It was nearing eight in the morning and Delilah Sweetman was waiting for her best friend Jojo in the parking lot at their high school. The two of them always met at Delilah's car before they went inside, but today it seemed Jojo was running late.
"Today of all days..." she sighed.
Today was uniform day for her. Delilah had her sandy colored hair tied up in a neat bun and was wearing a green military dress uniform complete with skin-colored tights, shined shoes, and a nametag with her last name on it pinned in place on the jacket. On one sleeve of the jacket was a patch that showed the school's mascot: a will-o-wisp with an angry face on it. The other sleeve had a patch with a torch with the letters JROTC around it, which stood for Junior Reserve Officer's Training Corps. Her shoulders had her cadet rank, which was staff sergeant.
She checked her phone one last time and saw she had a message from Jojo.
The message said: "I'll be late to school, my Mom is going to bring me. Sorry!"
Delilah sighed and sent a message back: "It's ok, I'll see you when you get here."
She put her phone in her backpack, which she grabbed out of the backseat of her car, and headed inside. Students crowded the halls as they moved from lockers to classrooms to the cafeteria for breakfast and back to classrooms, Delilah got to her locker and put her backpack on the floor as she put her books for her morning classes in the bag and her evening class books in her locker.
"Did you see the new students?"
"Yeah, that one guy was TALL! Where do you think they're from?"
Delilah caught some other students' conversations as they walked by. She tossed her backpack on and shut her locker, slipping off to the councelor's office to try and get a look at the new students. She couldn't see much but managed to see three figures go into the room of the councelor's office where transfer students usually went to get their schedules figured out.
"Hey, Del!" Jojo yelled as he ran over.
"Hey, you made it! Everything ok?" She asked.
"Yeah, just fine. Slept through all my alarms and Mom said she'd drop me off on her way to work, so here I am!" Jojo smiled, then looked around. "Why are you peeking into the councelor's office?"
"New students. Three of them."
The two started walking to the cafeteria to get breakfast, Delilah just settled for a chocolate cereal bar and orange juice while Jojo got a package of mini pancakes and some chocolate milk. The two ate while they walked down the hall to the first class they shared together, which was history. They took their places at the table they were assigned together and finished their quick meals as the bell to start class rang.
(Halfway through class.)
"Class, can I have your attention please?" The teacher said, tapping a ruler against his desk whih made everyone look at him. "We have a few new students coming in today, they'll be here any minute. I want you all to be nice and treat them with respect. Understood?"
The class nodded as the classroom door opened. Three people walked in, two guys and a girl, and the teacher motioned for them to stand in front of the class for a moment as he introduced them.
"These three are the new students; Cameron, Chris, and Cora."
Cora seemed to be the youngest of the three. She had long blonde hair that was pulled up into a ponytail, greenish colored eyes, she had on a white t-shirt over a purple long sleeve shirt, faded jeans, and light greyish high-top sneakers.
Cameron was the second one. He had reddish orange colored hair that was spiked and he had green eyes. He had on a red unbuttoned button-up shirt over a grey t-shirt, ripped faded jeans, and red trainers.
Chris was the last one, visibly the oldest of the three as well as the tallest seeing as he was a bit taller than the teacher. He had short brown hair and brown eyes and was wearing a black t-shirt under a dark brownish colored jacket, camo pants, and dark colored boots.
The teacher looked around the room to find places for the new students, when he spotted three open seats. "You three can go sit with Jojo and Delilah. They're good students, two of my favorites."
Jojo and Delilah just looked at each other as the new students came over and sat down. There was an awkward silence as Delilah took off her uniform jacket and neatly placed it on the back of her chair, then she put on a pair of glasses and opened her history book to the lesson they were working on.
"We're studying the native people that populated our land before the cities were built..." Delilah said in a monotone voice. She was trying to not freak out about new people, she was used to only having Jojo around her. Glancing at her friend, he seemed just as uncomfortable as she did.
The bell rang and the new group of five stood up, Delilah put on her uniforn jacket and grabbed her backpack. Her and Jojo didn't have their next class together, that's because Delilah had JROTC class. The two friends looked at the new students.
"So...where you guys going next?" Jojo asked.
"Biology." Answered Cora and Cameron.
"That's where I'm headed." Jojo said. "You two can walk with me."
The three took off towards the science wing and headed into their shared biology class. Delilah and Chris just stood there for a moment, an awkward silence between them once again.
"So...need me to show you to your next class?" Delilah asked.
