"I don't wanna, take the heat so now I've gotta, go it solo. I don't wanna, do the time so now I gotta, take what's mine whoa. Ba, ba, ba ba ba ba! Walking the fine-line keepin' control. Deep in the cut, ready to roll. Are you friend or are you foe? Ba, ba, ba ba ba ba! Now I gottta, go it Solo!"
Skye opened one of her eyes lightly, then shut them again, she wasn't ready to expose herself to the world yet. Just then her mother walked in.
"Skye, wake up! You don't want to over sleep on your first day of tenth grade."
"UGH" Skye groaned loudly and reluctantly emerged from her comfortable paradise.
Although her mother Bernadette Blue could be rather pushy sometimes, Skye knows deep down that she only wants the best for her. After all, Skye holds her family members very dear, especially after...the incident. Skye quickly changed tone and clumsily scuttered to the bathroom. She washed her face and before she knew it, she was in her wardrobe.
"What to wear, what to wear." Although she has a small wardrobe, Skye somehow manages to be surprisingly picky in terms of clothing. She eventually went with a blue and white parka hoodie, (slightly poofy to compromise her chubby appearance.)
As for bottom clothing, she wasn't sure if she wanted too much blue in her appearance so she ultimately went with
black leggings and white/pink sneakers. She then grabbed her amulet hanging from her coat hanger, got her stuff and hurried downstairs.
Skye walked to school as she enjoys walking over sitting in the streetcar. She then suddenly froze and sighed loudly.
"You can do this Skye, you're the invisible girl, nobody will notice you."
She walked into the school and things were going well, until she heard a familiar obnoxious voice from behind her.
"Hey, hey, hey, it's me, Jay!" Skye looked behind her to see a boy, he was short with short brown hair and dark skin. He wore a cap that didn't really fit him and a yellow hoodie.
"Ugh, Jay, would you please, I'm trying to keep a low profile."
Jay looked at her with question
"Are you seriously trying to go another year as the invisible girl captain? That look is so cooked, it's about time you join a group like me"
Jay had recently joined the hip-hop obsessed clique and he's gotten to know them pretty well too.
"Here, Jay groups just...aren't my thing, I'm a..."
"Lone wolf." Jay finished her sentence. "Not the first time I've heard that, captain. Either way, good luck on your first day."
Skye didn't reply, but she smiled. Although she had no romantic interest in Jay, or vice-versa, they had been friends since the third grade and they weren't going to stop now, no matter how annoying Jay may be. Skye eventually hurried over to her first class.
9:10 AM (first period)
Skye sat silent for the start of the class and before she knew it, the news came on.
"Ugh, great!"
Skye hated school news and besides Stepak, she wasn't very fond of the team either. Chaz Moneranian was obnoxious, self-centred and rude. And something about Tina Kwee just rubbed her the wrong way, she has never gotten a chance to see Tina's true colors but she's sure they are as foul as she implies.
"Welcome back to A. Nigma high students. To the first day of a new school year, I'm, I'm..." Tina suddenly became nervous.
Chaz interrupted her " She's Tina Kwee and I'm Chaz Moneranian and I'm your school news team."
While Skye was busy not listening, she heard a voice from behind her.
"LEE, LEE, LEE! The girl you want to have the kissy time with...TINA!"
This made the class burst into laughter, Skye however just turned to see a boy with red hair shielding his face and another guy with long blonde hair massacring himself with a book. She just rolled her eyes and turned back.
"What sort of low-down, loser would like Tina?" She thought to herself.
Later on, Skye found herself heading to the lunchroom, just then Zed, the skater boy heavily nudged her, sending her flying towards one of the lockers.
"Owww" she said as she rubbed her sore backside, when she turned to the locker she noticed that she had inflicted a massive dent on the locker. Before she could sketch the scene, a voice called from behind her.
"Miss Blue, damaging school property?"
Skye was quick to make things right.
"OMG, sorry Vice Principal Victoria." She lamented soberly.
"I see you haven't swayed from your old self, Miss Blue but, rules are rules."
"Detention?"
"Afraid so." She then left.
"Awww, great, Skye whined. Great way to start off the day."
Just then Jay emerged from his camosuit.
"WOW captain. Either those lockers are super weak or you're super heavy."
Skye glared at him, taking offense.
