Ok well here's another High School story. There is a scene in here with mostly DaveXSky, but it was kinda developing characters and helping fill in some space. If you haven't noticed yet either, I'm trying to fit all characters in here, call them little cameo's if you will. Some will appear more than others, and some will only appear once. For instance, Sammy will appear more often, while people like Heather or LeShawna will only appear once in a while.
TDHS EP 2
Mike's alarm clock went off, just as it normally did. Mike opened his eyes, and sat up in his bed. He threw up his arms and yawned. The alarm continued to go ring until Mike pressed a button on it, shutting it off.
Mike went into his daily routine, except this time, with a big smile on his face. When he went downstairs, his father was already halfway out the door.
"I've got to go early today Mike, have a good day at school!" Mike waved goodbye and walked up to a cupboard, searching for breakfast. After moving some boxes out of the way, he finally settled on some pop tarts, and grabbed one.
Mike sat at the table and ate his breakfast happily, when his mother walked in.
"You look awfully happy today." She said to him, grinning.
"Sure am." Mike replied. Mikes mother just smiled and walked back into the kitchen.
Soon after, Mike said goodbye to his mother, and ran out the door after the bus.
*At Stanford High School*
Mike hopped off the bus happily and walked up to the front doors of the school. On the other side of the doors, he walked up the stairs to the second floor. Then, he reached his locker and set his backpack down.
"Morning, MIKE!" Startled, Mike dropped his books, and grabbed onto his lockers door for support.
"Ugh, hey Scott." Mike said as he noticed the redhead's appearance.
"So...I noticed that you and that new girl have become friends. That's nice. It would be a shame if she found out about your MPD..." Scott said, leaning against the lockers and looking off into the sky as if he didn't care.
"N-No! Please don't! Scott you can't be serious." Mike said, trying to remain calm. Scott just smirked at Mike's nervousness.
"Oh I am, and I will. That is... If you do what I say...maybe then I'll forget about your M.P.D." Scott threatened. Just then, Zoey walked into the hallway and started making her way towards Mike and Scott. "Remember what I said, Mike." Mike started sweating and nodded.
"Hey Mike! Um, hi...uh...what was your name again?" Zoey asked Scott.
"Oh it doesn't matter. I'll see ya around Mike." Scott said grinning. Zoey watched him go, and then turned back to Mike.
"Who was he?" Zoey asked him. Mike faked a smile and rubbed the back of his neck.
"Oh him? That's Scott." Mike answered.
"Oh. Well anyway, what's up?" Zoey asked, the smile returning to his face.
"Nothing really. Ready for chemistry?" Mike asked her, while trying to take his mind off of his conversation with Scott.
"Totally. I really like Mr. Franklin. He's nice." Zoey said.
"Yeah, plus he doesn't give us much homework." Mike responded. Both of them arrived at chemistry, and continued to talk to each other till first period started and Mr. Franklin started class.
"Today class I would like to show you a little example of some of the things we will be doing this year." Mr. Franklin began. The clock showed that the class was almost over, and the students sat in their seats, as Mr. Franklin walked through the aisles handing out packets.
Once Zoey received hers, she opened it and scanned the page. "Wow, we do a lot of cool stuff!" She said to Mike.
"Yeah, last year in Biology, we did a lot of fun stuff too. I hope this class is as fun as that one." Mike told her. Me. Franklin then spoke up in front of the rest of the class,
"Children, today I will hand you packets of a lab. You will go to your designated station with a partner and perform the experiment till the end of class, where we will continue tomorrow." He explained. Me. Franklin then began walking down the aisles handing out packets.
Zoey leaned over to Mike and whispered,
"Wanna be partners?" Mike smiled at the request and nodded,
"Y-Yeah!" Zoey and Mike received their packets, and moved over to their designated lab table. On their left, was Dave and Sky who were working with a Bunsen burner; while on their right were Dawn and Scott working on some fluids in a bottle. Mike and Zoey were working with two cans of soda and a tub of water.
"Well, if we read the directions, apparently we're comparing density between this diet soda and regular soda." Zoey read out. Mike picked up the two cans of soda and looked them over. One read 'Diet' while another was just the regular brand of soda. The directions instructed to put the two cans of soda I to the tub of water and measure their differences in density.
"Ok so I guess I'll just put these two into the tub, and we'll measure the density. Okay?" Zoey said, looking at Mike and smiling.
