Chapter 2: Back At School

5 Days Later

Trouble Kelp jumped off the bus and was immediately surrounded by his fellow crunchball team mates and fans. Trouble saw his best friend and high-fived him. "Hey Chix! What's up?!" Trouble asked taking the crunchball out of Chix Verbil's hands. "Nothing. Same old, same old." Chix said and walked with Trouble to the school doors. "So how were the Alps?" Chix asked. Trouble tossed the ball to Chix. He caught the ball and threw back at Trouble.

"Cold but fun," Trouble said as he caught the ball. Trouble decided not to tell anyone about the singing thing. He looked around for Holly before he left but couldn't find her. Maybe I'll call her later tonight, Trouble thought as he and Chix walked through the front doors of the high school. Grub came up behind them. "Don't look now," he said grinning. Lilly Frond and her brother Mark came walking into the commons area of the school. The crowd parted and let them through.

"The ice princess is back," Trouble said to Chix.

"You know what I heard she did over the break," Chix said grinning.

"What?" Trouble asked grinning.

"Buying more mirrors." Chix said loud enough for the group to hear. Trouble, Grub, and the rest of the group bursted into laughter. The homeroom bell rang and Trouble and Chix ran off to their class.

Holly and Heather walked into the school building and into the main office. They got there schedules from the secretary and left the office as the homeroom bell sounded. "Bye Holly!" Heather said and ran down the hall. "Later!" Holly yelled and ran up the flight of stairs to her left. It didn't take her long to find her homeroom. She walked into the room and handed the teacher a sheet saying that she was new to the school and walked to an empty desk in the back of the room.

Trouble and Chix were sitting at their desk talking to some people. Trouble was telling them about this wipe-out a pixie had while snowboarding when he saw someone walk into the room. It was an elf. She handed the teacher a note and walked past him to the back of the room. Trouble felt his mouth drop. It was Holly! Chix laughed and snapped his fingers in front of Trouble's face. "Hey man, wake up!" Chix said. Trouble shook his head and took a double look at the girl in the back. He couldn't tell if it was Holly or not. "Mr. Kelp the desk are for sitting in. Not on," the teacher said. Trouble jumped off his desk and slid into his seat. "Mr. Verbil this is a classroom. Not an arena." The teacher said pointing at the crunchball in his hands. "Yes ma'am Mrs. Durbous!" Chix said and sat down in the seat behind Trouble. He slipped the ball under the desk out of sight from Mrs. Durbous. "You're such a suck up," the pixie behind Chix said. Chix turned around in his seat.

"I don't know what you're talking about Opal," Chix said grinning. Opal Koboi rolled her eyes and turned her attention to Mrs. Durbous, who was making announcements. "The school's Magic Knowledge team still has spots open for the regional competition next week. If you wish to join please talk to Miss. Koboi. The drama club will be holding auditions for our winter musical tomorrow during free period. All are encouraged to try out." Trouble ignored Durbous and took his cell phone out. He dialed up Holly's phone number. Holly's phone went off and was playing 'I'd Do Anything'. Lilly, Mark, and Holly all took out their phones to see who was calling them or texting them. "Ah, the cell phone menace strikes yet again!" Mrs. Durbous said and grabbed a plastic box. "Lilly and Mark, phones please," she said holding the box out. Lilly and Mark put their phones in the bucket. "And I will see both of you in detention. Miss. Short," Mrs. Durbous said seeing Holly's phone out. "Here at East Haven High we do not use cell phones during class. So I will see you in detention as well." Holly looked down at her phone before she put it in the bucket. Trouble, it said with the picture of Trouble on the screen. "Well, well. Trouble Kelp, you're phone appears to be in this. I'll see you at detention too." Mrs. Durbous said as Trouble tossed his phone into the bucket. "Ah, Mrs. Durbous, Ma'am," Chix said raising a hand slightly, "Trouble has crunchball practice after school. We have to get ready to play in the championship. Trouble is team captain." Mrs. Durbous looked at Chix.

"There is something called crime and punishment, Mr. Verbil." Mrs. Durbous said putting the plastic box on her desk. "And you can join you're captain in detention for fifteen minutes. Count them."

"I seriously doubt if he could count that high," Opal said grinning. Chix turned around in his seat again and glared at Opal.

"That's fifteen minutes for you too, Miss. Koboi.' Mrs. Durbous said. Opal's mouth dropped. Chix smiled happily at her punishment for her remark and turned around in his seat. "Now is there anything else?" Mrs. Durbous asked looking around the room. Grub raised his hand. "How was you're break Mrs. D?" He asked. Everyone in the room turned around and glared at Grub. "What?" He said as the bell rang. Trouble shook his head and jumped out of his seat and ran out of the room. He waited outside the classroom door. Holly ran out of the room and looked around. Trouble came up behind her and grabbed her shoulder. Holly spun around. "Trouble!" Holly gasped.

"Holly! It's you!" Trouble said happily. "I looked for you before we left but I couldn't find you."

"My aunt had one drink too many," Holly said grinning. "I had to stay up all night to make sure she didn't do something stupid." Trouble nodded his head and they started to walk down the hallway together.

"So when did you get here?" Trouble asked Holly as they walked down the crowded hall.

"A few days ago," Holly said adjusting her bookbag. "My aunt got a job transfer here. We use to live on the other side of Haven." Trouble nodded his head. "Well, welcome to East Haven High," Trouble said as they entered the main hallway. "And now that you know Mrs. Durbous, I'm sure you can't wait to try out for that," Trouble said pointing to the sign up sheets for the winter musical posted up on one of the bulletin boards. "Yea right," Holly said. "But if you audition for it, I might come and watch you." Trouble laughed and ran a hand through his hair.

"Like you said, yea right," Trouble said. Suddenly Lilly Frond came out from behind the bulletin board.

"Hi Trouble," she said dreamily.

"Hi Lilly," Trouble said.

"It's nice of you to show a new student around." Lilly said nodding at Holly. Then she turned around to the board that had the winter musical sign up sheets on it. She pulled out a pen and signed her name and her brothers. Lilly turned back around. "Were you going to audition?" Lilly asked Holly. Holly shook her head.

"No," she said and looked at the sheet again. "Nice penmanship." Holly said and walked off. Trouble and Lilly watched Holly walk down the hall and into a chemistry class. Lilly turned around to Trouble. "So when is the big crunchball game?" She asked taking a step towards Trouble. "Um, next week," Trouble said taking a step back from Lilly.

"Are you going to come see me in the play?" Lilly asked taking another step forward giving Trouble a smile.

"Uh," Trouble said running a hand through his hair. "I might go." Lilly's face lit up and she took another step forward making her inches away from Trouble. Trouble took a step back away from Lilly. "I'd better get to class." He said jerking a thumb behind him. "Oh, okay," Lilly said smiling at Trouble, "Bye then." She said and waved at Trouble. Trouble nodded his head and walked down the stairs to his math class.
