I'm 15 years too old for these books, so please don't judge me. XD
I read the entire series back in third and fourth grade. To this day, I still have a few of my favorites on the bookshelf for when I'm feeling nostalgic. Mrs Jeepers is my fav character so I kept the books where she had the most appearances.

I'm 22 years old and just graduated from college last May and I guess I'm feeling really nostalgic right now for the days of my youth and innocence.

Ch. 1 - The First Day of School

Bailey City had always been creative in naming its schools. For example, "Bailey Elementary School", "Bailey Junior High", "Bailey High School". There was even a west-side Bailey University.

Howie would be the one going to university in 4 years though, not Eddie. Eddie sneered to himself as he made his way up to the school he would now be attending.

Grade school had sucked because a certain home room teacher called Mrs. Jeepers had always been on his case. Junior High was worse because Eddie discovered as you got older adults only added more rules to follow and emerging hormones were a bitch. Now Eddie was starting high school. Why was the reward for graduating from a school always a larger, more annoying school? Eddie grumbled.

Then Eddie spotted two of his childhood friends up ahead, which took his mind off his troubles.

A very pretty feminine young blond and a more athletic young black girl were walking side by side up to the school.

"Liza! Melody!" Eddie called out to get their attention and waved at them to wait for him to catch up.

They paused for him and he ran to catch up. Arriving out of breath and with nearby students staring at him like he was a nut, Eddie grinned brightly at the two girls. "I can't wait for the opportunity to raise hell at this school." he declared, while Melody snorted and rolled her eyes.

"How long is going to take for you to grow up, Eddie?" Melody asked in exasperation.

"Yeah, we're in high school now." Liza chimed in. "The least you can do is try to act like it."

"Ha! I'm never going to grow up!" Eddie vowed. "People who grow up are boring!"

Melody sniffed in annoyance but changed the subject. "So who's your home room teacher?"

"Mr. Blake" Eddie replied, "I already compared class schedules with Howie yesterday and he already had both of your schedules. The only class where all four of us overlap is algebra."

"Good grief, you mean I have to put up with your shenanigans while trying to concentrate on my hardest subject." Melody face-palmed herself dramatically and walked into the school building.

Most of the day went well for all four students. Melody, Liza, and Howie attended their correct classes according to their schedules. They listened attentively and wrote down notes carefully. Eddie raised hell for most of the day. He pulled pranks, tripped people, switched class schedules with other students, showed up for random and incorrect classes, and overall was established as the new prank-master by the end of the day. However, the last class of the day was algebra. It was a rotten time to have a math class, when all the students could think about was going home in an hour.

Eddie break-danced his way into the classroom and knocked several textbooks to the floor before sliding into a seat next to Howie. "What's up man? How's the family?" Eddie gave Howie a friendly punch on the arm.

Howie adjusted his geeky glasses he'd been wearing since middle school. "Dude, do me a favor and chill for this class, please? You know math is my favorite subject."

"No promises." Eddie winked at a scowling Melody as she entered the classroom with Liza in tow.

Against their better judgment, the girls decided to sit next to Eddie, the troublemaker. At least they could help Howie gang up on Eddie if they needed to keep him under control.

However, all of the students went silent when the principal walked into the room.

"There's been a slight change in your schedules." Principal Gibbs announced. "Mrs. Howard experienced a career change early this morning, so we've hired a new math teacher."

Principals Gibbs gestured for the new teacher to enter the room.
"Everyone, I'd like you to meet Mrs. Jeepers. She's from the historical Transylvania region in Romania. She's been living in Bailey City for several years now, but as a new teacher at this school, I"m sure you'll make her feel welcome."

The reaction of the four students sitting in the front row was comical to say the least. Eddie, Howie, Melody, and Liza all had their mouths hanging wide open with equally stupefied expressions.

"I'm sure we will get along well." Mrs. Jeepers purred and stroked the green brooch at her neck. "I recognize several of these students from my elementary school teacher days."

She smiled her odd little half-smile in Eddie's direction.

Howie and the girls managed to close their mouths in the next few seconds, but Eddie's head dropped to the desk with his hands over his ears. He gave a small groan which sounded suspiciously like "I'm doomed."

Not sure where I'm going with this yet, but there will be more chapters soon. Feel free to leave suggestions, comments, and ideas for the story in your reviews! ^_^ If I like your idea, I might incorporate it into the story eventually!
This story will be dark. I'll keep it T-rated, but people will die and vampires are very real. PLEASE REVIEW!