"Yeah I guess. Here, I'll get them..." Mike reached for the icy cold cans. Once he grabbed them, he turned to Zoey and was about to hand them to her when all of a sudden, he sneezed, and the slippery cup fell out of his hand and hit his foot. Mike gasped,
"Aaah! Stupid can! I swear if I get hit by another lousy thing today, I'm gonna-" Mike (or Chester) began ranting. However, when Mike sneezed, his 'mucus' landed on Dave's arm. He was too distracted, though, to notice as he was staring at Sky.
"Um…Dave?" Sky asked him, staring at his arm.
"Wha…" Dave said, clearly in a trance. Sky pointed to his arm and he slowly took his eyes off Sky, and to his arm. The second he noticed the germs on his arm, he flipped.
"Uh…UH….AHHH! G-Get it off! Get! It! Off!" Dave began scraping at his arm frantically, as though it was some contagious disease. Thankfully, Dave's fanaticism was so loud and distracting, that Zoey didn't take much notice to Mike as he was still Chester.
"Darn kid! He should pay more attention to-" Mike gasped and stared vacantly at Dave. 'Wait…what? Oh man did I just do that in front of Zoey?!' he quickly looked at Zoey, to see if she was staring at him weirdly. Thankfully, she was paying too much attention to Dave's freaking out, to notice. Once again, Mike had dodged the bullet.
"Dave? Dave what's wrong?" Mr. Franklin began making his way over to Dave and Sky's lab area when Sky put her hands on Dave's shoulders and looked him in the eyes.
"Dave! Calm down! It's just a bit of germs, you're ok." Sky said calmly. Dave's wide eyes stared back at her, and began to relax. His shoulders relaxed into a slump, and he smiled.
"Y-Yeah…yeah just…just a bit of germs…nothing harmful…just germs…haha…" Half of class was now staring at the incident and Mr. Franklin walked over to the pair and looked at Dave.
"Um, Dave? Do you want to go to the nurse?" He asked Dave. Dave shook his head 'no' and continued staring at Sky, who smiled back at him. "Oooookkkk, well that's enough action for one day class. What time is it?" He asked to nobody in particular.
"8:45!" Courtney called out.
"Thank you Courtney. Well, it seems we only have 5 minutes left class. Clean up your station for the next class, and copy the homework on the board. We will continue these labs tomorrow." Mr. Franklin instructed. The class complied with his orders and began to clean up their stations.
"It's too bad we didn't really get to work that much on our lab. By the way, what was with the old man routine?" Zoey asked mike. Mike froze. 'SHE KNOWS?!' he panicked. Immediately, his face turned red and he began sweating. 'What if she begins thinking I'm a freak because of my MPD?'
"Haha, um…what do you mean?" Mike said, putting his hands up in a questioning manner. Zoey raised an eyebrow.
"You know, that little gig you did acting as an old man?" Zoey continued. Mike thought quickly. He had to come up with something to avoid coming to his MPD….
"I want to be an actor when I grow up! Yeah, I'm just practicing ya know? Haha…" Mike stared at her waiting for her response. Zoey stared for a moment as though she was thinking over his response, and smiled weakly.
"Oh…ok. That's cool I didn't know you wanted to be an actor." Zoey said. 'Phew!' Mike thought and relaxed.
"Um, yeah…you know like, I want to be one of those guys in the movie Total Warriors 2 you know? Hehe, yeah…" Suddenly, Zoey's eyes lit up.
"Oh wow! You like Total Warriors 2? I love Total Warriors 2!" The second the conversation changed from his personality (Chester), Mike was relieved, and now somewhat excited that Zoey enjoyed something he liked too. Before he could respond, the bell rang, and Mr. Franklin dismissed the class. They both finished cleaning up their lab area and picked up their stuff. Mike and Zoey walked to the gym, talking about Total Warriors 2. They walked together, and separated once they got to the locker rooms.
*In the girls locker room*
Zoey walked into the locker room and set her backpack down on a bench, just like she did before. Once again, she heard voices coming from the other side of the room,
"Samey!" Amy shouted.
"Y-Yes?" Came the reply. Zoey peered over, just as she did the last time, and saw Samey waiting expectantly.
"Seriously, if you skip out on me during lunch like you did yesterday, I'll tell everyone that you insult me whenever you can, and that you blame everything on me. I'll tell them that you want all the attention for yourself, and steal my stuff!" Amy threatened. Zoey, seeing that her friend was in need of help, decided to step in,
"Um, hi…she only didn't go with you because she was with me…sorry. I hope that was ok?" Amy looked at her as though she couldn't believe that she was speaking to her, or as though she was insulted that Zoey was speaking to her.
"Ugh, so you're the one my sister was telling my mom about? Listen, stay away from my sister, I don't want to see either of you together. That means NOT AT LUNCH!" Amy announced, pointing a finger at Zoey. Zoey backed off with her hands in the air as defense.
