Beast Boys' Story

"I still think Mr. Halo over reacted" Gar mumbled under his breath. Gar "Garfield" Logan sat (for the 3rd time that week) in the Detention Center. A place they sent kids caught skipping (or planting stink bombs in teacher's desks in Garfield's case) for the day.

Gar was a strange kid. He'd admit to that. He grew up in a strict "serious as a heart attack" type family, if you could call it that. And it probably didn't help that he had green skin, hair, and eyes. Not to mention the pointy white fangs that stuck out of his mouth sometimes even when it was closed. When you looked like that you had to make people laugh with you before they laughed at you.

So of course most teachers thought he was a trouble maker… Which he was… But can you blame him? This is high school. Only the strongest survived, and the funny could at least die laughing. Being short and green Gar was often given nicknames like; Leprechaun, Short Stack, Turtle, the Frog, and Toad. But he had learned a long time ago just to laugh it off.

Gar looked up when he heard the door open. A girl with orange skin, red hair, and dark green eyes walked into the room. She sat down in a nearby chair. He grinned, glad for the company. "Hey, I'm Gar." Gar said introducing himself. He stood up from the desk and walked over to where she sat. "What's your name?" he asked.

"My name is Kory. And at the moment, I'd appreciate it if you just left me alone." She answered, burying her face in her arms.

"It's not fun being alone." He encouraged. "So what are you in for anyway?"

"Skipping class and going onto the roof" Kory answered, looking up at him.

"Why would you do that? You don't look the type." Gar asked as he took a seat next to her.

"My sister, Manny… she was with me. But when the principal foundus she… did the jetting and I was the only one caught" Kory explained.

"Your own sister left you like that? Why do you hang out with her?"

"I do not know. She is my sister. She is cool"

"Well she doesn't sound very cool to me. She sounds like a jerk."

Kory slumped down in her seat. "She is not so bad. You just have to get to know her."

"She's still a jerk."

Gar looked up at the clock. "Well, my times up. I'll see you later, k?"

Kory nodded and looked back down at her desk. Gar stood to his feet and walked out of the room. "Poor kid." he thought.
