Hello! I hope you enjoy this! This also a flash back to high school. So a bit of a filler but a back story.
Chibi in a box chapter 20
What to do at high school
"I'm sorry! Please don't hurt me!" begged a kid as Ashton shoved him into a school locker.
"I'm gonna hurt you more if you don't be quiet!" Ashton hissed slamming the locker door shut.
June stood next to Ashton dying of boredom. She rolled her eyes at the usual scene; Ashton beats up kid, kid acts tough, Ashton beats the kid up further, shoves kid in locker, kids pleas for mercy, Ashton denies and slams locker door shut. As simple as that.
"That was the kid who called you fat, right Serenity?" Ashton asked looking at her smiling cousin.
"Yep!" she chirped. "There's a difference, you're not fat, you're just... curvy."
June rolled her eyes again and then shook her head. "This is immature, he clearly liked Serenity and was to insecure to reveal his feelings so resolved to capture her attention with childish expressions. How predictable," June muttered holding her books to her chest.
"English please," Ashton said walking away from the locker. Serenity and June followed her to their lunch period.
"I have two sandwiches, some grapes, jalapeños, and a brownie. Did you guys bring your lunches?" Serenity asked sitting down at a table.
"Not much, Maratha still hasn't gone shopping and wasn't able to give me the correct food groups for a healthy and edible nutritious lunch," June sighed mentioning her foster mother.
"You have to dull things down June, you talk so," Ashton trailed looking for the word.
"Intelligent."
"Robotically," Ashton corrected taking a bit of Serenity's grapes.
"It's not my error if my vocabulary is superior to my peers," June stated matter of factly.
"It sounds like your an idiot when you speak like that," Ashton laughed elbowing Serenity in the side a bit.
"Of course I have to talk like an idiot sometimes, how else would you understand me?" June asked taking a bite of Serenity's brownie.
"Apply cold water to the burnt area," Serenity laughed jabbing Ashton in the side.
"June I'm just trying to give you advice, stop insulting me," Ashton sighed looking at June.
"Ashton, I'm what society beckons a 'nerd', in society 'nerds' are frail and defective from the more superior higher social men, my only defense in such a system is sarcasm," June deadpanned.
"I'm not protecting you in gym today," Ashton stated looking away as she ate from Serenity's lunch.
"Please, I'll stop talking like that if you want, just please protect me," June begged in one breath.
"Good."
"Dork," June muttered crossing her arms as she ripped off a piece of sandwich from Serenity's lunch.
"Guys, Porcelains are coming," Serenity whispered looking up to see a group of girls coming their way.
"Crap," Ashton whispered.
A posse of girls if you would say made their way to the three misfits. All four chatted amount themselves all while giggling.
June banged her head on the table harshly. "Maybe if I hit my head hard enough I'll die before they get here," she muttered banging her head again.
"I'm fine with them coming over. It's fun to rile them up, they're like a group of excited small yippee dogs." Ashton smirked at her own commented and eyes the group.
"Hello, Ashton," one of the Porcelains sneered. "Hello, Gabby," Ashton sneered back standing up.
Gabby, the devil inside of a teenage girl. Evil itself reincarnated.
Bethany, all fashion and vermon. Just as mean as Gabby me always looking in a mirror.
Ava, on her phone 24/7, always texting, tweeting, liking, commenting, and calling. The techy of them.
Maxine, all beauty no brains, nothing more to say.
Ashton looked down at the girl who was a least a half a foot shorter.
"So, when are you going to get a sense of fashion," Gaby asked looking at Ashton's shirt. "When are you going to stop wearing clown makeup," Ashton replied smugly.
"Look," she snapped, "I didn't come over here to play, I need the dumb blond."
Ashton stood in front of June while June hid her face in one of her books.
"What for?" Ashton asked raising a brow. "She has to help me with a project due tomorrow."
"No."
"No? Did you hear that girls?" Gabby laughed looking at her friends. They all giggled whispering to each other.
"Just hand over the blond and I won't give you any trouble."
"I said no Gabby. June is not a thing you can use, now go scurrying away you basic b-"
"June may not be a thing but she certainly is a useful person. Now hand her over! I need this project done." Gabby glared at June who hide her head in a book.
"Excuse me," Serenity interrupted with a smile. "What fatty?" Gabby sneered.
