Freaky Fabulous Transfer: Chapter 3
Yeah, I know it's been a while. But this happenes when your drive to write suddenly goes on vacation without you -_-.
Well, here's chapter three:D.
After Anna's first class had finally finished, she walked through the halls of the school, looking around for the two boys who help her earlier.
She looked over all the faces of students who were hanging out by the lockers, trying to spot a green snake Mohawk or bright orange hair, dark glasses or a team sports jacket.
But the more she kept her eyes on each passing student, the less attention she was giving to her surroundings and sure enough she walked right into another body.
This time, it was her fault.
She gave a gasp and quickly backed up, blushing with embarrassment and tried to give an apology as they turned around and tried to say something too.
-"Sorry!"-
-"S'cuse me,"-
They stopped when they saw who they were talking to, and Deuce was the first to get out the next word. "Well you're a familiar face." He commented with a smile. "Anna, right?"
Anna raised a brow, how did he know her name?
"I, yeah, I'm… hi." She stated, mentally kicking herself for how lame she sounded. But the boy only gave a smile and chuckled a bit.
"Are you feeling any better?" he asked. "It looked like you had pretty big scare earlier."
"I'm fine, it was just the first time that's ever… I've never really-"
"First time being bullied?"
"Oh I wouldn't call it…well, yeah, I guess that did happen, didn't it?" Anna said, looking down sheepishly. "I'm sorry for running off after you and that other boy helped me, that wasn't a very gracious 'thank you'.
She offered out a hand to him
"So, thank you so much…um,"
"It's Deuce, Deuce Gorgon." He told her, accepting the handshake. "And it's no problem at all; Monster High is supposed to be a place where everyone can come together no matter who, or what, they are."
Anna gave Deuce a little smile, he seemed like such a nice person.
"So, Deuce, the other boy that was with you," Anna started. "Do you know where I can-"
A shrill voice screeching out made Anna cut off her question with a jump.
"DEUCE GORGON!"
"Uh-oh," Deuce commented before he turned around towards the source of the yell. And Anna peeked around to see a very pretty mummy girl coming towards them.
Well, storming towards them with a look that said she was out to kill someone.
"I see how it is," she said, her sapphire blue eyes glittering with anger. "I turn my back for one minute and you go off and start flirting with the likes of her?!"
She must have been his girlfriend.
Anna didn't want the two of them to get into a fight because of a misunderstanding, so she took a step forward and tried to explain that it wasn't what she thought it was.
"But Deuce wasn't-"
"And you!" the mummy girl started, rounding on Anna who let out a startled 'meep!'
"If you think that I'm going to allow some normie newbie putting moves on my boyfriend, you've got another thing-"
"Whoa, Cleo, chill!" Deuce said, stepping between them. "It's not like that!"
"Anna was just saying 'thanks' for helping her out with Manny this morning." The Gorgon continued. "You know how mean he can get with people, especially normies, so Heath and I decided to step in."
Heath, was that the other boys name?
"Is something wrong?" Came a familiar voice.
Juanita had walked up to their little group, sending a quick look to Anna before she met eyes with Cleo. "I'd hate for there to be another problem on my sisters first day here."
"I'll tell you how we won't ever have another 'problem' again!" Cleo started, Anna could just feel her wrath rising by the minute. "You just tell that normie to-"
"To remember how lucky she was that the boyfriend of the most popular ghoul in school, and his friend, were valiant enough to rescue her from a tight spot?" Juanita cut in, slinging an arm over Annas' shoulder while a sly smile spread on her face. "I know I'M sure glad he was around to help."
"Juani-" Anna started, wondering what she was up to, but stopped when her sister raised a finger to her lips and let out a short "Shh."
"Uh, well I… Yes, that's right, and you would do well to remember it!" Cleo said before she went and stood at Deuce's side, losing her anger as a proud look on her face appeared.
"My Deuce is very considerate, you both should be grateful to his kindness!"
"Oh we are," Juanita said with a nod, crossing her arms and looking as though she just achieved a victory. "Honestly Cleo, you've got yourself quite the catch,"
"I'm totally jealous."
