Carter: Oh! What might this be?
Amy47101: NOTHING!
Eleanor: Oh it's something! (Snatches papers from hands). Hmm... OH! IT'S THE NOTES AND STARTING PARAGRAPH OF CHAPTER 7!
Carter: Really?! Whats it about?
Eleanor: Hal-
Amy47101: Give me that! (Takes papers and puts it through a shredder.)

I awoke the next morning, feeling refreshed for some reason. Lets see... I flew for the first time in months, completed the courage test, saw and heard Carter scream like a little girl...
Carter!
The guilt hit my like a ton of bricks. Carter had gotten in HUGE trouble for last night, and he helped me escape Kincaid...
If Kincaid gave him a detention for running through the halls, then heaven knows what he'll do for staying up past curfew, making a whole lotta noise in the middle of the night, drawing the funny drawing of Kincaid on the board (Yeah, thats what he was doing with the chalk), and running through the halls.
Man, I probably won't see him till Christmas.
...
Would that be good or bad?
From what I learned about him in the first day, he was super arrogant, and always wanted to be on top. He liked to prank people, and could be somewhat disruptive at times. But he had another side to him. He works his butt off in school, and will help anyone when they need it. I saw both sides of him in the last twenty-four hours. What is Carter really like, I wonder?
I sighed, and looked at my clock. 6:00. I groaned. School didn't start till eight. I rolled over and tried to go back to sleep, but failed miserably. Sighing, I went into the bathroom and showered.
After my hair was dry, I pulled on my ranger school uniform and, like a Slakoth, walked down the stairs to the dining area. I could smell food wafting through the doors, and immediately went inside. I went over to the bars of food, were a lunch lady smiled at me.
"Looks like we have another early riser." she said.
"Me? Oh, no, I usually sleep in." I thought for a moment. "Who would even get up this early?"
"That troublemaker, Carter. Is always up at the crack of dawn, and sitting outside the doors waiting for us to unlock them for him."
Carter's an early riser? Wow. Never would've suspected that.
"Hey, new kid."
I turned around and almost groaned. Low and behold, there was Carter. I thought about saying something witty or sarcastic, but then I thought otherwise, my guilt immediately kicking in.
"Hey Carter." I said as I put some toast on my plate.
"Thank god, we don't have another one of those anorexics."
"Eh?" I asked, somewhat alarmed by that.
"Yeah, pretty much all the girls here eat absolutely nothing. Like, they stand in line, get food, eat one apple slice, and then throw everything away. It's really a pain in the butt and a waste of time."
I'm gonna bet that he's over exaggerating. There was no way I could live off so little food.
"Is it that bad?"
"Yeah. The girls here are crazy. Pretty much all the girls who go here want to be operators. To tell the truth, the only people here who got accepted as rangers are you, me, Dash, Aqua, Flare, Surge, Dawn, Dusk, Forrest, and Wynter. All the boys are trying to be mechanics. Some come here just so that they can have the education."
I didn't even realize that we were sitting at a table until my butt plopped down in the chair across from Carter.
"What'd Kincaid do?" I asked.
"Oh...um... I think I got a month of detentions, but Ms April is trying to get it down to two or three weeks."
"That sucks."
There was a silence for a moment.
"Hey, I'm sorry." he said.
"What for?"
"For taking your doll."
"It's fine. You showed me how terrible the speeches of Kincaid are." I said. I thought through yesterdays events, and realized that I had zero idea how he managed to get a hold of my doll. "How'd you even get the doll? It was in my bag."
"I went in your bag. It was sitting on top with a few others, and I grabbed it."
"But how'd you know...?"
"Know what? It was the first thing I saw, first thing I grabbed." he smirked. "I also saw your bra. Man, are you flat chested."
I felt the blood rush to my face.
"Perv!" I yelled before I stomped out of the room, leaving my tray with him.
"Flat chested. Hmph." I murmured angrily as I stomped aimlessly around the hallway. "Jerk."
Somehow, I ended up in the library, were, strangely enough, was Surge.
"Hey." I said as I walked up to him. He set down his book, and looked up at me.
"Hi."
"Why are you here? You don't really seem like a library sort of guy."
"Wynter started talking to me about some book she read. She said that she'd meet me down here, so, here I am. Waiting for Wynter."
I looked at his wrist, and saw that he had his styler.
"Got your styler back." I said, nodding towards the device.
"Yeah. Wynter returned it along with the others."
"Do you think you could show me how to work it? I don't really know much past capturing and target clears."
"Sure! Now you see, what you do is..."
o.0.o.0.o
Surge spent the rest of the morning showing me how to work the styler.
I got used to using it as a GPS sing the map feature and pulling up different screens, such as the browser and the save button.
"Thanks!" I said as he left the library. I wandered around the bookshelves of the library, wondering what I should do until the bell rings.
Giving up, I headed towards the classroom.
