Chapter 03: Classes are now in session.
It is now 6AM and the alarm Mantha's and Zoe's clock went off to some indie music. Mantha turned off the alarm as both girls yawn to wake up. "Morning." They both said it to each other at the same time. "Man that was some party yesterday." Zoe contemplated.
"Yeah, what a way to start a day." Mantha stretch to get the kinks out, but her hand fell off. "Darn." She put it back on again.
Zoe just chuckle a bit. "Come on, if we hurry, we can get to the food court before they ran out of breakfast burritos."
"Last one there gets cold oatmeal." Mantha wagered and the two girls gather their clothes and bath products head to the showers.
The food court was in high speed for the breakfast crowd when many of the students went to different vendors. A lot of them are mom and pop places and local franchises. All of the procceeds go to the school. When Mantha and Zoe got what they wanted, Mantha quickly found her friends along with some new kids. Ra is with Archie, and Casper with some other ghost who looks like Casper, except he has a black nose, some freckles, is wearing a black boulder hat.
Casper was waving at Mantha and Zoe to join them and the girls headed to that direction.
"Hey you two, glad that you both made it," Casper said.
"Hey, Casper." Said Mantha and Zoe in unison.
"I did like you to meet my cousin Spooky." Casper gestured to the ghost boy next to him.
"Hey, nice to meet ya." Spooky greeted.
"Hi," Mantha said, "I'm Mantha."
"I'm Zoe." Said Zoe.
"Spooky is my roommate and is looking after me." Casper told his friends.
"Cool!" Said Mantha.
"Yeah, when Casper's uncles told my mom about what those headmasters did to him, she was mad beyond belief." Spooky told everyone.
"That's great!" Said Mantha. She was glad Casper now had a relative to keep her and Ra with keeping Casper out of trouble.
"So what do you guys have for your first period classes?" Archie asked.
Everyone pulled out their schedules and started comparing them. "I got Culinary and my Uncle Fatso is teaching that class. So it would be great to being with him again, along with my two more uncles." Casper was really looking forward for his first class.
"I got commercial graphics. So it looks like I'll be learning on how to make commercials." Archie guessed.
"Hey me too," Spooky told Archie, "guess yous and me we'll be in the advertising business."
"That would be fun." Archie and Spooky had good laugh.
Casper just smiled. It's nice to see his cousin getting along with a human.
"I got sculpture. That doesn't sound too bad, at least I'll be working with my hands." Mantha's hands just fell out. Zoe helped her put them back on. "Thanks, Zoe."
"No problem." Zoe returned with a smile.
"You guys are lucky, I got weaving fabrics." Ra is not too excited.
Casper gave Ra a sympathetic smile.
Zoe was the last to tell about her first period class. "I got jewelry design. Awesome, I like making my own jewelry."
"Cool!" Said Mantha.
"Well I guess that's it for first period. Lets hurry and finish our breakfast before time is up." Casper advised.
The kids finished eating and went their separate ways. First Period: In Commercial Graphics, Archie and Spooky were talking about how interesting this class will be, then Spooky spotted someone familiar. "Hey, check out who's here." Archie looked where Spooky was directing at. He sees Slither sitting a few desks away from them, along with his roommate Sanjay who is next to him. "Are you talking about those two?" "Yeah, well, the snake guy I remembered. I think his name is Slither. My cousin Casper told me about him." Spooky went into detail. "He used to hang around some guy named Thatch." Then he showed Archie Sanjay. "And I think that kid next to him must be his new roommate. I don't think those two looked happy with each other." "Well I guess they're haven't gotten used to each other yet." Said Archie. "They'll just need time to adjust." Spooky shrugged. He really didn't care about Slither's problems. He didn't care about anyone who bullied his cousin. Archie and Spooky decided to let them be. - Thatch is his first period class which is computer art, and it turns out he quite enjoys it, although he does have to share it with his former scare school schoolmates, who just happen to be Blodge and Triclops, and they are still getting used to Thatch not bullying anyone. Blodge however seems to have a little difficulty with his computer since he has no arms and hands. Thatch went over to Blodge. Blodge thought that Thatch was going to tease him about it, but instead, Thatch turned on the computer for him. No jokes about his lack of limbs, no cheap shots at his green gooey exterior. Blodge was actually surprised by his small good deed.
