Ok so chapter 6...REMEMBER TO REVIEW! PLEASE!

DISCLAIMER: NONE OF THE SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT CHARACTERS ARE MINE, BUT BELONG TO THE AUTHOIR DEREK LANDY, THE PLOT IS MINE!

The Dead men's (1600) POV

"So do you think the new girl is gonna be hot?" Asked Saracen cheekily, Skulduggery rolled his emerald eyes at him.

"Seriously, we are about to meet someone who is from 2017, 400 years ahead of us, and all you can think about is if she's hot?" An exasperated Ghastly asked.

Erskine shook his head sadly, "You really need a girlfriend." He said to Ghastly sadly, patting his back. The scarred teenager glared at him.

"What do you think Skul?" Questioned Anton with a small smile.

Skulduggery looked up from his book, "It is SKULDUGGERY for the last time and I dunno, it'll be cool, I guess?" He said, not really giving any thought.

Suddenly, the hall doors opened and Lenka along with another girl dressed all in black walked in. The new girl, looked up and giggled, bringing a smile to Skulduggery's face, he thought she was gorgeous, she was absolutely beautiful he thought. Her giggle was silenced by Lenka and they walked in a confident air up to the front stage.

Skulduggery's (1600) POV

She had the blackest hair, quite like mine but seemingly darker, her brunette locks shone in the light, and looked full and beautiful, her chocolate brown eyes made me get lost in them as she glanced around the room and by taking one glance at my friends I could see all of them liked her, even Anton. Oh no, better make her mine quickly, before they steal her from me.

Over the course of the next 10 minutes we watched the girls on the stage intently, there was just something about Valkyrie - that I had learned her name was - that was so captivating and could make anyone want to listen to her, suddenly in her angelic voice, she used her detective skills to prove Lenka was lying, she was a damn good detective, suddenly whispers erupted in the hall, all talking about her.

Dexter spoke, "She's beautiful." He said with a smile, as if he was thinking about her right now. He probably was, now I want to punch him.

"I know right and have you seen that arse?" Saracen asked with a wink, I growled something under my breath.

"Lads I think we should all back off from her," Anton started with a knowing look in my direction, I went bright red, "I think our friend Skulduggery loves her!" Erskine finished whispering with a huge grin.

I blushed, probably looking like a tomato and immediately looked back at my book, trying to mask my redness.

Valkyrie suddenly asked a question. I stood up as quick as a flash, before anyone else could and answered her, trying to come out polite and kind, she asked me my name with a grin that made my legs jelly and after that, our conversation sadly ended. She asked about fighting next, and our usually grumpy, headmaster Grouse actually smiled at her - something he NEVER did and said that we were able to defend ourselves as long as things didn't get too out of hand, she said with the biggest smile that made my heart flutter that she would be looking forward to P.E., and if she was then so was I.

General POV

"So do you have like dorms?" Asked Valkyrie with a raised eyebrow, it didn't really matter she guessed, if they didn't have dorms here she could just buy a house with all the euros she had in her suitcase - oh being rich was awesome she thought.

"Duh, of course we do, doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out." China said scornfully, standing up. Skulduggery glared at her as well as the other dead men, but she didn't seem to notice. Valkyrie raised an eyebrow.

She said with a bored voice, "Look, I didn't come here for attitude, actually I didn't even choose to come here at all, but now that i'm here I want to let you know China Sorrows, that I don't give two shits about what you think oh and plus where'd you get your clothes? Hmmm, my blessed detective skills are telling me it was bitchfest 1549!" She said with a smirk, the rest of the school erupted with laughter and even headmaster Grouse seemed faintly amused, Valkyrie high fived Lenka and China and her group of idiot friends walked out of the hall.

"Good comeback Cain!" Dexter shouted, she turned to him.

"Thanks!" She replied with a grin, whilst Skulduggery was seething with jealousy.

"Right so dorms?" The dark haired mage said.

"Wait a second," Started Saracen in a loud voice, "How did you know who China Sorrows was?" He asked, immediately everyone turned to Valkyrie who was thinking under pressure.

"Because Saracen," She said and his eyes widened, "I know things." She said with a grin and he grinned back.

"You always say that." Anton says to Rue.

"How does she know your motto?" Asked Erskine.

"WAIT! Does that mean she knows what your power is?" Dexter asked eagerly with wide eyes.

"Oooooooooo you know we have to find out now?" Ghastly said smiling at Saracen who's eyes widened in alarm.

"She better not know, at least I bloody hope not..."

"Do you think she's sharing dorms with us? I mean it's all of us and Lenka and since she brought Valkyrie here, don't you think Grouse will room her with us?" Asked Skulduggery.

"I bet you hope so." Erskine said with a sly grin, the emerald green eyed teenager blushed red yet again.

"Awww, he's blushing." Stated Ghastly and ruffled Skulduggery's hair like a child. He batted the scarred boys hand away and stayed silent.

"Is he pouting?" Asked Saracen quietly.

"He's pouting." Confirmed Dexter.

"LOOK EVERYONE, SKULLY'S POUTING!" Screamed Erskine Skulduggery death glared Erskine as if to say I-am-going-to-kill-you-so-enjoy-your-last-day and YET AGAIN went bright red with humiliation.

"Wait!" Yelled Valkyrie from the stage, making everyone turn round at her, "I have no more questions so since this was supposed to take an hour, you have 45 minutes left and can talk amongst yourselves!" She shouted and everyone whooped and cheered and split up into their different friend groups, Valkyrie's eyes found Skulduggery's and she smiled sweetly, he grinned back and silently thanked her for taking the attention off of him pouting. Thing is, the boys would never stop teasing him for this...

'oh that's a joy of bloody joys' Skulduggery sarcastically thought in his head.
