Chapter 7 A Feline Factor

We got out and trailed the hall's quickly, Fungus by my side. "So....." I started. Might as well. "What do you think of this whole....toxic thing?" I asked. "What? Why?" he asked. "Thinking about science and all, and seeing as you missed last year....." I said. True, he didn't stand my half an hour struggle with my English teacher with my "Are Kids Toxic?" opinion. Got a good smack in the face when they phoned home.

"Oh uh well....I can't say" he responded, no wonder. "Its what we're told....that's what my parents said.....yours too" he said. Now. Even though he was my friend, I would not tell him everything....so I had to.....

"Uh...yeah...."I said. I felt hurt in lying, but I had to. Would you do the same? Even though I trust Fungus, I'm not at liberty to telling anyone. "Its just I thought...." I replied. "Well...who knows.....believe what we're told I guess..." he added. Too bad for him I kept that theory.

Anyway, we decided to drop the conversation and focused on what's ahead. "(221.....221....I think that's in the floor above us)" I thought. We found a staircase up and decided to take it.

We found ourselves in a weird area. Two separate doors to our left. One leading to a room and the other led into a hall. To the right was a few steps leading up into an elevated area. Strange thing was, the area had a fur like texture for the floor, instead of marble.

"Uh...ok...lets try this way...." I said

We took the one into the hall and slowly headed forward. As we walked, I spotted a door that wasn't closed. I looked inside to see it was a computer lab. I loved computers. I didn't have my own, yet, but I have worked with them. Having four limbs, a thank you, it was easy to type. As for human computers....well.....

Any kind of machine can catch my fancy. "Randall?". I stopped starring and looked ahead. Fungus was holding open the double doors that were ahead, which led out into a small hallway. "Oh! Sorry....".

I skitted back over to him. After passing yet another set of double doors. We entered the last hallway, a horizontal one. "Bingo" I said, pointing to a door just ahead, marked with our number. "(Gee....even without a map I can get around....)" I thought. I couldn't help but chuckle at my success.

*

I got the door this time. Simple looking. Six rows of chairs, posters hanging at the back and sides. A moveable, yet small, desk to the left, near an overhead, a blackboard, or rather green book, heh heh. And a desk with a shelf of books behind it was at the end corner to my left.

"Looks like nobody's here" I said. Fungus shrugged. "I heard he's getting a student teacher....". My fronds went straight and I nearly jumped outta my scales and Fungus nearly jumped outta his....skin I think. I was relieved when we turned around, seeing Strife. "Whoa whoa whoa! You have this class too?!" I said, as soon as I calmed down.

He nodded. Strange. Having someone for three fourth's of what you chose seems very unlikely. Then again, why should I question? "You act like you don't want me here Randall...." he said. Surprised as I was, seeing as about a selected few call me my proper name......

"No no no....Its just I didn't expect you to uh..." I began. "Uh huh....I think I get it.....just don't worry about it ok?" he said. "Phew....". "Lets just take a seat and get through the day" he added.

Couldn't fight that. I took the one closer to the door, easy escape a? Fungus took the one beside me, and Strife took the one two desks behind me. The voice's outside soon halted as the door closed. "....Heh guess we all like this corner huh?" I said with a chuckle. "Sure....watch...we'll all get A's....." David added. "I think we will" Fungus said.

I turned around, not trying to let my tail come out of the hole in the back. "What were you saying about a student teacher?" I asked Strife. "Just and assistant.....I heard he's got a student teacher and an assistant as well...." he said. Three teachers? Oh boy. Well....one teacher and two assistants. "So Fungus....". David turned his attention to Fungus. I decided not to intrude. I turned back around, fixing my tail with one of my bottom hands as I turned to my bag. Using my top hands, I shuffled through it and pulled out my binder. Simple, black. I decided to wait, seeing as nothing important was going on, and we still have a couple minutes.

I opened it and was surprised to see some of my old writings. Yes, I write. Why do you think Roz likes me? Not me actually, she just likes my paperwork, spent much of her time on mine then anyone else actually.....

