Part 4 alright! I'm so happy with this story even though it's life hasn't been that long but I'm liking where it's going. Ah I forgot to mention that the way the story looks, it could ether be CG or the cartoon, which ever you fnd easier to picture it.
"Okay, this is getting a bit much now" Gala began to squirm under all the attention her hair was getting. All of the ghouls around her were sharing their thoughts of they want to do with this mass of mouse blonde locks.
"Alright, that's enough. I'm sorry ghouls" She just managed to get out but not heard, the mare took in a small breath and let out a sharp horse snap that was ear piecing to the ghouls around her "WHOA! Easy ghoul!" Lagoona cried, covering her ears, all the other ghouls had similar reactions, after their hearing had returned they all turned to the sunken shamed mare, who's ear were flopped down "Um, sorry about that, but urr I don't really do well in crowds. Well most of my kind don't" She looked down, twiddling her index fingers.
"Man, I think you could even challenge Cleo and Opaerta in the vocals match" Draculra stated, even Cleo herself agreed and very often she didn't really agree with anything that was better than her.
"Louder then yeti back home. Why you do dat?"
"I think it was because we're all over her? We're super sorry" Frankie apologized bowing her head.
"No, no I'm sorry for snapping" She waved her hand slowly showing that she was okay with it, but she had an awarded smile on, she was a little embarrassed of herself after all. She mentally slapped herself in the face "Idiot! What a great impression. Now their just gonna think your some crazy wild horse that's gets spooked at everything" She lowered her head so her mane hid her redden face and listened to bubbling voices of the other ghouls.
"Listen Gala, like Frankie said we're sorry about what we did, alright?" Laggona apologized again on all the ghouls behalf, the mare had a feeling that they weren't going to accept that she was in the wrong so she dropped her excuse to them and let her long forelock cover half of her face again.
A sound of a sweet accepted silence fell on their table with the only in the back round talking from the other monsters that were in the crepatria that day that making talking and clattering of trays noises, a few seconds passed when something broke it.
A deep rumbling came from two of the ghouls "Heh sorry ghouls" The werewolf said bashfully with her ears folded down of embarrassment as she look in the opposet direction "I too apologize" Gala to had her ears lowed and folded close to her head with her face bowed down slightly with a small smile gracing her lips "Ahh you don't need to, I'll show ya where to get ya food. Follow me ghoul" Claweden offered.
Gala got up from her sit and went up to her new werewolf friend, not having that fear of Claweden eatting her any more. Just before the two female monster went off Claweden turned around to the others "Hey don't you girls want anything?"
"No thank you, we brought our own today" Cleo replied not before primping her hair and straightening her diamond incrusted headband and getting out and golden and emerald green beelte lunchbox, Abbey had some ice popciles, Frankie had brought with her some fired chicken wings and some veg, Draculra had carrots and other veg, oh Gala nearly drooled at the sight of yummy looking carrot they were favorite treat but quickly shook her head and Lagoona had some of her salt water kelp.
Seeing that the others were fine with their food, Claweden took Gala by the arm and began to walk her to the stack of dull grey trays "Maybe now might the good time to say sorry for her getting into detention" The though quickly grazed her mind but before she could say those words into reality, Claweden had already begun speaking her voice.
"Um Listen, I'm sorry if I gave you the impression that I was gonna eat ya, at first I didn't understand why you said that until I saw your face, I guess you or your kind might of had some bad experience with wolves before huh?" The she-wolf apologized with folded ears and gave a slight puppy whine.
The young filly was surprised, she was the one who was going to say sorry for her getting in detention because of flame boy, she really was well taken back "Well, urr I um. Well actually I was going to say sorry about you getting in trouble, if only I had spoken up you maybe not need to be there" Gala turned her head away in guilt.
A warm graced Claweden's muzzle and she slid her arm around to Gala's left shoulder, giving the mare a shiver "Hey it's okay, It's not the first time name I've been in detention and it won't be the last, just don't worry about it. After all we wouldn't want you worrying on your first day" Those words seem to comfort Gala right down for her to relief a big sigh.
Her attention was drawn back to the food, who their smell, scents and aromas that took affect on her nostrils, they soon themselves flared up to take in as much of the smells that they could, but at the same time her stomach was crying to be fed "Come on, let's get some food in ya" She chuckled.
The sliver, slight rusty and grubby food display had a wide verity of food that bubbled and when they burst there was a thick jet of steam was let out and partly clouded the glass above that held treats and other puddings.
