Jackson walked through the hall ways of Monster High. Everyone else was already in class. It has been two weeks since he last walked these halls. He ran his hand across the metal lockers while he walked to her office. He tried not to think about why he was gone for so long. Holt and him fought for the longest of time trying to settle on a time schedule their uncle said to do… he also got them both a planner so they could plan more effectively to make sure they both could have as normal of life as possible. Unfortunately…his mother lost her mind after she found out her Hyde side hit Holt. It caused her normal self to fall to drinking and to be found a day later passed out from an over dose. His aunt and uncle thought it would be better if they put her in a hospital to help her work out her own problems. Jackson didn't want to lose his mother either…so he agreed. So now he was living with his aunt and uncle until she is able to pull herself together. So far life wasn't looking in his favor. At least Holt was making an effort to behave himself. Holt didn't really know how to react when he found out his new found fan, was indeed his cousin. Jackson tried to explain to Holt how Heath was long before he met him the night before they went home from the hospital. Holt made fun of Jackson as he tried to explain so Jackson decided to let him figure it out. Even though Jackson would never admit it to anyone, it was kind of nice to have someone to talk to even if it meant the annoying half of himself. Even then…When Holt made him mad he would not let him out for a few days. So Jackson found out what happens when he doesn't let his alter ego out, the hard way. Like Holt will become a stronger presence in his mind. Therefore he was able to talk to Jackson in his mind, driving him mad enough to give in to him before he lost his mind.
Passing on the mad science lab he saw Deuce and Clawd laughing at a student who was having trouble catching some animal. Clawd looked out the door to see Jackson shaking his head at his two friends, he jumped up and yelled a 'hey' before getting yelled at by the teacher, who smiled at Jackson before scolding Clawd. Making it to the office he knocked on the door, he heard a faint 'come in.' "It is good to see you again Mr. Jekyll." Head Mistress Bloodgood said as Jackson took a seat.
"It is good to be back ma'am."
"So you are here to talk about Holt's enrollment in Monster High?" She asked pulling out papers from her desk watching Jackson shift in his chair.
"It was my uncle's idea…since he can be out during the day…he…well we both thought it would help him out in life." Jackson stammered out.
"School is always a first step to a normal teenager life, but have you talked this over with him?" She asked raising an eyebrow when Jackson shifted again avoiding her eyes.
"Well…no…I thought it would be better to surprise him…you know…showing him I can kind of trust him…as long as he doesn't drive my car."
Bloodgood just smiled warmly at the young normie in front of her. "Well for this to happen I will need to talk to Holt, not you."
Jackson played with his hands as he remembered that part of this crazy idea…he had to willing let Holt out for school… "I wanted to talk about how my G.P.A will be affected before we move on this discussion." He said sitting up a little straighter not wanting Holt to ruin any of his chances to be the top of his class.
"We will put Holt on a trail period here at school." She said thinking over this unusual situation, "if school proves too much for him, then you will be excused from the two classes he will be taking. Now if Holt proves he can be a model student and try to get good grades then we will see if it will be placed against your G.P.A." Jackson snorted at her calling Holt a model student, but agreed to the terms. At least Holt couldn't ruin this part of his life.
"Now I do believe if that is all of your questions Mr. Jekyll, I think it is time to let Holt pick his two classes."
"Just one more question," Jackson said before placing on his headphones. "How long will he be out today?"
Bloodgood thought it over for a minute, "I was thinking we could let him see the school day in a full," Jackson stared at the women in front of him in shock…the whole day?
"The whole day?" He asked turning slightly pale.
"He needs to experience school in full and if he is anything like what your uncle told me, you will be out for every class he finds boring."
Jackson sighed in relief at least he wouldn't be shut up inside his own mind all day. "I guess I can agree to that…if it is only for a day."
Bloodgood smiled when Jackson relaxed a little, "and to make it better," she said getting Jackson's attention before he turned on music, "I did ask Rochelle to show him around."
Looking even more relaxed to hear that Holt wouldn't be running wild through school, he placed his headphones on and let the music flow. Holt let out a happy yelp in knowing he was out before their normal time switch, "Haha, the nerd must have ran into music." He said not really knowing where he was until he heard a person clear their throat behind him. "Oh…Bloodgood." He said sitting down in the seat in front of her.
"Don't sound too disappointed in seeing me Mr. Hyde."
Holt sunk in his seat…the last time he was here he called her a bitch and caught he desk on fire, which was fixed with a brand new desk.
She didn't seem angry at him so he thought it was best not to apologize. "You are here because we all think, Your uncle and Jackson included, that it would be good for you to enroll in school here," She said getting to the point.