I usually dig out a pencil and write whenever I was done what I had to do. Some monsters think I'm weird because of it. They don't know how much work I actually do. I hurt my left hands actually. I think I've made another "bend" in my left arm thanks to it. Of course, my teachers (mostly English teachers, what is it with me and them?) would see to it. They would either scowled me for it or just rip it up. That's when I decided to stop writing. A different dream of mine that was broken.....Oh! Well of course I won't stop writing for you guys. You praise my work rather than spitting on it.....

Anyway, I decided to do a quick peek at the "survivors". Some of them involved a family....my family. I never got caught with these one's. Its just....when life gets too hard and I don't want to do anymore, I would bring up a picture of what I believe to be my family. It sometimes worked, and then it doesn't. Most of the time I would feel sad....and sometimes....even....a bit of hatred.

My thoughts receded into my head as I turned to the opening door. We all did. Standing at the door, about an inch or two higher than me, was a feline male type. Almost human in structure. Except, the body was purple shaded fur. Clear claws that I could see was hiding under his black paws. Short ears leading into a dark pinkish inside. Cattish face with 3 whiskers on each side of the pinkish nose and calm blue eyes. Honestly, it looks like he's a nice guy. Handles well with kids I guess, and we have allot of them around here...hmph.

He opened the door for someone. A student teacher like David said. Tentacle type. What? To make it easier for you guy's to get a description, I will refer to types first for you all.

Anyway, plain bluish body, light blue stalks leading up to brown eyes. Her, judging from the voice, tentacles ended in bright blue, having speckles of green mixed in. She nodded and headed over to the desk with the shelf behind it that I mentioned earlier.

"Well....I can see who's going to be high in the ranks....". I turned back around to see Mr. Riderson starring at me. Actually, leaning into me with his paws and a clipboard behind his back. No, as probably mentioned, I don't like cats, seeing as I've been bitten and slashed by a couple here and there on occasion. Then again, I can't remember why I would hesitate around those kinds of creatures......

I could only give a hesitated smile. He seemed to be calm. I was about to say something before the door opened. Riderson backed off to see who it was too. Stepping in was Peter "Pete" Ward. Remember what I said about Nicknames? Good....then your paying attention.

Ward was poor sap that got another one of our doors destroyed. Remember yet? Another one of Sullivan's. Out of all of them, Ward's the least one I dislike. As you've seen, he may seem tough, but he's really a coward. Sometimes, when intimidating enough, I could make him go screaming back then. Now he'd probably die from fear, hehehe!

Anyway, he wasn't so bad. That is until he can correctly use those retractable claws of his. Well tentacles I guess. He took the last seat in the 5th row. Next up was Peterson, Needlemen, and Betty. Ah, Samuel Thatcher. You guy's probably don't know him. Actually, he's Ward's assistant. The two were good friends at the time. Not yet though. Samuel the one that, literally, smacks Ward's head straight. I swear I chuckled when I saw that happen, then again I was really tired. Easy going guy, not much happens with him now that I remember right. Actually, no one but us were in the first two rows, as he took the one behind Betty. Everyone but use like that side or what?

Strange? No. Glad? Yes.

Oh.....Joe Ranft. You guy's know him. Of course you do. Ranft's ALWAY'S has been behind me (except in grades I guess.....). When I was Top Scarer, he was second, when I was....eh....second...err....he was third. I have no problem with him......except that he's a pest. He just won't leave me alone! I seem to remember last year that he kept asking me to the answer of a bonus question on a test we were doing. It was annoying, I'm glad I didn't whack him upside the head. Lucky for me, Fungus was beside me. So he took the first one in the third row.

"(That's a load off my shoulder)" I said to myself. This is great! A few others came in, nothing more than Sanderson, a few troublemakers and a jokester. I looked around the room, one monster was two behind Fungus, two at the back of the rows. The other side was practically filled. I also noticed we had twins in this class. Hmph. The bell rang, and after a moment of starring at the door, no one came.

"(! They're not here! Yes!)". I couldn't help but be happy. Those two nightmares are gone! Ha!. My face produced a smile as I looked up at the clock above the board, 12:57. "Seems we got lucky" I whispered to Fungus. He nodded, seeming pleased as well.