"O-Oh, s-sorry!" Zoey quickly ran out of the locker room and back into the hallway where Mike was waiting for her.
*Back outside in the hallway*
Mike waited patiently for his one true friend to meet him in the hallway. He considered himself lucky to have such a good friend as Zoey. For once, his life was normal, and not full of despair and loneliness. Just thinking of it, made him smile to himself. Zoey walked into the hallway and walked over to Mike.
"Hey Mike." Zoey said, in a rather down tone. Mike noticed her attitude, and remembered that she looked practically the same way yesterday when she left the locker room. 'What goes on in there?' he wondered.
"What's wrong? Is something bugging you?" He asked her. She shrugged.
"Well…I have a feeling that Amy doesn't like me…and she said that I can't see Sammy anymore…" Zoey said. Mike frowned.
"I…I'm sorry. I just met Sammy too, and it seemed like she was a cool person…but I guess there's nothing to do about it now…" Mike's shoulders slumped and he stared at his feet. "Besides, Amy is pretty mean, she's so-" Mike was suddenly cut off when Amy and Sammy returned from the locker room. Amy was staring at him curiously. Mike began to sweat again and smiled nervously. Amy then grunted and pulled her twin along with her. Zoey and Sammy exchanged sad smiles before they were again separated by a group of students.
"Yeah…I guess that's it…"
"Uh-uh girlfriend, just 'cause someone tells you that you can't hang out with your friend, doesn't mean you listen to them." A voice came from behind them. Mike and Zoey turned around and saw an African American girl leaning against the wall, filing her nails.
"Oh. You think so?" Zoey asked. The other girl nodded.
"I'm sure of it honey. Nobody tells me what to do. Name's LeShawna by the way." She said, introducing herself.
"I'm Zoey." Zoey introduced herself.
"And I'm Mike." Mike said behind Zoey.
"Nice to meet ya'll. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to check out that nice looking guy over there! Mhm!" LeShawna said, walking over (almost as if she were mesmerized) towards Alejandro. Mike and Zoey watched her go. Just then, Harold, an orange haired geek, walked up beside them.
"NOOOOOO! LeShawna my love! I will prove my might to thee in this next gym class!" Harold vowed as he chased after her. Zoey and Mike stared at him, wide eyed.
"O-K then…" Mike said. Just then, Mrs. Hernias spoke up.
"Ok class, today we're going to be doing an Obstacle Course! This was personally requested by Chris McLean, head principal himself, so I don't want any complaining got it?" Mrs. Hernias told the class. There were a few moans and grumbles from the class, "HEY! What did I just say?!"
*At the gym*
Before the class was an obstacle course, complete with a balance beam over a small pool of water (one of those kiddy pools), a series of hurtles, a spring board over some mats, and finally weaving through some obstacles (those blow up obstacles).
"I will be separating you into two teams. You will both race through this course, one at a time, till the end of the period. Whichever team finishes first, or has more people finish, will receive extra credit on their next test," everyone cheered when she announced this. "I will read the teams aloud now. Team 1, will be: Eva, Trent, Heather, Mike, Zoey, Harold, and Anna Maria. Team 2 will be: Lightning, Scott, Courtney, Sammy, Amy, Alejandro, and LeShawna."
"Grrreaaaatt. I'm another crash course from Chris? Seriously will he ever leave us alone?" Scott began to complain.
"Hush up! Enough of the talk! Get into your teams and get ready at the beginning of the course. You will each go in whatever order you want." Everyone ran over to their team and got ready to run. "Alright! On your marks, get set…" The first person for each team lined up at the starting line, which happened to be Lightning and Eva.
"Sha-yeah! First one up! Get ready to loose Eva!" Eva glared at him.
"Bring it on knucklehead." Eva said. Lightning, a bit taken aback by her strong attitude, stared at her wide eyed.
"GO!" Mrs. Hernais said. Both Lightning and Eva dashed off the starting line and ran to the first part of the obstacle course. Lightning climbed atop the balance beam first, and started making his way across the beam.
"Sha-uh oh!" Lightning shouted as he started leaning towards one side too much. His team watched as he fell into the water with a splash. Eva on the other hand, quickly made her way across, and started on the hurtles. Lightning eventually got out of the water and rushed over to the hurtles, where Eva was already halfway through.
"Come on Lightning is that all you got?" Eva said and laughed.
"Sha-Nobody says that to Lightning!" Lightning shot back as he picked up his speed. Lightning had caught up to Eva, and they both began running to the spring boards. Lightning, being on the football team, was faster and reached the board first. He jumped up, landed on the board, and was launched into the air. "YEAH!" he shouted happily. Eva chased after him, and jumped onto her teams board.
