Randy Cunningham walked down the hall of Norrisville high. He rubbed his arm as the gauze covering it scratched it. One of Viceroy's stupid robots had gotten him in the arm when he turned away. Howard had been the one who patched him up, anyone else would've asked questions. This was the reason that Howard wasn't in school, he found the sight of Randy with a gash in his arm sickening and wasn't able to come to school because he was sick. Since it was the first day of school it was baking outside, so Randy couldn't wear his hoodie. So that meant that the bandages were in plain sight for everyone to see. He could just see Bash coming up and hitting him there for extra pain. "Hey Randy!" someone yelled behind him. He turned and saw two people he didn't expect to see. Theresa, his long time crush, and Debby, Howard's girlfriend. How that idiot managed to get one is beyond Randy. "Hey guys." Randy said smiling, he leaned against the wall as the two began to ask him questions.
"So Randy, how was your summer?" Theresa asked him, he smiled at her.
"It was pretty good. Nothing eventful really happened.
Debby smirked at him, "Then what's with the bandages? Are you doing it for attention?"
Randy knew she was half joking, so he chuckled and said, "Nah, I just fell in the woods and got cut." Debby shook her head at him muttering something about being clumsy before realising that the two of them had to get to class. Randy waved as the two of them left, as he did so he saw cartoon hearts come from Theresa with a green circle going around her. "Shut it nomicon." He grumbled going to his first class. He had Mrs. Driscoll for science again and was not excited about seeing her flirt with her husband's skeleton. It was just creepy and Randy wanted a relatively peaceful day, no monster attacks, no robots and certainly no creepy skeleton flirting.
Randy sighed and made his way to her class. When he entered, he saw his and Howard's spot from the two years before were still empty so he sat down and waited for the boring day to begin.
The final bell rang signaling that school was finally over. Randy stretched and cracked his back. Surprisingly, not all of his classes were boring, so he didn't end up falling asleep in all of them. He made his way to his locker, checking the paper for the fifth time for his locker combo. He finally made it and opened the thing. He had placed what he didn't need and was about to close his bag when he felt someone push him. He stumbled away from his locker to see a smirking Bash Johnson, the school's main bully. "Well, what have we here? A shoob that's hurt and I didn't do it. I think you need to be punished." He then proceeded to punch Randy in his hurt arm. Him and his cronies then laughed and walked off to go pick on one of the new freshman. Randy yelped as he moved his arm. He could feel it reopening slightly as he did. He grabbed his bag with his other arm and slung it on his shoulder. He sulked off grimacing as his arm throbbed. Randy walked outside and he saw Julian and Theresa talking outside of school. As he walked past them Julian waved him over. "Randal, will you be joining monster klub this year?"
"Is anyone not going to join this year?" Randy asks him. Julian looks thoughtful for a minute and then answers.
"I believe everyone is joining us."
"Sure, I guess I will. I'll ask Howard when I see him." Randy then begins to walk off, he looks from side to side as he's walking. Just waiting for something to attack.
