Scorpion walked into the small class room. He looked around the room to see the dragon pillers that seemingly wrapped around the stone column's,the stundents desks were small wooden desks with small book area's on the side. Melinna walked past Scorpion silently and walked over to the desk in the far left counter, Scorpion went to sit by her but when he got close to her suddenly Kitana stepped in front of him smiling. Scorpion stared at her without emotion, he was going to tell her to get out of his way when she quickly asked

"Why dont you come sit with us insteed of melinna?" Scorpion lowered his head then contiued to walk foward but kitana kept blocking his way, Scorpion widened his eyes and calmly as he could said

"no thank you, now move out of my way." Kitana fake smiled in aggervation. Scopion went to shove her but was stopped when melinna quickly blurted out

"Its okay go sit with them, make freinds", scorpion lowered his eyes to the floor and nodded slowly. Melinna lowered her head turning her attention to her thoughts, and while on the outside she did not seem affected, but on the inside she wished Scorpion could have sat by her, as she watched him and Kitana walk over to her group, Melinna knew she was not welcome as Scorpion saw Scorpion sit down in thedesk nexted to Smoke, her eyes widened when as she watched Kung Lao try to offer Scorpion a hand shake but was met instead by an angry glare from Lao backed off, she looked over to the front desks and saw Baraka, giving an evil glare to Scorpion, Melinna then knew that sooner or later a fight was going to erupt and it was not going to have a happy voices lowered when footstepes clanged in the hallway and everyone rushed to there seats,the door opened and the teacher Shang Tsung stepped in Melinna lowered her head, Shang Tsung Smiled for everyones in a creepy happy tone shang tsung said "

"Actually if you dont mind calling me just Scorpion."

"Of course" Shang Tsung said in a creepy happy old man tone ,he smiled and boldy said

"Alright now thats done lets get our books and read "the history of the black dragon"" Scorpion rolled his eyes and looked over to Melina for help, Melinna looked over to scopion then held her book up with a the black dragon insignia on it. scorpin nodded, Mileena let a small giggle out, Scorpion smiled at that reached the end of his mouth then looked inside the wooden cuppy to find the exact book, he opened to the first page and saw a picture of a red dragon on it, he rolled his eyes and looked forward and pretended to be listening, and day dreamed.30 minutes passed and Scorpions eyes smlowly lowered, for every secound he was geting more and more tired ,meliina turned her attention away from Shang Tsungs blabering she saw in the corner of her eye scorpion about to fall asleep. Her mouth twiched trying to hold in her laughter but it came out as a muffed heavy head got lower until his eyes were competely closed, he had fell asleep, when suddenly after one hour of Shan tsung talking the bell rang which made scorpion jump a little ,Melinna smiled wide under her rose up quickly and rushed out the door with his book in hand, Melinna quickly rose and fastly walked out of the room. Melinna looked in the hallway quickly and saw that scorpion was holding a piece of paper and standing in front of his locker. Mellina smiled at the fact that he had not killed some one yet, she walked to her locker put her combanation in and slipped her books in, Melinna was going to close her locker when she turned her head back to the other side and noticed that scorpion was gone she slammed her locker door and looked down at the floor for she was nervous about what was next period. In silence Mellina worried in her thoughts when a deep voice cut through, she looked over quickly to only see it was her freind Scorpion.

"Sooo Whats next period" he asked , Melinna gulped hard and wimply said

"G-Gym". Scorpion looked into her lowered eyes and knew it was because of Baraka,Scorpion lowered his voice and said

"Dont worry, now we can beat the crap out of him if he messses with one of us",Melinna raised her head up and both entered the large Gym where Row after row of bleachers were lined up against the stone walls, on the floor was a bunch of decorative lines that all lead to a black drangon insignia in the middle, which made scorpion roll his eyes at the arrogance of the school. Suddenly the large wooden doors busted open Revealing Qun Chi in his uniform, black baggy jeans and an orange shirt,

"All right listen up I want every one in this room to go get dressed NOW! boys dressing room is on the left and Girls on the right MOVE IT!" Quan chi yelled.

The Boys locker room:

The room was full with other people crowded together which ticked scorpion off beyond belef, not wanting to have too kill one of them he stepped into the bathroom and undressed himself. He could hear all the laughing and talking and was only ready to make Baraka pay for trying to kill him and terrorising his new freind, His anger consumed him he did not want to but he knew he had to try not to rip Baraka in half during gym. He opened the meatal door and walked into the locker where everyone was getting dressed he saw Baraka in gym uniform waiting for Kano , Scorpion Clenched his fists and angrlyrly stomped into the gym.

In the Girls locker room:

"Wheres my deodarant?" Kitana shouted dramaticly, Sonya shot her a Confused look,

"Look in your gym locker" sonya said in a louder tone which made Kitana give her a angry look. Melinna was in the bathroon stall in gym uniform but was too nervous to go out, she slipped her veil off and breathed deeply exposing her mouth, she took her hand and felt the extra skin creses of her mouth and sighed deeply. Jade and Kitana were already heading out the door when Kitana stopped and turned to sonya,

"Are you coming?" Sonya stopped

"still getting dressed" she said happily, Jade and Kitana walked out of the locker room. Once Sonya was done she looked to the bathroom and saw somones Shoes, she gently walked in and lightly knocked on the door.