Pp"I just wanted to ask you where you got your clown face paint," Serenity said smiling at her. (A/N Just imagine Sai's fake smile.)
Gabby gasped and glared at her. "I'll inform you that this makeup and came from my Dad," she sneered.
"Looks like somebody has too much access to Daddy's credit card," Ashton muttered. Gabby ignored her comment and glared at Serenity.
"Then I feel like I have to give you a present," Serenity laughed, "I feel so inconsiderate not getting you anything. How about you stop by my house today and I'll give you a cup of bleach for a present. Does that sound good?"
June and Ashton restrained themselves from bursting out from laughter.
"Excuse me?" Gabby gasped. "You're excused," Serenity said with the same smile.
Gabby let out an annoyed grunt and stomped her foot. "We're done here," she snapped looking at her girls.
"See ya Gabby, maybe later you can tell me where you got your face paint!" Serenity called as she stomped away with the rest of the Porcelains.
"High five Serenity," Ashton laughed holding her hand up. Serenity smacked it happily and looked at June.
"I declare the highest of high fives be given to you," she laughed quietly holding up her hand. Serenity smacked it with a grin and sat down.
"Thanks," June thanked looking down. "It displeases me-" "English," Ashton whispered.
"To simplify it: It makes my mad and upset when people treat me like that. It's sad that I need protection from people like, that," June spat.
"It's all good. You got me," Ashton reassured slinging her arm around June with a grin. June smiled slightly and held Ashton's hand as she slung it around her.
"They're all dorks," she muttered. "June, they're not dorks, they're all basic-" "Serenity, I thought you were the only one who didn't swear."
Serenity smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of her head. "We're high schoolers June, of course all of us swear to some extent, just I don't like to."
"And some of use get cut off every time I try to f-"
DING! DING! DING!
The bell rung loudly cutting Ashton off.
"Why?" Ashton yelled slamming her hands on the table. "It was inevitable," June chuckled grabbing her books.
Serenity giggled at June's statement and got up from her seat while gathering her lunchbox.
"Well, I'll see in an hour 11 minutes," June said walking away. "See you in gym," Serenity laughed walking away to leave Ashton alone.
"See ya," Ashton muttered sticking her hand in her pocket while the other secured her binder. She strolled to her next class, striding across the hallways.
This was her last year of high school, she couldn't wait to get out of this agonizing nightmare. Though, she had to admit, she wanted to get out for more than one reason. One of them being June.
June was so much smarter than her. She skipped a grade while Ashton flunked a grade. Embarrassing!
June even said, quote, "If I was more motivated I could have graduated years ago." And, boy did Ashton believe that statement.
As Ashton sat down at her next class she received glares. "Fight me," she muttered to them. Ashton wasn't one of the most favored children.
Also seemingly the bully of the school. They all seemed to direct their gaze to the front of the room where her teacher stood.
"Hello class," Mrs. Frost greeted sitting down. "Today I'll be passing out your math tests, after I do we'll be working on the next assignment."
Ashton looked at the window with a bored face. She hated math class, it was so boring.
Her eyes drooped as she yawned, sooner than she knew it, she was asleep.
Serenity bounded down the hallways with a smile.
"Hey Serenity," a voice greeted. She looked around to see a black headed boy, Tate.
"Hey Tate!" Serenity greeted with a grin. "Is Ashton busy tonight?" he asked with a faint blush.
"I'm not sure, I think she might be at the gym tonight but otherwise she's not doing anything. Why ask me?" Serenity asked.
"Well, your one of her closest friends, therefore you usually know what she's up too," he chuckled.
Serenity giggled looking away. "Ashton's not that much trouble, are you planning to actually ask her out?" Serenity asked twirling her hair unconsciously.
"Yes, I would like to date her, but speaking of dating, when are you going to start dating with Matt?" Tate asked.
"Tate, you know I don't wanna date. I would like to stay single. I'm not into romantics," Serenity laughed looking away.
"Not into romantics, you start to get flustered every time a man says a cheesy line," Tate chuckled.
Serenity avoided eye contact and smiled. "Relationships are adorable and it's tempting at times but I don't think I could ever start dating."
"Why not?" Tate asked interested in her reaction.
