A/N: Here is chapter four where Abbey is introduced. I changed the Mad Science Teacher's name to Mr. Hackett since it sounds similar to "hatchet" hehe.

Ch. 4 Tutoring Help
October 2013: Week Three
Frankie's POV
Monday: Freedom Fight
Ah, I love my Mad Science classes, where I can put my explosive mind to work. Our Biteology teacher, Mr. Hackett was beginning the lesson.
"Alright class, Today's lesson, Die-section, hehehe."
I was not even fazed at this point that he chucked a giant butcher knife on his desk. I heard Lagoona sitting next to me shaking and tearing up on her face. First time I saw a seafish cry, I will admit it made me feel for her since dissections are unethical in some ways.
"Oh, no not again. Poor little green bros. Do our hearts not beat the same? Does the same green blood not flow through our veins?"
She turns to me.
"This is so wrong. Hey Frankie, I need an assist…since you and me are mates and all."
Wow, she is asking for my help? I smiled and heeded to her request.
"O-oh. You got it, Lagoona. Always happy to lend a hand."
I proceeded to take off my left hand instructing it to creep up to Mr. Hackett's desk as he had his back turned opening the tool cabinet.
Heath's POV
Shit, another fucking AP Mad Science class, not to mention a die-section lesson. Mostly because almost anything I touch pretty much can cause anything to combust. Thankfully, my babe Abbey is my lab partner for this year. I gotta pull that D up to at least a B- so my parents can stop hounding me for my fucking grades.
"Oh, feeling ticklish. Wahahahahaha!"
I suddenly heard Hackett laughing like a banshee. Then a lime green hand on top of the eyeball jar grabbing a few tossing them. Wait a minute. Am I seeing things? That hand looks like-Nah my mind just playing tricks on me.
"Wah, hey watch the hair."
I heard Deuce's girl complain like the spoiled princess she is. Then my bro Deuce got smacked with two eyeballs on his shades. Man, I think I now am starting to like Biteology a bit better.
"Heheh, now this is what I like to call a science lesson."
I was so pumped that I started flinging eyeballs at the other dorks. I heard Abbey is having some fun again at school, for once.
"Oh, this part of lesson? Well, time for Abbey to show skill like ox, da?"
I picked up an eyeball then crouched behind a random seat so that I could aim at the next dork. Ah ha, found you Four Eyes. Time for a little payback for soaking me that day at lunch. I proceeded to chuck an eyeball behind her big ass airhead.
"Ow, hey!"
I ducked before she could see me. Heh, I love making her annoyed, even in Robotics Club. It's not like I want to do the work, but with Robecca only stopping by every two weeks since the club got revived, I just stopped caring since Clawd left for college.
I peeked back up and saw Fish Girl grabbing the three eyed frogs on the table. Who the fuck knows what she's gonna do and who cares?
Frankie's POV
"No worries, we're out dudes."
I heard Lagoona as she grabbed, well, rescued the frogs. Then the bell rings with everyone running out the door. I proceeded to collect my books and walk out.
"Oi, where did everyone go? Well, class dismissed."
I faintly heard Mr. Hackett say before leaving. I wonder who hit me hard with that eyeball? Hopefully I don't have too much eye goop in my hair.
I rendezvoused with Lagoona back by her locker.
"Nice save, where are they?"
I asked with curiosity upon reattaching my left hand.
"I found a place where they can chill."
She said looking to where the ladies room was.
"Ahhhh! Gross!"
You know, at least they have some sort of water there.
Heath's POV
Tuesday: Substitute Creature
Me and my boy Jawke were walking to AP Trig class. Honestly, my AP math classes are pretty chill since the Headmistress teaches the stuff. Without her teaching this class, keeping up my average would be well…let's just say I still would not have my casketball scholarship. Which is why this year I took all the senior math classes. Doesn't help that I had to take English, Biteology, and Chemistry with those classes to prepare for my major, which is a shitfest in itself. I had to take Phys Dead again as an elective to balance out my fuckery of a load, plus it's the only time I can hang with Manny out of the entire school day without his bitchy cyclops girlfriend. Except I gotta wait till the new scaremester for that.
