The Canadian at Monster High

Chapter 2: Monsters Meet Boy

"Mr. Anderson, would you please let go of my door and take a seat?"

Cody stood with his back up against the door of the headmistress' office. His whole body was tense and his face quite pale. Even during his time on Total Drama Cody was confident he had never experienced this much fear in so short a time. Why was he so afraid?

After moving to New Salem he learned he was now going to Monster High: a school for monsters! If that wasn't bad enough he'd gotten called to the headmistress' (which he assumed was their version of a principal) office before first period. The woman looked normal enough, that is, until she pulled off her own head. The sight scared Cody more than he'd like to admit.

When the teenage male didn't take a seat, headmistress Bloodgood sighed. "Please calm down Mr. Anderson. I assure you, you're in no danger. I am the headmistress of this school and have no intention of harming any of my students."

"And I'm…one of your students?" Cody asked.

"As of this morning, yes." She answered. "Now if you'll please take a seat we can get to the bottom of this."

Slowly, Cody let go of the door and walked over to the chair in front of the headmistress' desk. He still wasn't entirely sure about this woman so his body was tense as he sat down awkwardly in the wooden chair. Bloodgood's keen eyes took a moment to look him over. Her unattached head was still held in her outstretched hand. She pursed her lips before finally speaking. "I'm going to be completely honest with you Mr. Anderson."

"You can just call me Cody."

She ignored him. "I was not prepared for your admittance into my school at all. I know of course, that Monster High was getting a few new students this term, however I was not made aware that one of them was human."

Cody relaxed slightly. "That makes two of us. Until twenty minutes ago I had no idea the school I was going to was for monsters. I mean, are humans even allowed here?"

"Technically, yes." Bloodgood answered. She then slowly placed her head back on her neck before wringing her hands. "But it's never happened before. I've always known that it was a possibility that one day a human teenager would apply to this school, but so far it's only been hypothetical. There's been some conflict between the monster and human schools last year, and while it was resolved, it still left a clear line between the two. Most humans are far too afraid of monsters to want any more contact with us than necessary. I admit, I had hoped for a few more years with only monsters.

But that apparently isn't the case." She sighed. "Not only are you a human that somehow got accepted into the school, but you managed to do it without me ever knowing. I am going to have to investigate whoever transferred you here; their reasons may not have been good. Most likely this was done for neither of our benefits."

"So…does this mean I can't stay?" Cody asked hopefully.

Bloodgood took a deep breath. "Unfortunately…it's too late. The transfer has gone through and it would take quite a while for you to be transferred again; not to mention the paperwork involved. No, I think it would be best for now if you try to integrate yourself into the school. Go to class, try to make some friends, and don't step on any toes if you can help it. Monster High has always been a very accepting school, but only for monsters. Since you're a human…I just don't know."

Cody sighed in defeat. "So that's that huh?"

Bloodgood got to her feet. "It's not how I wanted it to happen, but your Monster High's first human student Mr. Anderson, and I want this to go as smoothly as possible. You'll have to take the plunge yourself, but don't feel completely alone. If there's anything you want to discuss please feel free to come talk to me. My office is always open." She then opened a folder on her desk and pulled out a piece of paper. "Here is your class schedule. Your first class is starting soon so you should hurry. Arriving late to your first class won't win you any fans among the teachers."

"Thank you," Cody took the schedule and briefly looked it over. "To be honest, this is really strange for me. I've had my fair share of weird stuff happen to me, but I've never had any experience with monsters before. I'm scared; I'll admit it. But as long as nobody tries to eat me, I promise I'll give it my best shot."

"That's all I can ask for Mr…" she shook her head, "Cody."

The human boy winked at the headmistress before leaving her office. Bloodgood sighed before sitting back down. She decided to pour herself a drink before having a chat with her demonic horse, Nightmare.


Outside the office, Frankie waited. She felt it was her duty to help both of the new students; especially Cody. The franken-girl knew he'd have a lot more trouble fitting in than Catrine would. That's why she wanted to help him on his first day so much. That, and she may have thought he was cute, for a normie.

