"One down, two to go.."Mumbling to herself Kat makes a run for the front door. Then out of nowhere a sorta high-pitched voice speaks counting down. Raising an eyebrow Kat looks around wide-eyed to see Stinkie pulling back on Stretch. Apparently the two had plotted to use Stretch like a sling shot to get the fleshie girl. Kat scrambled to open the door, as she opened it the doorbell rang and there was a man standing there. Of course the two attacking ghosts didn't see this, they only saw Kat. Stinkie lets go of Stretch sending him hurdling towards Kat with what would appear to be a thing of pudding.
"Hehehe, Look out Kitty Kat!" Stretches voice rings out as he comes flying.
"Look out!"Kat cries managing to get out of the way, unfortunately the pudding still manages to get all over the man standing there at the front door. As soon as Stinkie sees that it hit someone else and not Kat he disappears, The same as Stretch had done. Not but a minute later Dr.Harvey finally comes walking out from the side hall to see who was there.
"Kat who's at the...door..."Dr.Harvey looked the poor man over and adjusted his glasses, he knew this wasn't going to go well.
"Uhm, some guy who's here to see you..I'm guessing. I uh, heh, I've gotta get to school now..See ya.." Kat gave a nervous smile to her father and took off. The man was here to talk about the manor, the bills and possibly tearing it down.
"We've some of the kids from down the street over. They like to play with Kat before school starts.They probably just went to get thier stuff." Dr.Harvey gave off a fake smile, knowing that wasn't the best lie ever.
Meanwhile Kat continues her walk towards School. Casper comes floating up beside her in his invisible mode. "Whoa, that was pretty close back there huh?" Casper smiles lightly giving a little laugh.
"Yeah, and right into the face of dad's important visitor. This isn't going to end well." Sighing softly Kat heads into the school and down the hall. The sound of shouting rings out through the halls as well as the sound of running feet.
"YOUR GONNA GET IT SCRUB!" An angered voice screams out loudly, sounding close. A Blonde hair girl with oranges streaks comes running right towards Kat and Casper. Her oufit is a navy blue t-shirt with a red spot in the middle of it, an orange under shirt, red shades, black shoes and black pants with red stripes. Quickly she shoves past Kat, running right through Casper to hide in a class room. The boys luckily run past the room she had hid in.
"I wonder if she's alright" Casper says looking towards Kat.
Kat does begin to walk towards the classroom the girl hid in but as if by some bad luck, the bell rings. "Can't class is starting now.." Kat groans lightly as she walks to her class and takes a seat.
"Open your math books up to page 309, I want you to do questions 1-60, Odds only." Mr.Thompson orders to the class as he walks in setting his things down on his desk. "I've graded your tests and needless to say, more than half of you were goofing off before it. That or you weren't paying very much attention to my instructions." The teacher gives a stern and annoyed look to the class. Half of which do groan and gripe, knowing they'll be getting in trouble.
"Also today we have a new student, Would Melle Crittenden please come to the front of the class?" Mr.Thompson smiles at first looking around for her. As soon as the teacher says 'Crittenden' Kats eyes grow huge. Could she be related to Carrigan? Kat couldn't help but wonder. "Melle...? Please come forth..?" He asks again starting to get impatient and irritated. Suddenly as if on cue, Melle comes falling in through the door.The sound of laughter from some boys running away down the hall could also be heard. At this point the kids in the class are already laughing at her as well. "How nice of you to drop in, Melle, I'm guessing?" The teacher says as he peeks over the top of his glasses.
Melle grumbles as the class erupts into laughter even more at the 'drop in' joke. "Yes.." She nods having stood up gathering her things from the ground feeling more humiliated. The teacher chuckles a little at his own joke sitting down in his seat, taking a sip of his coffee he had also brought it.
"So Melle, tell us about yourself please." Mr.Thompson looks at her, crossing his legs as he gets comfortable.
"There's not much to tell.. I uh, live a few blocks away.." Shrugging Melle starts feeling antsy.
Especially when some girl comments, "Yeah? Like where, the Dump on Baker street?" The class breaking into laughter once more.
"Huh, that's funny I thought I heard the teacher ask me to tell about where I live. Not you to explain yours." Melle smirks smugly, folding her arms over her chest.
"Hey, hey both of you..." The teacher warns, motioning to Melle to take a seat.
Meanwhile back at the Manor, Dr.Harvey is still dealing with the visitor from earlier. "Look Dr.Harvey, I'm sorry but if you can't keep up the bills for this place we'll have to take it. Also if you don't get this pigsty cleaned up soon, the health department will be contacted and we'll have to tear this thing down anyways. It's an endangerment to everyones health in the area! I mean what sort of place are you keeping here, throwing pudding at your guests? Is that how you treat all of your guests Doc?" The Man badgers him taking a drink of his coffee, pudding stains can be seen on his shirt and even on his face a little.
