--School Dazed--

The first day of school wasn't a good one for the students. It was raining and most of them were huddled in small groups with umbrella's as they waited for the bell to ring. There were two teens standing close to the school wishing they had thought to bring one. About the same height both of them had short brown hair, though the one with the maroon jacket's was darker.

"Hey." Dick Simmons broke the silence as they stood there.

"Yeah."

"You ever wonder why were here."

Dexter Grif seemed to think about this for a moment. "It's a mystery isn't it. I mean is some of this stuff really that crucial to our education? Do we really need to learn all of this? Am I really going to end up miserable and homeless because I can't do calculus! I don't know man...but it keeps me up at night."

There was a long pause as Simmons wiped his glasses off and then looked over at Grif.

"What? I meant why are we here. Standing outside the school in the rain."

Grif bit his lip. "Oh..uh yeah."

"What was all that about calculus...?"

"Um...huh? Nothing."

There was another pause before Simmons spoke up. "You want to talk about it?"

"No." Grif replied quickly.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah."

Simmons nodded ignoring the boy's glare. "Seriously though. Why are we out here? It's not like they don't know it's raining out here. They just won't let us in."

"Yeah, that's because the bell hasn't rung yet."

"So? Every other day they let us come in before the bell. Why is today so different?"

"Hey yeah.." Grif muttered and glanced over to a nearby window. "I beat they're all in there laughing at us...while drinking."

Simmons was about to agree when he thought of something. "Speaking of drinking, where is your sister?"

"Har, har." Grif shot Simmons a glare. "I thought I told you-"

"I know,." Simmons replied with a grin. "It's just too easy though."

"Right so why don't you just stick-"

He was interrupted as a girl in a bright yellow raincoat ran over and grabbed him. "Hey guys!"

"Come on sis.." Grif groaned. "You're getting me wet."

"Well it is raining." The girl replied with a smile but then let go. "So think we're going to be in any classes together again? Math was awesome last year!"

"Ugh, I am not going through that again."

"What are you complaining about?" Simmons replied irritated. "The two of you just copied off my work!"

"Actually." Grif amended. "Now that I think about it, math was good."

Simmons sighed. "This is going to be a long year."

On the other side of the school yard two teens were standing by the door and watching the area.

"What are they doing?" Tucker spoke up yet again.

Church took his gaze away from the street. "What?"

"I said, what do you think they're doing?"

"Tucker stop asking me! How the hell should I know, I'm not looking over there."

"But they're just standing there!"

"Well then they're talking. Like everyone else."

There was a pause.

.

"What do you think they're talking about?"

Church sighed. "You know what? I fucking hate you. Listen go over there and talk to them if you want to know so much."

"Yeah right. They're all the way over there."

"Wow Tucker...nice excuse.."

"Anyway those guys are annoying."

"Then why on earth--"

"Hot sister though."

"Why did I even have to ask...?" Church muttered then went back to watching the road.

.

"Who are you waiting for anyway?" Tucker asked. "I thought you said we should try avoid Caboose."

"I'm not looking for him." Church shot back. "And yes, we're staying as far away as possible from Caboose...far away."

"Then who..." Tucker stopped then glanced over at Church. "You're looking for her aren't you." I thought you two broke up?"

"We did." Church replied angrily. "But she's transferring here and-"

"Wait, wasn't she going to some private school?"

"Yeah, so-"

"Well then why'd she transfer here?"

"I don't know, she didn't really say that much when she told me."

"Maybe she killed someone?"

"I think they'd put he in jail if she did that Tucker."

"Whose in jail?" Church nearly jumped out of his skin as he turned to see Caboose standing there.

"God damn it Caboose. Don't do that!"

"Do what?"

The rest of Church's continued annoyance was lost as the bell rang.

"Finally." Tucker muttered grabbing the door. "Come on guys."

Church took one last look at the road before nodding. "Alright, lets go."

"I hope you're in my class Church!" Caboose babbled happily as the three walked into the school.

–

Being some of the first into the school it didn't take them long to find the lists.

"You'd think they'd come up with a better system then this." Church muttered as he pushed his way out of the crowd. "What room are you going to?" He turned to Caboose.

"Um..."

"You forgot didn't you."

"I'd better just...double check."

"You do that."

By that time Tucker had made his way over. "Dude, I'm in Mr. Flowers class."

"You too?" Church looked over. "Must be English."

"Great...I hear he gives really long motivational speeches."

"Wow..." Church sighed. "Well let's go before Caboose gets back."

"Good plan."

"Ugh, I've got that crazy guy." Grif groaned as Simmons walked over.

"What crazy guy?" His sister asked from beside him. "The conspiracy nut?"

"What? No, it's the history teacher. That military guy."

Simmons looked interested. "The one who gets everyone to call him Sarge? Room 219"

"Yes..wait how do you-"

"I got him too."