"Ugh, thanks?" Blodge said hesitantly. He expected Thatch to pull a prank on him anytime.
Triclops glared at Thatch with a mix of curiosity and disgust.
Thatch tries to ignore Triclops staring at him. He knows that it will be a long time before he could ever earned any one's trust. He could have said that Blodge can't operate the computer because he has no hands, but that would make things worst for him.
Casper was happy with his Culinary class because it means he gets to spend some time with Uncle Fatso, along with some other students who's names starts with C and U, including the fairy princess named Charma, Hotstuff's girlfriend. "Hi Charma, it's been a while."
"Casper, it's so good to see you!" Charma greeted Casper with a huge hug. "I've heard what happen over at Deeds Town. Are you alright? Did you get hurt?"
"I'm fine, thanks for asking." Casper chuckled. "So how are you and Hotstuff are doing?"
"Oh he's still a little rascal, but that's part of his charm." Charma blushed.
Casper gave another chuckle. "Maybe we can introduce him to Thatch. I'm sure those two will get a long just fine."
Just then Fatso entered the class room. "Morning, class." Fatso greeted. "Morning Mr. Fatso." The class returned the greeting, including Casper so that no one would think that Fatso was going to show favoritism.
"Today we are going to make our own homemade hamburgers." Said Fatso. The kids cheered. "First of all we have to wash our hands."
The class did as instructed. "Now we gather our ingredients: grounded beef, minced onions, salt, pepper, bread crumbs, and chopped up green peppers."
The kids gathered the ingredients and utensils. They divided in two groups and placed the ingredients on the kitchen's steel tables.
Casper worked on the meat while Charma took care of the onions and green peppers. She wasn't even done chopping the second onion before she felt her eyes started to burn. She had to stop every five second to dry her eyes with a napkin.
"Are you okay, Charma." Asked Casper.
"Yeah, it's these onions that are making my eyes water." Charma reassured him.
Casper glanced at the other groups. He could see that those who also chopped onions had the same problem as Charma.
"Maybe I should provide everyone goggles next time." Fatso reminded himself as his students have to tough it out.
Dummy Girl is taking first period design class, but wasn't too happy being there. It was mostly have humans, including that Daniel Smith kid. "Why did I get stuck in this class?" She asked herself out loud.
"All schools have boring classes," Said the boy who was sitting next to her, "I'm Dean by the way."
Dummy Girl wasn't impress. "So what's it to ya?"
"Nothing much, just trying to not fall asleep from boredom." Said Dean.
"Like I cared." Dummy Girl humphed. Ever since Thatch sided with the humans, she has gain some trust issues about vampires.
Dean rolled his eyes at her rudeness.
Wolfie's class is drawing, where Stretch is teaching, and one of his classmates is cute little witch in red."Hi, I'm Wolfie."
"Hi, my name is Wendy." The little witch girl introduced herself.
"You are Casper's witch friend aren't you?" Wolfie asked, trying to find a subject to talk about.
"Yeah, he and I go way back." Wendy replied.
"Awesome, he sometimes talks about you and this other guy named Hot Stuff." Wolfie confide.
"That's great! When ever Casper comes over to the Enchanted Realm, he talks about you guys from Scare School." Wendy admitted.
"That's great!" Said Wolfie.
"So what brings you here to the Academy?" Wendy asked.
"Well, I thought this school was really cool so I promised my parents that if they let me study here I would study a lot more than I did at Scare School." Said Wolfie. "What about you?"
"After what my aunts heard about what happened at Scare School, they would rather have me attend here than to be around Alder and Dash." Wendy answered.
"You live with your aunts?" Asked Wolfie.
"Uh-huh, they're like Casper's uncles." Wendy answered.
"Cool!" Said Wolfie.
The two just smiled at each other.
In film class, Flyboy was having trouble with operating a film camera until a young male vampire who bore a striking resemblance of Thatch showed him how.
"Thanks Thatch." Said Flyboy.
"Who's Thatch?" The vampire asked.
Flyboy took a good look at the vampire and noticed he had red tips in his white stripped hair.
"Oh sorry, you look like somebody else." He apologized.
"It's okay, I get that a lot. The name's Fatch." Fatch extended his hand.
"Mine's Flyboy." He and Fatch shook hands.