When I got there and looked around, I realized that, along with Flare, Carter and Dash, Dawn was also in this class. Flare waved me over.
"Hey. I see operation 'courage test' was successful." said Flare with a nod.
"Yeah, getting Carter a month worth of detentions is really what I would call 'successful'." I said sarcastically with an eye roll.
"But you got the stylers back. That was the point of the challenge." Dawn pointed out.
"Yeah, but..." I trailed off as three girls walked over to us.
"Oh, joy." I heard Flare murmur.
"Hi!" said one girl who had long blond hair and baby blue eyes.
"We heard that you were, like, the newest addition to the school." said another girl with hair a glorious shade of red.
"Yeah, and we're here to, you know, show you around. Show you the ropes." said the last girl, almost an exact copy of the other blond, only with green eyes.
"So, Sparky, are you gonna, like, introduce us?" asked the red head. I wondered for a brief moment who Sparky was.
"Geez, ya would think that they would at least be able to say their names." murmered Flare with an I'm-gonna-kill-you glare. "Eleanor, meet Alexa." blue eye blond. "Rachel" green eye blond. "And Victoria." the red head.
"So your name is Eleanor? That's a pretty name."said Victoria. "But it needs to be shorter."
"Shorter? Why?" I asked.
"Because it's to long. You see, we all have nicknames. Alexa is Al, Rachel is Ray, and I'm Tori."
"Oh! How 'bout El?" squealed Rachel, or 'Ray'.
"Hmm... I suppose it would do." said Tori.
"HEY! Did you ever perhaps consider Eleanors' opinion?" Flare practically screamed.
"Why? She is going to be our friend, after all." said Tori. "Right El?"
I sighed.
"Listen. It's Eleanor, not El." I said.
"But you have to have a nickname! Eleanor is to long!" Alexa squealed.
"And besides, if you're going to be an operator, you can't be hanging around with these ranger wannabes." said Tori in a tone like she ruled the world or something.
"Where did you hear that I came here to be an operator?"
"Well, we didn't hear it from anywhere, we just assumed." said Ray. "And besides, you wouldn't want to be a ranger. It's awfully dangerous and you could get hurt."
"Or even worse. You could brake a nail!" cried Alexa.
"Besides, being a ranger isn't all that." said Tori. "Like remember that one guy. The guy who went missing in an underwater mission?"
"Yeah. What's it to you?" asked Flare with a scowl.
"I don't think he ever actually went missing. I think it was all just a ruse for publicity. I mean, seriously, don't all rangers over exaggerate these stories? That guy is probably sitting at home, watching the news about his 'death'."
I lost it at that. I didn't know this Tori chick all that well, but she insulted my father. She insulted all rangers.
I smacked her. Hard.
She fell back yelling and hollering.
There was a gasp around the classroom, and all fell silent. And of course, Kincaid had to walk in. He took one look at Tori, and gave us all a death glare.
"Who did this?" he said in a cold voice.
"SHE DID!" screamed Tori as she cradled he now bruised cheek. "THE NEW GIRL!"
"Victoria, go to Janice. She'll give you some ice." said Kincaid. Tori nodded, sniffled, and got up and left the room.
"As for you, Ms. Moon." said Kincaid as he turned towards me. "You will be joining Mr. Sun in detention for the next week."
He handed me the pink slip, and I read it.
Name: Eleanor Moon.
Reason for detention: Assaulting Victoria Deleany.
Length of Detention: One hour after school, two hours on weekends for a week.
"Assault?" I asked as I raised an eyebrow. "Seriously?"
"Would you like that one week to become two?"
"No, Mr. Kincaid." I mumbled. When Kinciad was gone, the silence once again settled over the classroom.
Slowly though, Flare raised her hands and began to clap. Soon, Dawn and Dash joined in. And then Carter and then the whole class. The clapping went from slow to fast, and soon cheers were added. Whoops and yells echoed across the walls. People that I didn't even know gave me congratulatory pats on the back.
Flare grabbed ahold of my hand, and like I accomplished some great feat, raised it into the air.
"Behold! Eleanor Moon, the first girl to stand up to Queen Victoria! Hail our newest rebel leader!" shouted Flare like she was some sort of squire.
I stared at the class. My eyes fell on Carter, and he gave me a thumbs up. I saw Rachel and Alexa, and they gave me the glare of death. Then they mouthed four words:
You are so dead.

Amy47101: Haha, stupid girls. I hate snooty people like that. Anyways, this is actually based off of a small instant in my life. It was in fourth grade or something. And they were insulting my dad. Jerks.
Eleanor: But you got me a week of detentions! WITH CARTER!
Amy47101: Yeah, and I bet you'll like that.
Eleanor: I will not like it.
Amy47101: Liar.
Carter: Halloween is coming up! CANDY!
Amy47101: You better share!
Carter: NEVER!
Eleanor: Read, review, and stay tuned!