Milenna Heard someone knocking on the stall door she quickly realized it was Sonya when she heard her ask if she was coming she grabbed her veil and put it back on. Mellinna opeaned the door quickly which made Sonya jump back a little Melinna Nodded and quickly stormed out of the locker room,leaving the confused sonya behind.

Outside the locker rooms:

Scorpion watched as people walked out of their locker rooms and no sign of Melinna. He was concerned until Melinna walked out with a look of fear on her face as she slowly walked over to sit on the girls side she was forced to sit in, she sat on the last bleacher Crossed her arms and was quiet. Scorpion looked to Jade and Kitana talking away, Sonya looked at them and seemed as if she was listening, He looked at Melinna and Could not help but stare as she looked different in black shorts and a white top Which resembled his uniform. Scorpions staring was broken when Quan chi in a booming voice said

"ALL RIGHT EVERYBODY BETTER BE DOING AN EXERcISE OR THEY WILL FACE THE CONseQuENCES IN MY OFFICE!" Lui kang stood up and went straight to a punching bag hanging from the ceiling, Kung Lao and Sub Zero Played basket ball against Noob and Smoke. Jax and Kano were lifting weights and standing as far away for each other as possible, Barka was practicing with his blades against a dummy. Scorpion was doing chin ups watching barakas every move making sure he did not try to do smoething,Kitana was practiciing hitting a dummy, Jade was lifting weights, Kung Lao watched her every movement with a suductive smlie on his face. Sonya was practiceing her gymnastics ,Melinna was practicing hitting a dummy when suddenly she heard loud laughing, she turned around to see Lui Kang and Smoke laughing and whispering something to each other, she rolled her eyes and went back to Practicing on her dummy. Melinna's concentration was broken when someone Tapped on her shoulder she turned around to see Smoke

"What!" she snapped at him, Smoke smiled a little under his mask and said in a soft tone,

"Is it okay if i see your face behind that veil, i promise i wont be scared" Melinna rolled her eyes and said in a small voice

"I highly doubt that, No i wont smoke, No!" melinna said

"why?" smoke pleaded, Melinna was geting angry and said in deep deep tone

"NO!"

"I know why!" smoke said loud, enough for everyone to turn around

"YOU ARE UGLY" smoke yelled. Melinnas eyes widend she clenched her sais from her shoes and jumped smoke. Melinna punched him multiple times in the face but little did she relize her veil had slipped off and her teeth were showing ,she yelled Demonicly and slashed her knife across Smokes chest. Mellina so filled with rage then punched smoke so hard he went into uncouncouisness, she rose panting and looked down at her blood stained hand, then smiled in satifaction. Melinna looked up and saw eveyone was looking at her in fear, she was confused until she did not feel her veil on her face and realized that her teeth were showing and her face was covered with blood, even bararka stared in fear, crystal tears stared to form in her eyes, so she ran to the locker room, dashed into the bathroom dropping her sais on the way. Lui Kang stood over the unconcious smoke who just then woke up,

"what hit me?" smoke asked Lui Kang, Before Lui Kang could Speak scorpion angrly stared down at smoke and said

"Your the idiot that went trying to get her to show her mouth when she already said no", smoke stared at Scorpion with a confused dashed back to the mens locker room when he was stoped by a tap on his shoulder he turned around to see Sonya,

"I'll go cheack on her okay" sonya said in a Caring voice, Scorpion somehow trusted her and nodded. Sonya turn to enter the girls locker when she heard banging in the bathroom, she slowly walked in there carefullly, Sonya approched the door and lightly knocked,

"What!" melinna said in demonic voice,

"You okay" sonya calmly said

"Leave me alone!" melinna responded then she banged the jumped a little then said

"okay me and Scorpion were checking on you" Meliina looked down to the floor and decided to go ahead and leave the stall before her annoying sister would walk in, she opened the door then rushed to the sink she washed off the blood of Smoke, watching it go down the drain Sonya nodded they both walked out the lockeroom door. When Mileena left the locker room she was immediately sent to Shang Tsungs office to be Scolded, She was ordered to shower, get dressed, and report there immediatly,she watched as people glared at her, in fear, she sighed saw her Veil on the ground and slipped it back on her face. she looked down and saw the bloody trail that led to her sais but the they were missing, she was to worried about her punishment to be face Darkened as she stood at Shung Tsungs office, she slowly walked in and sat in the nearset chair, for thirty minutes she heard a long Scolding about how she need to control her Taratan nature,when she stepped out she saw Scorpion was there was siting on a wooden chair, waiting for her to get out. Melinnas head was down looking at the ground until scorpin asked her

"softly you okay?" Milenna lifted her face, she had sad look on it.

"Yea", she responded in a quiet voice. Scorpion then smiled and said in a serious tone

"good job kicking Smokes butt", Melinna laughed a little, scorpion smiled and said