"It sounds really selfish of me, but if a did date anybody I wouldn't want to let go if they wanted to leave. I know, really crappy reason but if I'm going to date someone it's going to be someone I love and I wouldn't want to lose someone I love." Serenity blushed after her small rant and looked down and fidgeted with her binder.
"That's a wonderful explanation. I feel the same way about the situation. The only other reason I haven't asked Ashton out I'd because I'm a little scared. Everyone in the school knows I'm a little mentally unstable."
"Mentally unstable? Trust me, that's nothing compared to me!" Serenity laughed. "After all the trauma I've been through it's messed me up to some degree." Serenity laughed again wiping away a tear.
"I just can get a little possessive and abusive at times," Tate blushed scratching the back of his head.
"Ashton can get the same way, but she's easy to calm her down if June is there."
"Speaking of June, how is she? She doesn't talk much to me, or any human for that matter," Tate commented.
"She's as asocial as ever but otherwise she's doing good, though I've been bugging her to go for more collage education."
"That's good," Tate smiled at Serenity and started to walk off, "Well, I have to be getting to my next class now," Tate said walking away. "See you later!" Serenity called rushing to her next class.
Serenity rushed to her next class quickly. She rushed into the room and sat down.
'Spanish class,' Serenity thought, 'they don't even know I can speak it.' Serenity laughed mentally.
"Buenos dias clase. Cómo están todos hoy?" the teacher asked. Everybody sighed and rolled their eyes expect for Serenity.
"Lo estoy haciendo bien!" Serenity replied enthusiastically with a grin.
Little did they know that was her first language. It was amusing to Serenity really, she could take Spanish class and it was like elementary work.
Ashton was decent in the language too. When Serenity was adopted at the age of six she only spoke Spanish. Her family ,of course, learned the language because they would live with her, but Ashton took a interest in her.
Serenity remembered her parents telling her Ashton would stay up all night trying to learn Spanish. Serenity now could speak English perfectly well but she still like to speak in her native language.
After the class it was time for her second favorite class. Gym. June's least favorite class.
The class rushed out of the room. Serenity ran down the halls, hoping not to get caught, to gym class.
A hand grabbed her shoulder. She looked behind her to see Ashton grinning at her.
"Hurry up! We're playing dodge ball today!" Ashton laughed sprinting down the halls dragging Serenity with her.
"Hey slow down!" Mrs. Frost yelled. "Go sit in a hole!" Ashton yelled sticking her tongue out.
Ashton flung open the girl's locker room and immediately flung off her shirt while Serenity did the same. June walked into the room shyly and made her way to Serenity.
The two were already changed with smiles.
"Umm Serenity, Ashton," June whispered, her face flamed red.
"Don't worry," Ashton reassured standing in front of her. June backed up in a corner to change while Serenity and Ashton stood in front of her.
June honestly was to embarrassed to change in front of other people. She even had trouble changing in front of Ashton and Serenity at times.
"To afraid to show your flat chest?" a voice sneered. June's vision focused on Gabby.
"No, she's just afraid to look at your ugly face," Ashton snapped. "You're so frustrating Ashton. I want to be friends, but you just make it so difficult. Can't we just push aside our differences?" Gabby asked with fake desperation in her voice.
"You sack of crap."
"..."
"I've had it! You'll regret this later!" Gabby snapped turning red. Ashton shrugged her off and turned to June.
Ashton smiled at June, "You have all my protection in gym along with Serenity. Gabby and the Porcelains are going down."
"If we're going to mess with the Porcelains we may as well plan for this occasion and I have the perfect plan," June replied.
Ashton, Serenity, and June walked out of the locker room with smug looks.
The gym teacher called teams quickly. Thankfully the girls were on the same team while the Porcelains were on the opposite.
The dodge balls were dumped out. Ashton grabbed one as June scurried off the collet them for Ashton and Serenity.
The teacher blew the whistle and dodge balls flung threw the air.
"June, tell me again why we call them the Porcelains."
"Because they're weak like glass," June replied with a smirk standing behind Serenity.
Ashton cranked her arm back and whipped the ball through the air, slamming into Bethany.
She smacked to the ground backwards cradling her head. "And she's out!" Ashton yelled.
Serenity caught a ball from Ava. "Out!" Serenity yelled.
"Hey fatty!" a voice yelled. Serenity turned around to be pelted in the face. The ball bounced off Serenity's face and into June's arms.
