This idea just kid of occurred to me one day... I mean they never did out Noodle in school so what the hell, you know?
Phase 2
2D came in the room one morning where Noodle was sitting strumming a few notes on her guitar at the table, "Noodle? We neva put yew in school did we?"
Noodle turned to her older brother type person, "2D, I am a Japanese super soldier, I don't think I need school."
Russel came in on their conversation, "I think school is a great idea, then you can meet more people." He said oblivious to the girl's protest.
Noodle spoke up once more, "I don't want to go to school."
"Wot's this about school?" Murdoc said joining them in the dining room.
"We fink Noodle should go ta school," Stuart said vaguely filling him in.
Murdoc crossed his arms over his chest, "I dun like it. Noodle 'as ta be 'ere so we can practise."
Russel yelled his opinion at the older man, but Noodle was greatful to have him on her side and ran up to Murdoc.
"dun 'ang off of me, Noodle," he said irritated at the girl's sudden affection. The liquor on his breath from the night before almost made Noodle let go of him but when Russel began his argument again she held on tighter.
"Baby girl needs education. If Gorillaz ever falls through somehow she won't have anything to fall back on if she doesn't have an education."
"She'll 'ave the millions of dollars that Gorillaz makes ta fall back on." Murdoc said back. "We need 'er 'ere, 'specially that its 'er album that we're doin now."
"We can do it after school, you don't even get up until one anyways. And she will always have weekends." Russel said.
Murdoc turned his head to look into the pleading eyes of Noodle, "sorry, love. I tried."
"I don't want to!"
"Noodle you're acting worse then when you were ten, you're 15 now." Russel said sternly.
Noodle shut her mouth but kept pouting. She ate two bites of cereal and downed her drink before heading off to her room and slamming the door for good measure. Noodle sat with a pillow, upset that her 'brother' and 'father' were underestimating her skills. She was a super solider for goodness sake. She knew several languages and was probably smarter than them all combined.
Noodle didn't come out for a movie, nor did she come out for band practise (which threw Murdoc into a fit). They sent Murdoc in whenever they needed something of the teenager and that was a hard thing to accomplish in itself.
Noodle huddled in her blanket when she heard her door squeak open. She perked her ears up to hear anything to distinguish from person to person.
"'Ey Noodle, school isn't so bad," Murdoc's scratchy voice rang through the room, he ran his fingers over the blanket looking for a place to grab and pull them off. It was early morning and they had planned to go over to Noodle's dreaded building and sign her up. After the blanket was off Murdoc stared at Noodle's curled form. He sighed when the teen didn't move, resorting to evil measures, "Noodle if you don't get up I'll steal your bloody game thing and erase all your saved files or woteva." Noodle shot up and grabbed for her entertainment devise.
"Nooooo! I've been working on that since I got it! You can't!"
"Oh but I can," Murdoc grinned, showing his sharp teeth. He inched toward the door and the girl got out of her bed, falling over blankets, and rushed to her closet. She threw on black shorts and a yellow shirt with a green fabric jacket over top.
"There I'm ready, I'll go to that horrid place! Just gimme back my game boy!" She said desperately. Murdoc laughed and threw it to her and left to go back to bed. Noodle cradled the electronic in her arms and left shortly after.
"I have didaskaleinophobia, and it's cruel that you're making me go to school." Noodle said ticked off, while casually grabbing an apple and biting into it.
"Wot's that, love?" 2D asked in severe confusion.
"It's the fear of school."
"No one is gonna 'urt yew, Noodle," Stuart said lovingly throwing an arm around her.
"But I don't like it 2D, I want to stay here, I feel safe at Kong despite the living dead." She said.
They both geared up and headed off to the closest school. Noodle pouted the entire way there. The blunette glanced back at her as they began to park and it looked as if she was going to bolt as soon as the car stopped so he locked the doors without her noticing. The car came to a hault and she immideatly tried to jump out the door only to slam into it when it didn't open.
"Keep calm, Noodle. Don't want ta cause a scene and unwanted attention." He said to try and reason with her. She growled him.
They were called in quickly to the principal's office, "hello Mr... Pot. This is you're daughter?"
"She's kind of adopted," he said pointing to Noodle when the principal gave her a strange look. "I want ta enroll 'er."
"Noodle?" He asked looking over some paperwork.
"It's the name she responds to most." He quickly covered.
"Ok, well, Mr. Pot. I run a tight school here. There is no tolerance for disobedience." He shuffled though his desk and pulled out a registration forms and handed it to the blunette. "If you think your daughter is able to fit in then she will be admitted." He waved them off and they left to the waiting room to fill out the papers.
"He's a hard ass," Noodle mumbled. They filled out the form, mostly with random things since they didn't know themselves in that great of detail. They handed in the papers to the secretary and she directed them to the room that would serve as her classroom.
Noodle was sent into a biology class where 2D quickly left her so she couldn't have time to do something horrible to him.
The teacher made her stand at the front and introduce herself. She blew a bit of her bangs out of her eyes to see a few people staring at her.
"My name is Noodle, and if any of you laugh I will kill you." She threatened. The class gulped and she took a seat at the back.
By the time the end of the day rolled around Noodle had out smarted all of her teachers on various things. And was more annoyed than before she left in the morning. Russel came to pick her up in the Geep.
"How was your first day?" He asked.
Noodle growled, "I know more than the teachers. Those brainless idiots only keep to things in the damn old textbooks, I had to go on the Internet and prove I was right."
He rolled his eyes and looked to the road.
During the next day in Noodle's English block, she was pulled out and into the office where she sat nervously. She hadn't done anything wrong, and if she screwed up 2D and Russel would have a fit. She jumped when the seceretry called her in and was met with the principal.
"Miss. Noodle, please have a seat." He said. There was another man in the room as well. "We've began to notice your skills and obvious dislike of learning so I took the liberty of sending for Mr. Sayer to give you an aptitude test today."
"What will it prove?"
"Anything above a certain mark on the results will relieve you of coming to school. It is a fairly lengthy test but from your behaviour yesterday, we think this would be the best thing for you. Are you ready to start?"
Noodle nodded and was taken to a private testing room. It seemed it was made for multiple kids at a time but it was just her for the time being. Mr. Sayer relayed the rules and let her start. She had all day to finish the test, it was 10 and she had until 5 with a lunch break in between.
Noodle refused the lunch break and continued on until 1 when she set down her pen. Mr. Sayer immediately came in and collected the papers and escorted her out of the room. He sent her multiple choice answered through a machine that would automatically mark them based on the answer key. She sat in a plastic chair waiting for them to come out and tell her whether or not she'd have to continue coming to the terrible place or not. She started to hum Dare, a song she had created to go on Demon Days that was all her own. She sat there for a good half hour before anyone came out to talk to her.
"We'll Noodle is seems as if you don't need to be here. You got a near perfect score on the test that most adults don't get 70% on." The principal said. The smile on the teen's face was like one no one had ever seen before.
She was free, they called 2D and he came to pick her up.
"I told you I didn't need to go! It was all just a waste of time, you know you never know how much you have left before its gone. So why waste it?" She said happily sitting in the front seat of the car with her window opened.
"We just want wot's best for yew, Noodle," 2D said.
Noodle pulled her head back into the chair, "I know. But you should listen to me more." She pointed to herself and smirked before pronouncing very slowly every syllable to her next words, "super solider."
I have found out that I like making Noodle out to be a bit of a smart ass, but still loveable. Anyways read and review my lovely readers