"Glad we didn't get moved over there" he said, pointing over to the right side of the room. It was like a mini lunch room. I swear, if it was hollow in here, it would echo so loud you wouldn't hear. I was happy to see Riderson move over to the movable desk I mentioned. Actually....its more of a stand. He looked down onto it, then back up.

"Alright everyone....eye's forward..." he said, seeming to get straight to the matter. Me, David, and Fungus did. "I think I see a couple..." he said. Soon, everyone did. After a moment, he began talking. Yep, the blah's return. He directed our attention to the wall beside the board. Right above the shelf was an "F" with one of those "Do Not Enter" things. The red circle with the red stripe through it.

"I would expect not to see any F's in this class" he said. I chuckled the thought. "(Oh my....this guy is going to be seeing allot of that letter)" I thought. It was comical!

While he's blabbering, I'll explain. To me, about half of the students in this school will get a job, and one fourth will be successful. The number of complete idiots I've met, outranks those that are not complete morons. That's what I think anyway.

To me, being here is a waste of time. I'm sure many would agree. I peered up at the clock. 12:23. Guy's can sure talk. I pressed my back against the chair, trying to think of what to do after school. We were currently doing a history form, although I've already finished. It had questions such as if you could go back to any time, what would it be. What's your favorite country. Things like that. Then again, maybe I should explain a few things.

*

You guy's probably already know how we came to be what we are. Check your D.V.D. To me, I feel like that's not everything. Well actually....that's not how we we're taught in school. They didn't tell us the history that is on the D.V.D.

Anyhow, we have many similarities to your world. In history, we do have war. You've heard of Orc's, Troll's, and Goblin's, things like that right? To us, they're not monsters, they're more like fiends. I don't know much, but I can tell you that they're not as developed as us. From the history on the D.V.D, you can see. Fiends are humans transferred into vicious creatures. Monsters, like me, are more intelligent. They are more violent. Strange enough, we've had World Wars too. We're not that different. You writing this down? Could give you guy's story ideas.

Anyway, the day dragged on and I wondered what Fargus wanted me to do. The mere thought made me angry. I'm left accused while everyone has fun. I'm always blamed for everything! The lunch room, letting the kid in, causing panic over the city! It was Sullivan, yet I am to blame.

You see a pattern.

I focused my eye's of thinking of how to get back at Sullivan for what he did, when Riderson came over, placing a paper on my desk, then to everyone else. I picked it up with my top hands to see what it was. "(Great...)" I thought, placing my right hand to the side of my head. It was one of those "get up an intro" papers. You know, you try to find someone who has been out of the country, or who has more than three siblings, things like that. I didn't like it at all. Why would you want to know one thing about a person?

I grunted as Riderson spoke. "First one to complete it will get a bonus point on the first quiz" he said, urging us to get up.

Some got up, some stayed in their seats to get info from those around them. I just stayed in my seat. It was a pointless thing to do. Fungus was the first one, big surprise. I checked off the one marked "has scales", really simple one actually. He marked off the one "been out of the country". I gave him a thanks as he tried someone else. I looked behind me to see Strife getting the two monsters in the back. Soon enough he came over to me. I handed him mine and he gave me his. I marked off the same one as he gave me mine and I gave him his.

"Huh?". I was a little surprised to see he had marked off "is a good leader". I didn't know he thought like that. I thought he would mark "is a good follower" instead.

Things were slow. Some monsters came over to me, wanted me to lie just to fill up their charts. I just did it, I didn't care, I just wanted to leave here. Riderson collected the papers. He noticed mine wasn't filled all the way, but he noted that I did try. So he continued. I looked over at the clock. 2:10. That took a while. Riderson told us to stay in our seats until the bell rang. "Five bucks this is an easy class" I whispered to Fungus. "Uh huh.....better than last year" he said. Well....I wasn't there. "What happen?". "A project". Oh yeah. Me and Fungus mostly pick each other on team projects, I'd handle school, he'd handle home. Working with some people just won't do. I remember one experiment we did. We were testing different objects in water. Lets just say that the end result is that I smelled like that stuff that Waternoose was getting a drink off. Think coffee.

