Kevin sighed as he waited for the lecture to be over. Nat sat beside him, doodling himself with muscles that were overrated and bulgy on the Syllabus that had been placed in front of him. He had this quirky grin on him that made it seem like his intentions were more vulgar than what was intended.
Mr. Lubezki, His first period Biology teacher, and fellow Were, was speaking about the final additions to the syllabus, and the final page that needed their parent's signature. The man was tall, and had his hair neatly combed to the side, his gray hairs complementing him nicely. As the teacher continued, the young werewolf nudged his friend. "Hey Nat, what do you have after this?" Kevin asked, already ignoring what was happening at the front of the class.
Nat reached into his pocket, still trying to draw his self-portrait with the opposite hand, and took out his slightly wrinkled schedule. "I have…Algebra, with Luzpeck. Hey, you think I can convince her to let me take a small nap during the syllabus explanation?" The teal haired boy questioned.
Kevin looked at Nat with a face of exasperation. "Nat, you're going to make your teachers hate you by the end of the day." He sighed. The Succubus put on a face of mock offence. "Kevin! I would never- yeah you're right. This is gunna be one hell of a High School year." Nat Grinned.
Kevin sighed as he shook his head. "If you get into trouble with any of the teachers, don't even think about dragging me down with you." Nat grinned at him, as if there were no worries in the world for him.
"Alright then, class, It's an, in all fairness, Simple first year assignment that even you freshman can accomplish. Just have the two forms at the back of the syllabus signed and turned in, and you'll be receiving your first 100% grade for the year." Mr. Lubezki yawned, placing the master copy on his desk. "If there are no more further questions, you may all proceed to get to know one another." He nodded his head.
After a few seconds of shuffling around the room, the class began to speak freely as the students moved over to any recognized friends. Kevin laid his head onto his fist as Nat stretched out into his chair. In front of them, a long haired teen, possibly a Girl, slammed their hand onto the table. "Whew, that was so long, I feel like my Brain is combusting in some parts of it." Could heard from them-Him-, and what sounded like a warning from the teacher, although Kevin didn't pay much mind to it as he looked back over to the drawing on Nat's Syllabus.
"Dude, you have the biceps and figure all wrong. You look like you got stung by, like, 2,000 Bees or something!" Kevin laughed at the scowl Nat put on. "Kevin, can you not see how perfectly my drawing perceives my good looks and obviously masculine figure?" He said with a matter of fact tone. Kevin huffed. "What good looks? It looks more like a dead rat to me." He sniggered when Nat tried to swipe at him. "Why you little-!" Nat was interrupted by the bell, signaling that it was time to move on to the next class.
Kevin stood from his seat, Nat following as he shoved his schedule back into his pocket. "So I'm guessing now you'll be going to meet with Naz then?" Nat raised a brow. "Yeah, pretty much. It won't be until lunch that I'll be seeing you again." Nat dramatically put a hand to his heart. "I'll miss you, dude." Kevin grinned as he brought an arm around the blue teal haired boy's neck, giving him a noogie. "Shut up, ya idiot."
Nat yelped, struggling not to laugh. "Kevin, no! Not the hair!" There was a clearing of the throat, and both monsters looked up to see their teacher looking at them, clearly not amused with their antics. "No rough housing please. I don't want to be the one held responsible for any injuries." Kevin removed his arm, giving the teacher a sheepish grin. "Sorry, Mr. Lubezki. It won't happen again." Nat butted in with a lopsided grin. "Yeah! No more messing around. Scouts honor." He gave a serious nod.
rolled his eyes. "I sincerely doubt that, but thank you for the effort." The elder were monster returned to his seat, preparing the next batch of copied syllabi. "Remember to get those forms signed!" He yelled to the retreating forms of his students. Kevin and Nat snickered as they went on their way to their next class.
Hangin out with Naz was fun for the most part. , their Algebra teacher, had turned out to be a pretty fun instructor. She allowed them to have a small group activity, and then presented them with taffy. After that, the Siren had nodded her head and allowed the class to mingle. She seemed to have gotten distracted by the same boy that was in his first period, said brunette talking animatedly with her.