"AAARRRGHH!" She shouted angrily as she chased after him. Still with a stupid grin on his face, Lightning turned to see where the angry shout had come from. As soon as he laid his eyes on Eva's enraged state, his grin turned into a mortified look.
"AAAHH!" He shouted in fear and began running faster.
"Oh, this is pretty funny. I'm sure Chris would've loved this!" Mrs. Hernias said smiling to herself.
Once Eva launched herself over the wall of mats, the two began making their way through the last stage of the course. They began running through the blow up obstacles. In a short matter of time, Lightning came out of the obstacles first, and emerged victorious.
"Sha-YES! Lightning scores!" Lightning cheered. Eva, angry that she lost, punched him in the arm. "OW!"
"I'll go next…" Mike said and readied to face his next opponent. Zoey watched him go and cheered him on from the sidelines,
"You can do it Mike!" Scott lined up next to Mike and smiled,
"Ready Mike? Remember what I told you!" Scott told Mike, whispering the last part. Mike remembered how Scott had threatened him this morning, and he sighed.
"GO!" Mrs. Hernias shouted. Both Scott and Mike ran up to the balance beam and began crossing. Mike made his way across the balance beam, and was about to get off when Scott called after him, "Oh Miiikeeeeee! I'm almost across would you fall in the water and make it look like an accident?" Mike frowned.
"Oh come on! It's just gym!" Mike whined.
"Don't care! Fall!" Scott said, now practically at the end of the balance beam. Mike sighed, and pretended to make a dive. He leaned forwards, and lost his balance. He soon landed in the pool of water with a splash.
"Hey! He took a dive! I SAW IT!" Eva shouted at Mrs. Hernias. Mrs. Hernias sighed and looked back at Eva.
"Listen, he did not take a dive! He fell! Now be quiet!" Eva growled and stormed off.
"You can do it Mike! Keep going!" Zoey cheered from the sidelines. Meanwhile, Heather was staring at her as though she was disgusted. "What?" Zoey asked, completely befuddled. Heather sighed heavily,
"Why do you cheer for him?" She asked. Zoey pondered this and replied,
"Because he's my friend." Heather only laughed at this however, and held her stomach.
"Multiple Mike has friends? HAHAHAHAHAHA!" She laughed and walked off. Zoey, who was even more confused than before, looked back at Mike, who was now trying his best to jump over the hurtles. 'Multiple Mike? Who's Multiple Mike? Where they talking about my Mike? Why do they call him that?' So many thoughts rushed through Zoey's mind that she had to sit down. Trent noticed this and walked over to her.
"Hey are you ok?" He asked her in a caring tone. Zoey smiled and got back up.
"Yes I'm fine, thank you." She said and looked once again back at Mike.
*In the race*
Mike had once again gained the lead, and was a few hurtles ahead of Scott. Unfortunately for Scott, he wasn't very athletic, and was beginning to get tired. "Mike! Let me catch up! Fall down!" Mike growled and did as he was ordered. Thankfully, nobody could hear them from across the gym. Mike hopped over a hurtle, but fell on his face when he landed. The impact gave him a small bruise on his cheek. Zoey watched as her friend fell onto his face.
"Mike! Are you ok?" She called to him, hoping her voice would reach him. Mike heard her, and nodded in her direction before dashing after Scott. Scott had made his way to the spring board, and was using what little energy he had left to run to the board. Mike ran to his board as well. Scott reached his first, and vaulted over the mats, and began his way through the blow up obstacles. Mike jumped over his set of mats, and followed him. Mike caught up to him shortly, and they were both running neck and neck near the finish line, while avoiding obstacles. Scott scrounged up his face, seeing that Mike was obviously going to win, and grabbed onto his shirt.
"What? H-Hey! Cut it out! Get off my-" Before he could complete his sentence, Scott succeeded in tearing off Mike's turquoise shirt. Mike gasped, before spitting into his hands and slicking back his hair. "Ay yo! Where da heck am I?" Vito said, looking at his surroundings. Scott smiled, seeing that his plan had worked, and crossed the finish line just as the bell went off.
"That'll be enough for today class. Go to the locker rooms and get your things. And Mike, get a shirt on!" Mrs. Hernias said.
"Name's Vito, not Mike." Vito said proudly. Zoey heard this, and looked confused. 'Is this one of Mike's acting gigs?' She asked herself. She continued to stare at Mike/Vito as Anna Maria passed by him. He whistled at her, and smiled.