"What now?" he asked. "I don't know about you....but I'm staying after..." I said, slowing a little at the end. "Extra credit?". "No....your looking at the "assumed" I started, expressing the idea with my bottom hands, impersonating that they were cuffed, "Culprit of the 1st shift".

"Got caught?" he asked. I was about to hit him, but held my anger. "No Fungus....I told you it was Sullivan" I said.

(RING!)

The bell run, duh. I decided to end the conversation an leave, now. I got up, Fungus with me. We got out first. Strife followed us, everyone behind him. I turned to head down the stairwell, but. "(Oh crud.....)". Bumped right into Fargus. I took a step, well two, back as Fungus stopped beside me. The class passed, with Strife giving us a glance before heading down.

"Well Boggs....where do you think your going?" he said. "Uh well...I...." I started. "And who's this? One of your assistants from the fight?" he said, looking at Fungus. He was rather surprised, about to say something. "Well....I guess I'll see you BOTH after school". "But he didn't...." I began. "No excuses....you boy's have work to do" he said.

"What work?" we both asked.

*

"Stupid, overgrown, pint brain, bitter swelling pig..." I mumbled. The old f.....man....gave us a mop and told us BOTH to clean the cafeteria.

"This guy is getting under my scales!" I said, taking the liquefied mop out of the bucket, and hitting the floor. Fungus was on the other side. "This cannot be right" I added. I have to clean this mess! Hmph....most of the time I have to, you've seen it. Even Fungus has to do this! I could tell Bellfree and Dilfert we're waiting for me to be brought back home by a cop or something!

"(Just calm down.....you can't can you....)" I said to myself. I looked over at Fungus as I placed the mop back in the bucket. He was going as fast as he could. We've worked for a half an hour and cleaned up half the mess. I sighed to myself. I couldn't let him stay here because of me.

"Hey Fungus...." I said. "Yeah?" he asked, turning and coming over to me. "Listen....I'll take over here....you go on home..." I said. "You sure?" he asked. I placed my top hands on the mop's top. "Yeah....I'm use to it....you mom's probably waiting outside for you...." I said. "Are you sure? Its allot of...." he started. Jeez.....give the guy a break and he....

"Ehh....listen....just go ok....I'll finish it..." I said. "Oh! Thanks Randall!" he said. He placed the mop in the bucket, and started backwards. "I owe ya o...." he started, before hitting a chair. I cracked a smile as he waved off and left out the door. I smirked, nice amusement. I went back to work. It was getting late. I knew Dilfert would pound me for being here so late, that's why I wanted to finish it all today. So I wouldn't have to deal with it. Maybe everyone would be busy enough to not notice me enter.

"Sullivan thinks he can just let me clean up this mess! Hmph....I'll think of something....A big pile of stinking fur would attract allot of paint" I talked to myself. I snickered at the thought. Sullivan completely pink.....priceless!

I laughed as I squeezed the mop's water into the bucket. I thought of a good way to get revenge. I thought I was alone with the thoughts, but I wasn't. "Maybe he has a locker...." I thought. Yeah, the classic bucket, locker trick. It worked, seeing as I was a test subject for it. Green paint, and I didn't even do anything.

My thoughts and chuckles slowly left as I noticed a shadow on the water. "Heh heh...heh...huh?" I said, looking up. Don't ask me why. But there was Sullivan, Wazowski, Keenan, Luckey, and his other pals. "W....what are you guy's doing here?!" I stuttered. Out numbered. "You were pretty stupid to get Sully like that" Keenan said. "That's was a big no no you did back there lizard boy..." Wazowski added. "(Oh boy)" I thought. That was why.

"(I'm dead)" I thought, taking in a gulp.

As a matter a fact, I did say more than that about Fargus, but I won't say it here. As for what happens to me, I won't tell ya. Nope, no way. I'm skipping that part. Hope you guys enjoy it! I really like all the reviews you guys have giving me. Special thanks to Cool, a loyal reviewer ^^__^^. Till next time!
