Chapter 3

Huffing and puffing, Shaggy managed to make it to school before his first class started. Stumbling through the front doors of Coolsville High, the now sweaty teen practically collapsed onto a spare chair next to the office, taking a moment to catch his breath. As he was panting, the worn-out beatnik could have sworn he felt some one watching him. Taking a second to observe his surroundings, he nearly jumped out of his skin as he saw the girl that was sitting in the seat right next to his, staring in slight disgust right at him. A moment went by before Shaggy decided to say something.

"Um… what?"

"You smell horrible!"

'Well, this is off to a great start', the hippy thought

"Well, yeah, but like I missed the bus and had to sprint all the way here to make it on time. Sorry I couldn't fit a shower in between that and class"

Tired with a conversation like this this early in the morning, Shaggy was about to get up and find a water fountain, but not before the red head's response made him stop.

"Wait, you ran all the way here? How far is your house?"

Shaggy thought for a minute.

"Well, like about 10 miles or so"

"How long were you running?"

"About 20 minutes"

The purple clad red head stared at him in disbelief

"Jeepers, that is really fast! Are you in track?"

"Like, uh, no, sports aren't really my thing"

"You should try out! You must be a natural if you can run that fast!"

"Um, well, like I'll think about it"

"Groovy!"

The door to the office opened and a secretary popped her head out.

"Ms. Blake? The principal will see you now"

The red head hopped up from her seat and turned to face the beatnik.

"I'll see you around…", she started, but failed when she realized she never got his name.

"Shaggy. The name's Shaggy"

"I'm Daphne. Anyway, I'll see you around sometime"

With that, she walked into the principal's office, leaving him alone.

And then the final bell rang.

"Zoinks!", the beatnik yelped as he grabbed his bag and started sprinting towards his first class.

"Like, I'm late!"

Running to class, he accidentally shoved someone over. Utter a quick apology, Shaggy dived into his first class the second the teacher had begun his lesson.