"So what do you think of this class?" Asked Flyboy, who was trying to find a subject to talk about.
"I find it therapeutic." Fatch answered while inspecting his film.
"Therapeutic?" Asked Flyboy.
"It relaxes me." Fatch explained.
"That's nice." Said Flyboy. He was suddenly curious about this boy but decided not to push the matter on.
In Home Furnishing class, Gill was getting used to using the tools thanks to the help of a human boy named Glenn Thompson.
"Thanks for your help." Said Gill.
"No biggie." Replied Glenn.
"This class is so boring," Said Gill, "I don't know if I can keep up with all those classes."
"It's not so bad, at least we get work with tools." Glenn reassured.
Gills just shrugged.
Natellie was happy to be teaching first period music, even though that all of her students have names started with 'I'. The first lesson; "Doe, Ray, Me, Fa, So, La, Tee, Doe." Her class vocalized.
"Very good." Natellie praised.
Mantha was enjoying sculpting class. It's wasn't often she got to work with her hands, especially when she took them off for making details. She had to share the class the Mickey, Monaco and Mosshead but at least Micky's human roommate is good for conversation.
"That looks great." Said Marla Sanchez.
"Thanks!" Said Mantha as she worked on the details for her zombie heart sculpture, "So I hear that you're Mickey's roommate."
"Yeah, she is a lot nicer than she looks." Said Marla.
"Really?"
"Sure. She may act materialistic but deep down she has some good bones." Marla.
Then Mantha noticed a boy over the right hand corner. He looked like a ghost but his face was like a skull and he was wearing different gray shades of clothing. He was working on an eye sculpture.
"Say, who's that?." Asked Mantha.
"Ooh, that's Miguel La Llorona-Sombreron." Mickey stepped in.
"He is, like, the cutest guy in this class." Monaco gushed a bit.
"Is that all?" Mantha asked while trying not to act all that interested.
"Well, his mother is one of the food court vendors and she owns a second restaurant in the city." Said Marla.
"I also hear rumors that Casper's uncle Fatso has a crush on her but he is too shy to talk to her." Said Mickey.
"Like that is so adorable." Monaco squealed a bit, which got Miguel's attention as he turned his head to the girls.
Mantha, Marla, and the Skeletwins quickly went back to their projects. Miguel stared at them for a minute before getting back to work on his own sculpture.
"So what else do you know about him?." Mantha whispered, hoping that Miguel couldn't hear them.
"Well, his parents are divorced." Said Marla.
"Divorced?"
"Yeah, his dad is like some kind of womanizing sprite. Always serenading to younger females, braiding their hair, and putting dirt on their food." Said Mickey.
"I guess his mother had enough of his antics. Can't say I blame her though." Said Monaco.
"Poor guy." Said Mantha. She couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
"Ah don't worry, Mantha. I'm sure he won't turn out like his father." Mickey playfully teased.
Mantha gave the skeleton girl a dirty look and Mickey did her best to smirk considering she had no lips.
Ra was now in his weaving class and he discovered that it wasn't as bad as he thought.
"Well, at least this class is easy." Said Ra as he sewed an Egyptian skirt for himself. This one was red like that of Hot Rod Ramses.
One of his classmates is Thatch's roommate Richard.
Ra was now in his weaving class and he discovered that it wasn't as bad as he thought.
"Well, at least this class is easy." Said Ra as he sewed a shendyt for himself. This one was red like that of Hot Rod Ramses.
One of his classmates was Thatch's roommate Richard, who was making what seemed to be a black trench coat.
Ra stared at the boy with curiosity. He was the only one who was sitting alone and not chattering with classmates like everybody else was doing.
"Why is that guy all by himself?" Ra asked to himself.
Richard then noticed he was being observed. His eyes met Ra's with a look that clearly said "What are you looking at?"
Ra quickly went back to his project.
Before the students knew it, it was lunch time. As soon as the bell rang the students practically ran to the food court, hungry and exhausted and eager to see their friends who took different classes.
Casper's gang were eager to reunite and share how their day was going so far, although they had a hard time looking for each other as there were too many kids. When he couldn't find Mantha and Ra by flying he decided to wait for them in the food court and find a table before there was more place.
