As she bicycled down the street, wind blowing in her short hair, Clara hoped she wouldn't look too stupid on her first day of school. She had moved to Salem, Oregon from Salem, Massachusetts. Her mom had got a new job, and the family had to move here. Luckily, there was a school nearby. Its name was Monster High. It was a school for both monsters AND humans.
She walked into school wearing her Harley Quinn inspired dress, and hoped that nobody would stare. She was wrong. Everyone was laughing and pointing. It was somewhat good, because she was a clown. Almost literally. She walked towards the gym, in the hope of getting some acrobatics done. While there, she met a girl. Well, a monster girl. And her name was Hissette Gorgon.
Clara entered the gym, and saw a girl watching the basketball players. Clara saw her opportunity to make a new friend. She back-flipped up the bleachers, sat down next to the girl, and said, "Hi."
This monster had green hair and caramel-colored skin. She wore sunglasses and a green t-shirt that said HISS. She also had a snake tattoo on her right arm. The monster girl looked up, but she didn't take off her sunglasses. "Hey," she said back, "So you're the new girl?"
"Yeah."
"So. Monster or normie?"
Clara didn't know how to answer that question. "What's a normie?" she asked. The girl answered, "Duh. Normies are people who aren't monsters. So I ask again, monster or normie?" Clara didn't want to answer this question honestly. She didn't want the girl to know that she was a normie. Both her parents AND her brother were monsters. So, she said the lie that she's practiced for weeks.
"Yeah, I'm a monster. Me and my family are a weird kind of monster. We were created by the fears of normies, and such." That part was true, just not for Clara. "My name is Clara Phobia." Also true. "And I just so happened to be the fear of clowns. But I am SUCH an entertainer!" Then she did a little trick where she made cards fly everywhere. she may not be a monster, but she can do magic.
The girl laughed. "You're funny! Well, since I know your name, you should know mine. I'm Hissette Gorgon. My mother is Medusa, but I don't have snakes for hair. My brother does, however. His name is Deuce. He's on the basketball team." She looked and saw him. The boy with the snakes for hair and the red sunglasses. The bell for first class rang, and they had to go their separate ways.
That went better than expected, thought Clara. As she hurried down the hall to Math class, smiled at the thought of her first new friend. I wonder who else I'll make friends with today…
Me: This chapter was mainly for the introduction of 2 new characters (made by me). The REAL drama doesn't start till chapter 4. But don't skip ahead. You'll get confuzzled. Feel free to submit any ocs! I'll accept monsters and normies! Ta-ta for now!
Clara: No, NOT ta-ta for now! You weren't supposed to say I was a normie until AT LEAST chapter 6!
Me: Oh well! What's done is done! So, FOR REAL THIS TIME, ta-ta for now!
