Hi guys! This is my first Portal fan fiction and I'm really nervous on how the public will like it. This is basically a prologue to Portal and Portal 2. Please give me reviews… and I'm not sure if I'm off Wheatley's character, so please tell me that too.
DISCLAIMER:
I don't own Portal, Valve does. The end. End of story.
Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring.
Chell walked down the hall towards passing, everyone staring at the new girl. She clutched her books to her chest and started walking to her locker, which was rusty and old. She got the worst of the worst, being one of the last students to register here.
Chell was actually a genius, part of the Advanced Academic Program in this school. Everyone wasn't just staring at her because she was new; it was because she was different.
"Thank gosh, lunch." She muttered as she grabbed a brown paper sack.
As she entered the lunchroom, she looked for a table to sit at. She browsed the area seeing if there was an empty table, she wanted to eat alone. She then saw a scraggly blond haired, awkwardly tall, boy sitting at a table by himself.
No. You're going to eat alone.
She continued to walk to an unoccupied table, but her heart was pulling onto her.
Come on, he's lonely. He looks really sad, go sit by him. You can make a friend for once.
Listening to her mind, she walked over to the table where the boy was sitting. She tapped his shoulder and smiled.
"Hi… may I sit here?" she shyly said.
The boy looked shocked. "Y-you… you want to uh… well… sure!" He said with a smile. Chell then sat down next to the boy.
"I'm Michelle Johnson. Chell for short, I just started school today." Chell exclaimed. She took a bite of her sandwich.
"I'm… Wheatley. Wheatley Moore. I-I er… like your name… it's really pretty, and it suits you and…" Wheatley kept rambling on for a couple minutes.
"Sorry, I shouldn't be um… talking a lot. Tell me, what classes are you in?" Wheatley said, trying to keep the conversation together.
Chell sighed, and rolled her eyes. "I'm in the stupid genius program; I honestly think it's too easy. I'd rather just go onto college already." Chell really did hate being a genius.
"H-hey! I'm in the genius program too! But… you think it's easy?" He hesitates for a moment. "Psh, yeah, totally easy."
Chell briefly smiled, and looked at him for a moment. She instantly felt her cheeks turning red, and she said without thinking, "Would you like to come over to my parent's work today?" She was shocked once she said it.
"Really? Uh… I t-think I could… y'know. If you wanted to…" Wheatley shyly smiled and nodded.
"Meet me after school, by the bike rack." Chell explained. "We'll walk from there. "
Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring.
Chell got up and started walking to her next class.
"I-I can't believe it, my first American friend!"
"I can't believe he said yes!"