Once they reached the food court the students gasped at the sight before them. The food court was ten times larger than Scare School's cafeteria with each section divided by continents of the food origins. European/Mediterranean contains Italian, French, Greek, British, Scottish, Irish, Polish, German/Austrian, Russian, Spanish, Swiss, and Romanian. Asian has Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Indian. African has Egyptian/Arabic, Moroccan, Ethiopian, Somalian and Nigerian food. Food from Australia. North America; USA, Canadian, Hawaiian, and Alaskan. Last is Central/South America with Mexican, Brazilian, Puerto Rican, Jamaican, and Caribbean.
"Casper!" Said a voice that Casper recognized as Mantha's.
Casper turned to his left to find Mantha standing not too far from him.
"How is everything going?" Asked Casper.
"Good," Said Mantha, "Sculpting class was kind of fun."
"Great," Said Casper, "So was cooking class."
"Speaking of which, what do you feel like for lunch today?" Mantha asked.
Casper was going to answer until he saw his uncle Fatso over at the Mexican section. He seemed a bit nervous as he tried to engage in conversation with a ghost woman. She had black soulless eyes and brown hair, she wore a dark grey hooded cape over a grayish blue blouse.
"Um...Hola, Ms. La Llorona." Fatso greeted with a shy smile and blushing cheeks.
"Hola, Señor Fatso," Greeted Miguel's mother, better known as Magerita La Llorona, "What would you like for today?"
"Ugh..may-maybe some tacos." Said Fatso.
Fatso may be practically an authority when it comes to food but unfortunately he wasn't so good at talking to women. He had been wanting to talk to Ms. La Llorona for awhile but every time he did he panicked and backed off.
Mantha arched an eyebrow while Casper shook his head.
"So your uncle Fatso really does have a crush on Ms. La Llorona." Mantha confirmed.
"Let me guess, Mickey and Monaco."
"Well, yeah."
"Did you get a chance to meet her son Miguel?" Casper asked.
"Who him? I have him in pretty much all of my classes because both of our names start with 'M'." Mantha's cheeks just blush when she answered his question.
Casper noticed the blush on Mantha's cheeks. He sensed that Mantha may be interested in Miguel, but he decided to leave it alone for now.
"Well, he and I have been trying to get his mom and my uncle Fatso together for a long time." Said Casper.
"Really?"
"Sure. Now how about we get some Mexican, I'm in a mood for some Gorditas."
"Okay, I kind of want some flautas."
The duo grabbed trays and went to the Mexican section.
While the kids ordered their lunch, Fatso arrived at the teachers' table, along with his brothers and sister and their colleagues.
"You chickened out again, didn't you?" Stretch asked Fatso as he observed his brother's 100 taco order.
"Yeah." Fatso admitted while taking a bite of his first taco.
"Oh it's okay my dear brother." Said Natellie.
"Sis is right, Fatso. Magerita is bound to notice you." Said Stinky.
"By the rate he keeps stuffing himself, she will notice him by over the horizon." Vegeta spiked.
"Vegeta, that is not a nice thing to say." Said Goku.
"Unlike you, Kakorrot, I'm not afraid to speak the truth."
"Hey, we don't make fun of your brother's height." Said Stretch.
"Now now Stretch, let's not cause any trouble." Said Natellie.
"No no, he's right," Fatso sighed while bitting on his fifth taco, "Magerita is so beautiful, there's no way she'll go for me."
"Aw come on, don't be so hard on yourself." Said Lupin.
"Lupin's right, your a good guy." Said Hellboy.
"Yeah, why wouldn't she want to go out with you?" Goku asked.
"Well for starters, she's divorced, so it probably means that she wouldn't want to have anything to do with me." Said Fatso as he ate his tenth taco.
"Oh please, you're bound to be at least better than her ex-husband." Said 18 while picking through her salad.
Once they had their orders Casper and Mantha started looking around to try and find Ra. After five minutes Mantha finally spotted their mummy friend who already had food and was looking for a place to sit
"There he is," Said Mantha, "Ra!"
Ra turned around and sees his friends. "Hey guys, glad I found you two."
Casper and Mantha managed to catch up with Ra.
"I'm glad I spotted you. Can you believe this place?." Said Mantha.
"I know! It's awesome, right? They have just about everything. Look what I got." Ra showed them the food he got from the Egyptian portion of the food court. His tray contained Falafel, Hummus bi Tahina, Kofta, Roz meammar, Tehina salad, and for dessert, Bouzat haleeb.