Unfortunately her plans were ruined when one of her best ghoulfriends, the werewolf Clawdeen, found her. "Frankie!" she called out as she ran over. "I'm so glad I found you. I've been looking all over for you!"

Frankie could sense the urgency in her friend's demeanor and responded in kind. "Clawdeen what is it? Is something wrong?"

"It's Lagoona!" the werewolf girl spat out. "She's having Gil problems again and she's pretty upset."

"Ah bolts! Not again." Frankie sighed. Lagoona was one of her closest friends and was always there for her. Unfortunately she had a lot of trouble with her boyfriend Gil because she was seawater and he was freshwater. "But I can't just leave. I'm supposed to be waiting for one of the new kids."

"Frankie, it's an emergency!" Clawdeen insisted.

"Oh…alright!" Frankie gave in. She didn't want to just leave Cody here, but she couldn't abandon her friends either. She hoped Cody could find his way without her help. "Let's go!" Clawdeen nodded and the two ghouls ran off toward the pool.

A few minutes later the door to headmistress Bloodgood's office opened and Cody stepped out. He looked around for a moment expecting to see Frankie waiting for him. "Hello? Frankie?" It didn't take him long to realize she was gone. "Oh great. Alone in a school for monsters and my guide ditched. Guess I'll have to find the way to class on my own." He sighed. "And she seemed like such a nice girl…"

Cody's schedule told him his first class was Dead Languages taught by a Mr. Rotter. The schedule didn't have directions written on it, but it did have a class number. Unfortunately the numbers on nearby classes didn't match at all. Cody realized he probably wasn't anywhere near his next class.

As he walked down the hall checking the numbers on every room he came across, he realized there wasn't much time until class started. He also noticed everyone was staring at him. Because of this he picked up his pace. As he hurried through the halls he wasn't watching where he was going and ran right into a zombie girl.

The collision knocked him off his feet and onto his butt. But when he looked up he noticed the person (were zombies people? he wondered) he ran into hadn't budged. Cody winced before getting to his feet. "Sorry about that," he apologized. "I should've been looking where I was going. It's just that I'm not sure where my first class is and I'm going to be late…"

The girl spotted Cody's schedule lying on the floor and picked it up. She read the first line to herself. Now that he was no longer embarrassing himself, Cody got a better look at the zombie girl. Like every other zombie the tech geek had seen that day, she had gray skin, but she also had long blue hair which made her stand out. She wore a small cherry-style top over a long sleeve striped shirt along with red pants, very big black and white boots and various accessories.

Cody couldn't help but think she'd be pretty cute if she wasn't a zombie.

It only took the human boy a few seconds to take her in, which is all the time she needed to look over his schedule. "Ughhh…" she pointed a painted fingernail down the next hallway.

"Ex-Excuse me?" Cody frowned. He did not know how to speak zombie so he had no idea what she had just said. Or, if she had said anything in the first place. "I didn't get that."

"Ughh ehh…" she repeated, this time with better enunciation.

Cody was at a loss. Was this a language? Was she speaking to him? He had no idea. "I'm sorry, I…have no idea what you're saying."

The zombie girl groaned and slapped herself on the forehead. She then turned to the crowd of passing students which was getting thinner by the minute. After spotting a ghost flying nearby she groaned and slowly raised her hand up. It seemed to work as the ghost stopped floating and turned around.

The ghost (which Cody could now identify as being female) spotted the zombie girl and seemed to recognize her. But then her eyes caught sight of Cody and grew wide. In a flash she floated right in front of Cody so she was mere inches from his face. "Oh my ghoul!" she exclaimed. "It can't be! Are you…human?"

"Umm…yeah." Cody gulped. He had never seen a ghost up close before. This ghost was transparent like he expected, but surprisingly had a very physical presence as well. She had pale skin and long violet hair with small pink streaks through it and thick purple lips. She wore a dark sleeveless blouse and purple skirt along with pink boots. Small chains covered her outfit from top to bottom.

She held a small electronic device in her hand shaped like a coffin. Upon hearing his answer she began to float around him excitedly. "Oh fangtastic! I've been looking for a new story for the Ghostly Gossip all morning and now one falls into my lap! I can imagine the headline now: human sneaks into Monster High!"