Robecca noticed how well I could understand the stuff which was how I got roped up into joining the Robotics Club in the first place. Hell, at least math doesn't involve any bullshit reading, just regurgitating what the teacher told you and putting it on paper…or in my case, laptop then emailing my assignments to the teacher. Thank you Ghoulia for that suggestion which upped my math grades after sophomore year…least I have one subject I am decent at.
"Hey dude, hear we have a substitute creature today."
Sweet! Don't need to take notes today. Phew, need a break from studying. If you count comics and gaming as studying that is.
"Nice, killer blowoff day then."
Time to sit back and poke fun at today's sub.
No POV
"What happened to the Headmistress?" Lagoona asked the ghouls.
"I heard it was poisonous leeches." Clawdeen said.
"No no, I heard it was a scorching case of carnivorous fleas." Added Draculaura.
"Yaaaagggggh" (I recall hearing she got a yeast infection around her vagina). Stated Ghoulia.
"Ewwwwww!"
"U-ugh, that is ghastly!" Said Frankie, feeling queasy.
Heath's POV
"Quiet down, you little freaks. You two, stop talking!"
Wow, what a fucking idiot. Dip and Dipshit don't even have mouths.
"Now then I am your substitute-"
"Loser!"
Knew the whole class could get a chuckle out of that, except Four Eyes. Well, she is a social freak anyway.
I felt Abbey nudge me. But I was too into being a hotshot at the moment.
"Ah, you. Let's see here…Ah, Mr. Burns, eh?"
"Awww, how sickly sweet of you to remember me. I am touched Mr. "Loser."
The class giggles at my antics. I glanced at Abbey next to me who was rolling her eyes at me. Come on baby, I know you take your school activities seriously. Still love her determination though.
"The name is Zarr, Lou Zarr."
"In case you all forgotten this is AP Senior Trigonocalcometry."
The fuck is that?
"Open your books, since the Headmistress did not provide me with a lesson plan for the next couple weeks till your midterms, we're gonna do the whole book."
The whole class groaned. Fuck this guy, I don't do reading unless the Headmistress asks which Mr. Loser over here ain't.
"Do the whole book? Hope you didn't mean do-"
Before I could finish, I felt Abbey's blue fingers tightly shut my lips.
"Heath, stop nonsense. This is final year, you must take school seri-"
"Hey man, what's up? Hey dude, my brother!"
Yeah, my bro Deuce coming in to clown on the teacher like the bro he is!
"You sir are late!"
"No, I'm Deuce. Deuce Gorgon. Mr. uh, Loser?"
The whole class including myself was snickering.
"I am the authority here! You, take those sunglasses off right in my classroom."
"Man, you don't want me to do that."
"Oh, I insist."
"Oooooh!"
"Man this is gonna be good."
I said quietly while picking up my book that Abbey brought for me so I don't accidentally burn it. I see her rolling her eyes behind her book shield.
Frankie's POV
"Here it comes."
I heard Cleo say as she put her book up. Wait, why is everyone else putting their books up?
"Pssst, hey newbie. Cover your face, quickly!"
"Wha-oh!"
Melody took one arm and covered my face with a spare notebook.
"Sigh, well okay whatever. You got it."
I could hear a strange sound and a green light effect.
"Ummmmph."
Melody lifted the notebook back up off my face.
"Well, Mr. Zarr. It looks like class dismissed."
All of a sudden the whole class started rushing out the door. Before I knew it it was just me and a couple of students left, me, Deuce, and that blue skinned girl.
"Hey man, I tried to warn you. It wears off in a couple of hours…usually."
As Deuce was putting the bucket back on the stone substitute's head, I went up to him asking what happened.
"Hey, uh what just happened?"
"Oh, sorry. I don't think we were properly introduced yet. I guess Cleo did not tell you yet why I wear these shades. You see, uh…"
"Francine, call me Frankie."
I put out a hand to shake, which he shook.
"Deuce, well you know my last name. See, I wear these shades all the time as when I take them off, I turn people who gaze into my eyes to stone."
Ah, so that explains things a bit better. Well, that's good to know.
I saw his phone pinged.
"Well, I gotta go meet up with Cleo."
"Oh yeah. Class is done so see you."
I waved back to Deuce as he was leaving. Meanwhile the blue skinned girl was talking behind me.
"Sigh, immature Deuce. Cause class to stampede like angry yaks."
She lifts the bucket off his head, wow that was nice of her to do.
"Hey um, so is class over?"
Why did I ask her that? My head must not be screwed on straight.
