Wednesday

Frankie's journal:

Well yesterday was… interesting but today will be better. I'm going to try out some clubs at school. First chess, then swim team, and maybe some volunteer work. Maybe Manny and I will walk to and from school now. At least till one of us get our licenses.

Frankie closed her Journal and walked to the mirror. She was still pale from fainting yesterday. Her farther said not to shock anybody or cry a lot. Frankie couldn't promise that because it just happens sometimes like when she gets scared or sad.

After getting dressed she walked into the medieval looking kitchen. She heard her father laugh and make a joke about something. Turning around she gasped and jumped a little too she Manny sitting at the table laughing with her father. In a confused tone Frankie wakes over.

"Hi Manny?"

"Hi Frankie, your dad was just telling me some stories about living in Transylvania. Now what did the normies do after you busted through the castle doors?"

Her dad chuckled a little "they screamed 'It's Frankenstein's monster!' and they ran for their miserable little life's." they both laughed.

"Dad that's not funny!" Frankie scolded stomping her foot.

"I'm sorry sweetie but normies back then and even now don't like us monsters. Naturally they are scared of things that they don't understand." He father said "but it's just so much fun scaring them."

Frankie just glared at her father. Manny laughed at him for being scolded by his daughter. She snapped her gaze to Manny who stopped and cleared his throat.

"Well we should be getting to school. It was nice talking to you sir. Come on Frankie."

Frankie kissed her father good bye and gave her mom a hug.

Manny and Frankie walked to school and talked about all the clubs and actives that are at monster high. He said he was on the casketball, scream roller maze, frightball, and track teams. He was the biggest monster at school so it was easy to play all sports. Frankie wished she could be like him and be able to do lots of activities and have lots of friends. He reassured her that if she tried hard and is nice she'll be fine. She wondered how Manny became the school bully.

"Manny why are you the school bully?" Frankie caught him of guard.

"I don't know I guess it's the bull genes that make me aggressive with new people. I don't mean to be like that it's just in my DNA."

"I'm not like my parents scaring people and destroying everything in sight. Dad said he gave me a brain that was from a professor. That's why I was a fast learner when it can to reading and writing. That's also why I don't have a destructive bone in my body. It's not DNA it's what you what you were taught."

"I guess your right… Thanks Frankie"

Not realizing that they were at school. They said their good byes and went their separate ways.

School was alright that day she sat with Draculaura and Clawdeen at lunch. Got hit on again by Heath. After school she went to chess club and play a game with a zombie. She didn't know how to play, she played it like checkers and hoped over three pieces at once and yelled 'GOAL!' Everyone just looked at her and she realized that wasn't how you played chess. She just left.

"Well that was a major fail"

"What's a major fail mate?"

She turned around to see a beautiful monster with blonde and blue hair with tropical flowers in it. She also had blue skin with scales that weren't very noticeable till she walked up to Frankie.

"Uh I tried to join the chess team but I didn't know how to play."

"It's alright love. You just need to find something you love and are good at."

"Thanks, I'm Frankie Stein by the way." She stuck out her hand.

"I'm Lagoona Blue." Grabbing Frankie's hand and shaking it. Frankie noticed that her hands were webbed and very dry.

"Are you ok? Your hands are very dry."

"Yeah mate I'm fine, it happens when I'm outta water for long periods of time. It's OK though I'm going to swim team now."

"Me too can I walk with you?"

"Sure mate."

Lagoona told Frankie about different strokes butterfly, back stroke, doggy paddle etc. all the way to the locker room. Also about how she was a sea monster from the Great Scarrier Reef and has a crush on a fresh water monster named Gil but they could never be together because their families would never get along. Fresh water and salt water doesn't mix very well.

After changing into their bathing suites they walked to the pool. Lagoona climbed up a ladder to the diving board. Frankie just watched in awe as Lagoona jumped off the diving board doing a triple back flip then dived into the pool perfectly barely making a splash. Frankie just stood there with her mouth open.

"Alright mate it's your turn." Lagoona said getting outta the pool,

Frankie just stood there not moving.

"I don't know how to swim…"

"It's all right love just jump in and instincts with kick in. Just don't panic."

"Okay"

Frankie took a deep breath and jumped in. it wasn't so bad Lagoona was right her instincts kicked in and she started to swim. It was ok for a few seconds till it happened the electricity surged through the pool shocking every monster who was unfortunate to be in there. Screamed echoed throughout the room making Frankie cry in fear her and everyone in the pool jumped out.

"I'M SO SORRY!" she cried running to the locker room.

Frankie had never changed so fast in her life. Running from the locker room into the hallway. Not knowing where she was going she ran into Headmistress Bloodgood. 'OH GREAT' Frankie thought 'I'm going to get in trouble again.'

"Frankie are you okay? What's wrong?"

"I'm so sorry headmistress I did it again. I shocked everyone in the pool I'M SORRY!" Frankie fell to her knees in a front of the headmistress.

"Frankie its ok just go wait in my office I'll be there in a few minutes." Bloodgood said picking Frankie up.

"Yes ma'am"

Several minutes had pasted while Frankie sat in Bloodgood's office. Frankie was so scared to hear her punishment. Was she going to be put in detention or expelled at monster high? Was she going to call her parents? The first time she shocked Manny was self-defense, but this time it was more than just one person it's was several. Suddenly she remembered her parents telling her not go around water for this very reason. She sat in the chair with her head in her hands crying. She heard the door open behind her turning to see who it was, Lagoona entered.

"Hey there mate are you ok?"

"No I shocked people because I thought I was going to be good at swimming, but my electricity will hurt everyone, this is the second time this week I've shocked someone and Bloodgood said if I did it again was going to be in trouble." Frankie sank in her seat covering her face crying harder. Lagoona put a comforting hand on Frankie.

"It's going to be all right love. You didn't know… I'm sure..."

"That's just it I did know. My parents had told me to say away from water but it slipped my mind. I could have really hurt someone or worse… I've already been in here once this week for the same reason."

"It'll be ok Frankie we all have bad days…it will…"

"Bad day? Try a bad week Lagoona! I could have killed someone! Now I'm most likely going to get expelled!" Frankie jumped up sparks flying.

"Frankie clam down...It's…"

"I WILL NOT CALM DOWN!" Frankie stood up clenched her fist and slammed them a Bloodgood desk breaking it in half. Frankie's bolts were sparking, she didn't feel any better so she started destroying everything in Bloodgood's office. She through books and pictures. Knocked over shelf's broke mirrors and windows. Frankie was feel better until she heard a voice that made her cringe. "MISS. STEIN WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY OFFICE!" turning to see Bloodgood in the door way. Frankie's anger turning into fear and regret. Looking around at what she had done something caught her eye. Lagoona sitting in the corner. Blood was running down her face. Lagoona stood and walked to Frankie. Tears in both of their eyes. Lagoona hugged Frankie. Both falling to the ground crying.

"It's ok Frankie."

Frankie cried harder "I'm just like my parents."
