RING!
The school bell rang for the first time that school year. Edd smiled and sighed happily, glad to be back in the building.
"Hi bell!" Ed waved.
"Ugh, stupid school!" Eddy complained.
"Eh," Bella shrugged, "I'm in between. Like, I sorta like it, but I also hate it almost as much as I do dogs."
"Joyous school!" Edd grinned, not even listening to his negative friends.
"Come on, let's find our lockers," Bella said.
They got their locker numbers and combinations and opened their new lockers. After putting everything away and getting the books they needed, they looked at their schedules. They all had the same classes together, except for Bella, who had choir on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
"Uh, first is science," Bella read. They headed to class. In all of their classes they had the same talk. Expectations, safety, what they would learn that year, supplies they needed, yada yada yada.
During math after gym which was after lunch, Bella, who was already completely bored, was wishing she could turn into her cat self and go home. Without even knowing she was doing it, she turned into a cat, yowling out in shock. Everyone stared at her. She laughed nervously and turned back to normal, her face completely red.
The last class of the day was Power Control. Basically, the kids would learn how to control their powers and stuff like that.
Out in the school yard, kids were playing football as they waited for their buses. Kids with bikes rode home after talking with friends. Bella whipped out her phone and called her best friend in Italy and started talking quickly in Italian.
"Ciao ragazza, come stai? Sì, sto bene. Così come era la scuola?"
Edd watched as the other boys, along with Ed and Eddy, played football. Edd spotted Brandon Kanker on the other side of the crowd, standing with his two friends, Lob and Doyle. (Names based on Crabbe and Goyle from Harry Potter. ;) ) Edd paled slightly, hoping Brandon wouldn't see him, but no such luck. Brandon must have spotted him, because he smirked and pointed him out to his friends before teleporting over, right in front of poor Edd!
"B-B-Brandon!" Edd jumped and gulped. He saw Lob and Doyle walk over, smirking.
"Well well well, look what we have here, boys," Brandon said, folding his arms, "A nerd. Gee, wonder what he's doing all alone..."
"Heh, what's the matter? All your friends ditch ya?" Lob asked meanly.
"Um, w-well, a-actually-" Edd began.
"Probably," Doyle laughed, "Who'd be friends with him?"
The three laughed loudly before hearing someone clear their throat. They looked over and saw Bella, angry.
"Um, what's going on?" She asked.
"Nothing babe, it doesn't concern you," Brandon said. Bella's eyes flamed.
"One, don't call me that," She growled, "Two, if you're picking on MY step brother, it DOES concern me!"
"Bella, y-you don't have to..." Edd said quietly, but Bella ignored him.
"Babe, chill," Brandon said, "It's just a little teasing. There's nothing wrong with it."
"Uh, yeah, there is!" Bella snapped, "It's mean, cruel, and considered bullying. So I'd like it if you would LEAVE MY FRIENDS ALONE!"
The three boys looked shocked at her outburst. They looked at each other then back at Bella. Brandon sadly teleported home. At least, he thought he did. He ended up in a totally different trailer and ended up getting hit over the head with a broom as an old lady yelled 'Thief!' and 'Hoodlum!'
Brandon hurried out the door, rubbing his head and muttering, "Crazy old woman." He looked around.
"What the heck happened?" He asked himself. He tried again and this time ended up in the right trailer.
"Hey bro," Lee greeted.
"Hey, something weird happened," Brandon said, sitting down.
"Like what?" May asked.
"I tried teleporting here, but I ended up in another trailer," Brandon explained.
"Who's?" Marie asked.
"That one old lady with the broom," Brandon mumbled, rubbing his head. His sisters snickered.
"Ah, don't feel bad," Lee said, "At least you have your power." She glanced towards Marie.
"I have my power," She said, "I just don't feel like sharing with you guys."
"Suuuuure," Brandon rolled his eyes.
That night, Marie once again pulled on her hoodie and walked. Tonight was the library. She had gotten banned for making too much noise, and this was the one place she KNEW Edd went on a daily basis by himself.
She reached the building and imagined black spray paint, but when she sprayed the wall, pink shot out!
"What the...?" She looked confused as she tried again. She was trying the paint a torn up book, but pink couldn't work when she was angry! She growled and waved her hand over the pink paint. This was a trick she learned. When she did this, the paint disappeared.
Finally, she got the right color and painted the torn up book in black, blue, and dark purple. She walked home and went to bed, waiting for everyone to see her work tomorrow.