He did notice that next to the boy was Ed, one of the dweebs that was known for being part of the infamous duo, The Ed boys. That bird for brains was shoving a pencil up his nostril, and Kevin scoffed. "That's definitely going poke into his brain." Kevin said, nudging Naz, who was looking at her phone. Looking up, she watched as Ed shoved another pencil into the other, empty one. She winced, pitying the boy. "Poor Ed. He's always doing things that'll end up hurting him. Someone should really teach him properly the rights and wrongs." She huffed, her gills opening wider with the breath.
"He hangs out with Eddy, Naz. No one is going to change the way he acts. The way that he is now, it'll take a miracle to change his antics. Besides, Eddy wouldn't let just anyone around them. He may be a dweeb, but he does care a lot about Ed." Naz deflated slightly, sighing and laying her head onto a neatly manicured hand.
"I know. But I guess I can understand. They were inseparable when they were kids." She adjusted herself to sit up straight. "Enough about that." She said, looking away from Ed, who was now making faces at the teen next to him. "what are you having after this? I wanna see if I have you in any other classes."
After pulling out their schedules, Naz was disappointed to find that she had no other classes with the werewolf. "You just had to take art instead of culinary, didn't you?" She gave Kevin a sour look. Kevin grinned at her, placing a hand on her hear, patting her hair. "Sorry about that, but I've burnt water before. Plus Nat would have wanted in, and then we'd be dealing with kitchen fires everyday. " Naz giggled into her hand. "What are we gonna do with you two goofballs?"
Kevin shrugged, grinning at the girl. "Well, I know what I'm going to do. I'm joining Football as soon as tryouts are announced." Naz shook her head in exasperation. "Typical."
"What?! It's not like it's anything I haven't done before." A nicely sculpted brow was raised. "It's the only thing you've ever done. And you hardly get any time to hang out with your friends." She puffed her cheek, annoyed with the redhead. "But Naz! You know that football is my life! I can't just not join! It's like a siren song that calls to me." past by then, raising her brow in amusement at the boy. He let out a nervous chuckle, hoping that he didn't offended the woman. Seeing as she walked away with no complaint, he was in the clear for now.
"You know how much Football means to me." He said seriously. Naz just shook her head, before looking him straight in the eye. "Fine! But you better not go off joining other sports. Football will take enough of your time already." Kevin nodded in agreement, as he knew that football would tire him out enough. "Promise." She looked like she was going to say more, but decided against it. "Just don't be a stranger, okay?"
"Naz, It's me. I'm never gunna leave you guys. You'll be more annoyed that I'm still around by the end of the year." Naz punched his shoulder. "Yeah, we probably will. But thanks for the warnings. It'll give us plenty of time to prepare excuses if necessary." She snickered at Kevin's annoyed expression.
"Alright class! Time to pack up! The bell will be ringing in just a bit so you better start packing!" The sound of backpacks unzipping and papers being stuffed into bags was heard around the room as Kevin dumped his pencil mechanical pencil into his bag. Naz placed the paper into a folder she was carrying around, and Kevin figured she had left her bag in her locker.
Just then, the bell sounded off and the students were released to their next classes. Ed yelled loudly pulled out of the room. Kevin looked over to Naz, as if she could explain what was just witnessed. The mermaid simply shrugged. They stopped outside of the classroom, stepping aside for any students entering. "I'll see you at lunch then?" Kevin grinned.
"Definitely."
French was going by like a breeze. Fortunately for him, he had Johnny with him in this class, who yelled out his name the moment he entered.
Unfortunately Eddy was in the class with him, and he could see when the Leprechaun would send dirty faces over to him. The midget would then snicker and turn over to his pal sitting next to him. A sweet looking, pale boy who wore a dark beanie over his head. It almost covered the boys eyes, covering the eyebrows.
Of course Kevin didn't pay anymore attention after the teacher had walked up to the front and started introducing themselves as . The woman, by the way slime seemed to drop from her heals onto the ground, was a Sludge Monster. She walked around the class, her slim body rippling every now and then, dropping a slightly larger amount of sludge than before. "Today, class, we will be learning the alphabet in French. Now, can anyone tell me what the closest language to French is?"
No one raised their hand, and looked slightly dissapointed. "Really? No one? Well, the closest language would be-"
"Actually, there are three languages that vary close to The language. Them being Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian. Italian being the most alike." and most of the class turned their attention to the right side of the class. Specifically to the table where Eddy sat next to the beanie wearing Kid. "French is also known to be one of the simpler versions of Latin, where many different languages, including Romanian, stemmed off of." The boy neatly clasped his hands over the table.