"Wow Ra, those look so good." Said Casper.
"I know, we never have this stuff in Scare School."
"Come on, let's go find a table before our food gets cold." Said Mantha.
It didn't take long for them to find a table, which was located in the corner of the room. Ra automatically started looking around for Thatch as lunch time was the vampire boy's favorite time to bully his classmates even though Thatch had seemingly given up bullying.
Casper and his gang ate in silence until Casper decided to break the silence.
"So Ra, what did you think about your classes?" Casper asked.
"Well, weaving class was fun," Said Ra, "I saw a cool looking human boy but he glared at me when I looked at him."
"Did he have short black hair wearing dark glasses?" Casper assumed.
"Yeah, how did you know?" Ra gasped.
Ra was amazed about how Casper guessed right of his classmate, until Casper pointed several tables away and see Richard having lunch with Thatch.
"That's him!" said Ra, "Do you know who he is?"
"His name is Richard Griffin." Casper answered, "He's from Twilight Town."
It was Mantha's turn to ask.
"Okay, so what's he's doing with Thatch?"
"He's Thatch's roommate."
Mantha and Ra's jaws dropped when Casper said.
"Whoa! Hold on, Thatch has a human for a roommate?" Ra was flabbergasted.
"Yes, he does." Said Casper.
Now Ra is nervous since he has Richard in his other classes.
Casper noticed the worried look on Ra's face.
"What's wrong, Ra?" Asked Casper.
"That Richard is in all of my classes since our names starts with 'R'." Ra answered.
"Don't worry, Ra," Said Casper, "although it doesn't seem so Richard is nice."
"Considering that he is hanging out with Thatch." Mantha confided.
Ra remained unconvinced.
"If you say so."
"Come you guys, lets forget about them and enjoy our lunch."
Mantha and Ra did as Casper suggested.
Across the food court, Richard was telling Thatch about his day.
"And then this mummy kid kept staring at me in weaving class."
"You mean Ra? Ah don't worry about it. He maybe annoying but he's harmless." Thatch reassured his new friend while eating his Krovyanka(Blood Sausage).
"I still don't like it when someone stares at me like I'm a freak."
Thatch rolled his eyes.
Just then Alucard came walked by the two boys.
"Good afternoon, boys."
"Good afternoon Mr. Alucard." Richard and Thatch returned the greeting.
"I would like to remind you, Thatch, that you have your training with me after school today." Said Alucard.
"Yes, sir." Said Thatch.
"Excellent. See you later then."
With that Alucard walked away.
Unlike with the Scare School faculty, Thatch actually respected Alucard and the Guardian Academy teachers as Thatch wanted to be like him, and also out of fear sometimes.
"So how does Alucard treat you?" Asked Richard.
"A lot harder than my former teachers, but at least he doesn't ignore me nor turn me away." Said Thatch.
"Call me crazy but he seems to like you better than the rest of us."
"Well I got to admit, it's nice to get some attention for once."
Meanwhile on a table not too far from Thatch's sat Cecilia and Catcher with their aunt Vespa. Usually Catcher and Cecilia ate with their friends and Vespa with the school staff but sometimes they sat together to spend time as a family or discuss important matters.
"So what do you and Mr. Alucard have planned for Thatch's training session?" Cecilia asked Catcher.
"Well, Mr. Alucard wants to teach him Dark Composition." Said Catcher as he ate a taco.
"Don't talk with your mouth full, dear." Vespa gently admonished him.
"Sorry, Aunt Vespa."
"But that's too advanced for Thatch! He's still need to mastered shadow control." Cecilia debated.
Catcher shrugged. "I know but Mr. Alucard insists."
"I'm sure Mr. Alucard knows what he is doing." said Vespa as she eats her strawberry salad.
Cecilia remained unconvinced. "If you say so." She said.
"Relax, Sis. Mr. Alucard put him through a lot worst." Catcher said before he burped.
"Catcher!" Vespa scolded.
Flashback
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Thatch shot three times at the target with his 9mm. Not too long after learning hand-to-hand combat Alucard decided it was the perfect time to teach Thatch how to use guns. The older man has proven to be a very strict teacher, especially with Thatch for reasons Thatch did not understand.
Alucard frowned when he saw that only one of the bullets hit close to the target. He shook his head.
