Hey everyone, Randall here. I've decided to try my best and work on this for ya all. Seeing as how you humans want to know so much, I figured what the hey. This part is short, but it really focus (well actually this whole day will probably) on what everyone was like in the past. Anyway, lets see how these "so-called" monsters were like in the past, shall we?
Chapter 3 Monstropolis History
I awaited eagerly for who was going to be in this class. Many are nervous for the first day, especially me. Lets see......
I finally heard voices. "(Its about time)" I thought with a smirk. I was fast I had to admit. I watched the door, waiting patiently. Yes, believe it or not there was a time when I could control my anger. I'm not that angry, shouting, impatient lizard I will soon become.
Anyhow, back to the door. Coming through the door was Smitty. Or rather....Eugene. Small for his age I had to admit. Smitty was a chump.....a geek. Acted polite in a way actually. I have nothing against him, but we don't know each other that well. He was getting braces soon from his junk food eating.
Right next to him, as always, was Needlemen. Terrence Needlemen. Oh boy was he an idiot. Always talked to Smitty, letting his grade plummet. He always tried to pull a joke on someone, preferably me. The thing is, Needlemen wasn't the one to cause physical or mental harm. He'd rather do practical jokes. Lucky for me, Needlemen always got it wrong. He still laughs and lies about how he gets me, but no one believes him.
Hehehe....sorry....had to laugh at that.
Next up was George Sanderson. George wasn't a geek.....he was more of a....klutz.
"3......2.....1" I counted. As Sanderson entered, he tripped on the door's rim and fell on one of the chairs. Me, Smitty, and Needlemen couldn't help but laugh at the poor sap. I was thinking of helping him, but he got up himself. George wasn't a prank setter, but did laugh at other monsters. But the times we laugh at him beat how many times he's laughed at any of us!
Smitty and Needlemen took the middle front seats as Sanderson went at the top right desk, far in front of me.
Ricky came in next. Richard "Ricky" Plesuski. Your guy's remember Ricky? Let me get you a clue about the mouth with teeth. Well...there's you clue. Ricky and I didn't know each other very well. He loved lunch. Don't ask me how he eats, but I'm guessing they have to repair the tables where he eats. Ricky really hated being called Richard, one of his "anger pull's" you could say. He's ok. He came over and sat in the seat behind Anderson. Two desks in front of me. I kinda feel sorry for him. His long mouth went under his desk. Another monster came in and sat at the corner opposite of me. Not much about him except that he's a good joker.
Luckey then came in. Harry Luckey. I knew him alright. One of Sullivan's lackeys. I call him the "holder". I bet you can guess. Those tentacles of his are strong! Maybe its because he takes weight lifting. He took the seat behind Smitty, who was making a riveting conversation with Needlemen.
"Same old....same old" I mumbled, my head in my top left hand as my right tapped on the desk. "Oh...." I said, lifting my head up and looking at the door, everyone did.
At the door was Percy....Percy Flint. You remember Flint? Sheri Flint? She was the recruit trainer at M.I. I think Sheri was currently training for Monsters Inc. Percy was her daughter. She was pretty much the same as her mom.....pushy. She pushes everyone around, including me. She's smarty talking and slick. Much like I will be. She's got a metal knuckle I swear. I remembered someone saying that her mom, later on when I get my job, punched a scare recruit. You get the idea. She took the seat beside Ricky, giving him a growl and making him hide his eyes under his desk.
Speaking of different students, you wouldn't believe how many schools we have. Some are even larger than your seven floor malls. What? Just ask Ted how school for him was. Fun fact.
Anyhow, seemed like a small class, I kept my eye on the door through. My tail twitched with anticipation. I always get a feeling when something's wrong.
My fronds shot straight up as we all looked at the door. Celia Mae. Yep....her. Let me tell ya, she was great. I just say that? What I meant was....she was the popular girl. Had the best school pictures, her own gang, editor of the school's newspaper, and every boy wanted to ask her out. Let me tell ya, Percy hated Celia in all ways possible. Celia was catching the eye of every guy in the room, except me. I was just surprised she was here.
I had no obsession with girls what so ever. I don't know....I guess you could say I had no intention of a relationship, marriage, and offspring. I just thought I'd never get the chance. She came over and sat in the seat diagonal of Luckey. Boy....was Percy stuck up.
Huh? Wazowski? Oh yeah. Wazowski and Celia haven't met yet. Guess he was too busy with me. You'll see what happens between these two.......