"Well!" said with astonishment, grabbing the rest of the class's attention. "Very impressive, Mr.-?" She trailed off.
"Eddward, ma'am. With two D's." Said the teen.
" . I expect more from you. Already I am seeing a star pupil. Keep up the good work." The Sludge Monster then turned her gaze back to the rest of the monsters in the class. "Now, I am going to say a word, and you as a whole will repeat after me. Alright?" The students gave half hearted nods and sounds of agreement.
Of course after that, Kevin decided to space out. Every once in a while he would look to his side because Johnny would yell out an obviously wrong answer, and the class would snicker at his idiocity. would sigh, then tsk at the boy and tell him he was very far off. Pretty soon the bell rang and he found himself, and a herd of other monsters, making their way to the cafeteria, Johnny talking his ear off beside him.
As he looked around, Johnny pulling out plank from his bag to mumble to him, Kevin spotted Naz waving her hand, trying to get their attention. Rolf was already sitting with them, the Yeti holding Gertrude in his arms. Nat was trying to pet the chicken, but a quick swipe of the beak had him flinching back. The Succubus rubbed at his hand, still grinning at the chicken while Rolf praised his pet.
"C'mon Johnny, I found our seats." He said as he dragged the boy by his collar over to the table that consisted of their childhood friends.
Now by dragged, this is meant quite literally. Johnny is a Skeleton, but not as the kind that you would think. Skeletons, when referring to monsters, actually have plenty of flesh on their structure. They could walk about looking like any normal human or creature, and not be questioned as being out of the ordinary.
It's only when threatened that Skeletons show that they are not normal. ,Skeletons blacken their flesh, making their bones begin to shine through their skins, creating a horrifying display of walking, well, 'Skeletons'. When needed, they can dislocate their jaws to become much more wider and let out a screeching roar to look more menacing. Of course, they are actually quite fragile and, if needed, will shed their skins to become even more lighter to outrun predators. The great side to having their flesh is that it is much more lighter than that of the lightest of feathers, making Skeletons easy to haul around.
"Gee, Kevin! You sure are tough! You can drag pretty much anyone without hassle!" The boy said happily, waving Plank around. Kevin rolled his eye's. "Yeah, yeah. Bone head."
Johnny was roughly seated onto one of the open chair next to Rolf, Kevin taking his own next to Nat. The succubus waited no time in explaining how he totally got on the good side of most of his teachers. "One even let me leave class early because we were so chill." He grinned. Kevin raised his brow over to Naz, who sighed in annoyance.
"I heard that he wouldn't shut up so the teacher just gave him a slip to get out of class." The Mermaid told, not looking the least bit surprised. "Makes sense, none of the teachers could ever handle your blabbermouth."
Nat gasped in horror, acting hurt and betrayed. He was ignored by most of them, though Johnny laughed at the Teal haired boy. "You sure couldn't ever get on a teacher's good side in middle school, it's no surprise you couldn't here!" He cackled, holding up Plank as he laughed. The bone meal covered wood simply smiled with its permanently plastered grin.
"I can't help it if teachers can handle my majestic attitude." Nat spoke, as if the reason explained everything. "Nat, that's not how things work.." Naz sighed. She shook her head. "Hey have you guys herd? Apparently there's a new kid here who just moved into the empty house in the Cul. I think it's the cutie The Ed's have been hanging around." she stared pointedly at somewhere behind Kevin.
Kevin turned around, trying to see what she was looking at. Sure enough, the Ed dorks were sitting at a table with two others, one standing and the other sitting. They had their backs toward Kevin, but he was pretty sure the one standing was the kid he saw Ed talking to. He looked back at naz, raising a brow. "Which one?" He asks, not very interested in the conversation, because, well, no one really cared about the Eds.
"I think it the one with the black beanie. Though I could be wrong." She said, leaning to try and get a better look at the sitting boy. Kevin leaned his chin onto his hand. "Great. Just what we needed, another dweeb. And by the looks of it, we'll be seeing more of the standing dweeb too." He scoffed. Naz reached over, smacking him upside his head. "Stop being mean, you bully."
Kevin rubbed his head, grunting. "I'm not being mean. That's just how I am. " Nat snickered. "This is why you can't get any butt, Kevin." The sucubus's cackles were swiftly silenced with a kick to the shin from underneath the table. "Ow!" He screeched. "Not cool, man!"