"Me too"

Grif sighed ignoring his sister. "Well at least I'll be able to copy your work again."

"Right...Come on. I hear he doesn't like people being late."

"It's the first day." Exclaimed Grif as they started walking.

"So that's doesn't mean we shouldn't make a good first impression."

Grif rolled his eyes."I forgot how much of a suck up you are."

Mr. Flowers was at the door of his English room making sure to great all the students personally.

"Well this is going to be fun." Church muttered as he sat down in the first empty seat he found.

Tucker rolled his eyes and sat behind him as Church had put his book bag on the desk next to him. "Maybe he won't give us much homework"

"Please he'll probably give us colouring."

"Yeah...wait, you think?"

"Maybe.."Church rolled his eyes as he glanced over to where Flowers was finished talking to another student. "Crap..."

"Hey guys!" Caboose smiled as he walked over and sat next to Tucker.

"Hey Caboose." Tucker sighed.

"Figures." Church muttered to himself. Glad at that at least Caboose seemed to think someone else was sitting next to him. The last thing he wanted to go through was another class sitting next to Caboose. Math had been bad enough last year.

"Alright dirt bags." The teacher dressed in red stood at the front of the room. He certainty looked like he was in in the army. Had the dog tags and everything. "The first thing you will understand is this. This is my classroom and in my room what I say goes. No arguments. Is that clear!"

He paused as no one answered. "I said..."

"Yes..?" A few mutters came through the crowd.

"Yes, Sir." The man replied. "Alright, let's try this again. I said, Is that clear!"

"Yes sir." A few more people answered and Grif leaned further against his chair. This guy really was nuts.

"Better." The man replied. "Now you are to address me as Sarge or Sir and only when I call on you. Is that clear?"

"Yes sir/Sarge."

Sarge nodded. "Then we might just get along." Walking over to a desk he pulled out a list. "Alright names and money. When I call on you come up and pay. You first." He pointed at Grif's sister.

"Sure!" She jumped up, still wearing her raincoat.

"Okay class." Mr. Flowers attempted to get the classes attention. "I know you're excited to be back in school. However I think we need to save a little of that energy for later."

There were a few scoffs and comments to this but Flowers ignored them. "Now I want you to know that as your teacher I am here to help you in anyway I can. If you ever need anyone to talk to, I'm here for you. Feel free to call me Mr. F, Flowers or just Teach. Whatever makes you feel the most comfortable."

He smiled not seeming to notice the glazed looks that were starting to appear in everyone's eyes. "Excellent. Now I'm sure we're going to get along great here. I'll start calling your names and you can bring up-"

He was interrupted by knock to the door. An girl in a yellow rain coat was leaning against the door way as she tried to catch her breath. It was the same one that Tucker had been staring at in the school yard.

"Sorry...I..went to the wrong room. I thought I was in history!"

"Not a problem." Flowers replied. "Why don't you take a seat neat to..." He looked around. Tucker was trying to get Caboose to move so that seat would be empty. "You..I'm sorry what is your name?"

"Leonard Church." Church muttered and unwillingly moved his bag off the desk.

"Great. Take a seat next to Leonard."

-

"Hi." The girl next to him grinned. "My names Kaikaina Grif!"

"Hey.." Church replied trying not to wince at the extreme cheerfulness.

"I can't believe I went to the wrong room..and on the first day too. I was so sure I was in with that Sarge guy like Dex was.."

Church closed his eyes as the girl continued to talk. Why was he always stuck next to the idiots?

It took Flowers a bit of time to collect everyone's students dues much to Church's annoyance. For some reason they had to stay before going to go get their lockers. All the ones not in the druggie hallways were going to be gone soon.

"Now before I let you go." Mr. Flowers was saying as he stood in front of the class. "We here at-"

Once again he was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Hey, dude. Got two new students for yah."

Mr. Flowers smiled as he looked over at the door."That's wonderful news Vic. Now who are you two?"

"O'Malley Arthur-Ives and Allison Beth." The Vice Principal replied. "They transfered here from the Academy."

Church glanced up quickly at the last name. Sure enough Tex was standing in the doorway of the room, next to some guy with spiky black hair. Tex looked the same as when he'd last seen her two months ago, when she told him she was going to be coming here for the school year.

"Well if you two will take a seat. I'll collect your fee's after we're finished."

"Sounds good. Have fun dudes." The vice principal nodded and walked off.

Church looked back to Tex. She was looking over at the girl sitting next to him then back to him. When he caught her eyes she seemed to glare at him and walked to the back of the room closely followed by O'Malley.

Church looked back in confusion and saw the smirk on O'Malley's face as he did so. Leaning over, the teen whispered something to Tex and Church turned quickly looking over at Mr. Flowers.

"Dude, she has a boyfriend?" Tucker whispered forwards trying not to get the teachers attention. "When did that happen?"