"What you think? Teacher turned to stone. No teacher, no lesson, no class. I go now."
She starts walking out.
"H-hey, wait for me!"
As I walked with her, I saw three girls that had feline like features. Two of them looked like sisters, while the orange one looked to be their leader. She sported long orange hair in a ponytail hair accentuated with black streaks on her side bangs, orange flawless skin, and black and red attire that screams rebel. Lovin' the look!
She and the twin sisters walked up to us.
"Oh, hey Abbey! AP Trig class finished early?"
"Toralei, why you not in class. You as reelected Student Disembody President must be focused for midterms in two weeks."
I wonder if all the seniors are stressing out over the upcoming midterms. I know I am, especially in my AP Trigonometry class where I spend Study Howl period with Ghoulia who is helping me understand the stuff, somewhat. Since the Headmistress has been away, I have been having trouble paying attention in this class even at the start of the scaremester. Wait, I could have sworn I heard the name Abbey before…
"Well, as you know. We are also busy preparing everything for the Homecoming Dance that's scheduled to happen right after scaremester midterm week. You can't multitask too much or you could end up with frown lines."
She looked over at me, snapping me out of my thought process.
"Wow, nice outfit. Totally rocking the fierce red-plaid prep look. You from Belfry? You don't look like a vampire…"
I giggled replying, "Actually, I am an exchange student. I transferred from the UK, this is just my old prep school uniform. Guess I got used to wearing it."
"Aw, how…fierce. Well, since I am done with my student council activities for the day, I'll be heading off to class. Say hi to your hotshot manster for me. Toodles, Abbey!"
She and her cat crew walked down the hall.
"Sigh, Toralei like boyfriend. Both don't take school serious. Goof off like snowman standing still, not getting bigger."
Huh, I like building snowmen though back in the UK…wait hotshot boyfriend? Is she Heath's…girlfriend!?
She turned back to me.
"Ah, apologies, Abbey is Vice President of council. I help President work with welcome committee planning school activities and facilitate over club funding."
"O-oh, haha. I'm Francine, Frankie for short."
I reached out my hand, she shook it with a heavier grip than I anticipated.
"Abbey. Abbey Bominable. Like you, was exchange student too. From Russia."
She glances at her watch.
"Well, since I have time, I go to council and continue work as planned initially for lunch. Frankie, see you."
She waves before walking back the opposite way.
Well, at least she is nice, just straightforward. I guess they make a cute couple?
Heath's POV
Ah, nothing better than a get outta class free card. Score one for the Heathster!
"Hey, Heath. What do you wanna do before lunch? We still got time."
I heard Jawke ask me.
"Uh, to be honest Jawke, I have no fucking idea."
Sheesh, without any losers to slam against lockers what is there to do? I can't bring my PS Vita with me to school right now until midterms are over. Otherwise Abbey would turn me into an ice statue again. And going down to the library ain't worth risking another detention slip from the librarian. God knows how many books I accidentally burnt there while picking on the nerd herd during Study Howl.
Shit, what is there to do?
"Hey, I see a red-plaid mint hottie walking down toward us. I'm gonna go grab her digits real quick, kay bro?"
"Yeah yeah, whatever you want Jawke."
Wish I could also go up to a hot chick and score her digits right about now. I sorta miss those days before the Heathster found the one ghoul for him. But I gotta stay devoted to my Abbey.
"Hey babe. Are you lost, or just shark bait waiting to be nibbled?"
I looked to see who the hottie was that Jawke's gonna score digits from.
Oh, bro fuck no.
I saw Four Eyes staring at her iCoffin, walking down the hall. She ain't wearing her glasses for once. Like on Picture Day…dude, focus.
I saw her lookup, I hid behind one of the lockers so she would not see me while looking at my iCoffin. I got an email notification, ah it's from Hackett again. Meh, probably nothin' to worry about.
"I said, no thank you!"
Yes!…I mean, Jawke can do better. As I peeked back out, I saw the dude get zapped.
Damn, she knows how to take no for an answer, like Abbey. I grinned, the Heathster like.
Wednesday: Combusted Chemistry
I checked the notification on my inbox. Heh, it's from Hackett. What, is he gonna tell me bullshit again about how much I blow up the lab each time? Wait wait, or to stop bullying the Science dorks. Hehe.
Email:
