, and there aren't that many people in that class. Heck, that suites me just fine. It's mostly only Dwarves in that class anyway, considering not many other people would want to work with stone. The first day though, all we did was get some lousy papers for our parents to sign. I honestly can't understand why these crazy teachers don't just foreword these straight to our parents!
Titans, give us strength. If what you've read so far seems like a day in hell, guess again. After stone works is phys ed. with...(can't remember names on the first day) Mr.Dreskar, who's an Orc. Again, all we did was receive some papers, but after that he made us all work in the weight room and run the track for the rest of the bloody period. I'm telling you, there are a TON of people in that class. I think there are at least three High Elves, but there are also Orcs, some Dwarves, and Humans. I'll tell you one thing, I don't know what this school is thinking putting Humans and Orcs in the same classes with each other. Seriously, the Orcs mopped the floor with the Human teenagers in the weight room, but I was kinda surprised when the Humans mopped the floor with the Orcs running track. I didn't run who whole way 1. because I didn't feel like it and 2. because I was getting dang tired. Thankfully, Mr. Dreskar didn't bust my butt for slacking. After all, it WAS the first day. He seems like a nice guy, but he does expect his students to work hard.
After Phys ed. is lunch. Like I said, I planned on buying something to eat in the lunch line, cause by then I was starving for something to eat and doing P.E. on top of that...But I went hungry again. No, I didn't chicken out as you probably thought I did, like during recess. I ACTUALLY WAITED in the line for the ENTIRE lunch period! But by the time there were two more people in front of me, the bell rang and the lunch line was closed! I got so upset that I kicked at a lunch table and hurt my foot. Hey, why not? On top of everything else...
Next period, which is magical studies with Ms. Forsyth, the Human, I started daydreaming about how bad my day had been so far. I didn't realize she was passing out papers, because when she came to me, I almost got in trouble for not paying attention. Heck, the paper tells you ALL about class procedures. Why do you have to listen to the teacher to get it all through your head? You can guess as well as I can that it was a class for Mages. There were mostly Humans and Elves in that class. I was surprised to find a Troll, but I was under the impression that she felt like the black sheep in the class, due to the fact that she was the only Horde faction there; go figure. I don't have any differing opinions on Trolls, but I thought it was kinda rude when some of the Elf teenagers poked fun at her.
There WAS a Human girl who, basically, told them to back off (I won't give any details.) I did a double-take when I realized that it was Jaina Proudmoore, Admiral Daelin Proudmoore's daughter, who stood up for the Troll girl. I didn't know Jaina went to my school. Magical studies is the only class I have with her.
Anyway that class, like all the others, was one big bore. Last period (and then sweet freedom from there!) is world history, with Mr. Trism Soundbearer, another Orc. I wondered for quite a while why I had two Orcish teachers, but then it made sense. I think I learned sometime in middle school that Orcs rely on oral story-telling to pass down knowledge from generations to generations. And Titans, did THIS guy TALK. I was beginning to think we weren't gonna have any papers to give to our parents, but he did at the end of class. Figures.
All I can say is that I hope tomorrow will be a TRIFLE more interesting than today, though I can't say I mean the same for Mr. Dreskar, but oh well. I don't think I'll change classes for his; it can't be that bad.
If there's one beam of light that could shine down on today, it's after school. Alliance members take a different bus than the Horde members. I immediately took the first empty seat near the front of the bus when I got on. Oh, I also saw Thrall walking to his bus! Imagine that. I've seen Jaina and Thrall here so far, all I need is Tyrande Whisperwind and Cairn Bloodhoof, heh. Come to think of it I haven't seen any Tauren at our schools. Weird enough we have Troll students, I guess.
When I got home from school, I showed Mom all the papers she had to sign. She asked me how my first day went. "Fine," I said.
It felt like lifting a dozen rocks from my shoulders when I got home. I was more tired than I thought, and you can bet your beard I wasn't looking foreword to tomorrow. Well, I gotta go. Mr. Glause is the only teacher who assigned us homework.
Note:
K, I know it wasn't much, but that's pretty much what you would expect on the first day, right? I think I'm going to do chapters by days, unless for some reason Filgrim's entry is real short. I hope it wasn't TOO bad!