"Ay yo beautiful! Why haven't I seen you around here before?" He asked her, while putting his arm around her. Zoey instantly felt hurt. 'What is he doing?!' Zoey watched as he walked her down the stairs, completely ignoring her. Zoey walked down the stairs sadly, following the shadow of Mike/Vito and Anna Maria as they flirted.
*In the boy's locker room*
Mike/Vito promptly strolled into the locker room and opened his gym locker. He grabbed his bag, and began to walk out before Mrs. Hernias gave him a glowering look, and pointed back towards the lockers. He knew what she wanted. "Yeah, yeah, I'll get da stupid shirt on, jeez." Mike/Vito said and walked back in the locker room. He went back over to his locker again, and grabbed an extra shirt he had in his locker, (in case of situations like these happened like last year). He slipped the shirt on and gasped.
"Huh? Wait…this isn't the shirt I was wearing before…NO! That means-"
"Yeah. I introduced Vito to Zoey. And It looks like he's even taken a liking to Anna Maria. Isn't that nice?" Scott interrupted. Mike swung around and glared at him.
"You have got to be-" Scott shushed him.
"Uh, uh, uh! I don't want to hear it, unless you want Zoey to find out about your MPD?" Mike closed his mouth and looked at his feet, admitting defeat. "That's what I thought." Scott snickered and grabbed his backpack before leaving the room. Mike angrily kicked a nearby locker, grabbed his backpack, and followed Scott out the door.
*Outside the boy's locker room*
Mike walked out angrily, keeping his eyes fixed on Scott as they were still filled with hatred. Suddenly, he felt poking on his shoulder. He turned around to see Zoey.
"Oh hey Zoey! Sorry I was just…just…what's wrong?" Mike asked her, confused about her angry look. She tapped her foot, waiting for him to guess. "What?" He asked again.
"Why did you just ditch me for that girl Anna Maria, and act like I wasn't even there? I though you said that you had trouble making friends, just like I did! But you seemed to be talking to that Anna Maria girl really well." Zoey confronted. Mike gulped. She was talking about Vito! That jerk! Now look what he's done!
"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry Zoey! Really I am! Sometimes when I get into character, I don't even know what I'm doing! I swear it!" Mike attempted to explain. Zoey still held her gaze. "I know I messed up, and I'm sorry! I really didn't mean it I swear! I just didn't know what I was doing until afterwards!" Mike continued. Zoey's eyebrows raised and she looked hopeful.
"So you mean…you really didn't mean what you did with Anna Maria?" Zoey asked again. Mike nodded furiously and smiled.
"Yeah, I swear it!" Zoey smiled at his response.
"Oh, well then I'm sorry, I just thought you were ditching me on purpose because you don't like me…it's happened more than you would think…" Zoey said, referring to her previous experiences in school. Whenever she tried to make friends, she would always screw up somehow, and they would all laugh at her. Sometimes they would pretend to be her friends and then ditch her because they thought it was funny. Zoey shook the horrible memories from her head. "Well, we should be going; we have class in 4 minutes." Mike looked at his watch and saw that she was right.
"Yeah, I have to get to English. See you later!" Mike called and ran off down the hallway. Honestly, he couldn't dodge anymore bullets anymore. That was probably his last change with his new friend. He had to contain his personalities, and make sure she didn't see them if they did somehow come out.
*At English*
Mike ran in just as the bell rang, and sat down behind Trent, and next to Cameron. Trent had been talking to Cameron when he walked in, but now that Mrs. Nelson had begun the lesson, they had gotten to work. Mike pulled out his notebook and began taking notes when he felt something hit his forehead. He looked down at his desk and noticed a small crumpled up piece of paper. He looked over to Cameron, and noticed that Cameron was smiling. Mike unraveled the paper, and read the note, "Hey Mike, Trent told me about what happened in gym! According to what he told me, and what the others tell me, you have MPD! If you really want some help, I would like to talk about it at Lunch, and maybe I can help you!' And at the bottom it was signed in neat black ink, saying, 'Cameron'. Overjoyed by the sudden news, Mike leaned over to whisper when Mrs. Nelson yelled at them,
"No talking in class right now, so keep it down!" Mrs. Nelson said, looking at both Cameron and Mike. They both immediately went back to work. 'Finally! Someone who might know how to help me control my personalities!' Mike thought excitedly, and for the rest of the period, he couldn't wait for lunch.
Well there's another chapter to the Total Drama High school. I know I said I wouldn't really update on this, but c'mon, I'm a hypocrite. So what the heck, I might as well right? Plus, I need some time away from my other story to come up with challenge ideas. I've got some so far, but no strong ones, just mere ideas. Anyway, Enjoy!
