High School Never Ends

A/N Sorry for not updating in a long while on any of my Shrek fics. I've just been busy with other fics like my Stitch one but I'm still a Shrek freak, that can be certain. I hope you like this.....

It was morning and Snowgre was already up.

For him, it was an important day.

His first day of high school.

He'd thought about this day a lot as he had spent the summer in the Kingdom of Snow just hanging out by himself.

He couldn't believe the day was actually here.

"Maybe...... I'll make some friends.

Maybe start a band." he thought as he got dressed.

He was dressed in a t- shirt with a Chinese dragon with it's body twisting around a guitar with crop jeans, sandals and goggles on his head with a back pack.

He came out of the room smelling breakfast.

Fiona was busy in the kitchen cooking breakfast as the triplets came into the room rubbing the sleep from their eyes.

"Hey guys you sleep well?" she asked them.

"Yeah we're okay Mommy." Spam answered her as they sat at the table.

They saw Snowgre come into the room.

"Cool clothes Snowgre.

Why're you wearing goggles on your head?

It looks funny!" Meatballs told him.

"O-Okay...... I guess." Snowgre told them sitting at the table too.

Fiona knew how nervous Snowgre was about starting high school especially in an new place where he didn't know anybody and had to make friends but she hoped he'd be okay. Snowgre ate pancakes quietly as the triplets were eating toast while waiting for eggs. After breakfast Snowgre left the swamp house to go to the carriage stop to get the carriage that would take him to Far, Far Away High. Far, Far Away High was in Far, Far Away not too far from the castle but Snowgre was nervous as he stood there alongside other kids who were waiting too.

He wanted to talk to them but felt nervous and out of place around them especially as they were staring at him.

Luckily the carriage arrived and they got on but Snowgre sat in the back of the carriage bus because he didn't know anybody yet and nobody had spoken to him or willing to try.

"Maybe they'll talk to me in school." he thought putting ear buds for a MP3 player in his furry trumpet shaped ears as he listened to music on it....

Artie sighed as he walked to school.

Since the high school wasn't so far away from the castle, he just walked there. He was curious about how the other kids would treat him because of who he was but doubted it remembering how bad Worchester was.

"Yeah but maybe things will be different.

Lillian always says I should give things a chance." the young King thought as he arrived at the high school.

He hoped the kids would be different.......

Snowgre was in awe as the carriage stopped at Far, Far Away High. He along with the other students were excited and nervous about starting here. The school was huge and beauitful. Many students were walking around either with notebooks, talking or drinking coffee. Snowgre smiled seeing this.

"I guess I had nothing to worry about!" he thought but heard cruel laughter and snickers as somebody approached.

It was a boy around his age with blond hair, slender and wearing a leotard which was red.

"Charming?" Snowgre asked confused.

The boy snickered at that.

"I'm his son Arduro." he told him as he drank a fancy frappucino.

"What're you even doing here?" Snowgre asked him.

"Like I actually go here!

I go to a private school.

I just came here to see my father.

He works in the coffee house in the lunch room." Arduro answered pushing him.

"Hey stop it!" Snowgre told him.

"Make me ogre freak!" Arduro told him.

Snowgre then punched him but as Arduro got up, somebody was at Snowgre's side.

It was Artie.

"Arduro get out of here.

Leave him alone.

You're just mad because your Dad's a failure." the young King told the blonde haired boy as he fought him but seeing Merlin.

"What's going on here?" the headmaster told them.

"It was Arduro sir.

He was threatening the new kid." Artie told him.

Merlin then went into his office with Aduro.

Artie smiled at that but saw Snowgre had gone before he'd gotten a chance to talk to him.

"Maybe later then." Artie thought going to Homeroom.......

Snowgre sighed sitting at the back of Homeroom where nobody would notice him as he listened to the teacher.

But he along with the other kids saw the door open as Artie walked in.

"Hey I'm Artie.

I'm supposed to be in this class." the young King told the teacher.

"Okay then Mr Pendragon take your seat." the teacher told him as he made his way to the back of the class.

Snowgre was surprised that the kid was sitting beside him.

