Chapter 1 – Outsider
Jim left his last class before lunch with haste. He wanted to make the line and find a seat before all the crowds came in. He would never be able to find a seat, or have anything good afterwards if everyone else got in front of him. Why, though? Why wouldn't anyone want to sit with the boy who traveled to the other side of the galaxy to get to loot from imagination, and not only that, to find that he would be mutinied by one of his close friends, not to mention a cook? Jim sighed, and was thankful he reached the line with only a few students in front of him.
He bought a cheese sandwich and got one of the benches outside under the sun, just outside the cafeteria. He was thankful he was able to get something good. Jim took out his book and flipped to his spot, and began reading. "Hey Jessica," a boy's voice filled the air.
"It's Dolphy," another voice snapped. Jim looked up and saw the black haired Carren picking on a young girl, no older than him. The girl, who was sitting on the bench farther down the walkway, had wavy locks of brown hair, with two strands hanging on each side of her face, her green eyes content and focused on the sketch she had in her lap. She wore a blue shirt with a darker blue jacket over top it and dark brown pants, similar to Jim's. He had seen her around campus quite a bit, during lunch and break, but, he didn't have any classes with her. When he did see her, though, she always had her nose in that sketchbook. "Now, leave me alone, vacuum-brain."
"Ooh," Carren responded, and snatched the sketchbook from under the girl's nose, "come on, sweet-heart! Just take it!" The girl stopped jumping for it and her hands at her sides were stiff and were balled into fists.
"Damn idiot, give me back my book, or I'm gonna-."
"Gonna what, sweetie," Carren whistled and chuckled afterwards, "get your rubber there and get at me? Come on, Jessica."
"Fool, it is Dolphy!" She snapped, which only gave her a hard slap across the face, which knocked her off her feet and to the ground. She moved from her side to her back, whispering a curse under her breath. She coughed, trying to get the sudden shock out of her mind, and air into her lungs. Jim made his move, and jumped in front of Carren and the girl before he could hurt her again.
"Didn't your mother teach you to pick on people your own size, Carren?" Jim asked, getting up in Carren's face. He snatched the sketchbook from his hands, and looked back at the girl, but in doing so, gave him a punch in the gut, and he fell next to her.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?" the girl so-called Dolphy said, sitting up, and putting a protective hand on Jim's shoulder. Carren looked down on this sight with a cheesy smile.
"Lead it up to Hawkins to do something really stupid, like help a girl named after a creature that flies in the skies away from civilization. One who draws petty pictures," Carren kicked the sketchbook out of Dolphy's hands and laughed when it flew into the air and into the puddle down the way. "Later, Dolphin," Carren sneered and stalked off.
"Bastard," Dolphy snapped, and helped Jim up before going to her sketchbook, "God knows how much I hate him," she snapped. She turned back to Jim and grabbed his arm, helping him pull him up. "Are you alright?" she asked.
"Yeah," Jim answered pulling himself up and brushing off the dust. "Are you?"
"Bastard thinks he owns the place," she snapped, "other than that, fine. I'm Jessica Dolphers, but my friends call me Dolphy, that is, if I did have any friends."
"You do now," Jim said. She looked at him with a green gaze. "Jim Hawkins."
"Nice to meet you," The bell interrupted them from their chat, and they both sighed in unison.
"Are you busy after class?" Jim asked. She shook her head, and began to walk into the building, "would you like to meet up afterwards and just, you know, chat?" She chuckled, and then looked at her books.
"I would like that," she said, "I guess that this academy is the worst thing anyway, now, that is." She smiled at him and walked inside, from his view. Jim made a small sigh of relief, collected his books, ran to class, and went the rest of the school day thinking of what they should talk about.

Wow, that took me a while…anyway…like I said up top…I do not own Dolphy, so please do not tell me she is a cool character, I know she is. The real Dolphy designed her to kick ass, so, that is what I did!
