High School isn't Easy
A/N I was watching Shrek 3 and the Worchester part gave me some ideas especially Shrek's comment about his palms being sweaty because it's a high school. It made me imagine what it was like for him as well as Snowgre when they were in high school. Snowgre is Shrek's cousin. But somebody they didn't expect becomes their friend.
It was six in the morning and Shrek got up.
He lived in a cave he'd found in the forest near a village called Duloc.
He was fifteen years old.
He was starting at a new high school in Far, Far Away because he'd been kicked out of the one in Duloc because the faculty and students didn't accept him.
He was very smart for an ogre teen.
He felt sick as he ate breakfast.
He then got dressed in a white tunic with a brown alligator vest and belt, tartan trousers and brown shoes.
There was worry in his hazel eyes at this.
"I hope I can fit in at this school.
Maybe….. other kids would accept me." He thought leaving.
"Oh man the first day is such a drag!" Snowgre complained as he arrived at Far, Far Away High.
He was an ogre and fifteen.
He had snow white fur, artic blue skin, slender and had emerald green eyes.
He was Shrek's cousin.
He saw other kids look at him as they entered the school building.
"Might as well get this over with." he thought with his back pack over his shoulder.
"Check iy out!
An ogre kid.
Maybe this year won't be so boring after all." some kids said as he put stuff in his locker.
He then saw some girls giggle at him as they went to class.
"Wow that's odd.
Normally girls don't talk to me and jocks beat me up.
Something's going on.
Maybe it's a prank." he told himself as he walked to class but saw a jock block his way.
It was the jousting team captain.
"You think you're the ladies man huh freak?
You're nothing but a joke.
Why bother coming here?" he said beating him but heard somebody shout.
Snowgre gasped.
"W-What's he doing here?
I thought he was in Duloc High." he thought as an ogre kid punched him in the face.
"Great!
Another ogre freak.
Go terrorize a village losers." the jock replied kicking Shrek in the chest.
Snowgre growled at that as he bent down beside his cousin.
"It's okay Snowg, he didn't mean it." Shrek said nearly crying.
"No it's not right.
I'll take care of him, I promise." Snowgre replied as the jock blocked his way again.
"If you think you're so tough, meet me at the jousting field later.
We'll settle things there.
Unless you're chicken?" he told him.
"I'll be there loser.
You can count on it." Snowgre replied defiant.
Shrek looked nervous seeing Snowgre fired up.
"Umm.... h-hi." a voice said as they turned around.
The voice belonged to a boy with brown hair, green eyes like Snowgre's and slender.
He wore an odd jersey.
It was brown with three golden lions on the back.
"Who're you?
Are you new too?
I'm Snowgre.
This is my cousin Shrek.
It's sort of our first day." Snowgre told him.
"It's my first day here too.
I transferred from a far off school called Worchester Academy.
That jock reminded me..... of somebody who used to pick on me a lot.
Meet me in the lunch room.
I wanna help." the boy told them.
"Sure!
We'll be there." Snowgre replied as they went to class.
Both Shrek and Snowgre wondered who that kid was but couldn't wait to find out more....