Nobody had ever wanted to be beside him ever.

Artie saw surprise in the ogre kid's emerald eyes.

"Maybe things here aren't so bad, I guess." Snowgre thought as the bell rang for class.....

Later Snowgre walked into the lunch room putting stuff on his tray along with Diet Pepsi when Artie was beside him. Snowgre wondered what he wanted and was curious but before they could ask, they heard somebody yelling. They saw some jocks around a wooden kid wearing a t- shirt with the Hairspray logo on it and a Wicked baseball cap on his wooden head with some of his black hair poking out.

"Cut it out!" the kid yelled as the jocks took his cap.

"What're you going to do freak?

You're not even a real kid.

Just the wooden one of a wooden father." they told him.

Artie growled in anger hearing that but saw Snowgre put his tray at their table and go over to where the jocks were picking on that kid.

"What's your problem?

He's not doing anything to bother you so just leave him alone." Snowgre told him as the wooden kid was afraid.

"Umm...... you shouldn't mess with them!

They're on the jousting team!" the wooden kid said scared.

"So what?

It's just another term for pretty boy bullies who think they rule this school but have little brains." Snowgre told him.

Artie laughed at that along with the wooden kid.

"You'll regret it freshman!

We'll make you regret the day you ever came here!" the jocks said leaving the lunch room after throwing the cap onto the floor.

The wooden kid was speechless as Snowgre picked up his cap and handed it back to him.

"Here you dropped this, I think.

What's wrong?

I'm not going to hurt you." Snowgre told him.

"I know but you're the only one to stand up to those jousting jerks." he replied.

"I am?" Snowgre asked.

The kid nodded as he joined him and Artie at their table with his tray of untouched food.......

"You were awesome standing up to Marcus and his jousting jerks.

Nobody's ever done that before." the wooden kid told them.

"Hey no problem man.

My......Mom said...... you shouldn't let others push you around.

I'm Snowgre." the ogre teen said.

"I-I'm Witt.

I''m a senior but nobody cares unless you're like Marco." he replied as Artie understood.

It reminded him of Lance when he used to do the same thing to him at Worchester.

"Aren't you Pinocchio's son?" Artie asked.

"Yes.

He asked Geppeto to make him a son.

I sometimes wish he hadn't." Witt answered.

"Why not Witt?" Artie asked baffled.

"Because he wants me to be like him.

I have my own dreams but he doesn't understand." Witt told him.

"What do you want to do with your life...... after high school?" Snowgre asked curiously.

"I wanna be a performer...... like on Broadway.

I also write songs." the teen answered.

"Cool!" Snowgre answered as they went to class....

Artie and Snowgre were relieved as the final bell rang as they left the school and decided to go into town. They went to Farbuck's to get something to eat. But as Snowgre went to order, Artie saw somebody sitting at a table alone. It was a wolf kid with brown soulful eyes, slender, had brown fur like his father the Big Bad Wolf and wore a black t- shirt with a guitar on it, jeans and a collar with spikes around his neck.

But he saw sadness in the wolf teen's eyes as he was drinking a glass of Ham Bull a popular energy drink.

Artie decided to go over and talk to the kid.

"Umm.... hey there.

I'm Artie.

Why're you here alone?" the young king said to him as the wolf kid was surprised.

"Somebody besides my Dad is talking to me.

I wonder...." he thought.

"I-I'm Lukas.

I just moved here a few months ago to be with my Dad." the wolf teen said looking sad at that.

"Why're you sitting here Lukas?

Don't you have friends?" Artie told him sitting down.

"I..... don't have any friends Artie.

Nobody will dare to come near me because I'm a wolf kid and because of my father.

I'm okay.

Being a lone wolf suits me most days but you're the first kid to talk to me since I came to this kingdom.

Why is that?" Lukas asked him.

"Because I know how it feels to be lonely like that.

I used to be like that at Worchester and all the kids made fun of me and made me feel like a loser but now things have changed and I have a few friends who like me.

I'd better go help Snowgre.

You wanna sit with us?" Artie answered as Lukas nodded.......
