A/N: What happens when an ordinary girl, not a monster at all, is sent to Monster High? … Okay, so maybe she's not so ordinary. But a monster? I think that's a bit harsh.
Disclaimer: I do not own Monster High or any of the characters belonging to the original show. Any outside characters are mine, and mine alone.
It was Frankie Stein's junior year. Well into the third month, there were rumors going around that two new girls would be coming to the school soon. Frankie found that a bit strange. Monster High didn't really tend to get new kids being, well… a school for monsters. Sure, there were the occasional transfers, and some kids from the night class switched over to day, but aside from Frankie and Jackson a while back, no one new had come to MH.
"You sent me to a school for monsters?" A girl's shriek echoed down the hallways, reaching a decibel that even the harpies had never managed to reach before. All the students winced, but then gathered in small crowds to hear the showdown that was about to go down.
"It's for the safety of everyone concerned." A male's voice soothed.
"What about my safety?"
"Considering what you did to your last seven schools, I'm more concerned about the safety of the other students, and what will happen if they try to feed you meat."
"It's called respecting the lives of other creatures on the planet, Dad."
"It's called I don't believe in vegetarianism."
"Another vegetarian? Neat." Draculaura whispered approvingly.
"Still, a school for monsters? I'm a regular person, I don't deserve to go here." A short incredulous pause on the girl's father's side. "Okay, so maybe not so ordinary, but I'm not a monster!"
"What does she mean 'not so ordinary'?" Cleo murmured to the group. Having grown closer to the other girls throughout the years, Cleo was a permanent fixture in the group. And since she and Duece had broken up during the summer, she'd lost a lot of her edge. Not to say that Duece was the reason for her bitterness, it was just that Cleo had mellowed out since. A lot.
"El-" A female voice began.
"And how could you agree to this! You! Of all the people I thought would do this to me, you never topped the list! What the hell is that about? God, you're just … unbelievable!"
"You don't understand!"
"Yeah?"
"Yeah!"
"Then explain it to me! Explain why you agreed that a school for fucking monsters would be good for me. Huh? What's your reason for that!"
"You need to learn control! And I thought that if any place could do that, Monster High would be it."
"Control what?" Duece asked.
A defeated pause – then:
"But Monster High?"
"It's just two years, El. And I'll be here."
"Yeah, for this year, Miss Senior."
"El-"
"Okay, okay. Fine. I'll go the stinking school. But don't expect me to play fair. Anybody tries anything… Well, you can guess my reaction."
There were three sighs of relief mingled with apprehension – one from the father, the other from the mysterious girl, and the third from the headmistress. (Name, please!)
"Now, girls, I will make arrangements for you to have food that you would normally eat at other schools. Miss Burrs, Miss Winds, would the two of you be all right with a salad bar? Some would, of course, have meat."
A relieved voice was heard after the meat was mentioned. "Oh, yes. That sounds perfect, Headmistress, thank you."
"That sounds lovely, Headmistress. Thank you."
"Here are your schedules."
Those closest to the office heard footsteps coming closer to the door, and motioned frantically down the hall that the new girls were coming out. The first was a blonde with warm brown eyes, and a kind face. The second girl had deep brown hair, and stormy silver eyes. The two girls could not have been more different, but there was something linking them together, some invisible bond.
"They're normies", was hissed throughout the halls.
"Miss Winds." The headmistress called.
The dark brunette turned questioningly.
"Please don't do anything too drastic your first day here."
The girl laughed. "I make no promises, Headmistress." And with that, she was gone from the doorway and in the hallway joining her friend.
Cleo, Lagoona, Clawdene, Draculaura, Frankie, Duece, and the rest of the class looked up as the brunette from earlier stumbled into their clawculus class. Their teacher looked up with narrowed eyes at this late newcomer. His face dropped comically at the sight.
"Winds." He growled.
The girl referred to by Mr. Louzarr as 'Winds' looked up.
"Loser!" She exclaimed happily.
"It's Lou-zarr. You're late, take a seat, and don't disrespect my authority again."
The class snickered quietly to themselves at the thought of Mr. Louzarr having any kind of authority.
"Aw, Loser." Winds pouted prettily. "Don't you remember all the fun times we had? You: yelling at me and assigning me detention. Me: talking back and skipping the detentions. Good times, those."