"Again." Alucard hissed.
If this was Scare School, Thatch would give sass and talk back but Alucard was different, he knew what he was doing, so Thatch did as he was told.
Seras was standing next to Alucard, feeling sorry for Thatch as he kept shooting the target.
"Sir, don't you think he has had enough? I mean the poor boy has been going at it for hours."
"He will keep doing so until he does it perfectly even if we have to stay here all night." Said Alucard.
Unfortunately, Thatch's hands were getting shaky and he dropped his gun, causing it to go off and shoot him in the foot.
Thatch howled in pain and fell on the floor, clutching his injured foot, which was starting to bleed.
Alucard was prepared to yell at Thatch for being careless with the gun but stopped dead in his tracks when he realized the boy accidentaly shot himself and he and Seras ran to Thatch's side.
"I TOLD YOU TO LET HIM REST!" Seras yelled at Alucard. "LOOK WHAT YOU DID!."
Seras picked up Thatch.
"I'll take him to the infirmary, you notify his family."
Alucard watches Seras carrying Thatch out of the training field.
"Oh boy, I'm going to get an earful from Vespa for this."
End flashback
Vespa's features hardened as she thought back on that terrible day. After making sure Thatch would be alright she yelled at Mr. Alucard until her throat was sore.
"I never saw you that angry before then." Said Catcher.
Well, the man should know better than to make your brother train for so long." Vespa said as she gorged on her salad.
"Careful Aunt Vespa, the last time you ate angry you nearly choked." Cecilia warned.
"You're right, dear." Said Vespa as she ate slowly.
On a table on the corner of the room sat Mosshead, Slither, Dummy Girl and Harpy. They discussed what to do now since they couldn't bully children anymore at the Guardian Academy, unlike Scare School, did not tolerate bullying and their former leader wanted nothing to do with them, leaving Dummy Girl and Slither to take turns in being the leader.
"This school bores me out of my mind." Slither grunted.
Mosshead nodded while Harpy did nothing. Unlike her 'friends' she actually liked Guardian Academy. Slither than noticed Dummy Girl glaring at Thatch, who was sitting far from them. The snake boy knew Dummy Girl wasn't exactly hurt for Thatch leaving them but was angry that they could no longer use him to get everyone to fear and respect them, that and the fact that Thatch shamed them in front of the entire school for using him. Now it would be impossible for them to find another top student to use.
"Dude, you need to get over it." Said Slither as he wrapped an arm around Dummy Girl and turned her to look at them. He tried to be careful when dealing with her as she was known for her fiery temper.
Dummy Girl snorted and swatted away Slither's tentacle.
"Sure, that's easy for you to say! Just look at him, getting all chummy with his new friend, and a fleshie of all things!."
Harpy squawked.
"Harpy's right, you shouldn't let this bother you." Mosshead translated.
Slither and Dummy Girl were surprised by how well Mosshead spoke for Harpy.
"Whoa Dude! You can like really understand what Harpy is saying?" Slither asked.
"Well, since our former leader is no longer in the gang I have to learned Harpy's language. It's not so bad once you get used to it."
Slither and Dummy Girl were rather impressed as they didn't think Mosshead would be smart enough to learn another language, let alone one as difficult as Harpy's.
"Anyways, let me remind you that thanks to Thatch, everybody ignores us and nobody fears or respect us." Said Dummy Girl. Just saying Thatch's name left a bad taste in her mouth.
"Lets not forget that we're the reason why Thatch doesn't want to be with us anymore." Replied Slither.
"And let's not forget that Thatch treated us as his servants and used us to do his dirty work for him," Dummy Girl retorted, "Not to mention that we were targets for his pranks along with everyone else like the fiasco with the camera."
"What about those times we abandoned him?" Slither asked.
"Do you think he would've helped us if we got in trouble? And you can't compare abandoning him with him trapping us in pictures for LIFE!." she replied, her voice rising.
"Well what would you do if the roles were reverse?"
Dummy Girl arched an eyebrow.
"What do you mean with that?"
"I think Slither means what would you do if you were Thatch." Said Mosshead.
"Well I wouldn't treat you like the way Thatch treated you."
"No, you'd be worst." Slither snickered.
Dummy Girl punched him in the arm. It wasn't hard enough to leave a bruise but enough to cause pain.