Gala looked around for a food that she found eatable for her spices but so far all the items had been meat or had meat mixed with veg "Hey of your looking for veg and fruit, it's over there" Claweden pointed over to a salad bar, that had a few monsters around it.
One was a light green skinned colour ghoul, who had thin vines wrapped around her lower arms and was intertwining with her fingers. Her hair was half shaven off while the side that hair was a loud pink and green, she sort of looked like a punk rock star. Gala could also see that she was wearing a torn up jean jacket with no sleeves but other then that Gala didn't know what was on her.
Dracula had gone up with Lagoona for some extra helpings. But the last monster stopped Gala in her tracks. It was Manny! She couldn't go over there, he couldn't let him see her, not with her face shown. She had froze on the spot with her eyes glued onto the back of Manny's head, it wasn't until a voice from behind made her come back to earth.
"Are you just gonna stand there or go get something?" Gala nearly lept 4 feet in the air before turning around clutching her metal tray close to her chest "W-w-wha? Oh um well, I-I can't up there, because of...him" She murmblered under her breath only pointed her finger in the direction of the of golden bull. A bit confused Claweden wasn't sure why Gala was acting like this, it was just Manny. Unless he had...no! The she-wolf's eyes became two very narrow slits "Alright I know Manny is a bully but taking the piss and pick out of Gala and on her first day to. That's low even for Manny!" Her lips twitched, wriggled and pulsated in time with her growls as her stared at the unsuspecting minotaur, who was soon to be her pray.
Gala had a bad feeling of what was going to happen so she quickly glided her hooves across the hard gray floor that had a few food stanes on it for who knows how long they have been there for.
"No no no, Claweden, it's not like that. Manny hasn't done anything to me. It's just...it's just, well..." She tried to think of something to say but her words just trailed off and became sounds and mumbles "Then why are you so flinchy around him, I hope your not gonna be like this for the whole year" Snarled Claweden, her eyes had dilated back to the round pupils but she was still ready to pounce on the bull if anything did happen.
"Well um..."Gala sighed giving a quick glance back him to make sure he hadn't turned around yet, seeing that Manny still had his back to them choosing his food. Grapping the metal with her teeth and ignoring the look of confusion and disgust from Claweden, Gala pulled her hood back up and over until her face was eclipsed but this she didn't bother with tucking her hair in.
"Tut, again with the hood, already Gala? You've only have it off for 20 minutes" She questioned still a bit disgusted by the holding the tray in her mouth "I xain in a oent" Gala tried to say but all she got was a confused wolf.
Claweden titled her head to the side and with a very puzzled expression place on her face in failure to understand what on earth Gala had just said "Come again now?" She asked hopping that I would be clearer.
Taking the grey tray out of her mouth, she repeated the sentence that she previously tried to get out "I'll explain in a moment" Getting a nod from Claweden in understanding "Now please put something in there, you growling louder than my brother on bath day. Do your horses get like this when their hungry" She smirked but Gala snorted in protest.
"Not all of us" She mumbled, she then proceeded to the salad bar, but as she got closer her heart rate began to race up ten fold, clutching her tray closer to her hidden muzzle she could feel her palms getting sweater. Oh how she wished her brother was here, he had no fear off anything from what she seen growing up together.
Gala did have her reasons why she was acting like this, sure the feud of her kind and minotaurs had ended two thousand years ago there were still a few of them that still didn't trust one another and some even fume at the mere mention the other monsters name, Gala wasn't one of them nor was her family, she just wasn't sure about Manny. She released that the best way to deal with this was to get her food from the far opposite side of the bar.
"Oh come on now, Manny's not that bad...unless your a normie or a zombie he's alright. Oh and also don't be seen in red in front of him or he'll charge" That last one got Gala's attention "What?" She squeaked.
"For some reason his kind or it's just him, red just makes them go crazy" Claweden explained but something wasn't right the filly's mind "Then why dose he where it?" She asked cocking her head to the side in wondered "I have no idea" Then a thought stuck her "Hey I know, why don't you asked him" Claweden smirked.
Gala pretended not to hear that idea and grasped some carrot sticks and other salad dressing, she was hoping that this place may have some hay or something like it, her eyes scanned the table for some and right at the end there was a large batch of the dried grass which was good in one way but bad in one other way because they were at the end with Manny.
"Oh great" Gala complained, she so much wanted that food so much but her feet won't move forward "Do you want a little push?" The sassy tone of voice whispered behind her "Could you?" She joked and Claweden playful pushed her a few steps but when Gala turned facing the bull the joke had ended, swallowing the worry she shakily began to move her hooves forward, taking care not to make much noise.