Cleo gave a smile, hugging Deuce's arm while the gorgon gave one of his own at the affection from his ghoulfriend. Anna's eyes widened at the very tender display, and the fingers of her right hand suddenly began to twitch.
The movement catching the eye of her sister who gave a knowing smile.
"Yes, thank you, um, Igottagobye!" she rushed out leaving
"What was that all about?" Deuce asked.
"She's pretty strange for a normie." Cleo commented
Laughing brought their attention back to Juanita, who tried to quiet down her giggles.
"That's how my sister gets sometimes." She told them. "You might not be able to catch her before our next classes, but if you're interested in what she's up to, I think you might be able to find her out on the school entrance stairs at lunch."
"I just hope she won't get in trouble with any of the teachers until then…"
"Frankie, you were in her last two classes, what was she doing?" Cleo asked after the lunch bell finally rang.
"She and Juanita always sat in the back row, so I couldn't see," Frankie told her. "But it looked like she was really focused on something she was scribbling on."
"Well it is the time for lunch now, so let us be finding the normie girl." Abbey said.
"But where could she be?" Draculaura asked.
"Juanita said she would be outside." Cleo told them. "That's where we shall start looking first."
The ghouls agreed, and they started out towards the front entrance of the school. And sure enough, they found Anna sitting at the bottom of the steps, hunched over and working furiously on something that was sitting on her lap.
She was so focused on whatever she was doing, she didn't even noticed that she was being surrounded and watched by many curious eyes.
"What are you doing?" Lagoona asked, finally breaking the silence.
Anna gave a loud gasp and closing some sort of binder she held and violently jerking in her seat at the same time, clearly startled at the sudden voice that broke her from her intense concentration as she looked up with wide eyes to see the four of them standing around her.
"Uh, um, just-nothing!" She began, blushing madly and reaching for the bag she always carried with her. "I'm sorry, if you usually sit here I'll move and-" she stopped when Cleo suddenly picked up what Anna had from her lap.
It was a sketch book.
"Um, could you please give that back?" Anna asked meekly.
But she was ignored as Cleo opened up to the page that the pencil was in, and she gave a gasp of surprise at what she saw and making the other ghouls crowded around her to get a look as well, their eyes widening in amazement at what the saw.
It was a pencil sketch in the exact likeness of Cleo and Deuce with the mummy hugging her boyfriend around the arm with the two of them smiling.
"Oh wow, that's really good!" Frankie stated.
Cleo, however, seemed less impressed. "Care to explain yourself?" She asked in a hard tone.
Anna averted her gaze, her face bright red as her mind frantically tried to come up with something to say.
"Anna has a knack for capturing sweet moments," Juanita said once again coming to Anna's rescue as she walked down the stairs with Clawdeen right beside her. "Seeing you and Deuce together earlier inspired her to do a new sketch."
The shape shifter took the book from Cleo, looking at the drawing before smiling at Anna and handing it back to her. "Very nice, sis."
Anna just quietly took her sketch book back, keeping her eyes to the ground.
"well, now that we're all together," Juanita started, taking a seat beside her. "Would you guys like to sit down and talk?"
...
...
...
During the first few moments after the group of girls had sat down together, Juanita and Anna were bombarded with all sorts of question by the curious ghouls. like where they came from, how long they were gonna be stay and also about what they though of their school.
Juanita answered them with ease, but Anna just kept quiet during most of it.
"Also, aside from the whole 'Manny' thing, how are you two liking your first day At Monster High?" Frankie asked.
"Oh I love it, everything is so amazing here." Juanita said. "Much better than back home."
"How so?" Draculaura asked her.
"The school she goes too doesn't accept monsters, and my school doesn't accept normies." The shape shifter explained. "That's why I was so happy when I found out that we were gonna be coming here while my father's doing business."
"How is it that shape shifter can have normie as sibling?" Abbey suddenly asked.
"Yes, and no offense to the both of you, but you don't seem very much alike at all." Lagoona stated.