"Besides, didn't Thatch admitted that he was weak and not scary?" Mosshead reminded them.
Dummy Girl rolled her eyes.
"He was overreacting. He managed to terrorize nearly all of our classmates at Scare School."
Harpy squawked again.
"Harpy says 'that's because he had us.'" Mosshead translated.
"That's not true. He managed to scare fleshies just fine without us."
"He didn't scare that cat that one time." Slither reminded her.
"Cats are animals they don't understand what vampires are."
"But didn't Prof. Burns gave him an F for that?" Mosshead remembers.
"That's because our former teachers are idiots."
"So are we." Said Slither.
Dummy Girl glared at Slither.
"No, we are not or at least I'm not."
"Now that's ironically funny since the word 'dummy' is in your name." Slither smirked.
Dummy Girl was now livid. She charged at Slither and started punching him with all her might. She was small but strong enough to cause considerable damage.
Slither tried to fight her off while Mosshead and Harpy pleaded for them to stop. The students around them watched the fight, some were shocked and others amused.
"Guys, please quit it! You both will get us into trouble!" Said Mosshead.
Two teachers appeared to break them up.
"All right that's enough!" Blade shouted as he and Setsuna pulled Slither and Dummy Girl away from each other.
"He started it!" Dummy yelled as she tried to pry the teacher's fingers off of her.
"Did not!" Slither yelled back.
"I don't care who started it! Both of you report to the headmaster's office right now!" Blade demanded.
"I'll escort them to Sir Wallace Crumble." Setsuna volunteered as she lead Slither and Dummy Girl out of the food court. She held Slither by the shoulder and Dummy Girl by the hand like a small child to keep her from escaping.
"Don't grab my hand! I'm not a little girl!"
"Behave. You are in a lot of trouble already, young lady."
As Slither and Dummy Girl walked out of the food court, Mosshead and Harpy kept their heads down to avoid looking at Blade in the eye.
"Okay, there's nothing more to see here. Just finish eating." Blade said to the students who were watching them before walking away from the scene.
Unknown to the gang, Thatch and Richard saw the whole thing.
"I can't believe you used to be friends with those two." Said Richard.
"They weren't that bad when I was their leader." Thatch replied.
"Seems that you ditching your former gang has really affected them."
Thatch looked down at his food.
"I always thought they'd be happier without me, considering what I did to them."
"You mean that whole photo trapping thing?" Said Richard.
Thatch winced. The vampire had told him that story not long ago, and Richard was grateful of not having crossed paths with Thatch back then.
"Yes, along with all those times when I was angry and took it out on them."
"But they never mind it." Said Richard.
"Apparently they did since left me alone whenever I was in trouble."
"But they always come back to you."
"Because our classmates at Scare School respected them as long as they were with me so we just used each other."
"Is that why you stopped hanging around them?"
"Yes. I think it's for the best for me and them."
"Hey, it's okay. Things will get better." Richard placed a hand on Thatch's shoulder and the vampire smiled at him.
Casper and his friends also saw what happened.
"Whoa. Never thought Dummy Girl would get that mad." Said Ra.
"And I thought Dummy Girl was all talk." Said Mantha.
"Apparently this is much harder on her than anyone else." Said Casper.
"It must hard for all of them." said Ra as he glanced at Mosshead and Harpy, who had gone back to eating with sad expressions on their faces.
"I feel so bad for them." Mantha replied.
"Well, I don't. It's pretty clear that they just used Thatch and me too when I was rich." Said Ra.
"Remember, Thatch also used you too when you thought you were turning into a vampire." Casper reminded his mummy friend.
"Yes, I remember," Said Ra as he looked away in embarrassment, "At least karma always got to him."
"Us too, like that time when we got Frankengymteacher think he was invisible." Mantha remembered that moment.
"He was always mean to us so he deserved it." Said Ra.
"But we almost got him fired." Casper told him.
Ra thought on a comeback when he remembered the time Alder and Dash were temporarily fired by Kibosh and their replacement, Master Blister turned out to be much worse. He certainly wouldn't wanted to go through that again.
"I guess it would've been worse." Ra shrugged.
"Besides, we deserved that detention." Said Mantha and Casper agreed.
Ra rolled his eyes but said nothing.
And so they return eating their lunch.