"Shut up." Church muttered leaning against his hand ignoring his friend. He pretended he was listening to Mr. Flowers talk but really he was trying to understand what the hell was going on.

It had taken a good twenty minutes before Mr. Flowers finished talking to them and let them go get their lockers. Because of this they managed to get lockers in the worst part of the school.

"I knew we we're going to be in the druggie hallway." Tucker groaned. "This sucks. I wanted to see where the cheerleaders were-"

Church ignored Tucker's rambling as he looked at the paper with his locker number on it. 008, wow the single diets...it must be really far back.

"This is not going to be a fun walk." Church muttered as they finally reached the lockers.

"Yeah, this sucks." Tucker sighed. "We're like in the back of the fucking school." He glanced down at the paper again and began to open his lock.

A few minutes past.

"It's quiet." Caboose put in with a hopeful smile.

"Of course it's quiet." Church shot back. "There's no on else here."

"Oh..." Caboose looked down at his lock. "Well I like it. I just-"

Church rolled his eyes and walked over. "Here." In a moment he had Caboose's locker open.

"Thanks man."

"Right...why do I have a feeling I'm going to be spending most of the year doing this."

"Because you did last year?" Tucker put in as he pulled at his own lock.

"Oh, yeah. Caboose this year we're teaching you how to use one of these things."

"Bow-chicka-bow-wow.."

"Tucker what did I say about that?"

Tucker just laughed. "Aw come on man...crap." Something fell to the ground. "Well there goes my lock."

"You have got to be kidding me." Church looked over to see Tucker's lock on the floor. The front had fallen off.

"Man this sucks." Tucker picked up the pieces. "Now I have to go find some office person before we leave."

"We?"

"Oh, come on. You live across the street from me!"

"So? Why should I wait? You broke the lock."

"I hate you."

"Fine." Church chuckled. "I'll wait."

"Me too." Caboose nodded quickly as he managed to put the lock back on his locker.

"Sure." Tucker turned and started to walk down the hallway.

"Don't take too long though." Church yelled after him, Tucker just kept walking.

"Yeah...this is going to take a while." Church looked back to his locker.

"Why does he take so long?" Caboose asked as he walked over next to Church.

"Probably stops to flirt with everyone."

-

A while later a sharp voice came from around the corner as two teens walked into sight.

"It's bad enough you follow me here-" Tex was saying. "You don't have-" She glanced to her side and stopped walking. "Church?"

"Tex?" Church looked over from his locker. "What are you doing here?"

"Locker..." Tex held up a piece of paper with 009 written on it.

"Oh..." There was an uneasy pause as Church glanced over to the boy standing next to her. Tex seemed to notice this.

"Oh yeah. Church, this is O'Malley. He was in the same school I just left. O'Malley this is m-... these are some friends of mine. Church and Caboose."

"Pleased to meet you." O'Malley replied, smirk still on his face.

"Hey..." Church nodded.

"Hello!" Caboose grinned. "I saw you in class today!"

"Yes." O'Malley replied with a raised eyebrow. "I suppose you did."

Tex walked over to the locker next to Church as O'Malley was talking to Caboose.

"So what do you think of it so far?" Church asked as Tex started at her lock.

"Of what?"

"The school, Mr. Flowers...stuff."

Tex shrugged and replied in cold tone. "School's a dump, Flowers is annoying, stuff is boring." She pulled the locker open. "Same as every school."

"Right. So who's that guy?"

She glanced to where he was pointing over at O'Malley. "I told you. Some guy from my old school. He was in a few classes with me."

"Why'd he transfer here?"

"Because he wanted to?" Tex replied as she rolled her eyes. "I don't know." She paused as she put a backpack in her locker. "Speaking of that, who's the girl you were sitting with in English?"

Church paused. "What..? I don't know, Kiki...kikania or something. She came in late to class. Tuckers been going on about her for a while."

"He should be pleased then." Tex said, in lighter tone and Church relaxed slightly. "Where is he anyway?"

"Broke his lock."

Tex chuckled. "I thought it'd be Caboose who broke his first."

"Yeah, that is surprising."

"Ready to go Allison?" O'Malley had walked over and was standing next to them.

"Right..." Tex smile dropped. "I have to go and fill out some more transfer papers. I'll see you in class I guess."

Church nodded. "Right...I'll...I'll save a seat for you?" He almost winced at his own words. However Tex just smirked. "Sure."

O'Malley frowned as they walked off and Church just shook his head.

"I like them." Caboose walked over.

"Caboose you already know Tex...and wait O'Malley?"

"He was very nice to me."

"You talked to him for a minute."

Caboose nodded. "He was very nice in that minute."

"Right." Church sighed and closed his locker..Tex..they weren't going out why should he care.

A moment later Tucker came running down the hallway.

"Hey guys you'll never guess who I just saw!"

Church sighed again...this was going to an interesting year.
