[ Chapter 14 / 1? New story?]
"Um…well hi there…Jackson." Kim said, not completely sure what to do.
"Hi," he said in a cute sort of dorky way.
Mia's face turned red as butterflies invaded her stomach – what was she doing thinking that another boy was cute? And a Normie at that!
"U-u-um…h-hi," she said to the Normie, not meeting his eyes. "I-I'm Mia and t-that's K-Kim."
Jackson stared blankly at the short Faun. Were her horns real? Did she really have goat legs?
"It's nice to meet you." he pushed his glasses further up the bridge of his nose.
"I…uh, I've gotta go..to, um…class." Kim blinked, still gazing at the Normie standing in front of her. For some reason, she had a bad feeling in her stomach; she was getting bad vibes from being around the Normie.
She didn't stop to wonder why as she turned off and began to walk away. Somehow in panic, she began to run, as if she was afraid. When she got inside of the school, she breathed a sigh of relief, it having been the only place she felt safe other than at home.
For her, and probably many other Monsters, Monster High was their safe zone, a place meant for them to protect them.
Mia blinked up at the Normie. "S-so…what year are you in?"
"I transferred here for my sophomore year." The boy answered, his eyes still staring at Mia's horns. They didn't seem out of place on her head, as if they fit her perfectly.
"Oh," Mia said nervously, her heart beating. "W-welcome to Monster High then."
"Thanks." Jackson smiled shyly.
Mia eyes widened. This was her first encounter with an actual human and she made him smile somehow. She was stunned at the boy's fairly handsome face and cute smile.
What was this feeling making her heat beat so fast? Excitement? Enjoyment? Fear?
Mia looked away, thinking. It didn't feel like fear, not quite enjoyment. But then again she did have some enjoyment. Later on she'd be able to tell Cara that she'd meant an actual real life human, that part was relatively exciting at least.
Mia couldn't place the feeling, but she knew her heart was madly beating.
"Well, I, um…have to go. I still need to get my class schedule; I was too scared to get it during Monster Orientation yesterday." Jackson said, grinning sheepishly and forcing an awkward laugh.
Mia looked back to him and away again, my face still a lovely red. "O-okay. I'll see you around then."
Jackson blinked, his lips parting. Somehow he had made a friend.
Not sure what she should do, Mia ran off in a panic and fled the scene, entering the large purple castle-like building known as Monster High.
"You might want to watch where you're going, Normie." The boy said with his slithering snake's tongue and low toned accent.
Jackson sighed, not making any effort to get up from the ground. He leaned his head back on the lockers he'd been pushed into, shutting his eyes. He'd been bullied all morning ever since he step foot in Monster High. He feared he'd have to transfer schools again before the term even started…
"You alright there, mate?" he heard a melodic voice above him, scented with an Australian accented tone.
Jackson looked up, blinking at the blue skinned water creature. Her glittery wavy blonde hair with light blue highlights shimmered in the sunlight, as did her gleaming, kind green eyes. She offered him a hot pink lipstick smile that was friendly. "Yeah, I'm okay…" he looked away.
"Don't let those dingoes get to you. They're probably just being anti-phibian 'cause your new here. Not to mention a Normie."
"Yeah, I guess." Jackson said, taking Lagoona Blue's hand.
She steadied him to his feet, her eyes were caring. "Don't worry about it, Sheila."
"Sheila?" he asked, confused.
"Well, you never did tell me your name." Lagoona giggle softly, amused by the Normie's confusion.
"Its Jackson…" his smile was crooked and cute.
"Well it's a pleasure to meet you, Jackson. I'm Lagoona, an exchange student from down under, down under the sea that is." She said, her Australian accent thick as she laughed at her own joke.
Jackson laughed too, although he didn't get the joke.
~Sorry just typed this chapter randomly! Wasn't sure what to write and just started typing and so this is how it turned out, lol. Not sure if it's a new story or not, but I like it. Hmmm, maybe I will make a new story. . . . . . . . .