"What- me?" He laughed getting a confused look, "I am sorry if I may seem rude ma'am but I never went to school a day in my life. I don't think startin' now will be a good idea."
"There is always a good time to go to school." She countered making Holt raise an eyebrow, "it will give you a chance to meet monsters your own age and make friends."
Holt sat back trying to think of a time when he had a friend. A real friend…Okay so maybe going to high school didn't seem like that much of a bad idea. "How do I enroll?" He asked earning a smile from Bloodgood. "I have everything set up; your uncle was here this morning enrolling you. We just needed to make sure you wanted to go." Holt rolled his eyes and leaned back in the chair.
"So how many classes will I have?" He dreaded the answer of actually having to do school work.
"Just two." She said handing a paper to Holt with all the classes on it, there was yellow highlighter on some of the classes. "What does the yellow highlighter mean?"
"Those are Jackson's classes; he was willing to give up two classes for you. So choose wisely." She stated clearly, "Because once you say you want them you have to go, that means you physically have to be there, not Jackson." Holt whined a little when she made sure he couldn't pawn his two classes on Jackson.
"Fine…" He mumbled out looking over the paper. Hmm…nothing seemed interesting…P.E. maybe…but Jackson had that. Maybe he could take it from the normie. He took a red highlighter from Bloodgood's desk to mark P.E as his. Now one more…something not to hard…Holt chewed his lip. What was the point to cooking…when you can use the money you earn…or steal…to get someone else to make it for you? Every one of these classes didn't even sound interesting until the word music caught his eye. Music what? He found what he was looking for, music theory. Now there was something he was sure to get into. Maybe good at. The only way to find out was to mark it for himself.
"Here ya go ma'am," Holt said happily handing the list to Bloodgood. She looked it over then looking at another paper.
"Well it seems the only open music theory class is sixth hour…which means Jackson will have to move his history class to his free hour." Holt just listened not really caring about his other half's schedule as long as he was able to be out and about. Holt started tapping a rhythm earning a look from Bloodgood when she noticed he wasn't listening, "You know Mr. Hyde for your first day of school you will be out for all of it." Holt stopped his tapping to give Bloodgood a shocked look. "Really?" He asked not wanting to believe her.
"Which means you will have to go to all, and I mean all of Jackson's classes, including the boring ones," She stated the last part quickly when Holt went to interrupt her. "But what if I personally don't want to sit through them?"
Bloodgood sighed; Holt was going to be a lot more difficult then she thought, "I am sure Jackson would like some time to be out even if it is for classes. But if you aren't up for letting him out then you could always take notes."
Holt cringed of the idea of taking notes…and being forced to stay in one spot…doing boring things. "I think I can spare him some time."
"That will be up to both of you, but I do suggest that just this one time to try some of Jackson's classes. You might be surprised what you find interesting."
Holt snorted at that idea. Like he would find learning interesting, but not music theory it seemed interesting, but Holt was sure it would be another boring class. School…the most boring thing ever…even if he never been there personally. He did watch T.V….but he was sure school wasn't like that. Even the way his parents explained school sounded boring. "So…question." Holt said looking around the room sitting up, "you said just this once…so does that mean that me bein' out all day will not happen again?"
"That is truly up to you and Jackson to discus, but right now," She answered handing Holt the schedule and getting up, "try to have a good day, I believe first hour just ended so you need to head to Home Ick. Don't worry about the teachers," she said catching Holt before he could ask her about them, "they know you might be joining them for class today." She leads Holt to the door opening it, "but you still shouldn't be late."
Holt stood outside the Head Mistress's office debating what to do. He could leave…he had Jackson's keys. Doing something he knew would be fun…but it was day light. Holt racked his brain trying to find a place to go when a very pretty ghoul walked up to him. "Bonjour' monsieur Hyde, I will be your helper today."
Well there goes his plans on leaving this place…He guessed it wouldn't be too bad staying. He always had other days he could use to skip when he didn't have a 'helper' following him around like a lost puppy. So what was the harm of trying? He could always put on the Holt Hyde charm and try to get out of this. But shot that out of his mind as he thought of Jackson nagging at him if he skipped school. Losing what little trust Jackson had for him as well as his uncle. Jackson he didn't care so much if he pissed him off…but it was different seeing the disappointment in his uncle's eyes. So the choice was made…Monster high…get ready because here comes Holt Hyde. He winked at the gargoyle in front of him getting a slight look of disgust, "And what will you be helpin' me with fine little lady?"