"I didn't sneak in…"

"Even better! Human openly attacks Monster High in broad daylight!"

"I'm not attacking anything!" Cody frowned. "I'm a new student. What are you, a reporter?"

"A new student you say?" The ghost girl quickly takes a picture of him on what he assumes is her phone. "That's just as juicy!" she squealed in delight. "And yes, I am a reporter. My name is Spectra Vondergeist and I write the Ghostly Gossip. Would you be willing to sit for an interview?"

Before Cody could answer that, the zombie girl moaned loudly at Spectra. "Gaaahh!"

Spectra floated backwards a few paces in alarm. "There's no need to get angry Ghoulia. I can translate for you." She turned toward Cody. "This is Ghoulia, and she says she'll be happy to get you to your class if you follow her."

"Oh cool." Finally understanding what those moans and grunts meant Cody turned to the zombie girl. "Thanks Ghoulia."

The zombie moaned again before trudging her way through the hallway. Cody followed dutifully behind her; he was glad that someone was helping him again.

"Wait! What about that interview?" Spectra asked, but Cody was already gone. "Oh well, I still have enough juicy details to put together a new story! Wait till my readers hear about this…"


Ghoulia led Cody up a floor and down a few hallways until they reached Mr. Rotter's class. Cody thanked the zombie girl, but she was already walking past him to her own seat. Tentatively, he entered the classroom and found somewhere to sit. A few other students were staring at him, but no one said anything.

Less than thirty seconds after he took his seat the bell rang and class started. The teacher Mr. Rotter introduced himself and the class. From what Cody could gather he was some kind of phantom, and a rather strict one at that ("I don't give A's!"). He explained how they'd be studying dead languages and Cody wondered whether he could learn to speak zombie; or at least understand it.

Everything seemed to be going well enough until the last five minutes when all the other students phones (which Cody learned were called icoffins) went off. "A new update from the ghostly gossip!" Someone called out.

"Hey be quiet back there!" Rotter waved a piece of chalk angrily at the students. It did little good however as they instantly broke into a wave of chatter as they read the newly posted article.

"There's a human at Monster High?"

"No way! That can't be true!"

"How'd a human get in?"

"Look! He's right over there!"

A vampire boy pointed straight at Cody. All at once he felt everyone in the room, including the teacher, was now staring at him. But they didn't just stare. Soon all the students were up and surrounded poor Cody in a closed circle. They started asking him questions; too many at once. With everyone talking at the same time it was just loud noise. Different monsters poked and prodded him, as if to test whether he was the real deal or simply a disguise. Cody didn't know what to do. He shrunk into his chair but the voices just got louder and the people came closer. Then all of a sudden…

The bell rang. Class was over. The students let out a loud sigh, but then as a group walked out of class. Cody sat in his chair blinking in confusion. He found it hard to believe that their curiosity had left simply because class was over. Deciding not to waste this opportunity, he gathered up his things and got out.

Once he was in the hallway again he realized he had been better off in the empty classroom. The students wandering the halls all had icoffins and had read the article about him. They pointed and stared as he passed. Some looked worried, others tried to look intimidating (and succeeded in Cody's mind) while a few just looked curious.

There was only a few minutes between classes, but Cody wanted to find his locker. According to the information on his schedule it wasn't too far from his first class. It didn't take him too long to find it: locker 0401. All the lockers at the school were shaped like coffins and Cody's was no exception. Some of them were full size and went down to the floor, but his was one of the half size ones.

He turned the code into the lock and pulled down to unlock it. No luck. He tried again and got the same result. Annoyed now, and running out of time, he pulled down angrily on the lock but nothing happened. "What the hell?" Cody kicked the bottom locker in frustration.

"Whoa, calm down dude. I think I can help."

Cody turned in surprise to see another student standing next to him. It was a guy, and he was probably a head taller than Cody. He wore a vest over a red sleeveless shirt, black pants, checkered shoes and a pair of cool shades. Cody thought this guy could almost pass for human, if he didn't have snakes for hair. The tiny snakes hissed at him angrily from on top of the guy's head.