Chris handed Deliah his schedule and she grinned as she saw his next class.
"I know exactly where this is at, follow me." She said, handing the schedule back and leading Chris down the hallway.
A short trip down the hall and they arrived at a classroom. Delilah opened the door and revealed more students wearing the same uniform she was. The teacher was a silver haired man in an Arny dress blue uniform. Delilah lead Chris inside and over to the silver haired man.
"Cadet Staff Sergeant Sweetman reporting in, sir!" Delilah said as she saluted the man, who rolled his eyes.
"Atease, Delilah. You don't have to do that every time." The man told her.
"I know, but it's amusing." Delilah smiled, then she motioned to Chris. "This is Chris, he's new."
"General Masters, JROTC instructor here at Spellbound High." General Masters held his hand out for Chris to shake, which he did, but the adult flinched slightly. "Quite a grip ya got there, kid."
The two let go and Delilah led Chris to a built on back room where another cadet was on a computer. Deliah cleared her throat and got the cadet's attention.
"Oh, Delilah! Didn't see you there!" the kid said, looking at Delilah. He then noticed Chris. "Newbie?"
Delilah nodded. "He needs a uniform and PT clothes, Dash."
Dash nodded and hopped up. "Follow me, please."
Dash led Chris into the room with the uniforms to see if they could find anything to fit him. As they did that, Delilah got her uniform inspected.
Moments later, Chris came out of the back room with his uniform and everything he'd need for the class.
Delilah walked over. "Since it's your first day, you don't have to wear your uniform until next week. You DO have to wear your PT clothes tomorrow, though."
(Lunch)
Delilah and Jojo met up at their usual table.
"So, how'd it go in biology?" Delilah asked.
"Not bad, actually. Cora and Cameron got paired up with me and we got our lesson done pretty quickly."
"Hm." Delilah nodded. "Well, Chris is in my JROTC class. He got his uniform and stuff today, I helped him put everything together and went through the basic commands with him. He's a quick learner, I'll give him that."
The two watched as the new students walked their way. Delilah waved at them, then three chairs pulled themselves out much to the new trio's surprise. The three sat down with Jojo and Deliah.
"So, what kind of school is this?" Cora asked.
"Well, it's hard to explain..." Delilah began. "...you see-"
"FIGHT!" Yelled a kid in the hallway.
Delilah and Jojo sighed and stood from their seats. They rushed off, leaving the tree siblings behind before the three decided to follow to see what was going on.
The fight was pretty bad, there were two students that looked like they were in their senior year slamming each other into lockers and there was blood on the floor. Delilah and Jojo stepped forward.
"Ok, that's enough!" Jojo yelled, holding out a hand towards the fighting students. They stopped in place and were lifted off the ground, but one broke free and tried to attack the frozen student.
Delilah handed her uniform jacket to one if the cadets standing nearby, then she rushed at the attacking student and pinned him to the wall by the throat even though he was twice her size.
The boy resembled a demon with reddish skin, black eyes, horns, and a tail. He struggled against Delilah's grip and eventually gave up. The boy that was being held in the air had more reptillian features: scaly skin, a thick tail, claws, and even the spikes that trailed down from his head to his tail.
"You two know better than revealing yourselves outside of training..." Delilah growled, glaring at the two odd boys.
"He ssstarted it!" The lizard boy hissed. "He pulled my tail!"
"He bit me!" The demon boy yelled.
The two tried going after each other again, but Delilah and Jojo held them still. Two armed security officers came and took the two students that were formerly fighting, placing some sort of collars on them which made them turn human again. The demon boy's human appearance had black hair and ice blue eyes, while the lizard boy's human form had blonde hair and yellow-green eyes. The security guards walked them to detention as Delilah got her uniform jacket and put it back on, Jojo held his head as he got a headache.
The duo walked over to the three new students, who were staring in shock and confusion.
Delilah had a slight grin on her face at their reaction. "Welcome to Spellbound High, newbies."
Author's note: Welcome to a big multi-fandom crossover that I came up with out of nowhere!
Delilah is based on me, Jojo is based off of one of my best guy friends: FlaminDead.
Lets play spot the reference, shall we?
1: Can you guess who the three new students REALLY are?(hint: they're videogame characters. Should be obvious seeing the crossover types this story has.)
2: Can you guess who the lizard kid is based off of?(hint: he's a character on a kid's show.)
3: Can you guess which Dungeons and Dragons race the demon boy is based off of?(D&D players should easily know.)
