Well, I'm a little apprehensive about this chapter…but here goes nothing! Hopefully you'll like what I have to offer in this chapter. It will be (hopefully) humorous and enjoyable. So let's see how a half-human, half-Yautja survives in High School…

FIRST DAY

OK, Drake thought, its just High School. Just like everyone else on this planet.

He had in his hand a timetable sheet and was wearing, for among the first times in his life, regular human clothing; namely a red T-Shirt and light-coloured trousers.

"Ok…let's see here… Monday…1st Period…There- Math. Room 104."

He looked up toward the school building.

"Where the hell is Room 104?…"

After looking at a map of the school, he found that the room was actually on the top floor. However, he didn't get far- in fact, he only just made it inside- before a guy who looked about a year older than him walked past, knocking him in the elbow.

"Watch it!" Drake snapped.

"You watch it!" The (overweight) student answered, muttering "asswipe."

Unfortunately, Drake's extremely sharp hearing picked this up.

"You wanna say that to my face, fat ass?"

The other student angrily turned round. A few other students watched in surprise as the student punched out at Drake.

Unfortunately for the bully, by the time his fist was anywhere near its target, Drake had leapt-up and kicked him extremely hard in the face. He went flying back into a locker while Drake stood just there and smirked.

The bully got to his feet with difficulty, looking at Drake as he entered a defensive stance. However, before the fight could really get started (And before Drake could pulverise the bully)…

"What is going on here?"

They both stopped and turned round to see a very irate-looking teacher.

"Well?"

Drake immediately stood up straight as the teacher stood there, tapping his foot.

"Well what?" Drake asked ignorantly.

"Get to the Principal's office! Now!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apart from that, and fifteen minutes being yammered at by the Principal, Drake made it up to the first lesson without incident.

"Ah, you must be the new student," The teacher said, "Drake, isn't it?"

Drake nodded. He'd already gotten a week's detention and didn't want to get into any trouble. (The main reason for this was eight feet tall and had one eye.)

"You're late!"

"Oh…I had to go to the Principal's office for getting in a…"

"Sent to the Principal's office already? Not a very good impression for your first day, Drake."

Drake scowled. Already, he could name three people here that he didn't like.

"Well, I'm your teacher, Mrs. French. You'll be sitting there, next to Adam."

Drake nodded and took his seat. The kid next to him- Adam- turned around after a few minutes.

"Hey, aren't you the guy who pulverised Danny this morning?"

"Uhh…Yeah…" Drake nodded.

"Cool! Nice move!"

"Um…Thanks?"

"So you're new here, huh?"

"Yeah, I just…" Drake immediately thought he should stick to the story Scarface gave him. "…Just moved from across town."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Drake and Adam spent most of the lesson talking, as Adam insisted there was nothing useful about Quadratic Equations. After four extremely boring lessons, they both headed to Lunch. Scarface had luckily given Drake some human money to spend on food.

They each got the same thing- a slice of Pizza, French Fries and a Soda. After finding a table, they were joined by a freshman student.

"Oh yeah," Adam remembered, "Drake, this is my brother, Max. Max, this is the new kid who kicked the crud out of Danny."

"Cool!" Max answered, just as, before he could sit down, Drake turned to see Danny standing there with two big- and stupid looking- guys behind him.

"Oh great," Adam sighed, "It's the asshole squad."

Ignoring Adam, Danny walked up to Drake.

"No-one does that to me, Noob."

He went to punch Drake again. This time, however, the consequences were even worse.

In roughly the time is took Adam and Max to blink twice, Drake had thrown Danny to the floor, decked one of the others and kicked the second one in the chest, causing him to go flying across the lunchroom.

Max just sat there, with an amazed expression.

"You gotta admit…" He said, "That was pretty cool…"

At that moment, Drake heard Mrs. French's voice from behind him.

"You just can't stay out of trouble, can you, Drake?"

Well, Drake thought, this couldn't be going much worse…

Next Chapter: You guessed it- things get worse!

Anyway, hope you liked that chapter and the butt-kickings that Drake handed out. Hopefully Drake doesn't seem like just a normal student.

It may interest you to know that Adam and Max are based on my two very good friends of the same names. Also Danny is named after Danny Glover, the tough-guy star of Predator 2.

Hope you liked the chapter, and remember to read and review!

Oh yeah- bad news- it doesn't look like the Xenomorphs will be appearing until about Chapter 12.