Claweden watch her new friend go, soon after her highly sensitive nose caught a sent that made the hackles on the back of her neck stand up in fury, from what she was feeling for Manny earlier was nothing compared to what she was feeling right because that scent belong to one of her most hated enemies. Toralei.
"Meow, how's my favorite dog" A pearly but slightly slutty tone before licking the back of her hand to groom her face "Who's the new kid?" Her bright amber eyes sparkled when talked. Claweden's lips rippled in anger and trying so hard not to peice her gums with her fangs "Not of your fleawax, cat" She growled but her anger only the tabby feline enjoy this more "Ohhh, why so snappy puppy" She teased and stroked the werewolf's chin playful, it took all of Claweden will, not to bite off her fingers or whole hand.
"Why don't you talk pup?" The feline meow in her pearly tone, Claweden knew that Toralei wasn't going to leave her or Gala alone for the rest of the day, she had to give in.
Claweden sighed "If I tell you, do you promise to leave us alone" The red tabby purred in delight "Of course".
"Her name is Gala and she seems very scared of going near Manny" A bad gut feeling had appered in a way that she shouldn't have the cat that last part.
"Hmm, to scared maybe I can help things...move along" Claweden's panic level shoot up and she went to grap Toralei's arm but the cat had already pounced right behind Gala.
Gala had not notice the new present that was near, she was to focus on the bull that was only two feet away, Manny was busy getting some side dressing. Manny the reached out for some hay as well as Gala both weren't looking until their hands bumped together, Gala sharply pulled her hand away from near his hand company and held it close to her chest stroking it gently with her fingertips.
"Huh? Hey it's you again" Manny started, his hand still reached out over the tray of hay, Gala didn't respond only giving a tiny nod and looking down at her hand, Manny pulled his hand back after gripping some of the dried grass "Oh do you want some? It's pretty good stuff" He pushed the hay box closer to her. Only using her eyes, Gala looked up at the minotaur and took a handful of hay "Thank you" She said shyly.
"Your welcome"
Toralei was listening from behind and rolled her eyes in boredom "This is soooo dragging, time for me to give a helping...push" She whisper to herself and gave a sinister smile to the horrified staring werewolf knowing clearly that she couldn't do anything because she won't be fast enough.
But she had to do something so she charged forward but the cat was to quick, Toralei grasped the back of Gala's hood and gave a sharp and hard shove on her back causing the filly to give cry of surprise and terror as she fell forward onto the unsupecting bull, causing them to both fall down hard on the cold marble floor with both monster food trays to empty their contents on top of the back of Gala's head and on Manny's face.
The sudden fall cause a loud clatter of food and metal hitting body and flooring, all of this drew quiet a lot of attention from the other students and dinner lady but not as long as the students, being a dinner woman she must have seen a loud of screw up happen over the years she had worked that school.
Toralei smiled proudly at her work before walking away, Claweden was so angry with her that she forgot about Gala and ran after dog's worst enemy.
Gala's mind was ringing at the fall, she rubbed her head before looking but she soon wish she hadn't, her eyes were still closed she when raised her head she felt pressure on her muzzle.
Shooting her optical orbs open, Gala found her muzzle was in contact with Manny's and he was just a surprised as she was but not by what just happened, nor by how close she was but by what she was. Manny had only heard of horseaniods from his family and books but he had never seen one in the flesh, he was breathtaken.
The two were brought back to school after being stunned for awhile and Gala was the first to pull away and look at the mess that she had made, seeing that Manny's face was cover in strains of hay that were sticking out in odd places with a few other veg were on his shirt and some hanged from his horns.
But then her head turned to the sound of muttering, whispering and chattering coming the surrounding area, as she turned to see all of her worst fears had come true, everyone was staring at her not just from the nosie they made and the mess but also the postion that they were in.
Manny was equealy loss for words and motion of his body as Gala was when they both saw that they were in a suggive pose, Manny was on his back and Gala was sitting on him with her legs straddled over his.
Gala indenstly panic, getting to her feet, grabbing her mane to cover her very redden face and bowed at the waist to Manny "I'm so sorry Manny!" She cired and before Manny could get a word in the mare had already ran off out of crepatria trying to aviod running into people.
Still dazed Manny continued to stare after the spooked horse even after the crowd began to thin out.
"She's a-a horseanoid" He muttered in amazement, when he got up Manny's eyes didn't break from the line the Gala took out of the large room for Gala was the most wonderful and the most beautiful monster he had ever seen.
Finally I've got this up after what, I don't know how many months it has been but thank heavens it's up.
All monster high charaters belong to Monster High
Gala Gallop belongs to me.
