Author's Note: Ah, the first day of school, heaven for some, hell for the rest of us. One more thing, Michael doesn't stay at school all day because he has early release. Early release is when you have so many good grades that you don't stay at school all day. Also, Michael's first day of school isn't going to be an uneventful one. Read and see what I mean.

Chapter 7

Michael felt a vibration underneath his pillow. It was his brother calling him to make sure that he was up.

"Hello." Michael said sleepily.

"Hey Mike," Charles said, "I was just calling to make sure that you are up ready for school."

"Yes." Michael said.

"Good," Charles said. "I'll see you when I get home, bye."

Michael looked over at Melody who was still sleeping on the other side of the bed. He took this opportunity to take a shower, get dressed, grab his backpack and his schedule which was mailed to him. He went back into his room and woke Melody up. He decided that there was only one way to wake her up.

"Melody!" Michael yelled into her ear. That caused her to roll over off the bed and onto the floor. Melody looked up to see Michael laughing at her. She grabbed a pillow and threw it at him, which missed.

"Glad to see you're up," Michael said putting the pillow back on the bed.

"Any reason why you yelled in my ear?" Melody asked.

"It's time to get up and go to school. Knowing you, that was probably the only way to get you up," Michael said,throwing her backpack to her. "Let's go."

"It would be quicker if we flew there," Melody said.

"In broad daylight? I don't think so." Michael shot back.

"Come on, you could transform on the back yard where no one can see you," Melody said.

Michael looked at Melody as she gave him a sad, puppy look. After a while he said, "Come on, but I am not doing this on the way home."

"All right," she said as they went into his back yard.

Michael took his hair out of his ponytail, and handed her his glasses and stood in the middle of the yard. "Can't believe I let you talk me into this." Michael said under his breath.

"Hurry up or we will be late for school!" Melody yelled.

Michael stood there for a moment. Then there was a bright flash, and Michael transformed a 50 foot white dragon appeared.

"Come on, let's go before someone sees!" Michael hissed at Melody.

"Alright, chill!" Melody said as she grabbed both of their backpacks. She hopped on his back and they took off.

Meanwhile, at the Stewart house...

"What was that flash?" Miley asked Jackson as they walked outside.

"Man, I knew that kid was weird." Jackson said.

Miley hit him in the arm. "He didn't cause that, and you know it!"

Jackson rubbed his arm and said, "Man, you sure do stick up for your boyfriend, Miley."

Miley blush and said, "Come on or we will miss the bus!"

Miley was walking in the hallway and spotted Oliver and Lily standing by her locker.

"Hey guys," Miley said.

"Hey, Miley," Lily said, "guess who goes here," Lily said in a sing song voice.

"Who?" Miley asked kind of worried. Lily pointed behind her. Then Miley blushed and looked away as she saw Michael and a girl who's hair looked like it was in a windstorm. Miley wondered why that girl was following him so close.

"Hey, Michael," Melody said. "That is your neighbor and her friends, right ?"

Michael looked up and saw Miley, Oliver, and Lily stealing glances at them.

"Yep," he said, "and we have first period with them."

"How do you know?" Melody asked. Michael gave her a look.

"Oh," she said.

"Our class is right here, R108," Michael said.

"What class is this?" Melody asked.

"Creative Writing." Michael said as they took their seats.

Miley and Lily entered their Creative Writing class and as Miley sat in her seat, with Lily to the front of her, she looked to her right and saw Michael just staring at the board. Miley, tapped Lily on the shoulder.

"Yeah?" Lily said.

"He's sitting right next to me!" Miley hissed.

"Who, your cute neighbor?" Lily said.

"Yes," Miley said, "and can you keep it down?"

"I can hear you two." Michael said. With that, Miley's face turned bright read and she turned and faced the board for what to her was going to be an uncomfortable hour.

Later that day at lunch...

Miley, Lily, and Oliver were sitting at a lunch table talking when Michael came in with his backpack. He walked to the lunch line grabbed something, and turned around to see Oliver motioning to sit down with them.

"So, how's Malibu treating you Michael?" Oliver asked.

"Pretty good. I want to head down to the beach after school, though." Michael said. He proceeded to throw his trash away and came back to the table.

"So, what class go you have next?" Lily asked.

" I don't." Michael said. "I am going home."

"You're skipping!?" Oliver yelled.

"No. I have early release and I don't have to stay at school all day." Michael said. And with that statement, he took his leave.

Later...

Michael was walking home by himself because Melody was already at his house waiting for him, when he noticed that someone was following him. He walked into an alley, and waited for the person to follow.

"What the-" The man said before he was swallowed by a 50 foot white dragon.

"Maybe that will teach you to mess around with a powerful being like me." Michael said.

As he was walking out of the alley, he noticed that those two same detectives were following him again...

"Maybe this would be a good time to question him," Maritska said.

"No, let's just follow him." Chris said.

That's right, Michael thought, keep following me, because I have something for you two.