"I had this locker last year," the guy told Cody. "It's pretty tricky. Let me show you an easier way." He moved in front of the locker and spun the lock. "Hand me that combo bro." After he held out his hand Cody gave him the paper with the combination on it. "Alright let's see…" The snake-headed boy worked his magic and a minute later got the locker to open. "There we go!"

Cody sighed in relief at the sight of the open locker. "Thank you so much man! How did you do that?"

"The secret is to spin it twice beforehand and then jiggle it at the end. If that doesn't work give it a good pop!" he rapped his knuckles loudly against the locker. Cody nodded in appreciation for the advice.

"Well thanks a lot."

"No prob," the guy shrugged. "I'm Deuce by the way. You are?"

"I'm Cody. The new kid."

"That's cool. What's your next class?" Deuce scanned Cody's schedule. "Hey bite-ology, rad! That's my next class too. Want me to show you where?"

Cody nodded. "That would be great." He quickly stuffed the rest of his stuff in his locker before shutting it.

"Then let's go." Deuce walked down the hall confidently while Cody trailed behind him. So far the brunette liked Deuce. He was "cool" similar to Trent, but approachable and friendly more like Tyler had been.

Cody was happy to see that when he walked behind Deuce nobody bothered him. People looked, but didn't approach. The gorgon son said hi to everyone and gave out a lot of high-fives, but never got distracted. After he'd talk to someone he'd let Cody know who they were. The tech geek was having trouble remembering who was who, but found it helpful anyway.

Bite-ology wasn't half bad. Mostly the teacher just talked, but Cody learned more about monster biology in an hour then he had his entire life. When class ended and he walked out with Deuce, he was surprised to see Frankie coming toward them.

"Hey Frankie," Deuce greeted her like an old friend. "Didn't know you had this class."

The Franken-girl walked right up to Cody looking frantic. "Cody I am so sorry! I know I shouldn't have left you, but one of my ghoulfriends had an emergency and I had to leave and I am so sorry!" She took a breath. Only then did she notice Deuce. "Oh hey Deuce."

"It's okay Frankie," Cody shrugged. "I'm kinda used to it. And I believe you by the way. You wouldn't bother apologizing like this if you didn't care or have a good reason."

Frankie looked relieved. "Thanks Cody. It's just, I was a new kid not too long ago and I really wanted to do a good job. What kind of new student guide abandons her charge?"

"It's alright," Cody assured her. "I got to my first two classes and Deuce here helped me out."

Frankie quickly thanked the gorgon guy. "It's no big deal." He shrugged. "Listen I got to get to my next class. See you two later." Deuce said before walking away.

Once he was gone Frankie put her hand on Cody's shoulder. "So what do you say I show you to your next class?" But before he could say anything Frankie's hand popped off her arm and walked across his shoulders. "Oops!" Frankie chuckled. "Sorry Cody, my stitching is always coming apart!"

Cody took a deep breath and realized this was probably something he was going to have to get used to.


Frankie escorted Cody to both his next two classes. His second class they had together and Cody was relieved that she sat with him through it. Once the bell rang it was time for lunch. "Come on!" The green-skinned girl led him through the hallways by hand. "I want to introduce you to my friends!"

Cody was nervous about what monsters ate for lunch; especially when they ate it in a place called the "creepateria". Once they got inside however the former reality star could see for himself that it looked just like a normal cafeteria. Glancing at the meal on a passing student's tray he could see what looked like your typical cafeteria slop. It wasn't too different than what Chef Hatchet used to serve them back on Wawanakwa Island. In fact, Cody wondered if Hatchet knew the lunch lady's here…

He and Frankie went through the line and each got a tray of food. Then Frankie led Cody over to the table she always sat at where her friends were waiting. He could see three girls and one boy talking amongst themselves while eating. Cody recognized the only boy as Deuce, and he had his arm around the waist of one of the girls.

"Hey Ghouls!" Frankie greeted her friends before sitting down. "I'd like you to meet someone. This is Cody, he's a new kid and I'm showing him around on his first day. Don't be nervous Cody, take a seat!"