So far....so good....except. I crossed all four sets of fingers, you get the point. Some luck. Coming through the door next was Sullivan. Now. Here's something that's on all your minds. How did this joke setting, pain sending, name branding throw rug turn into that pathetic goody two shoes? Let me tell ya.
Sullivan was a bully to me. The big one. He hates me. In the many years, he does tricks and jokes on me, pain as well. But he slowly changes from the bully to the good guy. Emphasis on slowly. When he became a scarer, he wanted to make peace with me. Oh sure...make piece with a guy who hurt me in many ways and branded me with "lizard boy" for years. Yeah right! That day of the incident that will come, he was no longer the good guy. That.....that was the Sullivan that hated me. The one that banished me wasn't the good guy at all! He was my tormentor. After all he's done to me, and banishing me, you think I'll forgive him!
...Sorry....blew out there. Long story short, Sullivan slowly changes.
I was shocked. If Wazowski was with him, luckily he wasn't, I may have a heart attack. Almost had one when I was a scarer I think. You all saw it. Anyhow....
My fronds were on end, eyes widened, and my tail wrapped around the nearest of the chair's legs.
Now. I'm not afraid of Sullivan.....I was afraid of what he's capable of doing, the physical him.
"(Will he just!....Ehh....fine....I guess I have to deal with him)" I thought, letting out a sigh as I placed my face in my top hands.
I looked back up to see him sit in the chair right beside me. I made sure he didn't try anything. He seemed to not care about me for the moment. Some other girls and guys came in. The class was small, surprised me a bit.
Don't worry, this ain't one of those story's where you get bored from the teachers dragging on. Soon enough, when everyone got seated, the bell rang. Unlike your school's, ours didn't have a pledge. Guess it was something that the school board haven't figured out yet. I hear they're close to getting one. The teacher told his name, the class. You know....the blah, blah, blah. Welcome to this class, I'm blah, blah, blah. You be learning blah, blah, blah.
We all sighed at one point or another. We all didn't like school. Except Celia. I was still uncomfortable, being next to Sullivan. I peered over to take a look at him. The rug was busy nodding his head. I decided not to worry about him, letting my tail come off the chair leg and lay comfortably on the floor. After awhile of the blahs, the teacher talked about himself. I was a little interested. Then he started to get something from his desk. Handouts no doubt. To me, there was no point to getting them. It hurt me to read "Parent signature". I don't have to explain. I peered over once more to see Sullivan turn to talk to someone at his left.
I cringed my teeth so I wouldn't shout. Sullivan had his right foot right on my tail. I moved my feet and held my desk. Why didn't I yell or anything? Well...they would say it was an accident and I would make a fool of myself and Sullivan would pound me if I blamed him for something he really did. Besides, Hazel noticed. I was fluttering my feet in my desk from the pain.
"Randall? Do you have to use the rest room?" Hazel asked me. I un-cringed my teeth, not wanting to yell. Some sweat was on my face, not much to see through. "No...." I answered slowly and shaky. He turned back to his desk. At that, Sullivan released my tail. I quickly drew it back. I sighed in relief. I know he did that on purpose! I didn't want to hold a grudge, I just growled at a low tone.
The class went on and on. Sullivan was surprisingly ignoring me. He must be scheming. Ricky was still hiding from Percy, looking as best he could at the teacher. Percy was too busy glaring at Celia. Smitty and Needlemen were still looking straight. Anderson was soon falling asleep. I wouldn't blame him. Luckey was doodling on his paper, bored out of his mind. Celia was paying attention, as always. I was busy checking my classes. Science was new to me. Haven't tooken it in a long time. Maybe I could make something that would turn a rug into a cockroach. I had to chuckle. Me as a mad scientist....nah.
Time ticked away and soon period 2 would start. After a long talk, getting pass outs, then finishing different forms. Finally the bell rang.
I decided to go last as everyone started to get out. I held the door open for everyone, not thanks mind you. Celia smiled as she went past me through, I think it wasn't for me. I could've sworn Sullivan shot a glare at me.
"Your welcome" I whispered in a sarcastic tone, heading out.
Oh, just incase you were not informed, Sean and me put a special chapter in The Old Days that tells about me and Waternoose first discussing the SE idea. And thanks to me, Sean's going to redo The Old Days, with my help of course. Anyhow, I'll get the next chapter ready for ya!