"Look, I just don't care what those dweebs do, or who their friends with, just as long as they stay out of my way and don't mess up my reputation." He said as he sat back in his chair. "But you don't have a reputation, Kevin!" Johnny said as he fiddled with Plank. Naz snickered, bringing a hand up to stifle them. "Shut up! I'll get one soon enough! I'm going to be the star quarterback! People are bound to want me to go out with them." He held his chin, smirking. "Plus I'm hot."
"Ha! Aunt's Grimilda's prized sheep is more Handsome than Kevin!" Rolf exclaimed, causing their whole table to roar with laughter.
"Hey! That's not funny!" Was the reply Kevin screeched that fell to deaf ears.
English was a hassle, so was Art. Of course, Art was quite more fun because he was able to sit next to Nat, but other than that, Mr Hale, their Art teacher, was quite strict.
"If you even think of throwing paint around my room, I'll make you clean the cafeteria for the next month." He said not too lightly. Apparently a couple years back, someone had decided to have a paint fight in his classroom, causing a giant mess of colors to be splattered all over the place. The class decided to heed his warning, and even Nat stayed quite during the introduction.
Now they were in gym, and already Mr. Cove, the Boy's Coach, had them in their gym uniform.
"Alright! First things first, we will always have a stretch routine. I want all of you to give me 20 jumping jacks, counting in sync, now!" He yelled into his bullhorn. Most of the students groaned, getting into position. Together, they did their stretches, and got on the teachers good side. Of course, it was too good to be true.
In the middle of their knee stretch, nat decided to voice out his opinion. "This is pretty lame. I would have figured that gym would have been more of a workout." Nat said, and quite loudly too. You could practically see the eyebrow twitch on the Coach's face. "Damnit Nat! Shut up!" Kevin hissed, elbowing the other teen. "Ow! Stop hitting me!" The teal haired boy growled back. The coach approached them, not looking too amused. "I'm sorry, I didn't quite get that."
"Uhh..It was nothing, Coach." Nat fumbled, scratching the back of his neck. "Now, now, no need to look so afraid. We're all pals here." There was a dark gleam in the Devil's eye. "C'mon now, Kid. You can tell us what you said." Shit, Kevin thought. This didn't look too good. "Um, I already forgot? Ehehehe?" Nat squeaked. "Really now? You!" The coach suddenly pointed at a tall, dirty blonde, pale Kid. "It seems that Mr. Succubus here has forgotten what he's said. Care to fill in his blank?"
The Kid scratched his head for a moment before shrugging. "He said our workout was lame." The boy said nonchalantly. There was a sound of someone slapping their forehead in the group of groans that echoed around them. "That's exactly what I heard. Well, Mr. Succubus. Looks like you just caused me to reschedule the 5 lap run around the track for tomorrow to now. Good job." The devil smiled, grinning with sharp teeth.
It soon turned into a snarl as Coach Cove yelled "Move it!" Everyone took off, Kevin and Nat jogging together. It was on their third lap that They decided they'd had enough, and decided to walk for a bit. "Jeez! You can't ever shut up can you?" Kevin grumbled to his best friend. "These lips can never be sealed, Kev." Nat said with a grin. Kevin rolled his eye's, scoffing. "This is why all your teachers hate you."
Kevin's ear suddenly twitched, as the sound of laughter and Heavy footfalls Approached them with impressive speed. Kevin's walk slowed as he turned to look back, Nat continuing to talk, not noticing his friends change. "I told you, Kev! They just can't handle my Amazing-GAH!" Was all that left Nat's lips as someone crashed into his back. They landed with a heavy thud, a mess of limbs.
Kevin cackled at his friend, pointing as he tried his best to stop his guffaws. Nat hissed as he held his head, eye's tearing up slightly. The body that landed on him gave a small gasp, quickly getting off of him and frantically waving their arms. Oh. Kevin finally thought, as he chuckled. He knew who this was.
"I am SO sorry!" The person said to Nat. "I wasn't, like, looking where I was going, exactly, because I was running backwards because stupid Sebastian said I couldn't and I had to prove him wrong because I hate being doubted and-" The person continued. Nat finally decided to look up, and he couldn't help but blink. The first thing that came to mind was Hair. Nice, Long, Brown hair.
" Really this is mostly His fault. Anyway, are you ok?" Said the boy from their first Hour class. The boy Kevin had seen with Ed, and with the other dweebs.