"Sorry, anyway you missed lunch."
"Crap!" Skye muttered under her breath.
"You also missed the first detentionaire of the year, some guy named Biffy."
"Oh, I know him, not really afraid of him."
"We should be heading to the gym, Chaz said that the new principal will be there.
"Crap! You're right Jay, let's go!"
The two hurried to the gym and luckily, they got there on time.
1:08 PM at the GYM
Skye took her seat next to Jay.
"I thought you wanted to keep a low profile." Jay said mockingly.
Skye laughed.
"Yeah, I said that, but like, there are so many people here, whose gonna be looking at us Jay?"
She looked behind her and saw three boys, two of which looked familiar. The redhead and the swedish boy from class along with a super-short Hispanic guy.
Just then she exposed her ears to an unpleasant thumping sound, a rhythmic metal clattering so loud that it shook the entire GYM. Before she could bother questioning she heard a voice that fixed her eyes on the centre stage.
"LISTEN UP, YOU SNOT-NOSED, BAGGY-PANTS-WEARIN' MAGGIT COVERED PUDDLES OF VOMITED PUKE."
Skye just stared as he roused through his harsh worded soliloquy. However her attention was eventually drawn to a voice behind her.
"Aww, the new principal could use a hug" This line was followed by the sound of laughing, the new principal then used his eye to scan and catch out the two students.
However, after a while, a song began to play.
"What is that." A girl asked
Followed by the tall weird-looking boy dancing.
"Everyone's distracted, WATER BALLOON FIGHT" Jay yelled as he left Skye alone.
Just then, the GYM witnessed a series of events that completely destroyed the GYM.
When it was over, Skye heard a loud voice.
"WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS?"
A kid slammed the doors open, and in the sight of the GYM, he began to laugh, however, things didn't turn out well for him.
Barrage stormed "YOU DID THIS!, Not one day, not one week, not even one month! YOU, BOY ARE SENTENCED TO
ONE FULL YEAR OF DETENTION!"
The boy attempted to defend himself but all defence was futile as the materials were found in his bag.
"What an idiot!" Skye thought, even Jay is better at hiding evidence. She then touched her chest, just to realise, her amulet was missing!
Although Victoria suggested the students go home, Barrage declined so Skye hurried to the washroom to clean up, just to see Tina and Chaz fighting over the prankster as she exited the room. She rolled her eyes and headed to detention.
3:15 Detention room
Skye entered the detention room with Biffy already there, just as she took a seat, Barrage arrived with the prankster.
"Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life."
Just then, Biffy approached him
"That was, the craziest thing I've ever seen"
"But I didn't do it"
"Of course not, you don't have the devious mind, skill, or physical knowhow to plot such an epic archaic, righteous chaos."
"I could've done it"
"Nah, it's just not your style, no offense but you're just not that hardcore."
Skye smiled in agreement.
"What's his deal? The boy asked looking at the sleeping teacher."
Biffy proceeds to throw a yarn ball at him that has no effect. Biffy then turned to Skye.
"No way! What are you in for?"
"Ugh, accidentally dented a locker"
"No way, I thought that damage was only capable from guys like me."
"KEYWORD: accidentally" Skye replied all snarky-like.
"Wait you two know each-other"
The boy asked.
"Yeah" Skye replied "Trust me he's harmless...so uh, Lee right? Are you SURE you didn't pull the prank."
"Of course I'm sure, why."
"Oh my amulet!" Skye whined!
Lee turned to Biffy for answers.
"Her little necklace she carries along with her, it was lost in the prank."
Skye facepalms to the table.
"I gotta get outta here." Lee says " I need to get to the Gym and get that camera, that can prove I didn't do it."
Lee then called his friend, of course that was futile. Biffy then made a suggestion.
"No big whoop, just grab the tape after detention, once everyone sees it you're cleared."
"Yeah, but it wont be there after detention, there's like these psycho cleaner freaks in there."
"Yeah, but escape is always an option"
"What about sleeping ugly?"
"What's you're obsession with him he never wakes up!" He then goes over to him. "HEY, YOU'RE FACE IS ON FIRE!"
This caught Skye's attention. Biffy then throws a desk at him followed by no response.
"There has to be an explanation to that" Skye muttered under her breath.
"What if Barrage catches me?" Lee asked.