Cody hesitantly sat down next to Frankie. "Hi Cody!" The short girl sitting across from Frankie said in a friendly manner. "It's fangtastic to meet you! I'm Draculaura, and these are our friends!" She motioned to the teens around her. Draculaura had actual pink skin (which surprised Cody, but didn't scare him), black and pink hair set in pigtails, and had a heart birthmark under her eye. She wore a long sleeved pink blouse with plenty of frills everywhere, a white skirt, more frills, dark leggings and pink high-heeled boots. Cody guessed by the sharp fangs that she was a vampire.

"This is Clawdeen," she pointed to the girl sitting to her left. Right away Cody could tell this girl was a werewolf. She had darker skin and long flowing brown hair. She wore a dark fur jacket over a sparkly pink and black shirt, a short purple skirt, matching boots, and a lot of accessories.

"Hey new kid," the werewolf waved her hand in greeting. "Nice to meet'cha. Always good to have some fresh blood around the school."

Draculaura continued with introductions. "And then we've got Cleo de Nile and her boyfriend Deuce." Cody knew Cleo must be a mummy because of all the bandages. In fact, her entire outfit seemed to consist of nothing but bandages wrapped around her. The only other noticeable thing she was wearing was a sparkly blue shawl wrapped across her chest. She had gigantic brown hair with strands of gold and she wore similar gold trinkets. "That's everyone except Lagoona, but she's busy with Gil right now and couldn't come to lunch."

"Nice to see you again dude." Deuce nodded before going back to his meal.

"Huh? Yeah hi new kid." Cleo said in a bored voice. She looked Cody over and then turned away. But then something caught her attention and she looked at him again. "Oh my Ra! Are you the new normie kid everyone's talking about?"

Draculaura gasped. "You mean the one from Spectra's blog?"

"Yeah," Cody shrugged. He was getting used to this reaction. "I mean I guess so; Spectra's that ghost girl right?"

"Wow we've never had a normie go to Monster High before." Clawdeen looked on with interest. "You must be pretty brave to go to a school full of monsters."

"No, not really." Cody laughed. "Actually the whole thing was an accident…" He then described to the group how he had transferred here and what his day had been like. He talked about himself briefly but chose not to mention Total Drama. He didn't know if monsters watched human TV and if it was a good idea to mention that on the first day. He decided he'd tell them later.

"Ughh…" Cleo sighed. "You really were boring all along weren't you? I'm going to find Ghoulia." She stood up and walked away.

"Don't listen to her," Frankie smiled at her new normie friend. "We're all really glad you're here Cody. Right ghouls?"

"Right!" Clawdeen nodded.

"Totes!" Draculaura smiled. "It'll be so nice to have a normie friend. You can fill me in on all the cool normie stuff. I can't wait!" Just then the bell rang.

"Oh bolts! Lunch is over." Frankie stood up. "Come on Cody, I'll walk you to your next class."

"Thanks for letting me have lunch with you," Cody told the three ghouls and Deuce. They said quick goodbyes and headed off to class. "Your friends seemed pretty nice." He told Frankie as they walked to class.

"I'm so glad you like them." She smiled. "I think you're going to like it here at Monster High."

Cody had two more classes and then school was over. Catrine was in his last class and he got to listen as she told him how well her day was going. She'd even made a friend and was glad to hear that Cody had too. Once the final bell rang he said goodbye to Catrine and Frankie and headed out of school and back to his apartment.

"Maybe Frankie was right," he mused as he walked home. "Maybe going to a school for monsters will be fun. It could actually be a good thing."


A/N: This chapter ended up being a good deal longer than I expected. What did you guys think? Kudos to anyone who gets the number for Cody's locker. Now i have 2 questions I want to ask you guys. If you could answer in a review that would be great.

1. What girls do you want in Cody's harem? You can put as few or as many as you like. Right now I'm just polling to see who people really want to see.

2. Should Cody stay human throughout the entire story, or at some point turn into a monster? And if so, what kind of monster would you like to see him become?

Thanks again! Reviews are appreciated.