It was true, aside from one being a monster and the other a human, they both had vast differences in their appearance, Juanita had black hair and golden eyes, tan skin and was of Native American decent while Anna had brown hair and hazel eyes, light skin and was Caucasian.
There was really no way they could be biologically related.
"It's alright, before I met Anna, I was just me and father." the shape shifter started. "Then about five years ago, he met Anna' mother, and they fell in love and eventually got married."
"Oh, so you're step sisters." Clawdeen stated.
"I don't like that label, 'step' keeps us separated from each other." Juanita said bumping against Anna's shoulder with a smile. "Even though you see that we're not sisters in blood, there's no doubt in my mind that we're sisters in spirit."
There was a long pause, and Juanita suddenly gave a small gasp. "Oh, I'm sorry Anna, I've been doing all the talking."
Anna blinked in surprise, looking of at the group of ghouls as they all trained their eyes on her, waiting for her to say something as well. But for a moment, Anna just stared at them nervously before she eventually just looked away.
"I-it's alright," Anna started in a quiet voice. "I fine with just listening..."
At that, Juanita slowly lost her smile and a slightly disappointed look coming across her features. "Anna-"
*BBBBRRRRRRRIIIINNNG!*
"Well, it's time to go back to our classes." Anna started, grabbing her bag and quickly getting to her feet. "Bye, it was nice meeting you all."
Juanita just looked at Anna's retreating back for a moment, and then turned back to the others. "Sorry about that, guys," she said with a rather put out smile. "I'll see you later, Clawdeen."
"See ya!" the Werewolf said.
"Oh my Ra, that is the stingiest normie I have ever met!" Cleo stated hotly once Anna and Juanita disappeared inside the school. "Can you believe her?!"
"Come on Cleo, don't be like that." Frankie said. "It's her first time at a monster high school; I'm positive that she'll warm up eventually.
"She just needs some time, that's all."
Once the final bell rang through the school, Juanita met Anna at her locker and tried to talk to anna about what happened earlier at lunch. But when the normie suddenly noticed that Clawdeen, Draculaura and Frankie where heading towards them, she started feeling nervous. "Well, I'll meet you outside Nita." Anna said, and she dashed off down the hallway before her sister could even say anything.
As soon as she rounded the corner, Anna looked over her shoulder with a regretful expression. She knew that she was worrying her sister for avoiding everyone like this, and she knew that she'll probably hear it from her once they were home, but it was better if she just remained alone. Even if she did try to make friends, it'd only end up going up in smoke.
She faced forward, her head bowed and her eyes closed. And besides, this wasn't a permanent transfer after all...
SMACK!
"I am so sorry!" Anna started, backing up and rubbing her sore jaw after she AGAIN walked right into somebody. Harder this time.
What was wrong with her today? First it was that minotaur, then Deuce and now-
"Hey, it's you!" a voice exclaimed.
Anna blinked; and looked over at the person she almost ran over, and her eyes widened to find that it was the boy from before that was with Deuce, she finally found him again.
Well, practically ran into him.
"Oh, hi!" she said with a relived smile. "I'm so glad I got to see you again."
"Really?!" he asked, perking up a bit.
She inwardly gasp when his hair suddenly caught fire again and he reached into his pocket and pulled out the handkerchief that she had drop earlier that morning.
"I believe this is yours, m'lady," he said as he gave a dramatic bow and held it out.
But not three seconds after he presented it to her, it suddenly erupted into flames and turned to ash in his palm.
"Oh my gosh, sorry about that!" he hastily said, looking down at the remains of the handkerchief with horror on his face.
"It's fine, I can always make another one," Anna assured him as she tried to stifle a giggle. "And… it's 'Heath' right? I wanted to th-"
"Heath, come on!" a voice called, making them both look over to see Deuce and a werewolf that Anna didn't recognize waiting at the bottom of the stairs.
"We gotta get going if we wanna make that movie!" the werewolf said.
"Hold that thought." Heath told her with a smile before he raced down the steps, "I'll see ya around!"
"…bye," she quietly said to herself, just watching him go.
That's it for now, I hope you enjoyed it!
