A/N: Yay! Chapter two! So, Renny won't be called Renny until she's given her nickname. 'Till then, she's called by her first name, Hope. I don't own Monsters University. ON WITH THE STORY!
Hope's P.O.V.
As the bus Hexington and I rode to Monsters University pulled to a stop, the bus driver called out, "Monsters University! Anybody getting off?"
We both stood, grabbed our luggage, and got off the bus quickly. Then bus went on its way and my sister said, "There it is. Monsters University."
"My first year!" I muttered excitedly to myself.
"Remember Hope, all the Professors are tough, but nice, and the Dean? Eh," My sister shrugged when she tried to think of something for Dean Hardscrabble. Then she snapped her fingers and guessed, "She cares for your education?"
I gave a small sigh and we walked in the gates of MU. "Hey again Hank!" Hex yelled, waving at a monster that was sitting in the grass.
"He was in my chemistry class last year. He's so cute!" Hex squealed. I smiled at my sister. Hex really liked this Hank guy, but I was happy for her. Love's so sweet.
"You wanna go talk to him?" I questioned.
"Can I? I mean, I don't want to leave you all alone on your first day. What if you get lost? Kidnapped? Killed!? You could be rotting in a pit, and I'd be talking to-,"
I put my upper right hand on her mouth and told her quietly, "Hex, it's alright. Just go."
Hex took my hand off her mouth and smiled, saying, "Really little sister?" She used her nickname for me. "Thanks!" Then Hex ran towards Hank with her bags, and started to talk to him. I let out a giggle and kept walking, hoping I could find my way around the campus.
A few minutes later, I passed a bridge and saw people swimming under water. The aquatic classes were probably down there. Then about another minute later, as I looked around the campus and not straight ahead, and bumped into someone standing in the middle of the path. We were both knocked to the ground.
"Ah!" I exclaimed, both of us getting knocked to the ground.
"Ow," Both of us groaned. Then I realized I was on top of him.
"Oh!" I jumped to my feet, "I'm sorry. I didn't see you there." I helped him to his feet. "Are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine," The green monster told me, "Ah! A human!"
"No, no!" I quickly said as everyone started looking at me, "I'm a monster! Not a human!" I bared my sharp teeth and showed my extra arms. "A monster like everyone else here." Their attention was off of me again. I gave a sigh. I hated being the center of attention, and that happened a lot, being what I looked like.
"Oh. Then I'm sorry. My name's Mike Wazowski," The monster told me, "Scaring Major."
I smiled and said, "Hope Lawrence. I'm a Scaring Major too."
"Nice to meet you then, Hope," Mike told me, shaking my lower left hand, "Now, to get back to my schedule." He picked up the discarded clipboard and pen, and then said to himself, "Okay, first thing on my list, 'Get Registered'."
'I should do that too,' I thought to myself.
"Hey there freshmen!" A peppy monster with red skin said to Mike and me, "I'm Jay the R.A. and I'm here to say that registration is that away!" He pointed off in the distance with his pen.
"Thank you Jay," I muttered. I grabbed my bags and started to walk in the direction he pointed.
"Okay Jay!" Mike said, grabbing his bags and heading off.
"Have a great first day!" Jay told us.
"Hey! I'm Kay!" An equally peppy monster greeted the two of us. We were both in separate lines, but her eyes could move in different directions, greeting us both. Yikes, creepy. "Here's both your orientation packets," She handed both of us our orientation packets.
"Thanks Kay," Mike greeted.
"Thanks," I muttered. I took the packet from her and slipped it in my purple and red backpack.
"Drop your bags off here and get your picture taken with Trey," Kay told us.
A few minutes later, Mike was sitting in front of the camera. "Say hooray!" Trey told him.
"Hooray!" Mike enthusiastically said. The camera snapped, and Mike got up and walked away.
Then it was my turn. "Say hooray!" Trey told me.
"Hooray," I gave a small smile, and I knew I was blushing. I hated being in front of the camera just as much as being the center of attention. Then the camera snapped, and a few minutes later, Mike and I were both holding our identification cards.
"I don't believe it," Mike said, staring at his ID card, "I'm officially a college student!"
"Okay everyone, I'm Fey!" A blue monster with blue hair holding a flag said as numerous students followed behind her, "I'll be giving you your orientation tour on this perfect day!" What's with all the rhyming today? Oh great, now they got me doing it!
We walked through the halls of the school and Fey said, "Here are the labs where students learn to design and build the doors to the human world."
"Whoa," I muttered, smiling shyly, "That's so cool."
"Isn't it!?" Fey shouted excitedly, getting in my face.
"Eek!" I hid behind Mike, who was staring inside the room we were passing by through the glass. He was looking at all the students, who were hard at work.
We continued on and then Fey announced, "Looks like the professor's about to test a door!"
The professor opened the door, and Mike and I both got a glance of a child sleeping inside its bed. The door had worked!
Then into the cafeteria. "The MU cafeteria served a full buffet, three meals a day!" The rest of the group kept going but I stayed back for some grub. I ran after the group to catch up with them when I saw the lunch lady take the garbage, and dump it in the food bins. Gross to the max!
"…A wide variety of majors," Fay was saying when I finally caught up to them, "But the crown jewel of MU is the scaring school."
Everyone else kept walking, but Mike and I stayed back to observe the school for just a little while longer. Then it was to the clubs and sororities.
"Mike," I said to him quietly, "Is it okay if I hang with you for a bit? I-I really don't like to, um, you know…"
"You're saying you're shy?" Mike asked, giving me a smile. I gave him a small nod, and a small, barely noticeable, smile. "Then come on, there's lots to be seen," Mike took my hand and tugged me away from where we stood.
Then a little while later, a monster said as he stuck his eye out at us, "Hey there! Keep your eye on the sky at the astronomy club!"
"Hey, hey, hey, come join the improve club!" A monster told us. Doing a play without a script? No way in heck could I ever do that without throwing up my lunch. "You'll wish you were never always…ah, dang it!"
"MU's greek council," A monster said as I stopped in front of her booth, "We sponsor the annual scare games."
"The-the scare what now?" Mike questioned, running to my said, grabbing the paper from the female monster's hand.
I took a flyer for the scare games off the table and then a purple guy slammed his fist on the table, making me jump. "The scare games!" He told us, "A super intense scaring competition!"
"They're crazy dangerous," The girl told us, "Anything could happen."
"A bunch of guys went to the hospital last year!" The purple monster with horns told the two of us.
"You could totally die," The girl informed us. I gave a small smile.
"But it's worth it!" The guy slammed his fist on the table, "You get a chance to prove that you are the best!" I looked down at the flyer and my smile increased slightly. Cool!
It's like Mike read my mind, "Cool," He said to himself.
"Best part is, girls can be in the same sororities and fraternities as guys this year," The guy told me, smiling. Well, that's news to me. When my dad was in college, there were only guy teams, and girl teams.
A/N: As you can tell, Renny's really shy in college. Smart, but shy. Also, I made the sororities with both genders so Renny can...Well, you'll find out why a few chapters from now. Review now! Bye!