"No no Mr.Alvers, I assure you, that is not how we usually treat guests around here." Dr.Harvey's eyebrows raised a little as he spoke, placing a hand behind his head he lightly rubs it. Setting the coffee cup down Alvers smirks and pulls out some papers from his briefcase.
"Let's get to signing some papers shall we Dr.Harvey?"Alvers says smugly, setting them onto the table. Dr.Harvey's eyes narrow curiously at the papers, slightly squinting to read the printing.Alvers brings out a pen, setting it on the paper, causing Dr.Harvey to stop reading it.
"Basically Dr.Harvey, It says that if you can't pay what is owed by the end of this month, this place is history. Also your agreeing to a Health inspection." Smugly theAlvers folds his arms over his chest. Then suddenly out of nowhere Alvers cup is forcefully pushed over by what would appear to be 'nothing'! The Coffee quickly pours out over the papers and even intohis lap.
"THE HELL!" Alvers eyes go wide and then narrow as he worriedly tries to get the coffee off the papers and him. Dr.Harvey quickly grabs up some napkins attempting to help the man clean the mess.
However, some mischief makers have other plans. Suddenly the chair that Alvers had been sitting in floats up sweeping him off his feet. "And We Have Lift Off!" Stretchs voice rings out as Alvers and the chair go flying out of the room. The man clings to his chair for dear life screaming his lungs off as they head to the door. Once they're at the door The Trio with a swift and heavy thrust of the chair, send the man flying off of it and down into the dirt.
"Have a nice Fright!" Stretch tries to cleverly pun on 'Flight'.
When the man gets up he's furious, dusting himself off."THIS ISN'T OVER YET HARVEY!"Alvers yells out angrily. All of a sudden his briefcase comes flying out from the house, hitting him square in the face.
"And Don't forget your luggage!" Stinkies voice echoes out, loud laughter being heard as soon as the briefcase hits. Kicking up papers that'd fallen out, Alvers finally turns and retreats both frustrated and frightened.
Back at school trouble's already started brewing up again. Let's face it math isn't Melle's best subject, especially when it's fractions. So to add insult to irritation one of the girls threw a paper ball at her. As the paper ball bounces off her head Melles eyes begin to narrow. Kat, who Melle had chosen to sit by, looks up raising an eyebrow. The four obnoxious girls who threw the paper ball all just laugh and giggle softly. Giving them a dirty look Kat decides to stand up for Melle.
"Why don't you grow up!" Kat snaps at them quietly as to not raise attention.
"Why don't you mind your own business?" The dark brown haired girl snaps right back, though her voice has seemed to raise a little. At this point Melle is watching and listening to them both. She'd never had someone stick up for her before so this was a new one. While it was nice Melle felt it was time to finally speak up herself.
"Better question, why don't you do us all a favor and just shut up." Melle growled out slightly as she spoke. Now everyone had started taking notice.
"Oh Scrubby wants in on it huh? Well fine, here's a little question for you. Why don't you use soap and water sometime? Save all our noses from running." The black haired snotty girl who had been sitting there finally spoke out.
"Interesting idea but, how about using some more make-up. The three pounds you've already put on does nothing to hide that ugly face." A huge grin appearing on both Kat and Melles face.
Finally the Mr. Thompson decides to butt in on the little feud. "That is enough, do I need to send the both of you to the office to work this out?" His eyes were stern as he was clearly no longer amused. All of the girls shook their heads saying "no". "Then get back to work" He spoke as his eyes went back to the papers he'd been checking.
Of course this peacefulness didn't last very long. The snotty girls decide to get even with Melle for raising all of that attention. The one with the brown hair takes aim with a straw that readied a spitball. The girl had borrowed them from her friends juice she'd had in her backpack. With a quick inhalation the brown haired girl then blew hard sending the spitball flying right into Melle's cheek. At this point Kat was very irritated at the antics. As Kat got ready to stand up and give the girl a piece of her mind, something white and liquidly flew past her and right onto the brown haired girl!
A loud screech was then heard through the class and probably down the hall. "Oh my god, you are SO DISGUSTING!" The brown haired girl shot out in sickened voice.
"Ah, yeah, well that's how I feel about your face" Melle stood there with her arms crossed over her chest with a huge grin. Kat's eyes were wide, a smile stretched across her face. The brown haired snotty girl let out what some people would consider to be a war scream. Racing to try and get to Melle to cream her one. Quickly Mr. Thompson rises from his chair to attempt to stop the girl, however, it would appear it wasn't needed! Out of nowhere a desk that a boy had been sitting at in the front row flew out and blocked the brown haired girl.
It was almost like magic! Half the class was now wide eyed with amazement at what had happened. Well magic or no magic, Mr. Thompson had enough! With a finger pointing to the door he shouts to the girls to "GET OUT AND GO TO THE OFFICE, IMMEDIATELY!" Both girls cringe and make a face, getting their things and heading out to the principals office. Of course they had to be escorted by someone, so the teacher chose the boy whose desk magically moved.