June's fumbled with the ball before holding it securely. "I did it," June whispered. "Serenity, Ashton! I caught-"
A ball hit June in the stomach. She breathed out heavily as she dropped to the ground on her knees.
"Out!" Maxine shouted. June trudged to the side lines. She sulked quietly to herself as she watched. "Dork," she muttered.
"Good job June!" Serenity complimented. June smirked slightly at her comment.
"Don't worry June, I'll get," Ashton whipped the ball pelting Maxine," her back." Ashton wiped sweat off her forehead quickly before focusing her attention to a ball heading her way.
Meanwhile Serenity was asking the teacher to go to the bathroom. "Please! I really need to go!" Serenity begged holding her legs together.
"Fine, fine," the teacher sighed, "just hurry up and go."
Serenity scurried outside of the gym and snuck down the hall of the school to hers and Ashton's.
She recalled the conversation they had before gym started.
"Ashton, do you have itch powder on you?" June asked. Ashton nodded her head mutely. "Before I go any further, why?" "I always carry items for the perfect prank, it's high school June, we do weird things."
"That is the most logical explanation for high school behavior," June commented.
"Besides that, Serenity, during gym deposit the itch cream in their makeup and rub the jalapeños you brought for lunch on their lipstick."
Serenity finished gathering the supplies from the lockers and ran back to the girls locker room. She hurried to each of the Porcelains' purses to act in her instructions.
Meanwhile Ashton chucked another dodge ball and got her sixth person out.
"Ha! Take that Matt! That's for likening my little cousin!" Ashton yelled pelting him in the groin. He dropped to the ground with a whine and inched to the sidelines.
Matt glared at Ashton from the sidelines silently in pain. He hated her, she was always ruining his chance to get with Serenity.
"Get dunked on!" Ashton yelled hitting another person. June was now back in the game, cowering in the back of the gym in fear of being hit with a ball of Ashton's strength.
"Come out here and fight me you dumb blond!" Gabby yelled barley dodging one of Ashton's balls. "I see no relevance in joining a fight that I know will head in defeat!" June yelled in replied.
"Ha! So you do know you will lose against me!" Gabby yelled in victory. "Yes Gabby, I know I would lose to you in a idiocy contest! What else is new!" June yelled from the other side of the gym.
"Ugh!" Gabby yelled in frustration. "You're not very good at comebacks, are you?" June shouted.
Gabby yelled again in frustration glaring at June. "I'm sorry I can't speak idiot fluently!" June yelled.
"You're terrible!" she yelled. "Thanks, I was trying to impersonate you!" June yelled back. "You are such a b-"
SMACK
Gabby was pelted right in the face by Ashton.
"Thanks for the distraction June. She just can't seem to sit still and except her her fate like the rest. She's like a headless chicken," Ashton commented.
"Your welcome," June said standing behind Ashton. "Hey guys I'm back!" Serenity called. The girls looked at Serenity with a smile.
"Did you do it?" Ashton asked.
"Yep, they should be screaming right after gym," Serenity giggled. "Good girl," Ashton praised patting Serenity on the head. Serenity ate up the praise with a grin.
The whistle blew loudly signaling everyone gym was over. "Well that was fun," Ashton said with a grin.
"That was torturous," June commented.
"Nah, that was fun. I can't wait to hear them scream," Serenity chirped.
"At least we won't have to deal with more troublesome people when we're older," June commented.
"Who knows, we could meet psychopathic murders from a different dimension," Serenity laughed.
"Serenity that can't ever happen," Ashton deadpanned.
"Who knows, but at least I'm staying single," Serenity commented. "No you're not," Ashton replied.
"The day we meet psychopathic murders from a different dimension will turn into the day Serenity develops a crush," June chuckled.
"Imagine a guy with a carrot top head with lots of piercings visiting us! Or a shark man or a man with the name weasel!" Serenity chirped.
"You're watching too much anime Serenity," June deadpanned. Serenity pouted, crossing her arms while Ashton laughed patting her cousin on the back.
"Well at least none of that will ever happen."
But how wrong they were.
So what you think? I thought it was decent.
Funfact time! Ashton had a crush on Tate in high school and Ashton is allergic to shrimp.
I hope you enjoyed the chapter. So, I'm going to trying to start a question and answer thing again. My first question will be, have you wrote your own fanfiction?
Till next time, see you!