Mr. Louzarr slammed his hands down on the desk. "TAKE A SEAT NOW!" He roared angrily. Winds narrowed her eyes at him and advanced slowly toward him like a cheetah stalking an antelope. Mr. Louzarr gulped nervously and backed away carefully. He knew very well just what it was Nayeli Winds was capable of and why she'd been sent to Monster High. He'd taught at her last four schools, and he knew what she had done to burn down the schools. She had never turned her stormy eyes upon him in anger, she'd always joked with him. But now she had trained her eyes on him.
Frankie and her friends watched from their seats. "She's going to kill him." Draculaura hissed. "Somebody do something. Duece, get her away from him."
"What do you suggest I do? Turn her to stone?" Duece hissed back. "Because you know I don't feel right about doing that to normies."
"Then don't turn her to stone!" Cleo whispered furiously. "Do it physically; just get her away from him!"
Duece threw his hands up in frustration, and got up from his chair. The sudden scraping of his chair startled Nayeli, but did nothing to deter her advancing movements. However, his hard as rock arms around his waist did. (You see what I did right there? 'Hard as rock.' Because he turns people to stone. Funny, right? Oh, never mind. You people just don't appreciate my genius.) Nayeli shrieked in surprise. "Put me down!" She struggled furiously.
"Can't, I'm afraid."
"Why not!"
"Can't have you killing Loser."
"Louzarr!"
"Dude", Duece said to his teacher. "Not helping your case here."
"PUT ME DOWN!" The girl in his arms screeched furiously.
"Nope."
"I HATE YOU!"
"Ouch, that hurts." Duece replied. "I was having so much fun; I thought you were, too."
"No, I am not having fun!"
"Aw, come on Winds. You can't say you're not having fun now", Duece teased as he turned Nayeli upside down.
"Elli! My name is Elli, not 'Winds' or whatever ridiculous name you might come up with. Learn it, and use it."
By now the class had left the room, and the only ones left were Duece's friends. As they watched the show with laughter, Cleo and Lagoona were watching with keen eyes.
"There's something there", Cleo whispered to Lagoona. "I'm determined to make sure it turns into something, but I need help. Would you be willing?"
Lagoona started to agree, and then stopped. "Are you sure you're alright with Duece dating someone else, Cleo? The two of you just broke up in the summer."
"Yeah, five months ago." Cleo said. "Look, Duece and I dated from our eighth grade through to our sophomore year. That's a long time, I realize. But we never loved one another. At least, not like that. He's my best friend, and I want him to be happy with the right girl. And so far, this normie seems like she's the right girl."
"But-"
"What?" Cleo snapped.
"She's a normie. Don't look at me like that Cleo; you know I'm not prejudiced against them. It's just… what happens if they do get together, Cleo? And they fall in love. And they get older. At some point, Duece will stop aging. And she won't. She'll get old, and then she'll die. How do you think he'll feel then?"
"I don't know what to do then, Lagoona, I just know what I should do now. Look at them. There's a spark, and I want to ignite it. Please just look at them." Cleo begged her friend.
Lagoona sighed, and turned her eyes to Duece and Elli. Elli had managed to get herself turned the right way around – Lagoona knew Duece wouldn't have done that himself – and was struggling to get out of his arms to attack Mr. Louzarr. Apparently the teacher had opened his mouth again and endangered his personal wellbeing in one way or another. Lagoona started to look back at Cleo to say she didn't see anything, and then stopped. Had she just seen…? She whipped around to face Cleo, her facial expression saying it all.
Oh, yeah. She and Cleo were so getting them together.
And… end! I am so sorry you guys for starting another story, but I really wanted to do this one, and anyway stupid fanfic isn't working from where I am, and well, the only things I can really do are work on new chapters for already posted stories and start new ones. Don't hate.
I'm working on chapter eight of TTAV – already finished chapter seven – and I'm working on chapter seven of SD – already did chapters five and six. I have another new story coming out. It's on 'Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging'. It's mostly the movie version, but I like some of the stuff from the books, too, so I'm just going to be using both. And I won't be using Ellen. I'm sorry, but I just hate her in both the books and movie, so no Ellen.
Reviews are lovely. :)
Love!
