Chapter 9- Homeroom and Hallways

"Good morning, Shiz Prep! I'm Willamena..."

"And I'm Penny Parker!"

"And here are your morning annou-..."

That was as far as the video on the smartboard got before the sound cut out.

"Just once I would like to see a see a day where they actually get all the way through without any issues." Squidmon commented to Peter, making peter giggle.

That's when the door opened, and Cindy, Squimmy, and Katty walked into the room.

Katty could almost feel the eyes boring into her as she entered the room. And it was extremely jarring.

"Katrina Plankton, I presume?" asked the teacher. Something about him seemed vaguely familiar, even though Katty had never met him before in her life. In fact he kind of looked like…

"How'd you guess, Dad?" Squidmon asked.

Katty's eyes widened, 'Oh… no…' she thought.

"Well, I was familiar with her parents Squidmon" was Squidward's answer.

'Oh no!' Katty was trying to hide the fact that she was panicking.

"Take a seat girls." Squidward instructed, and they all sat in desks in the back of the room. Katty could feel all of the stares and even some hateful glares

"You didn't say your dad was a teacher here!" Katty whispered.

"Yeah. He teaches drama." Squimmy informed, "And Melody's uncle, Sebastian teaches band."

"Where were you?" A girl sitting in the desk to Squimmy's left. She had auburn hair cut into a bob, and wore clothes that looked straight out of the early 1900's, "You're never late for school."

"Well, we had to show somebody the way to the office." Squimmy replied, before turning her head to Katty, "Katrina Plankton, meet Eleanor Kelly!"

"It's… nice to meet you Eleanor." Katty greeted shyly.

"I told you not to introduce me like that." Elenor practically snapped at Squimmy, making Katty jump, "You can call me Elle, Katrina."

"You can call me Katty…" Katty's voice was barely above a whisper, not that she had meant it to be.

"You're a lot nicer than the other three." Elle commented, "They've Just been ignoring everyone who's trying to talk to them."

"They'll warm up." Katrina said, though she didn't really believe herself.

"Lemme see your schedule." Cindy asked, "We have science and tech together. And you have Drama with Squimmy, Squidmon, and Amelia. We all have lunch together, so make sure you come and sit with us."

"And we all have history first period with Dr Dillamond." Squimmy added.

"Well, that one's kind of boring, since we haven't gotten up to the war yet." Cindy stated.

"So Squimmy, how are you and Leon?" Elle asked. The way she said 'Leon' made it sound like something was going on.

Just then the bell sounded and all the kids dispersed to go to their first class of the day. "Just come with us, katty," Cindy said, "Follow our lead."

Maddeline sauntered out of homeroom. She could not believe this place. Everyone seemed so cheerful and friendly all the time.

It made her sick.

Even Squidward seemed a lot better off then Plankton's account of the last time he saw any of the other Bikini Bottomites.

'Maybe he went to the therapy he desperately needed…' Maddeline assumed.

Thankfully, when she'd gotten into the hallway, she saw a few students giving her scornful glances, and looks that said 'I want to kill you just for existing.'.

Those type of looks didn't phase her though. In fact, they reminded her of the Isle, and that she had a reputation to keep, at least until she and her friends completed their mission.

"So… uh, headed to history now I guess? Peter asked as he speed walked to catch up with her.

Maddeline ignored him.

"Hey… I'm really sorry about yesterday." Peter continued, "I didn't mean to upset you, and I'm sure my friends didn't mean to either. Alexei just wants to…"

"I. Don't. Care., Beanie Boy." Maddeline interrupted, turning around and yanking Peter's pink beanie off of his head and holding it above hers.

"Hey! My mom gave me that!" Peter whined as as he reached up and grabbed the hat back.

"What do you think you're doing?!" Squidmon demanded as he approached Maddeline.

"This is what I do to hovering flies." Maddeline replied, "And I mean it. If you don't leave me alone, you can expect a black eye."

"You can't do that kind of stuff here. Are you crazy?" Amelia asked when the argument had brought her attention.

"Oh, yes, 'cause we listen to what we're required to do." Maddeline replied sarcastically, "And Peter started it!"

"I WAS TRYING TO APOLOGIZE FOR UPSETTING YOU!" Peter had finally lost his temper, and tears were welling up in his eyes.

"Oh… He's gonna cry!" Maddeline said, before letting out a cackle of laughter.

"WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!" Elle screamed.

"Ms. Morrible!" The familiar voice of her homeroom supervisor cut through her taunting. He pointed to the the ground in front of him.

"You better get over there." Squidmon whispered harshly to Maddeline before wrapping Peter in a hug.

"What's going on out there?" Dr. Dillamond asked coming out of the history classroom, "Mr. Tentacles? Why is half my class in the Hallway?"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Was Squidward's answer, "Maddeline, come with me, the rest of you get to class."

Everyone filed into the classroom that Dr. Dillamond was standing at the entrance to.

Maddeline knew she was in for it, but she didn't care. She knew that whatever she was in for it couldn't be worse than the chokey.

"What was that?" Squidward asked.

Maddeline shrugged. "He was bothering me, so I taught him not to mess with me."

"Well listen," Squidward said, "I know good and well what Alexei did for you last night."

"Why does that matter?" Maddeline asked.

"Because I know how you've been treating people since you've arrived." Squidward replied. "And trust me, the path you're on is a sad lonely road that I know all too well."

Maddeline still wasn't convinced, "Well, It's the only road I know."

"I suggest you find a new one, before you get into serious trouble."

"Alright." Maddeline rolled her eyes, "Can I go now?"

"Yes, but don't Glinda and Elphaba won't hear about this."

Squidward watched as Maddeline walked off into the classroom. He saw something in Maddeline's eyes that he had hoped he would never see in a teenager… Or any child… A child who had barely got her life started…

He saw himself.