Biffy replies "Well, if we knew where he was...you could avoid him and get back here before he finds out!"
"PFFT, and how're we gonna do that?" Lee asked doubtfully.
"HELLO! It's the 21st century"
He then gets a phone and tosses it to Lee, who misses the catch.
"Wow nice catch" he then throws another one, which he catches.
Lee then asks. "Biffy, why are you helping me?"
"I can give you a beating if you prefer."
"I vote for helping." Lee replies anxiously.
He then fixes his eyes on the depressed Skye.
"Hey...Skye, is it?" Skye looks up at him sharply.
"I'll get that amulet, don't you worry."
Skye blushes but is slow to reply.
"Thanks" Lee smiles at her before proceeding to jump to action.
"Man this is like a spy movie or something." Biffy says "Wait...but wouldn't that make me."
"The computer nerd." Lee interrupts "Sure looks that way."
Biffy growled while Skye playfully giggles. Once Lee leaves, Skye keeps mostly silent. She started to wish she went with him.
3:47
"Hello, hello what a jerk!" Lee said.
"Uh Oh false alarm, and hey, keep trash-talking me and I'll feed to Barrage." Biffy says annoyed.
Just then Lee notices the camera and crawls towards it but unfortunately, it gets taken by someone else. Lee then notices something else.
"Skye's amulet" While he isn't sure, he assumes and takes it with him.
Time passes and Skye carefully obsevers the conversation between Lee and Biffy.
"Where is he now?" Skye asked
"Just crawled into a vent." He should be here soon.
After a while, Barrage arrived "OPEN THIS DOOR, STAT!"
Biffy then interfered. "Wow, this door is being bad. That's a, that's a bad door.
Biff and Skye whisper in unison.
"HURRY UP!
Skye hears a struggle from the vents and just then, Lee falls from the vents into Biffy's arms. Biffy puts Lee in his seat, Skye sits down retaining and innocent face and Biffy hides the broken phone. Barrage enters the scene and observes the three teenagers.
"DIII-MISED! Oh, and Ping, we'll see you tomorrow."
Barrage exits the scene and Lee reaches for the broken phone. He looks at the memory card.
"Imagine what could be ON here."
Biffy replies "It could be a clue, or it could be pics from some chick's slumber party, either way we win."
Skye rolls her eyes in unamusement. Lee seems to share her displeasure in that one-liner.
"Alright, see you tomorrow."
"You're gonna be here?" Lee asks.
"Of course, gotta finish my sweater."
Biffy leaves but as Skye is leaving, Lee grabs her hand.
"Hey Skye, I got this." Lee holds out her amulet.
"OMG MY AMULET!" She hugs Lee but before realising what she had just done, she backs off slowly and changes the topic.
"See ya Lee" She says. And on her way home she constantly spoke to herself.
"I can't believe, I actually made a friend. Well, kinda."
She was then greeted by her mom. "So sweetie, how was school, I heard a kid pulled a massive prank and..."
"Yeah mom I know, and school...could've been worse."
Skye then gets to her bedroom and opens up her computer
"Hey, where were you all afternoon." Jay asked
"Detention...duh, but get this, Lee is innocent and I'm going to do all I can to help him prove it."
"Someone's got a crush..."
"Shut up Jay, goodnight."
So Lee is innocent, well, I'm going to do everything in my power to prove this to the entire students body."
Meanwhile at Lee's
"If I'm ever gonna get my life back, I need to know who planned this thing, so I can prove to my Half-Cyborg principal and my mom that I didn't do it."
"Finally, let's see what we have, nothin', nothin',"
Cam then calls.
"Yo homes, I just realized. If you have detention all year than who am I gonna hang with, who's gonna be my wingman, who will..."
"Holger be wingman!" Holger interrupts. After ending the call Lee learns that someone messed with his bag.
"One way or another, I'll find out who did this."
FIN
Hope you liked it and yes, I am willing to do every episode, it'll take a while but I'll do it.
• I don't think putting Skye in the centre of attention will be very useful so I'll have to improvise.
• Female OC dislikes Tina, I'm aware, it's overused but I actually like Tina, this is also an interesting plot point in Skye's development.
Get ready for the next episode next week,
Best Fronds for Amphibia will be out by Tuesday
GO DETENTIONAIRE!
